Thanks for the response, I was able to install the Header and Footer plus Pro Elements plugins, that allowed me to import the old header and footer that had been built in Elementor Pro, from the old site, now everything works.

Thanks for the reply and offer to help – I’m working in PhP in a WordPress environment – my experience with PhP goes back 20 years when I learned it to build a website – have not used it since.

I have over 50 years programming experience but only one in PhP and nothing in Python so that part of your code is a mystery to me.

I had ChatGPT write a routine but it is only the html structure and does not connect to my database comments – that’s the part I’m having issues with.

Here is the routine I’m starting with:

<?php

function generateNestedCommentsList($comments, $parent_id = null) {
    echo '<ul>';
    
    foreach ($comments as $comment) {
        if ($comment['parent_id'] == $parent_id) {
            echo '<li>';
            echo $comment['text'];

            // Recursively call the function for nested comments
            generateNestedCommentsList($comments, $comment['id']);

            echo '</li>';
        }
    }

    echo '</ul>';
}

// Example usage:
$comments = array(
    array('id' => 1, 'parent_id' => null, 'text' => 'Comment 1'),
    array('id' => 2, 'parent_id' => 1, 'text' => 'Reply to Comment 1'),
    array('id' => 3, 'parent_id' => null, 'text' => 'Comment 2'),
    array('id' => 4, 'parent_id' => 2, 'text' => 'Reply to Reply 1'),
    // Add more comments as needed
);

generateNestedCommentsList($comments);
?>

The structure works well, so any help will be appreciated - Thanks again.

Got it to work – thanks so much.

Josh – got everything working correctly.

Since the mezzanine slides had not worked, I didn’t notice that I had uploaded the wrong size images and they were a little smaller – fixed now.

Josh – thanks,

I changed the titles to the slugs but it didn’t help. I had used the titles on the old one too, and it has worked fine for 8 years.

To see what would happen, I changed the code on the left one – the patio-suite – to mezzanine as well – so both read the same.

Suddenly the mezzanine images started showing up in that one instead of the patio-suite images, but the right mezzanine code still displays the patio-suite images – so there was still something wrong with the right one.

Knowing that the code in the left one is correct since it switched slideshows, I cut-n-pasted that code into the right one and suddenly it started working correctly.

I changed the code in the left one back to patio-suite and now both are displaying correct slideshows – interesting.

Even though the Mezzanine slides are now displaying correctly they are not at 100% like the left one still is – at lease I broke the pattern and now have a different issue to fix – but I feel I’m making forward progress.

I know that when I’m using one of my programming languages, that I can fix bad acting code by just re-typing the exact same thing that was there – never could figure out why.

Josh – thanks, I usually can figure out these issues myself but have run into a wall on this one.

The setup and code is the exactly the same on both sites:

The original WordPress, non-Elementor, non responsive site that was built in 1995 and works perfectly is at: https://aroomwithaview.us/cms/rooms/.

The new WordPress, Elementor, responsive site, with the slides issue, is in the same domain, just a different folder – uses /dev/ instead of /cms/: https://aroomwithaview/dev/rooms/

The slideshow code is exactly the same on both sites: [meteor_slideshow slideshow=”Patio-Suite”] for the one on the left, and [meteor_slideshow slideshow=”Mezzanine”] for the one on the right. The right one is the one that duplicates the left slideshow on the new site, but works fine on the old.

Hope you have some insight on why – probably something simple that I’m overlooking but can’t figure it out.

TIA

Thanks for the response – my website is hosted for free with a friend who is not that technically smart, so I’ll need to follow this through to either do it myself or tell him how to do it.

I Googled “timeout in PHP-FPM” so now have a lot of information to go through but think I can get a handle on it and fix it.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of what the issue could be.

I purchased the Form Builder but find it lacking in customization, except for adding fields.

It only lets you edit Registration and Profile but not Login.

