Thanks TexasBiz!

Hi taropaa,

Thanks for the question. The current shortcodes are listed in the readme.txt file of the plugin and currently include:

[ic_do_testimonials] – Adds a testimonial, Defaults to three testimonials.

[ic_do_testimonials group=’my-created-group’] – Adds testimonials from a custom group. Defaults to three testimonials.

[ic_do_testimonials quantity=’5′] – changes default quantity to 5.

Hope that helps.

Eric

Howdy kpelham,

Technically, no. Currently this plugin just creates a custom sidebar widget area for each page on which you’d like one.

The idea with “Add to sidebar rather than replace” is this:

• When you check the box to add a page-specific sidebar, the plugin automatically creates a corresponding widget area under Appearance/Widgets.
• If you check the “Add to sidebar rather than replace” box, what should happen, is that whatever widgets you add to the newly-created corresponding widget area (again under Appearance/Widgets) will appear in addition to the existing sidebar.

Make sense?

If you want to have one sidebar that you apply to many pages, you might consider creating a custom template for the pages on which you’d like the common sidebar.

For example, if you had an About page on your site and you have three sub-pages like:

• About

• Staff
• Directions
• Our Mission

. . . and you want them all to share a common sidebar, you could create a custom page template for your About page that calls in a specific sidebar.

Make sense?

Seriously cool comment, Tegan. Thanks!

We use Roots quite a bit and will work on making this plugin work automatically without having to do anything special.

Cheers!

Hi globalreporter,

Currently, this plugin is tailored for pages only and doesn’t work for posts, categories, or other non-page content.

We may look at adding this feature in the future, but your specific request is a different; you’re asking about hiding the sidebar, which is another feature altogether.

We hadn’t planned on adding a hide sidebar feature, but will discuss it.

You could do this via CSS or, better yet, by adding some Conditional Tags.

Cheers and thanks for the question!

Eric

Quite welcome, Glyn. Cheers!

Hi jczarniak,

Thanks for using our plugin!

I’m not sure how comfortable you are with the template side of WordPress, but the current way to do this is to follow these steps:

1. Copy the posts_loop_template.php file to your theme directory.
2. Edit the file to your specifications
3. (optional) – change the name of the file to one of your choosing
4. (optional – dependent on 3) in the shortcode add template=”new_template_name.php”

When you updated WordPress did you also update your Theme? I can’t easily test your theme out because it is a premium theme. However, I can try to walk you through a few things:

1. Go to Appearance->Widgets in the WordPress Dashboard.
2. This Step may require FF or Chrome – Right click on the Home or Primary Sidebar (whatever your default is) and select “Inspect Element”
3. There will be an H3 element with the Primary Sidebar Name within. Directly proceeding it will be a DIV element with an ID. Copy down that ID. (see example here)
4. Go to Settings->Page Sidebar Settings
5. Copy the ID from Step 3 into the Text Field labeled Primary Sidebar Slug

If you are using IE, you might just View the Page Source and manually find the H3 Element with the name you are looking for. Alternatively, if you know the Theme’s code well, you can find where the primary sidebars are being initiated and get the name from there.

If you’ve already done all of this, I apologize. I’m just starting with the basics in case this was missed. I hope this helps, and hopefully solves it, but if not, We can certainly try something else.

GlynT,

I updated WordPress to 3.4 and tested it out and there doesn’t seem to be any problems on my end.

Did you happen to change themes? Are the settings on the settings page still there? It is possible, I guess, for them to get wiped on an update.

Hopefully we can get down to the bottom of this for you,

Hello udotorg,

Alchymyth provided the link for me, but another option is the readme.txt file. The other_notes page is a bit unstyled, which we are working on cleaning up, but the readme text is easier to read. You can either download the plugin and read it, or access it through Plugins->Editor and select the posts in page plugin from the dropdown in the upper(ish) right corner of the page.

We are planning on adding a Help Page for this plugin, and is in the works to be rolled out next, which should be soon.

Hello GlynT,

We’ll update this to work with the newest version of WordPress this week. Sooner rather than later!

Thanks for reporting this.

Howdy Travis,

We ran into this issue again and, when it rears its ugly head, it actually will not let the user checkout because of the error.

Is there any chance that you can incorporate this fix into your code ASAP, so we don’t have to worry and test future upgrades?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Johnny,

No, I haven’t experienced that. You might make sure that the character you’re string replacing matches what you have set as the breadcrumb separator and that you haven’t included extra spaces.

Holler if you get stuck.

Hey Johnny,

As you can see, Daniel, our developer came up with a lovely solution. I’ve tried it out in one of our sites-in-development and ended up making a few tweaks to the code so that it works flawlessly with Bootstrap.

Follow Daniel’s steps above, but in #3, try this code:

<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
            $breadcrumbs = yoast_breadcrumb( '<ul class="breadcrumb"><li>', '</li></ul>', false );
            echo str_replace( '|', ' <span class="divider">/</span></li><li>', $breadcrumbs );
        } ?>

You’ll see that we’ve made the following changes:

1. changed the ul class to be ‘breadcrumb’ so it matches Bootstrap’s pre-made classes
2. Add the span with a class of “divider” for the slash

Regarding automatically putting the class “active” on the final breadcrumb, I’d probably just target this using CSS :last-child. It’s got pretty broad support among modern browsers now, although I don’t think IE8 supports it:

Hope that helps!

Hey Johnny,

I have the exact same question and will ask our developer to take a look tomorrow and see if he can find a clue. Otherwise, I think we’ll try to write ‘Yoast’ and see if he can give us a clue.

I’ll let you know what I find out.

Cheers,
Eric
