Conflicts and Embeded Post/Page issues

Line 656:

$args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 999, ‘post_type’ => ‘all’,’post_status’ => ‘all’);

We have 6400ish posts so I changed this line to:

$args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 999, ‘post_type’ => ‘page’,’post_status’ => ‘publish’);

Now only pages with a published status appear. What are your thoughts?

Still can’t see any entries on the page with shortcode.

Also, anyway to order them by page name? They are all over the place. I’d love to chat with you offline on this plugin, it had huge potential!

Thanks for putting this together!

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. I’m all for implementing suggestions from real users since I originally developed this plugin for use in my own projects and have not had much time to think about other use cases.

First things first. The conflict with members plugin and/or User Role Editor Plugin is something I’d have to investigate. I have tested Sticky List with Members (0.2.4) without any issues. There is however another support thread with similar problems where the conflict was with the Members plugin.

I should also tell you that there is a fully documented version of Sticky List (with lots(!) of code comments) on Github, check it out here.

Regarding your suggested code change:

$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 999, 'post_type' => 'page','post_status' => 'publish');

There are some things to consider. First, there are users that put forms in posts or other custom post types, therefor, showing only pages would make it impossible select those forms.

Second, setting post_status to publish would prevent users from previewing the list while the post/page is still in draft.

I do agree that if you have lots of pages/posts the dropdown gets to long and that makes it hard to find the right item. Maybe we could implement alphabetic sorting, or categorize the items in some way. Or maybe give the user the option to manually enter an url.

Last thing. You say that you “can’t see any entries on the page with shortcode”. Does that meen that the list is not showing up at all, or do you see lots of rows but with now entries visible?

Hello again. I have released a new version (1.0.4) with the option to manually input the embed url (and also alphabetic sorting of post/pages in dropdown).

Regarding your issue of not being able to see any entries in the list, check the FAQ and see if any suggestions there resolves your problem.

I’ll be happy to work with you on this to get everything working.

The latest version is now 1.0.6. Grab that and see if it solves your issues. I’m working on version 1.1 which will include support for editing and deleting wordpress posts.

I would like to mark this topic as resolved so please post back when you get the time.

Have you been able to address the issues with the members plugins?

Thank you!

Unfortunately I have not. The problem is that I cannot reproduce the error myself. I you have the time, could you please provide me with directions on how to reproduce the problem in the simplest way using a fresh install of wordpress?

I’m going to mark this topic as resolved. If you are able to further assist me in reproducing these issue, please reopen this topic.
