I’ve noticed this issue myself and a fix for this will come with the next update, possibly as soon as this week. I’ll post here once the issue is resolved.

At the moment you can only delete the fontset, then add an entirely new one, but that is only a last resort.

For the record, I have tested and confirmed Fontsampler working with Woocommerce installations. The Fontsampler shortcodes can be used simply in the Product descriptions etc.

Lacking further feedback on the issue I assume this resolved, especially since this sounds very much like the fixed temporary bug caused by WP core 4.7.1-3.

In line with official PHP support the minimum required version of PHP for this plugin is 5.6

Wordpress itself has been proposed to move to PHP 7 exclusively, so I see no point in supporting versions lower than PHP 5.6 at this point.

Version 0.2.0 fixes this issue and is now available for download. Thanks again for reporting this ??

Okay, that does sound strange. I have to ask rather “stupid” questions to see at what point this fails, maybe there is something about your hosting provider or similar that causes an unexpected problem.

Now, if for some reason uploading the fonts fails it is exactly like you describe, in the “Fonts & Files” tab the entries don’t have a preview, and when editing a fontset the current files are empty.

Could you let me know what exactly happens when you try to create or edit a fontset. For example, download from here the “Webfont kit” and select only “Woff”. Unzip, then in the “Woff” field of a fontset, give the fontupload a name in and select one of the woff files from the extracted zip folder. When you press “Create” or “Update”, do you get any kind of message at the top of the page? The message (for success) should read something like:

Uploaded woff file: Roboto-Black-webfont.woff
Created fontset Roboto Black

If not, do you get a error message of any sort?

Also, do you know what version of PHP your server is running? (For example installing the “Version Info” plugin will print this information in the Admin area footer, like so: “You are running WordPress 4.7.2 | PHP 5.5.38-nmm2 | Apache | MySQL 5.5.52-nmm1-log”

I hope we can figure out what is going on here ??

Just in case you had a problem other users have reported as well, where WordPress wouldn’t allow uploading certain file types, Fontsampler does have a fix for this now implemented.

If this was indeed the case with you, please try updating Fontsampler.

Hey Sam,

great to see the plugin is useful to you! I’ve checked and can confirm iOS compatibility as follows:
– iOS 10 Safari: works
– iOS 10 Chrome: works
– iOS 8.1 Safari: breaks

I haven’t checked further at what iOS version after 8.1 this issue does not appear any more. Some preliminary investigation shows that one of the libraries the plugin is using “under the hood” throws a Javascript error in a module that helps identify what capabilities the webfont has. Since this fails, the Fontsampler never fully completes loading and stays in the transparent “loading” mode.

I’ve escalated this bug and opened an issue in the original library, which I might also attempt a fix for myself sometimes in the near future. I will post here once an issue resolves this in a new version of Fontsampler. Thanks again for pointing this out! iOS 8 is normally not on my testing routine, so it’s good to have this kind of user feedback.

In the meantime, while I don’t have a good temporary fix to make it work as intended, one thing you could do is display an image for users that the plugin does not load. I think for example a div wrapper with a background image around the [fontsampler id=XX] might work. Since the Fontsampler stays transparent on iOS8 the wrapper’s background image will show, while for other users the Fontsampler will load and become opaque, covering the background image. Hope this helps at least until a fix is available.

Cheers,
Johannes

v0.1.6 of the plugin has a workaround for this bug, that should prevent the error message until WordPress Core is fixed.

There seems to be one error related to a bug in WP core 4.7.1 and 4.7.2, but for that you’d usually get a error message.

When you try add a Font, does the entry get created and only the files are missing, or is the tab “Fonts & Files” completely empty?

Is there any more information you can provide? Do you get any error messages? What type of webfonts are you uploading?

Ah, I suppose this is too subtle. I didn’t even notice anything changed, but can confirm the “update icon” in the top bar has a drop down.

Maybe add a screenshot here showing where exactly this is. Also the plugin description “Adds a link to the toolbar that allows site admins to force WordPress to run a check for plugin updates” could mention that the “update icon” int he toolbar has a dropdown for force refreshing.

Hey Ahmet, can you provide some more information? What does not work, what have you tried so far, and how are you embedding the Fontsamplers on your page?

This “iinclude” plugin let’s you include any created Page in your template by handing it the ID of the Page you want to include.
So, on my Parentpage, I would want to include possible Childpages, meaning I would like to find the Subpages of the Page I am currently on.

If my Pages’ IDs and hierarchy were:

/mainPage ID1
/mainPage ID1/subpage ID4
/mainpage ID1/subpage ID5
/mainPage ID2
/mainPage ID3
/…

I would want to get a “4” (and possibly “5”) returned, when browsing mainPage with ID1.

A bit like “$post->ID”, but finding the current Pages children and not its own ID.

Any help greatly appreciated,
k.

thanks for making my day ??
