Resolved with this. However, this technique forces us to use cron on the server. I still would like to find a way to use the standard way with wp-cron… which doesn’t work as advertised.

That worked for me. Thank you @djam77!

However, @wysija this is a workaround, but really this is a bug, as the wp-cron integrated way should be working fine. Any idea on a fix?

Thank you.

IMHO they should always be target _blank by default. Would that be possible?

Just to add a test, I installed the “newsletter” plugin. In their case, you manually “start the engine”, which adds a recuring, 5mins interval cron job to wp-cron. At these intervals it checks if anything needs to be sent and proceeds. But with Mailpoet, when I initiate a send (either immediate — but not a test, as tests send directly and works — or planned), nothing is added to wp-cron.

Does anyone else get the same behaviour? Isn’t mailpoet supposed to add a job to wp-cron? (obviously I have mailpoet’s cron enabled in the geek options).

Well I’m not bringing a solution, but having a similar problem. To verify that the mailpoet cron jobs are being added to wp-cron, I installed the plugin wp-crontrol, which lists all the cron jobs. In my case, if I schedule a mailout, it says the automatic mailout will be started in a few minutes and shows the 0/3 (in the case of a test of 3 subscribers). But nothing ever happens, no matter how many times I go on the site to trigger the cron.

And in my wp-crontrol page, there’s nothing coming from mailpoet, so the cron is never setup. wp-cron works, as if I publish an article in the future it appears in the cron list and gets published at the right time.

My advice to anyone, even if I’ve never had problems with this extension, is to do a backup of the DB beforehand. It’s easy and can save lots of time. I’m always careful with anything that modifies the db in such a drastic way.

UPDATE 2: Disabled other plugins and now it works.

Question: In the default video template (there is only one), the thumbnails are not responsive (they scale down, but on mobile they should also create more rows, not just become minuscule). Is that an option of the payed version?

UPDATE:

I realized that I had a “browser” key, not a server key. So I got it, and replaced the key in my settings. However, it still doesn’t work. Here’s what I get in my PHP error log when I try to add the videos:

After a long process of selection, I selected this plugin for a project.

The problem I’m having is that I can’t save any modification to the gallery… All I can do is delete the sample one, and create a new one. Beyond that, when every time I press “Save Video Gallery”, I just get a blank page (Note: the admin sidebar/top bar are intact, just the content frame is blank). After I press the save button, the url becomes “/wp-admin/admin.php?page=videogallerys_huge_it_videogallery&id=2&task=apply”. (Note: I actually can add videos, but I have to do a reload of the blank page for it to work. I cannot, however, modify the title or the options “views” and “display content”.

There is no php errors in my logs, and no JS error… Tried FF and Chrome.

I’d appreciate any help! Thank you.

Hi emminnn,

To be more precise, you have to create a new .js file which you will load separately. This new file will have the code content of my message above.

Hope that’s clearer!

Answering myself:

It’s entirely possible to use html tags into the “Title” tag. However, if you use the “Tag” directive, it overwrites it. Didn’t work for me because I still had the “Tag” there.

The following example from documentation suggests we can use html tags in “Title”:

[expand title="<img src='falcon_girl.jpg' />" tag="div" alt="Falcon Girl"]Target Content[/expand]

However, this doesn’t work for me, as the whole <img src='falcon_girl.jpg' /> actually displays (view-source reveals that the tag is surrounded by double-quotes, effectively making it text).

Found a quick and dirty way to do this.

I load just a small part of the wp-modal-plugin along with an extra line in my global js file:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

	// Load the modal window
	$('a.login-window').click(function() {

		// Get the value in the href of our button.
		var login_id = $(this).attr('href');

		// Add our overlay to the body and fade it in.
		$('body').append('<div id="overlay"></div>');
		$('#overlay').fadeIn(300);

		// Fade in the modal window.
		$(login_id).fadeIn(300);

		// center our modal window with the browsers.
		var margin_left = ($(login_id).width() + 24) / 2;
		var margin_top = ($(login_id).height() + 24) / 2;

		$(login_id).css({
			'margin-left' : -margin_left,
			'margin-top' : -margin_top
		});

		return false;
	});

// this line added to trigger the popup on page load
$('a.login-window').click();

});

Popup will only happen if the shortcode is on the current page.

Strangely, it was caused by this .htaccess command:

RedirectMatch ^/$ /en/

Strange, really, but that’s what it is!
