Happy to Read You

Hello!

I have a related issue. I installed AddtoAny a week ago and everything was working fine. And then a couple of days ago, I received an update alert that the plugin had a new update, so I installed it. Now, these two functions will not work when enabled:

>> Only show the menu when the user clicks the Share/Save button (it pops up on hover, which is annoying)
>>Show the title of the post (or page) within the menu

— In between the update, I did move to new servers.
— I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Interestingly, even when I do this, the new install remembers my old settings, including custom icons. I am not sure how that happens or if it should.
— I am a little worried now, because I am just noticing that your last update was 69 days ago (according to the plugin page), but I just received the update alert a few days ago. Does this mean anything?

Wonderful product! I am also going to use the RSS subscription plugin. Thank you!

Hi Clayton.

Thank you for your reply. I am sorry I am just seeing it now. I am new to all of this, and in the throes of the beginning struggles and learning curve, I had not quite organized everything (including forums) as tightly as I now have it.

Since this post, I have figured out nearly everything regarding my host, FTP, etc. I think I now know (mostly) what I am doing! ?? Man that hurt. Oh, and I found the codex–wish I had known about that weeks ago! My site is nearly complete. Yay!

Thanks again and Cheers!

Hi Puzich. Thanks for helping me. I still have not gotten this to work, but will come back to it and try again after I get a couple of other things up–like my content! ?? I’ll let you know how it goes and donate if & when I manage to get it up and running. It is an elegant little feature. Cheers!

Ok, I have done another install. This time as a direct upload instead of the automatic install through WP. And, my folders and files are all as they should be, and the scriptalocous and prototype files are also there, where they should be.

So, Puzich, the last thing is– can you please tell me where in the code I should place this: <?php wp_head(); ?>

If this last attempt does not work, I am going to give up ??

I hope it works!!!

Best wishes,
S.

Hi Puzich! Thanks so much for responding.

I have actually downloaded-installed-uninstalled a total of 5 times. I also always went into the host to assure all files were deleted before installing again. So, if the scriptalicious files are there, then something else is wrong.

Maybe I need to change hosts. But in the meantime, it should be ok to upload the Lightview files individually and then put them into folders I create called js, css, and images, yes? If the answer is yes, then something else is wrong.

I have been to your site, I have read all the literature out there about this. Something is still not working. Are you able to provide a bit more assistance? If not, I will move on and forget the plug-in. I would love to use it, but 2-1/2 days spent trying seems like enough.

Thanks so much and best wishes!

Hi Puzich! Happy New Year!

Well, I have spent one full day trying to install Lightview Plus, have read all of the help reports I could find online, and now I must ask for your help! I hope you will be generous with it ??

— I am getting a 404 error when I click the LV-P embedd button on edit posts/pages.

— I HAVE uploaded the Lightview folders: css, js and images to my Lightview-Plus folder on the host. ** My host would not allow me to upload the folders directly, so I uploaded the individual contents and then created folders on the host with the same names and put the contents back into them.

— I HAVE uploaded the scriptalocous files, because there were none in the LV-P download folder: ***These are currently not in folders on the host. They are single files currently in my top-level Lightview-plus folder along with the Lightview-plus js, php and popup.php files.

So, my current host folder directory looks like this:

ROOT
WP-CONTENT
WP-PLUGINS
Lightview-plus
>> (lightview folders): js, css, images
>> (scriptalocous files): prototype.js, scriptaculous.js,
builder.js, effects.js, dragdrop.js, slider.js,
controls.js
>> (lightview-plus files): lightview-plus.js, lightview-
plus.php, lightview-plus-popup.php

— My LV-P General Settings are set to: no, no, yes, yes, yes

— I have NOT included this is my theme head <?php wp_head(); ?>, because I just don’t know how to do that. Do I do this in the WordPress Appearance editor?

Please, Puzich–I would appreciate some assistance, and I will donate to all the plug-in authors whose products I have used once my site is complete. Thank you so much and viel Spass!

Well, the cpanel at my host does not look straight forward. Perhaps just reinstalling WP from scratch might be better? I only have a few days invested in the set-up so far, although I hate to lose any days in a lifetime as short as ours!

Aushh, thank you. I am not sure what the cPanel is or how to use it, but I am en route to Google to find out. Thanks again!
