Thanks, looks all good now!

Hi Nadia,

It’s not that it’s broken.. there’s just some usability issues. But I’ll send you some screenshots with explanation. I think that’ll suffice, if not I’ll send access data to a previous development version.

Thanks!
Erik

I found that the error log grew huge. Every time I open media library the following message (or something like it) gets added to the error log:

Hi Nadia,

What causes the issue is the fact that body.upload-php.eml-grid #wpbody has a fixed position. When I disable that, and also the adapted left position, everything works normal (that is, how I expected it and prefer it to work.)
So I’ll just change the css file.
Thanks!
Erik

yes it was the v1.2.3, the 1.2.5 solved the issue!

Thanks, Erik

Hi again!

I finally installed the latest Zara – but when I exclude images from bulk compression, this doesn’t take effect. When I return to the library page they are back in ‘included’ state, and the number of images that will be compressed with a click on the button, stays on 245.

Erik

Looks great for now, no crashes, no errors.

I’ll install it on the production site, exclude 250 images from compression, and test it for some time.

Thanks !

Erik

Hi Anita,

Actually the site that crashed is not really suitable as crash-test site (I just finished it for an organization that is actively showing it around now :)), so tonight I’ll get a copy running to test your latest version.

Unfortunately I have to leave now and can only do some testing in about 6 hours.

I let you know how things go!

Erik

Since the 2.4.1 update I also experience grid-view issues. Not solved by emptying cache.
When scrolling the page the WP dashboard column scrolls, not the page.
The grid itself can also be scrolled, but on smaller screens or with some messages on top of the page, it is a mighty small area (one row of pictures, or sometimes it disappears from screen completely) In case of messages: clicking them away does not move the grid up, just leaves an empty space.

Any ideas?

Erik

Yes, seems to be the biggest WP issue, conflicting plugins. Makes it a tricky business!

Was no problem to restore the site, took the plugin out by ftp

Good luck, looking forward to be a happy Zara user again ??

Thanks, I really appreciate your efforts, and would love to try out!

Unfortunately after updating and activating the plugin, the whole site went down with a 500 internal server error.

PHP Fatal error: Cannot use Zara4\API\Communication\Util as Util because the name is already in use in /home/mcnvorg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/zara-4/lib/WordPress/Zara4.php on line 4

Kind regards, Erik

Hi Anita,

Great you are working on this !!

I asked the support already to stop the monthly payment, I don’t need a refund.

Just wondering about the fix you’re working on. If I would update the plugin and activate it again, will it recognize the currently compressed images, or only work good with newly added images?

Hi Anita,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply, and the table view tip. Unfortunately the restored images look the same bad. Maybe they’ve been compressed more often than twice. But I found I have a pretty recent backup with most of the images in their previous state. So that saves a lot of work.
If you need any info from my side that could be of any help, please let me know.

Have a great weekend and a happy new year!

Erik

Yes, I experienced the same issues (also using Slider Revolution and Visual Composer): whole website layout gets messed up.

Hey,

Yes, that’s of course an option, just thought it would be nice if it could be done in the grid itself, without extra divs just for styling.

And for the 2nd question, I added that code and it works fine. Just wondered if it could be a good feature to include in the plugin.

Thanks!
