Well, it works with block as well. It was the target that I adjusted.

Still have an issue with it though. The small images that regularly are aligned left or right for some reason don’t “embed” in the text — instead, they are “to the left” but the text just displays underneath them.

Got it. It was

.wp-caption {
width: auto;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto; display:inline;
}

Thanks for the idea. I just modified it.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work.

The theme is in development on a “theme testdrive”, so there isn’t really a way to show it.

Hi, when will the fix be ready for an update problem, please?

I think you probably understand the issue. The plugin now adds a div with an id of “attachment_99999” to each image, and that div has its own width and doesn’t behave like the images would otherwise. (You can manually strip the id name from each image, but who wants to do that for 10,000 images or however many you have?)

So your images all have like this now:

<div id="attachment_12220" style="width: 160px;" class="wp-caption alignleft">
<a href="thumb.jpg" rel="lightbox[12218]"><img class="wp-image-12220 size-full lazy-loaded" src="http:/thumb.jpg" data-src="http:/thumb.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="172"></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> caption </p>
</div>

Could someone please let us know a general ETA for this fix please? or a temporary fix we can implement ourselves in the meantime?

Thanks

I’m saying that the constant changes in updates force all users to have to deal with the burden of making fixes every time. It’s a real burden. It can also cause breaks, which are serious problems for some sites.

Whose talking about “ALL of your problems”? Every WordPress user including me couldn’t possibly list all their problems.

You’re calling a dedicated WordPress user, who’s learned the code, written themes, invested in plugins, a troll and say they’re “mooching”? Because they let you know how their experience of WordPress is and there are some negative things to it?

That’s what I was expecting @mikon82. This is called feedback. This is the user experience, which a smart organization uses to guage how its users are feeling about its products/services and be more successful moving forward. Then there’s people who just say, “If you don’t like how we do things, go somewhere else.” Great community spirit.

It is theoretically free, but in effect there is a substantial cost because you have to invest hours of time and energy in trying to find fixes with most updates, plus when things break it can cause very significant problems that can interrupt or harm business, which can be costly in dollars, time, and reputation.

WordPress is free to use in some ways, but WordPress is a profitable company:

What I’m talking about isn’t that the problems can’t be fixed. It’s the burden of having to fix things every time WordPress updates (changes itself)

That doesn’t actually help much, because once a user installs a plugin, and WordPress updates, and suddenly their plugin causes a break or doesn’t work anymore, it doesn’t help that you remove it from the codex for those people (although of course it does for people who don’t have the plugin yet, but that seems besides the point).

The great thing about WordPress is we get plugins. WordPress basically is plugins (that lots of people make for free for WordPress). But because WordPress’s updates conflict with the plugins (which were written to work with WordPress — but then WordPress changes this), it becomes more of a burden to use WordPress.

Today again, the recent update caused one of my plugins to no longer work. It worked fine for the last 6 months or so, and now it doesn’t. Yeah, the plugin author isn’t updating it, but you can’t say it’s his fault. He wrote a plugin that worked great on WordPress, but then WordPress changed itself and his plugin doesn’t work anymore.

So now all the things on hundreds of posts on my site that depended on that plugin have a fault. And I have to figure out some elaborate way to fix this, just because you guys changed your code again, making all the hard work people have put into plugins, and writing websites based on plugins, a liability.

Please figure out some code so that people don’t have to keep rewriting / fixing their site just to continue to use WordPress.

Thanks everyone. From Local Fame’s tip off, I went into Facebook’s debugger and then added

<meta property=”og:title” content=”<?php the_title(); ?>” />

to my <head>

This fixed it. If anyone coming across this sees any errors this might cause or issues with it, though, please let me know.

Thanks again

There isn’t one in the header.php

Thanks

That’s just a dev site on Godaddy. The thing its doing is only on this one site though — none of the others, and its new.

Just clicking “Clear cache” from the WordPress top horizontal menu

I don’t have any plugins that deal with cache on that site. There are only a couple of plugins active, and none should do anything with cache

Yes, I understand that the plugins aren’t updated, and that causes issues. However, there are thousands, and its known they aren’t updated. But WordPress is used because of plugins. It seems then that updates should be made so they don’t suddenly conflict with plugins that aren’t updated.

Yes, I updated last time, because I was on a different server (not WordPress managed). I like updating always, but like to be there when it happens, to fix any problems immediately. If an update happens when I’m asleep, and my site is broken for hours, it can cause significant problems.

Yes, it is the hosting company that does it. But there’s no way to stop them or have them notify of when it will happen.

For this reason, backing up doesn’t really help. I am backed up (manually and on the server) and use ftp daily for my sites, but if I’m not online and it just happens, backing up won’t help.
