I was able to find a workaround by creating an image canvas 800 x 500, and then placing an size-optimized photo on that canvas. Going to mark this post as resolved.

Thanks sylwwwester. Looks like the plugin update and subsequent running of the update script that didn’t run the first time around had some interesting effects on the display formatting, which is where my extra lines were coming up. I was able to fix that pretty easily.

I’m currently trying to get rid of the tabs that show up in the widget (list format). I found this in the admin.css, but my changes had no impact. I was careful to delete my browser cache. If you have any insight, I’d truly appreciate it.

.simcal-field-datetime-format {
  padding: 10px 0 5px; }
  .simcal-field-datetime-format > div {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03);
    border: 1px dashed rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.18);
    border-radius: 3px;
    cursor: move;
    display: inline-block;
    float: left;
    margin: 0 10px 15px 0;
    padding: 10px; }
  .simcal-field-datetime-format select {
    display: block; }
  .simcal-field-datetime-format > span {
    clear: both;
    display: block; }
  .simcal-field-datetime-format .ui-sortable-helper {
    box-shadow: -2px 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12);
    -webkit-transform: rotate(2deg);
            transform: rotate(2deg); }

Thanks so much. I re-submitted the site yesterday to Google (and a couple other engines too). The new site is only about a week old, and I’ve noticed Google hasn’t picked it up yet at all. Hopefully soon.

Thanks for your work on this plugin. This is the first time my organization has text search capability (such a critical feature IMHO) and I’m excited to be able to show them how powerful it is.

Don’t know if it helps, but I found this in the readme. I filed a bug report via the plugin the same day I found your post in this forum, but I haven’t heard back either.

If your posts queue up for a long time on the campaigns page then you need to ensure that your WordPress cron is running correctly.

**Security and bug-fixes are our highest priority, if you come across any issues then please go to the credits section within the plugin and send us a message.**

As I mentioned, I’m a contractor with limited access to the back end and no access to email so I’m a bit handicapped in my troubleshooting abilities. If issues continue, I may contact the hosting company to see if they can see anything useful on their side.

vegardlr, the job I wrote about in my previous reply took about 4 hours for ~80 recipients. I changed the batch settings so that there will be only 1 batch, and after a post yesterday, the batch completed in about 1 minute. We have another post going out today, and I’l looking forward to similar results. No multiple emails since I tried your workaround.

Thanks again for sharing!

vegardlr, I have a job running now. It looks like it’s stuck halfway through the job again, but I’m keeping an eye on it and will let you know what happens.

By any chance, do you know if it’s possible for a double opt-in configuration? I noticed the number of subscribers increased and they all looked like bogus accounts so I deleted them.

I seem to be OK with batching. My total number of subscribers is about 80. I tried modifying the batch settings when the job seemed to be get stuck (resulting in multiple emails for some, none for others) but it didn’t help.

I’ll try it soon and let you know. The only thing that makes troubleshooting difficult for me is that I don’t have access to the email server so I can’t monitor handoff and delivery. I couldn’t find any local logging either.

Thanks so much for sharing. I want to try this on my site, but first can you share the other behavior you mentioned? I want to be sure the secondary issue isn’t worse than the first for the site I’m developing.

Same here. When I check the send status, it appears to be stuck halfway through the job — now 18+ hours later. I’ve already received 5 copies of the same email at various intervals, the 5th one being about 2 hours ago (16 hours after the post was published).

CrouchingBruin, you rock! I’m slightly embarrassed about the oversight but relieved to know it’s a bit more straightforward than I thought.

I took the time this morning to read about the various post formats. I have been using standard in the various sites that are affiliated with this one so it’s a setting I never needed to toggle and clearly didn’t understand well.

Enjoy your day!

The 3.8.1 update resolved this issue. Perfect timing that it was released today…I was running out of options and time.

I deleted the Memory Bump plugin right after I activated it. I also deleted all my inactive plugins.

Currently I don’t have a test/dev environment…my site is live and I’m using wp-admin. However, this morning I’ve been trying to set up a localhost copy so I can do some testing and try some of these things offline.

Ugh…I just lost the connection to the host through my wifi and think I might have been blacklisted again…this happens from time to time. Will post an update as soon as I can.

Update…I tried a couple things but still have the same issues…

I had my host set the following values in the PHP config:
suhosin.post.max_vars = 5000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 5000

I also used the Memory Bump plugin.

I also tried created a new menu (a 2nd menu), and I’m able to make changes and save them.

At this point, I only have a live site for a town, so I don’t have a ton of room to make temporary changes.

My hosting provider was able to get this resolved for me as things came to a screeching halt until it got fixed. The rep told me that he turned off magic_quotes.
