Melpomene

Strangely enough, it just tweeted one of the few posts scheduled that didn’t involve an image. There looks like being a connection between a picture and its failure to tweet

Well I’ve sent them a ticket as requested, albeit themeisle don’t always make the support function particulartly easy to find (nice big button would be helpful) so at least the link provided here helped. I do recall the last time this happened though, it took over a week to resolve as I became the subject of a game of pass the parcel.

I’m pretty certain they don’t cover weekeneds however, so I expect it’ll be mOnday at the earliest now

Tried to mark it resolved but it told me to “slow down I’m moving too fast” – I feel better now, no one has ever accussed me of that before!

Well suitably assured that ctrl +f5 wouldn’t cause me to lose any settings, I felt obliged to give it a whirl. Suffice to say, it seems to have worked (funny old things these computers aren’t they!)

That’s the exact functionality I lost WebmasterT

So are you saying that clearing the browser cahce won’t work when this functionality is what has been lost? If I do it, do I lose all the saved passwords and everything else?

Is deleting Yoast the better solution? and then trying to reinstall an old version (not sure I know how to do that)

Or is simply a case of pressing Ctrl + F5 and hoping for the best

Thanks James

I tried returning to the thread to post an update, but you got to it first, as I don’t like wasting people’s time when something has happened.

Suffice to say (and I don’t why or how) the functionality has returned. I haven’t done anything to it. It simply came back?

I’m mildly fearful that there might be wider weakness and the issue won’t repeat, but for now at least I’m just putting it down to …. well I haven’t got a clue in truth

I’ve sent you the information previously (twice now) complete with the error logs, and you’ve systematically ignored it. I could even understand if you sent me an email back saying that you were still looking into it, but after 2 weeks you haven’t even managed this. You have sent me an email about comparing different hosting packages though

I think it’s all sorted out now thanks, or at least I’ve got it rigged up and working how I wanted it. Sadly I lack the expertise to tell you precisely what’s happened, so bear with me. So far as I can establish, the tabby tags I’d used were coded correctly. However, there were unclosed font tags elsewhere in the script with some table tags. When tabby met these it broke down. It was probably that it started to display verdana 2 that gave the clue, but it lost it’s functionality. These particular font tags didn’t seem to be serving any function though, so I deleted them, and this restored Tabby. Incidentally, I did encounter a period where some of the bottom of a page remained permanently displayed as if acting as a sticky item underneath the content that the tab was displaying. This has obviously gone now, but it struck me as being quite a good feature. In my case for instance, it could be used to have the forward navigation of the booking process permanently on a page and quite visible without being intrusive and chasing the user around the screen as some of the annoying modern ones do. I don’t know if this is a feature that exists and I’d inadvertantly activated it, or whether I caused it to display some selected content like this, but it actually struck me as being quite good!

Ah ha… found it (I think) half way through the script there is a seemingly erroneous font tag unclosed in a table. I’ve simply deleted this and not only did it restore the font in the tab, it appears to have restored the functionality too. The next question (and I’m optimistic now) is will be allowed to use 12 tabs to break the page into manageable chunks? If I can, then I’ll mark it as resolved and will happily encourage others to use your plug in by way of endorsement, although I have very little money, I ought to make a contribution to this one as I think it’s very good

The other thing I should have mentioned, (which must be significant) is that this isn’t necessarily a font issue, but a functionality issue. Clicking on the final tab simply doesn’t return you to anywhere other than an empty white page

Many thanks.

That’s what I thought, but there’s no tags or attributes surrounding it. In fact it’s just the same as all the others because they were copied and pasted and all I did was alter the text. It also seems to be a feature that if I deleted it, the property then transfers to the next one in line. There is a closing font tag ahead of it, so I don’t believe it’s picking up an unclosed tag from somewhere else in the script, but I’m also thinking that’s the only explanation. I’ll go through every tag looking for a corresponding closing tag but I’m sure if there was an open font tag somewhere it would have been picked up elsewhere in the displayed text. It also appears that I can’t have more than 10 tabs (or that’s the most I’ve managed to acheive without it simply refusing to acknowledge the existance of the latest one I introduce). The problem does seem to be confined to the second row. There is a bit of me wondering if there isn’t a theme / plug-in conflict somewhere?

Well I ripped all the code out for the table and simply entered images as normal using the add image function. It looks reasonably ugly in truth, but I think that owes something to the theme (twentythirteen) and also that we’re using pretty dry graphs. I quite like the idea of having the graphs expand however at the users discretion as this saves have one massive scroll down. The only problem I’ve got with the plug in is that the navigation arrows simply don’t work (in fact I’ve never seen them display yet). I can’t see that there’s anything in the set up I need to box check to get them, so I kind of assumed they’d come as part of the set up once it was installed (as the demo shows) but they don’t appear to be there?

Right, it transpires I had images inside of a table, and that must have been the issue, for once I removed all the table coding they expanded, albeit they look a bit ugly now for having lost their frame. I suppose they will look moderately ugly though regardless, as the subject matter doesn’t help (I mean, how can you make Excel charts look anything other than?). The theme I’m using needn’t help but it’s designed for trying to transfer info on a hand held device with minimum clutter

The only thing that doesn’t seem to work now is the arrow back and forward slider, which I’m assuming is a setting. To some extent I’ve achieved a similar level of functionality by coding a tab, but it’s still easier to arrow forward than flick between tabs I reckon

Well I’ve tried re-entering 6 new images in a gallery table, but sadly it doesn’t seem to have made much difference. The images have gone in at a height of 300 px, but clicking them doesn’t cause anything to expand. Come to think of it, the lightbox doesn’t work either.

The originals were cut out at full screen size on my PC which normally comes in at something like 1200×800 so should expand, but there’s just no action there at all

Urm…

Thanks for that, let me play about with it

I think what’s probably happened is that I’ve assumed the image fills out to the size specified in the height settings. So to clarify, how it actually works is as follows?

1: Enter a display height in the plug in
2: Save all images as normal at the size you want them to expand
3: Put them into wordpress as normal using the ‘add media’ button
4: In effect the height control feature in the plug is a ‘master sizing tool’ to control what size the images display at until they’re clicked on, at which point the image that is clicked on will expand to the size that you save it at?
