In reply to: [Custom Post Type UI] Unable to add custom taxonomiesThanks. I meant they disappeared int the metabox.
But a few hours later, they stopped disappearing, so perhaps it was a caching issue.
However, it would be great to know how to display them on the front end. I couldn’t find that in documentation. Or do I need to work with my theme developer for that?

In reply to: [Search & Filter] Change ‘All Tags’ text in DropDown Men uThis is answered in the documentation. Use
headings=",All Tags"
within the shortcode to change the name, so that your shortcode ends up something like this
[searchandfilter fields="search,post_tag" types=",checkbox" headings=",New Name for All Tags" submit_label="Filter"]
I am not the plugin maker, just a fellow user.

In reply to: [Subtitles] Subtitles not appearing in category pagesGot it working now!

In reply to: [Subtitles] Subtitles not appearing in category pagesThanks so much! Here’s one, but as I said it doesn’t show up on the post page either. I assume it would be visible in code view:

In reply to: [Subtitles] Subtitles not appearing in category pagesI use GeneratePress and asked the developer about this. He said:
Hmm, that shouldn’t apply to GeneratePress, as
the_title()
is present within the loop: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/2.0.2/content.php#L34So that doesn’t seem to apply.

In reply to: [LH Archived Post Status] Noindex?Yes.
That would be great. Currently I am periodically add archived posts to Archive category and then they get noindexed via this function:
if (is_single() && in_category(‘archive’)) {
echo ‘<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex, follow”>’;
}But if I could do it without the category it would be easier.

In reply to: [NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster] WordPress excerpt issuesThis only happens when we use SNAP. It doesn’t happen for any other posts. So it’s not the theme doing it, and I’m not sure how any other plugin other than SNAP could be responsible for this.
If it was a plugin other than SNAP, the same thing should happen in posts that are not automated by SNAP as well.

In reply to: [NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster] Nothing autopostsThanks. I was using my host’s Cron following your directions, but it didn’t help and it interfered with other plugins. I’ve switched back to using WP Cron. I am still having the issue of not being able to autopost. I get the same “Scheduled” message, but the post never goes live until I manually push it.
Then, when I push it, it double-posts to all outlets. Argh!
To solve that, I’ve turned off autoposting for all networks and will just use manual posting as needed to prevent the double posting.
I had really been hoping to transition to paid SNAP for all my autoposting needs, but since it won’t even autopost at all despite my multiple attempts to fix it, I’m not sure what to do.

In reply to: [NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster] WordPress excerpt issuesI don’t know why SNAP would create it, but it does. ??
A manual excerpt is an excerpt that appears in the Excerpt meta box in the wordpress editor, as explained in this article: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-customize-wordpress-excerpts-no-coding-required/
When SNAP sends a post to my destination blog, it adds the html
<img src ="%IMG%"> <%EXCERPT% <a href="%URL%">Read the full post on Dale Cameron Lowry's blog for writers</a>.
both to the visual/text editor in the WordPress Post editor, and also to the Excerpt meta box.

https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZ4Kqp7Z7o448AirYEFR1EGcAl02BHiYhQqy
When the Manual excerpt is deleted (the box is left empty), the blog entry/link on the index page looks more normal, as in this screenshot:

In reply to: [LH Archived Post Status] Posts not being archivedHi,
I used the process described on this help page one the SiteGround website: https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/real-cron-job/
It adds
define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
to the wp-config.php file, then adds a different cron job from the host.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [LH Archived Post Status] Posts not being archivedThanks. I had wp-cron disabled and real cron turned on through my host (SiteGround). I have reenabled WP Cron and it seems to be back to working (some of the archive dates disappeared when I switched back to WP Cron, but when I reset them, they went into effect and archived the posts).
Is there a way for this plugin to work with WP Cron disabled and a real cron enabled in its place?
We couldn’t figure it out, but then they changed their theme for unrelated reasons and it started to work. Resolved!

In reply to: [WP Show Posts] Category wise excerptsI’m not Tom, but if you mean that you want to create a different post list for each category, you do that by specifying the taxonomy when you create a new post list.
