mcm_categories not visible in bulk dropdown

Hai Konsument,
Thanks for using my plugin.
The problem could be the page you want to use the dropdown filter.
Can you tell me what page you are viewing when the problem occurs?
In my plugin, I test that page and it is only shown on some pages.
Hope this helps.

Hi Jan,

thanks for your fast response. I figured the problem out myself:

You need to have Post Thumnails support enabled.

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

Without this line the selector wont show up.

Could you please explain why?

Well, the post thumbnails support helps showing the dropdown for normal post and pages.

How do I get the dropdown shown for my CPT?

Hai Konsument,

Good catch. Sorry that this doesn’t completely solve your problem.

Can you tell me what page you are viewing when the problem occurs? This is shown in the url part after the wp-admin (e.g. ‘upload.php’, ‘post-new.php’).
In my plugin, I test that page and it is only shown on some pages.

Hi Jan,

sry for my late reply. The problem occours on post.php when editing a custom post type. I solved the problem by adding

add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’, array( ‘post’, ‘custom-type’ ) );

But now after updating to latest WP 4.4.1 and plugin version 1.8.1 an other “bug” occurs – the dropdown is hidden. Pls see screenshots:

Hai Konsument,

Thanks for solving this issue.

The next issue has something to do with css styling.
I can reproduce the issue when I remove the “admin.css” file from the WP MCM installation.

The width of the drop down is calculated for two drop down lists. When I add a third one, the drop down lists become too large to fit. So I limited the width of the drop down to 30%. However, when the “admin.css” file containing this setting is not loaded (properly?), it will miss the setting.
What browser are you using? It may have something to do with that.

Hope this helps.

Gr.
Jan

Hi Jan,

solved with latest version (1.8.2). Thanks for your support!

best
