Excellent. Nice job finding this one – it was giving me fits.

Any thoughts on if this is just the uploads placeholder, or if it’s any placeholder in the custom file list?

I’m seeing this too. When you go into a newsletter draft and attempt to edit a text area, or a post you’ve pulled into the newsletter, the editable area simply disappears and won’t come back until you refresh the page. This renders the newsletter uneditable.

I updated Edit Flow to 0.8 just yesterday and immediately encountered this issue.

For anyone who happens to come across this thread, here’s the code I finally used to make the widget display on any child of category X.

cat_is_ancestor_of(
get_cat_ID(“CATEGORY X”),
$GLOBALS[“cat”]
)

Unfortunately that didn’t seem to do the trick either. If it helps to see one of the sub categories, here it is:

https://www.stthomas.edu/news/category/publications/st-thomas-magazine/2012-spring/

You’ll note that the parent is st-thomas-magazine and the sub in this case is 2012-spring. If everything works right, there should be a “St. Thomas Magazine” logo that appears in the upper right corner in a widgetized area.

I appreciate the help.

I did. I can actually see the columns of the viewable metadata, it’s just not sortable (gray headers instead of blue).

Hi Daniel,

I’ve installed the latest update but am not actually seeing the ability to sort by my metadata columns. This is via Posts Menu>All Posts.

Any thoughts?

Just a follow-up in case anyone runs across this. One of our developers implemented this fix – it was indeed the theme causing the issue.

I’ve also run into this problem. A solution from the plugin devs would be greatly appreciated.

Okay that was it. I can contact my theme designer, but if you have any info I should pass along as to what they should be looking for that would be great.

EDIT: The theme, btw, is mag.press from obox design

I have deactivated all plugins except for “Simple LDAP login” and have confirmed that this is not the source of the issue as that plugin is active on another site I admin with edit flow and I have no problems with that calendar.

Is it possible this could be an issue with my theme?

I can get you a screen shot shortly but I’m the site admin and am editing the calendar in that role. The links for the stories are blue and I can drag them but the calendar squares won’t turn yellow and allow the stories to “land.”
