Thank you for all your help.

This is quite odd.

1. I had noticed that Jetpack would not connect but did not/could see any adverse errors and so did not report or remediate it.
2. I have removed and reinstalled Jetpack and I believe it has been correctly installed and is now connected.
3. I deactivated “Classic Widget” and checked the legacy linkroll widget, which reports the display properties as I expected and the html renders correctly. This implies that in the previous state, the linkroll widget could not persist the properties if they were changed.
4. I can install the Blogroll widget i.e. no error messages and it seems to render correctly on the HTML page. Can you point me at how to create a list of sites for the Blogroll widget, my brief experiments suggest it will only link to the blog at its top level, and not articles. (I have cut and paste URL’s into the widget.) The site is currently displaying the blogroll widget @ https://davelevy.info/wiki. This does not do what I want, and since it’s beta I will happily document why if you could point me at the correct team/address.

Thank you for keeping this open beyond your normal practice.

The widget is called “Links”; it is not a jetpack widget.

I have installed “Classic Widgets” and the page now behaves as expected. i.e. the two properties i.e. “show link description” & “show link ratings” when unset are presumably written to the persistent store and the page renders as expected.

The jetpack “blogroll” widget still displays an error as described above. I have 37 active plugins. This blog is a personal blog and I don’t have the time to remove them one at a time to discover the conflicting plugin, if there is one as I now have a usable work-a-round.

I believe that this is a bug in block editor, because disabling it for widgets has seemingly resolved my problem. Can you raise it in the appropriate place?

Thank you for this, I will try what you suggest. Please do not close this yet.

Do I need the Classic Widgets plugin?

Thank you, here is the displayed html,

and here is the editor display screen,

I am using firefox on w11.

I note that this is a legacy widget; when I try to load the ‘blogroll beta’ I get an error with the message, “Whoops, we have encountered an error. Please try again later.”

I have as directed re-opened this at this post.

Here’s the generated html,

<li style="opacity: 1;">

    <a 

        title="My notes on using Creativeily, this theme">

Please re-open this. I failed to see the replies as I was confused by the email subject title.

The reason I think it’s jet pack is that when I use the link roll widget editor, I uncheck the “link description” and “link rating” check boxes, press “update” and yet when I look at the page, the description and rating remain displayed.

When I refresh the widget editor page, the description and rating are reset as checked and to be displayed.

In my case, the widget editor is failing to persist its updates.

Yup! Fantastic

The pictures are left aligned between the arrows, I have tried center_mode=”true”, which has no effect can this be fixed too.

That’s fixed it, just give me a day to see if there’s anything else.

Thank you

I have tried,

.wpls-fix-box {max-width: unset; overflow: unset;} and .wpls-fix-box div img {max-width: unset; overflow: unset;} using the additional-css feature

and I have deleted the css lines from style.css but that doesn’t seem to be effective. When I use the inspector and uncheck the properties, I get to see the pictures.

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thank you for your help.

I have removed lazy load from jetpack and wp cache. I have made a new entry to see if caching was a problem. I still get the behaviour as described above.

Your data-conf string seems to set your lazyload parameter to null. I have tried the alternative values with no change in behaviour. The data conf string now is the only mention of lazyload in the HTML.

Oddly, when I use another theme, the widget works as expected.

Here is a revised i.e. new page. https://davelevy.info/wiki/a-test-for-logo-showcase/

In building this I discovered that without the slides_column argument, it displays all three pictures in the set, and with that argument set to 1, it displays none. I have used a smaller picture set for ease of use. i.e. I used the cat_id argument.

This page currently uses the shortcode, with slides_column set to one.

I typed the short code and argument in from a keyboard, and in the previous email, I ensured that the double quote character was also typed in from the keyboard, or thought I had.
