In reply to: [Yoast SEO] Add Open Graph meta data changes og:type “article” to “website”That’s the thing. Ive disabled as many plugins as I can without affecting overall site functionality. Any suggestions on which type of plugins to look for? What type of plugins would push a og:type “website”?

In reply to: [Yoast SEO] The following required properties are missing: fb:app_idI am in a similar situation. Any explanation on the fix? I have disabled all the plugins that might affect my tags, but still not working.
Thank you. Finally figured it out. Works great now. I know the widget will show the current status (though if I have updated a link, etc on FB, the widget shows “none” under my profile pic). I like the activity and recommendation widgets, they rock! I can now blog to my heart’s delights directly within my own website, and have my friends easily link their favorite posts to their fb walls. Loving it. I completely ditched an older star-rating widget I was using before.
Is there a way to show more than just the current status? Would I be able to integrate my FB status updates into WordPress like a wall? Or better yet, post a daily digest the way TwitterTools does my tweets? Or just have a widget that displays the my last few updates in a sidebar?
I looked all over and I can’t find an answer within WP, but I feel silly for asking, but what is the User ID? How do I find out my own user id? Otherwise, I love the other widgets and the ability to like directly from my Worpress post.

In reply to: NextGEN Gallery Slideshow for headerSo lovin the gallery now. I’ve coded up a splash slide show on my homepage while using the default settings for slideshows in my pages and posts. BTW, NGG integrates pretty well, it’s a walk in the park to include slideshows from the rte icon.
I’ve got some css tweaks i gotta iron out, but I’m totally satisfied by the functionality NextGen Gallery gives my blog.
The PicLens and CoolIris is just the coolest icing on the cake.
The only thing I’ve noticed is that on the respective pages from an album view, there aren’t any navigation options. Visitors have to know to hit the back button to go from an embedded gallery back to the album. Is there any shortcode for including title or navigation links?

In reply to: [Plugin: Rotating Posts] Using Excerpt Instead of Content?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: NextGEN Gallery Slideshow for headerLet me make sure I understand. I should activate the widget in the sidebar with the right settings, then copy the resulting HTML from a published page, then paste it into my header html? Cool, I’ll give it a try.
Right now, I just have the original approach working out ok. But looking forward to the customization.
NextGen is definitely making it easy to manage a growing library of photos, and i’m able to seperate them from personal scrapbook to professional portfolio collections. While I’m wrestling with design issues, NextGen Gallery is making the asset management tasks very easy.

In reply to: NextGEN Gallery Slideshow for headerYep, sure does work! Thanks!
You can see how it works here on my website’s homepage.
I checked the function and it seems the only parameters to pass are galleryid, width & height. Because my portfolio has images of various dimensions, I at least want to enable things like the Ken Burns effect.How can I pass other options through? Or, if I need to manually code the html, where is the xml file or rss feed format for NGG?
You’ve also inspired me to consider a rotating ad banner display in the header of my page. But I’d have to change the click function to “go to url” rather than “go to next image.” which goes right back to the issue of passing values without shortcode.
Any ideas or suggestions?

In reply to: NextGEN Gallery Slideshow for headerThank you! I was just about to ask the same question for a slightly different purpose. I wanted to create a slideshow on my homepage, below the header, but before the loop of posts. I’ll give this a try!

In reply to: Not Able to Publish Under My Own Username?Thank you. Works like a charm. However, i just rolled everything into the NewUser login and called it a day. So far, so good.

I’ll read, learn, try.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Yahoo News style frontpage?Thanx! I didn’t even think about that. It’s not so much that I’m looking for a new theme, we’re pretty happy with the one we’re using – we just want to clean up the front end. Maybe I can peek under the hood of the other theme templates and (hopefully) figure out how they work. I have a feeling that I’m going to have to become more familiar with CSS.
