Thanks cycentum, that was exactly what I needed!

The system will show the pedigree of each individual. Is that what you mean?

The page doesn’t have to be “chart”. It can be any page, you just have to insert the shortcode [pedigree-chart] in it and also refer to that page in the Pedigree Builder Options.

Then create your posts and make sure they have the category “Pedigree”

Have you gone through the steps here?: https://www.esscotti.com/wp-pedigree-builder/

In the WP Pedigree Builder Options there is a field for “Link to Pedigree Chart Page”. Since I installed WP in a subfolder to my site called “breeder” I had to change this field to “/breeder/chart/”

As for the shortcode on the chart page it should work with just “[pedigree-chart]”

Regarding the sizing of the chart, It should fit if your theme has a 1000px width. Otherwise you might have to play around with the CSS. I recommend the Firefox plugin “Firebug” for identifying and experimenting with different CSS styles to get everything to fit correctly on your page.

Okay now it works. I had a couple of problems:

I installed WordPress in a sub folder of my main site. In the “Link to pedigree chart page” I had to include the subfolder name before the page to the chart.
I had to add root=” to the shortcode on the chart page, otherwise it doesn’t show any data.

Okay it works. I had a couple of problems:

• I installed WordPress in a sub folder of my main site. In the “Link to pedigree chart page” I had to include the subfolder name before the page to the chart.
• I had to add root=” to the shortcode on the chart page, otherwise it doesn’t show any data.

I hope this helps someone. I don’t know if the developer of this plugin is interested in updating or enhancing it but I think it has great potential. I’m not an expert with PHP, otherwise I might try to enhance it myself. Good Luck!

Did you get it to work? I can’t get it to show any data in the charts. I’m using a fresh install of WP 3.5.1, no other plugins.

I found the exact same hack on one of my sites. I removed the offending code from functions.php and all works fine now, but I expect they will be back again. Please let us know if you find out how they are getting in and I will do the same.

Thanks I had the same problem. I was thinking that the plugin just enhanced the standard text widget and I was mystified that it wasn’t working until I found your forum post. PHP Code Widget is a very useful plugin!

You might want to install Firebug for the Firefox browser. I too have had to make some adjustments to the CSS to make Eshop look right with my themes, and Firebug makes it pretty easy to view the CSS and change it “on the fly” to see how it looks before actually changing the stylesheet. Frankly, I wouldn’t be able to design websites without Firebug or something like it.

Okay, I downgraded WP to version 3.4.2 and now all is well adding media to posts. I had to play around with FireBug and modify the CSS so that the tree fits properly with my theme (Suffusion). It looks great! This is an excellent plugin! I will donate.

I found that adding media works fine when using an earlier version of WordPress. I installed the WP Family Tree plugin on a WP version 3.2.1 site which has the older media insert screens and there was no problem. I also noticed that other users have reported the “Add Media” functionality in 3.5 can be buggy. So I guess for now I’ll try downgrading WP so that I can use WP Family Tree. I hope this issue gets resolved soon.

Thank you David, for providing the code to downgrade jQuery. That fixed my “white flash”. What a relief! I owe you a beer.
