NGFB Ruined my Portfolio Formatting

NGFB uses the content of your posts/pages to generate the necessary description meta tags. It looks like you may have plugins adding text to your content, which may be formatted with CSS into buttons (aka “Share This” for example), but NGFB would only see the text, obviously.

I would suggest you enter a short description in the post/page excerpt field — NGFB prefers excerpts if there is one defined.

As for the formatting issue — I’m afraid there is a large portion of code on www.remarpro.com etc. that is badly written. A classic example is the use of filters that echo their content instead of returning it. I would guess that disabling the Content Filter, as suggested here https://surniaulula.com/codex/plugins/nextgen-facebook/installation/debugging-and-problem-solving/, might fix that problem. And if you use excerpts, NGFB would not need to apply the WordPress Content Filters, and thus not trigger that badly coded filter you probably have.

You may also want to review the Setup Guide at https://surniaulula.com/codex/plugins/nextgen-facebook/installation/a-setup-guide/– it contains quite a few important notes and considerations.

Let me know if this issue is resolved, or you need further assistance.

Thanks,

Perhaps I didn’t word my orignal post well. I haven’t used NGFB. My site is still under construction and I haven’t published any posts or shared anything with NGFB. All I know is that I activated it and the next thing I know my portfolio names are screwed up as shown in my op.

I’m not a programmer and I’m not interested in re-coding my wp site. I’ve since deleted NGFB (and I won’t re-load) but the coding now shows up on new portfolios that I create. I was hoping for an easy way to stop this from happening, but that doesn’t sound possible.

Also, if you know that there’s a ‘large portion of badly written code’ on www.remarpro.com, why don’t you take that into account when developing your plugins or warn people who download them that it might be an issue?

Also, you’re second link above is broken.

Thanks anyway.

By unchecking the Apply Content filter, it allows NGFB to bypass a common coding mistake in filters, so yes, I do take into account badly coded plugins. This is also explained in the docs I referred: https://surniaulula.com/codex/plugins/nextgen-facebook/installation/debugging-and-problem-solving/

WordPress decided to include the hyphens in the link, so the second URL should read: https://surniaulula.com/codex/plugins/nextgen-facebook/installation/a-setup-guide/

I will close this thread since you no longer have an issue with NGFB.
