No worries. Glad you found a solution that doesn’t involve editing the plugin each time it’s updated!

Yeah….I really like this plugin but this ‘Permalink to’ text is unnecessary and a bit odd.

You’ll have to edit the plugin to get rid of this. Go to the plugin editor in WP, use the drop-down to select the plugin.

Go to Includes > functions.php and on line 170, you’ll find this:

$html .= '<h3 class="rpwe-title"><a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" title="' . sprintf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'recent-posts-widget-extended' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) . '" rel="bookmark">' . esc_attr( get_the_title() ) . '</a></h3>';

Delete 'Permalink to %s', so that you’re left with:

$html .= '<h3 class="rpwe-title"><a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" title="' . sprintf( esc_attr__( 'recent-posts-widget-extended' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) . '" rel="bookmark">' . esc_attr( get_the_title() ) . '</a></h3>';

The ‘Permalink to’ text should now be no more. However, you will have to do this every time the plugin is updated unless the dev removes this permanently. AFAIK, it has no benefit (SEO or other) and isn’t needed.

You’re welcome ??

I found that I had to go to Tools – Privacy – Privacy Policy and click on the ‘Save & Generate policy’ button and then copy the generated text into the Privacy Policy page that was created at setup.

Does that work for you?

At the moment, I can’t replicate the issue where the default privacy tools page (no unique identifier string) shows the account info for the last user request that I made with the privacy tool. Either with opcache on or off.

Previously it only happened a couple of times when I was testing the tool anyway. Possibly it was because I was activating and deactivating multiple plugins to try to find out if there was a conflict from preventing the user data management page from being displayed when using the unique url sent by email.

If it happens again, I’ll update this thread.

The issue with the unique url not displaying the user data management page and just reverting to the base privacy page url is still happening though. Even with no active plugins.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I thought it was a cache issue so I cleared the W3TC cache and deactivated the plugin. This still happened so I wondered if it was showing the data based on IP address. I have Zend Opcache enabled on the server but if that’s the problem then I can’t use this aspect of the plugin as I’m not going to deactivate it just to stop this from happening – especially as it doesn’t happen every time I try it.

Hopefully, when you get this function working properly it won’t be an issue anyway!

I self host on Linode VPS. So I can’t blame Hostgator or GoDaddy ??

There’s no point – I have rolled back to a working version. I’m sure it is a conflict with the theme (Divi) or another plugin. If I find out what’s causing it, I’ll update this thread. Given that I’m not the only person to report this, you may want to do some additional testing with some of the more common themes and plugins.

Yup, made a couple of changes and saved the settings. Cleared the cache. Clicking on the menu definitely doesn’t work.

No worries. Glad I was able to help ??

Try adding !important

So:

.cs-previous, .cs-next {
background-color: transparent;
box-shadow: none;
}

Becomes:

.cs-previous, .cs-next {
background-color: transparent!important;
box-shadow: none!important;
}

Hi Felix

I gave up in the end and just bought a copy of Layerslider instead. It was just too time consuming to try to find out what CrellySlider was conflicting with. In your case, the circles have colour and shadow that makes them visible. You can’t just hide the entire element as then the prev/next arrows will disappear.

Adding this to your CSS should fix your problem:

.cs-previous, .cs-next {
background-color: transparent;
box-shadow: none;
}

Hope that helps!

Thanks very much for the offer. I’m going to see if I can find out what’s wrong myself first as BPS Pro has been the culprit in the past (great security but there are many settings/custom code entries that can restrict access/functionality for other plugins).

I can fix the z index issue by changing it in the fixed header wrapper CSS in my theme – just wanted to let you know that it was happening as it wasn’t the case before the new version.

Nope…the two options to centre an element don’t work with either a text or image element.

Also, the z index seems to change on mobiles so that the slider scrolls up in front of the fixed header (which it didn’t do before).

And it seems to be quite a bit slower on mobiles than the previous version. Even after it has been cached (another thing – I had to add jquery.crellyslider.min.js to the Autoptimize js minify exclusion list to get it to work at all. Previously, I only had to exclude jquery.js).

It could be something to do with the caching (W3TC & Autoptimize) or security (Wordfence & BPS Pro) plugins but it could just as easily be another plugin or the theme (Headway). I don’t really have to time to deactivate plugins one-by-one or try another theme right now but I’ll try to get round to it soon and let you know if I find anything.

Thanks for the help anyway.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

That info about the font-family makes sense. I can see that the CSS for the previous version is inheriting the theme font.

the centre vertically/horizontally buttons have no effect on any element

– I tried to set the button and text elements using these new options but nothing changed in the preview. Will they work on sliders built with previous versions or only on new ones?

Yeah, normally I would be delighted when plugins uninstall everything upon deletion…in this case I didn’t want to delete the slider as well and I didn’t spot the warning until I had already clicked the ‘delete’ button! Ooops ??

I’ll update again later and see if the slide deletion was a one-off or a conflict with a plugin or theme.

Hmmm….yes, I can see how that wouldn’t work with galleries.

Well, if it helps, prettPhoto seems to show the alt description instead of the title. Not a perfect solution but until the devs come up with a fix for this it will at least show a title (of sorts) above the image.

I’ll post back here if I find a fix for this.
