In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] Fatal Error on HomepageThanks for reaching out on a separate post. Same issue. Renamed the file and it seems to work fine. Will monitor and report if there is any change.
Thanks for the help. Good luck with the issue.

In reply to: [OPML Importer] OPML Importer v.02 FailsAhh, when I removed this line, it got part of the way through.
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
The new error is:
XML error: XML_ERR_NAME_REQUIRED at line 16
I can’t see anything unusual about line 16. It’s just one feed of 9 that precede it.
Also, I think the OPML import function only supports OPML Version 1.0 and Feedly is generating Version 2.0. I suspect V2.0 accepts multiple Outline tokens.
I did an export of my current links to see the format.
Feedly is not generating the “category” & “title” token properly. It treats categories as just another rss feed. (I’ve noted this on the Feedly support page. This new OPML service is only days old as of this writing.)
I’m not sure how WP handles multiple imported category tags anyway, though it generates one “blogroll” (my category tag) tagged outline token at the start of the list. I could imagine having to create link categories that match the Feedly categories, but I’d rather WP took care of that task.
Just more fodder.

In reply to: [OPML Importer] OPML Importer v.02 FailsTrying to use the new Feedly https://cloud.feedly.com/#opml option to extract my feeds into my blogroll.
I get the same result whether I use the URL or download the OPML to a text file and upload. Nothing uploads.
Error is:
XML error: Not well-formed (invalid token) at line 3
The token is <head>, which I removed in the text file and it still failed to upload. Same error, though, for <body>. Tried removing it (and it’s / pair). No joy. Same error against <outline> token. I stopped trying.
Anyone have a similar challenge?
OK, I played a bit longer.
On my server (godaddy), /html is the top level directory. This directory houses my wp-admin, wp-content, etc. folders. Essentially, as noted in the readme.txt.
In that same directory, I created an “mm” folder.
My shortcode is: [freemind file=”../mm/map.mm” /]
The key thing is that I changed the name of the file from a long thing with special characters (including underscores and an ampersand, “&”) to just “map.mm”.
Problem solved.
I experimented a bit with names on the site and shortcode references.
Filename | Reference | Result
map.mm | map.mm | works
m&ap.mm | m&ap.mm | “undefined” bubble (a first time for me)
m&ap.mm | m&&ap.mm | “undefined” bubble
m&ap.mm | m/&ap.mm | “undefined” bubble
m-ap.mm | m-ap.mm | works
map.mm | map.mm | works againI don’t suspect there is an overall character limitation, but ampersands definitely seem to upset the file name parser. Not being a Unix/Linux expert (but knowing enough to be dangerous), I can only guess. [If someone can offer a parsing string that avoids this problem, I’m sure it will be welcome.]
Also, for reference, I’ve used the “mm” folder name throughout this experiment.
Give it another try and holler back if it works or not. I suspect it will.
So in the end, this does exactly what it should do, provide a browser of a standard mm file. It’s not complex or pretty, but it gets the job done. Now that we’ve hopefully resolved the directory/filename issue, I suspect this plugin to get much more use.
As I’d stated earlier, the developer uses it on his own website (which has been updated recently with a project mm file).
Agree. Completely unsupported plugin. If others can post their shortcode, perhaps I can figure out where to drop the folder/file so it can be found. The author is using this plugin, so at least he’s figured it out. If others have sites that are using this, please share. We’d all like to learn. jb

In reply to: Can't change the width of video in sidebar widgetWhen I tried this, I got a bunch of whitespace after the video caption. Not an improvement.
Same issue here. I guess there is no support for this widget. Pity, because except for this change, I’m quite happy with it.

In reply to: [Reliable Twitter] [Plugin: Reliable Twitter] Tweets not loadingJust a thought. Does JetPack interfere at all?

Works perfectly. Thanks a heap.
