Version 1.2.7 displays nothing after WP upgrade

I have a similar problem. No more feed displayed. When in settings/shortcode there is no blue save button. Instead it says:

[simply_instagram endpoints=”users” type=”self-feed” size=”thumbnail” presentation=”polaroid” display=”1″ displayoption=”instagram” showphotographer=”true” photocomment=”1″ stat=”true” photocaption=”true” displaycomment=”true”]

I’m guessing this is a similar issue to gerardjp’s, above.

I’m not sure if what I was running into is also occurring for you, but in short – our theme is built using bootstrap. One of the styles defined by bootstrap is ‘.tooltip’, which was recently applied to the images in this plugin.

I went through the following file:

‘simply-instagram/simply-instagram-functions.php`

and did a search for ‘tooltip’. I removed ALL instances of the class ‘.tooltip’, and things now appear to be ok. Not sure of any reprocussions of this, but for us…things are ok again.

I’ve left a review and hope the author takes this into consideration.

My recomendation for the plugin author would be to use a different class name other than ‘tooltip’. Maybe ‘si-tooltip’, to prefix it with the plugin name (si = simply instagram).

That would help prevent the conflict with Bootstrap.

Thanks for the tip it works now and I’m using WordPress.

Tried it. Didn’t work. Reviewing further. Update wil follow.

Uncommenting line simply-instagram.php:267

print_r( $atts );

results in an non-existent array (as opposed to an empty array). Declaring one at the start of the class:

private $atts = array();

and adding a test key:

$atts['test'] = 'foobar';

Results on the page as:

Array ( [endpoints] => [type] => [display] => [test] => foobar )

Shouldn’t the array be declared somewhere?

As it seems PHP Warning: Illegal string offset errors started to appear since PHP 5.4. Before that empty key/val’s were silently set.

Still doesn’t explain why it works on another website.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Gerard.

Hi Girardjp,

Can you undo the changes and leave it at the default settings and share a link to your site here? I can take a look. I Was only able to notice my issues because the items were there in the HTML, but there were some un-necessary classes and styles applied to them that was causing them to not be visible.

Hi Evan,

Thanks for the response. Reverted (commented) all my changes. Website in questions is https://www.icycle.nu/

Insta feed is at frontpage.

Gerard.

Hey Girard,

How are you displaying the Instagram feed? Is it in a widget? I’m not seeing the .widget_instagram_recent_media class anywhere on that page.

[simply_instagram endpoints=”” type=”” display=”” ]

Got chat? ??

Extended the shortcode (taken from plugin example display to:

[simply_instagram endpoints="users" type="self-feed" size="thumbnail" presentation="polaroid" display="1" displayoption="instagram" showphotographer="true" photocomment="1" stat="true" photocaption="true" displaycomment="true"]

widget_instagram_recent_media still not showing in the source however.

I haven’t used th shortcode. I was using the widget to generate the feed in a sidebar.

It doesn’t look like the shortcode is generating any sort of html on the page.

It did work though .. I’ll put it in with a widget, to see if that works

I enable a div with the widget, but still no photo’s. Can you check the source to see it if looks as expected? .. widget_instagram_recent_media is still not in there …

From what I can see, the widget does seem to be working:

But for whatever reason, as with all of us here in this thread, your images are set to display:none on initial load. Each site is different, so what may be happening for us may differ from your issue. You’ll need to do a big of digging to figure out what the conflict is with, and make the necessary adjustments to the plugin base.

If that’s a bit outside what your capable of doing, I can only recommend that you leave a negative review outlining what the issue is. As a plugin developer, I know that helps get me into gear and push out an update.

Since I reported the issue a week ago, no one else has left any reviews so the author may not realize the issue is as large scale as it is.
