ingenuity

I tried to do the upload with the basic uploader rather than the Flash uploader and the problem did not recur. So it is definitely the Flash uploader that has the bug.

Andy, I’ve encountered a problem with the plugin. Hope you can please tell me what I may have done to cause it. I had had 705 Subscribers in my WP database (along with 5 admins and 1 editor). After backing up the database (for safekeeping), I delete all subscribers, leaving 6 users. Then I set up a test .csv that had first name, last name, user name, email address. It took a very long time to import the short list of just 10 users, but it said it was successful. But no subscribers were added to the user list.

One thing that concerned me: The WordPress User screen displays:
username, name, email, role.

How do first name and last name fields get combined into the name field?

FYI, since our members were accustomed to using their email addresses for their IDs and only one universal (non-customized) password, we added the field in the csv for the user name to match the email address and the field for the password to contain the universal password.

Would having had separate fields for firstname and lastname have caused the users to not be properly imported?

Thanks for your help!

Andy, Thank for the reply. Up until now, members have had a very simple password and all used the same password (I know, that is lousy security). As I would prefer to not hard code PHP, I think we could insert a field into the FMP database, put that password in each record, export from FMP to XLS, rename it as .csv, import that using your plugin–and then encourage the members to change their passwords to something more secure using WordPress. If there is a better approach, I would welcome your guidance. Thank you.

I’m looking for that too.

Thank you. I’ve posted to the forum you suggested and, meanwhile, posted instructions to search by typing in only the first 4 characters (clumsy, but it should work).

Thank you for the fast response. I’m hoping to get some help for the custom function.

I have another unrelated question / possible bug, I’ll post as a new topic.

Would you please share the answer to the question #2 about resizing the image?

I just answered this in another thread. Here’s what I wrote:

I figured out the answer to this question about nextgen-gallery with much digging. You will need some familiarity with CSS to change the colors. I’ll try to describe in detail what I did.

First, in the wordpress admin area, go to Gallery/Style. on that page, look for line 60 and change
background-color:#ffffff;
to
background-color:#ffd2ad; or whatever hex color you want. That Style editor has a hex color tool you can use to figure out your choices.
This will change the color of the background around the albums.

Then look in the same line 143 and make the same edit. This will change the color of the background around the albums.

Lastly, find wp-includes/js/thickbox/thickbox.css (I had to FTP it from the server to my local drive, edit it with Dreamweaver and then send it back to the server) and edit line 49 to change the hex code.

While doing the above, I looked for–but could not find–a way to make the opacity of the overlay darker so less of the screen would show around the edges of the NGG gallery. I found on line 34 of thickbox.css this code, but changing the opacity from 75 to 95 didn’t make any difference.

.TB_overlayBG {
      background-color:#000;
      -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=75)";
      filter:alpha(opacity=75);
      -moz-opacity: 0.75;
      opacity: 0.75;
      }

HTH!

I found the solutio to my own question about how to get rid of the imagerotator.swf path error message. It was nicely explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJmav9yMq3w

I’m having the same problem as above:

The path to imagerotator.swf is not defined, the slideshow will not work.
If you would like to use the JW Image Rotatator, please download the player here and upload it to your Upload folder (Default is wp-content/uploads).

But I followed David Rabe’s response and made sure my path was correct.
https://66.147.240.158/~sculptu3/wp-content/uploads/imagerotator.swf
In a browser, that screen is black, but back in the WP dashboard, under Gallery/Options/General, I still have this error message.

I’m having a tough time styling the text widget so there are no bullets. The URL is https://bodyjoy.org/blog

I have edited the stylesheet with

.textwidget li {
        list-style-type: none;
        list-style: none;

}

and many variations of it including

.widget widget_text li {
        list-style-type: none;
        list-style: none;

}

#text-113273631 .widget .widget_text li {
        list-style-type: none;
        list-style: none;

}

Can you please guide me on what I should do differently? I’d also like the spacing to match the spacing of the submenus lower on the left nav.

TIA!!!

I found the answer with help from Jeff Howdyshell of WordPressMax.com (a very knowlegeable and helpful fellow!). There is a designated Event Calendar category. It can be modified in Options/Event Calendar. It must have originally been set to “Comments about the film” and when I renamed that category Scheduled Screenings, it became the Event Calendar Category.

I followed Jeff’s instructions and changed the Event Calendar category to Screenings of the Film, which it should have been from the start, and I deleted the extraneous Scheduled Screenings category.
