“Open to Selection” WP-dTree 3.3

It should be working. Are you sure you’ve activated it? Please post a link to your site.

Thank you Ulf for your quick response and once again for your great work.
As the navigation is implemented into archive and category pages I give you a direct link to an example:
https://teutonika.de/haus/?cat=126
There the Tree (“Treppe”) is supposed to open to the author “Tim Boson” and if you link to a single article or another autors page the tree should “follow”.
The option “Open to selection” is activated.
Due to the fact that my theme (based on Hemmingway) does not support widgets it may well be the reason.

Edit:
I guess it’s because I call the function “wp_dtree_get_categories” within the archive.php itself an not within the sidebar. In the past I had some problems with this configuration in terms of getting the info from the loop.

Your installation seems to be broken in more ways than one. For instance, the entire tree is disrupted when you open a category.

If “Open to selection” is on, and the script get any kind of request uri (such as “/haus/?cat=126” in your example) – you would have “c.openTo(xx, true);” at the bottom of you category tree (view source). Since you don’t there are two possible scenarios: 1 – your server has some strange configuration, or 2 – Open to selection is not activated.

I ran a quick test on a development site of mine, and “open to selection” works well for both the archive and category tree.

Try running your site and wpdtree in the default theme and see if that makes a difference.

So I tried in various ways: re-install the plugin, deactivated other plugins and use the default theme (the tree won’t function there at all). The option is activated within the administration panel.
As I understand, your plugin uses the url to “Open To Selection”, so I have no clue why that shouldn’t work.

Do you have any idea for a workaround or whereelse I should search for “the trick” ?

Thank you very much.

the tree won’t function there at all

What specifically did not work in the default theme? Were you using the widgets? Did it display a tree? Was there any output at all?

Earlier version of Open to Selection had problems if the server that’s handling page requests for your site wasn’t on the same domain as the blog’s home URL. The current one shouldn’t suffer from that though.

After adressing my first questions, I’d recommend you go back through the previous releases and find out if any of them worked. Perhaps we can find what changed and broke for you.

Within the default theme I used the sidebar widget to implement the tree. I tried to display category and archive entries. The open/close link was displayed (with no function) but no tree output whatsoever.

I’ll try your suggestion with previous releases and report the results.

Thank you again.

Got it!

I had to change the blog-url in the administration-panel, as the wordpress installation lies within a sub-folder on my server. Before, I linked to that folder with a short index.html; now I do that – as it should be – with the index.php outside wordpress, directing to it. And so the tree is working great!

Thank you Ulf, I’ll take look at your Amazon-List.

Good to hear! And thank you. ??

Great plugin. I am just new to this. One problem I am having is I am only able to show 3 categories. I have been looking for an answer for several days and no luck. is there something that needs to be changed in the plugin?

TIA
