    No, this is part of the base programming logic I implemented. Changing that would change it for everyone. Unless you convince me otherwise, my thinking was that someone who has solved a puzzle will have an interest in seeing what he/she has achieved.

    After a page reload or when visiting the page again at a later time, the original view will be restored: the crossword is hidden, and you can restart solving it. (Whether this has any influence on achievements is up to the BadgeOS settings choosen for the page.)

    If you state only one crossword in the shortcode for the achivement page, only one will be displayed and can be submitted.

    Add a CRW achievement, click on the “Crosswordsearch shortcode” button, select “solve” mode, and in the line Crossword, select the one you want to display. Do not forget to activate the Timer and check the Submission line.

    For further information on solution submissions, see here, and for details on shortcodes, here.

    (May I throw a bit of technical explanation at you? Complain if you do not understand the following!)

    This message is a sign that the frontend javascript code for the plugin does not load. The reason seems to be that some server code on your side alters the <html> tag. I can see the following:

    <html class=" js svg inlinesvg svgfilters cssfilters" lang="en">

    which is definitely not the standard, and which misses the attributes the plugin must add for it to work:

    xmlns:ng="https://angularjs.org" id="ng-app" ng-app="crwApp"

    Could this be something done by your theme?

    This is not an issue with Crosswordsearch. The difference between the two pages is that the second “before” one sets a class c-sw on the body element while the first “after” one does not.

    Together with these style rules:

    /* /themes/wp-pinup/style.css, line 154 */
#content {
    width: 70%;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}
/* /themes/wp-pinup/style.css, line 2355 */
.c-sw #content {
    width: 100%;
}

    the small column can be explained.

    Crosswordsearch does not tamper in any way with the body element. In fact, since the pages both do not contain the crosswordsearch shortcode, neither is the html produced altered in any way, nor are any resources (scripts or stylesheets) loaded.

    You will have to find out how the theme identifies what it calls “Sidebar-Wide | Content”.

    Sorry, I didn’t see this question earlier – I suspect the forum uprade swallowed up my notification…

    There is no direct way to remove the level description, but you could hide it via CSS. Place a file crosswordsearch.css into the base folder of your active theme with the content:

    .crw-level { display: none; }

    This will hide the paragraph for both build and solve areas. Please note that this will not disable the level functionality, but only hide the explanation/selction element.

    If you want to hide it only for solve areas, the CSS rule would be:

    p + .crw-level { display: none; }

    If you want to hide it only for build areas, the CSS rule would be:

    form + .crw-level { display: none; }

    I hope this helps.

    Crosswordsearch itself does not show submissions, but only provides an interface for other plugins to work with them. Detailed instructions how to set that up are here.

    In a nutshell, you can currently choose between three plugins to log results: the simplistic Custom Logging Service, the administration tool Simple History or the gamification framework BadgeOS. If none of them fit your needs, contact me again to see if I can help you.

    While I am still waiting for your report, I have now published a new version that should fix most of the cache issues. LEt me know if it works for you.

    Plugin Author ccprog

    (@ccprog)

    The cache is the primary candidate. Do you mean WP Super Cache?

    Are you aware that Wordfence also contains a caching engine? Make sure you use only one of them.

    Caching is a problem because for security reasons the crossword pages contain a dynamic security token. Caches may or may not serve an old token. So, if you disable caching or clear the cache, things might work out. If you then re-anable caching, the error may in extreme cases only re-appear after one or two days.

    Hello Judy,

    my apologies this took a few more days to answer, due to other obligations.

    So, what I can see for now is that on https://www.missionsquares.com/2016/03/25/word-search-puzzles/ (as an example) the crosswords do not load. My first question is: does this happen also for you? Does it make a difference whether you are logged in when loading the page or not?

    It would be helpfull if you could tell me what other plugins and Jetpack modules you have installed. Do you use a caching plugin, or are you aware of your provider caching pages?

    Thanks in advance for your willing ness to help.

    You have set the difficulty level of the riddle to 1, which means the words to be found are listed. To hide them, select level 3 (word directions right or down) or 4 (every direction might be included).

    Well, this is Reviews, not Support, so I have to live with you stating a bad experience.

    That said, I have a suspicion what happened. Do you see that request to fill in name and author immediately after opening the page and before you have a chance to design anything?

    In this case, I would like to take a look at that page, if you could give me an address, as much for helping you out as for me to learn from that error.

    It would be nice to have that chance for improvement.

    I just fixed a bug where multiple shortcodes in one page lead to the permission error you got. If that was the case for you (for example because you have the design and solving areas in the same post, or on a overview page there is more than one post with a game area), the new version 0.7.3 might help you out.

    May your experience be caused by poor documentation?

    I am in the process of rewriting the usage instructions. Did you complete all the steps mentioned here?

    Plugin Author ccprog

    (@ccprog)

    First, what should happen is this:

    • If you are logged in and you open the crossword creation page, saving the riddle should not include entering your username and password.
    • If you are not logged in and you open the crossword creation page, the Save dialog should include username and password fields.

    You might want to try both variants. Do not log in/log out while the page is open.

    If this doesn’t lead you anywhere, setting the page into Debug mode might reveal more. The error message will then include a reason why you can’t save.

    Please remember that using Debug mode on a site that can be publicly reached is a serious security hazard.

    Which account did you use while trying to save the crossword? Did you add that account to the list of editors for the project?