It also doesn’t allow for editing the text in the forms, size, content, color which I want to do – the default seems bland and needs updated – I would also like to use colored backgrounds in the login and register buttons but seems I can’t.

I was excited to buy the plugin but now feel that the price is too high for only the few customizations available.

Am I missing something?

I’ve deactivated it and don’t plan to use it.

Thanks for the reply – looking through the types of Partial or Section Protection I see they are all based on Logged In or Not.

What about one that is based on Registered or Not?

I know you can Log Out and leave the site while still Registered and return later and only have to Log In again.

But say you have been away from the site for awhile and when you return don’t know whether you have to Register again to Log In?

If there was a Partial or Section Protection for Registered you can hide the Registration Form and have a message display that you are already Registered and only have to Log In.

If you haven’t Logged out and return all the Protected Areas are displayed so you don’t have to worry about it.

Small detail but would clean up that potential area of confusion.

Thoughts?

Thank you for the reply – that Partial Protection looks like it will work just fine.

I also looked at all the other addons you offer – looks like I’ll have fun playing with some of them too.

So far your plugins are exactly what I’m looking for.

What advantage would I gain by getting the Pro version?

Thanks again for what you do in helping us.

Thanks – that worked – had named it something else like Member since I didn’t know it had to be named Free.

Why not make it radio buttons with Free as one choice instead of letting wackos like me in there with a blank field to do it elsewise.

So now I can register and login but need something to log into.

My next step is hiding content – I’ll play around with it but sure to have questions.

I have a separate page for each topic containing comment and replies for that topic, that the general public can see, but a hidden submit form at the bottom.

Those that are not logged in can see the comments and replies but the submit form is hidden or inactive until logged in.

Not a question yet but if you have some of your marvelous suggestions or tips on how to do that – I’ll listen carefully.

Thanks again – I’m liking your plugin more and more.

Thanks for the reply,

I already had a new registration page designed, so added the shortcode and changed the URL to the new page – named it “membership-join/membership-registration2/” to keep it simple – updated the URL in settings but when I go there it’s still the same default page and says:

Error! Failed to retrieve membership level ID from the membership info object.

I had set the ID to 10 – funny, couldn’t set it to less than 10, it stayed blank when I tried to save it.

Now what?

Also, I’m watchin one of your YouTube Videos about “How do I create a login and registration page for free in WordPress?”

Notice it says “free?”

But in the video you are working on a PRO version, which shows things that are not “free” – stuff you can’t get in the free versions – maybe on purpose to get watchers to “buy up?”

Probably legal but on the verge of misrepresentation – I believe “bait and switch” is illegal.

You can’t title it the way you have and not deliver.

Thanks Patrick – so why is that?

It’s not covered in the documentation and I think it’s a big deal – the way it’s set up everybody that registers for the Members Group will have access to my WordPress login and admin.

That’s not what I want.

That also explains why the registration activation ends up with my browser at my WordPress Login Page.

Guess this plugin is not for what I’m trying to do.

I read up on the plugin and nowhere could I find what the registration is actually for – kind of misleading unless I’m blind in one eye and can’t see out of the other – which is possible.

Thanks for the reply – after I posted I did several Google searches with the correct context, always the key, and found almost what I wanted.

A WP plugin named “Fatal Error Notify” – more than I expected to find.

It sends an email when errors are thrown; these are the ones that are selectable:

E_ERROR
E_WARNING
E_PARSE
E_NOTICE
E_CORE_ERROR
E_CORE_WARNING
E_COMPILE_ERROR
E_COMPILE_WARNING
E_USER_ERROR
E_USER_WARNING
E_USER_NOTICE
E_STRICT
E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR
E_DEPRECATED
E_USER_DEPRECATED

I checked them all to start to see what happens.

As soon as I installed, it sent me an email notify that my debugger was turned on in my wp-config file – I was in there working a couple of days ago and forgot to turn it off when I was done.

Now I’m waiting to see what else I screwed up. ??

Thanks again.
