Thank you, Jon! What a swift response. I appreciate it.

I have a few more requests, and two bug reports. But first I must ask, is this an appropriate place for it? It works for me, but let me know if you would rather receive feedback elsewhere.

Bug 1: It seems the windowing has no effect; even with a window of 1 post, it still shows the whole series. Here is a post that is part of a longer series so you can see what I’m talking about: https://embrace-autism.com/covid-19-basic-information/

Bug 2: The link to the whole series has disappeared now. I tried checking and unchecking the option to include the link, but it hasn’t shown up since the v2.0 update.

And here are a few more requests:

Request 1: For the ‘This is part n of m’ template, can you add an option to have the m-number link to the whole series?

Request 2: Can you also include such an option for the series title? It might be nice to use this instead of the link below the listed posts, or to use it alongside it.

Request 3: This one takes a bit more to explain. Depending on the name of the series, I would like to include ‘the’ before it. If a series is called ‘On Earth’ for instance, then the second template works perfectly (i.e. This is part 1 of 3 in On Earth), although I think if ‘On Earth’ were a link to the whole series, it would be more clear to people that On Earth is indeed a series.

However, if I call the series “On Earth series”, which I am doing in most instances for the sake of clarity, then the title becomes “This is part 1 of 3 in On Earth series”, which is grammatically wrong with the omission of [the]. I would like it to say “This is part 1 of 3 in the On Earth series”, or alternatively “This is part 1 of 3 in the series entitled ‘On Earth’”.

So my request was initially going to be to include [the] depending on whether the series name ends with the word ‘series’. But on second thought, I think there are different formats people may want to consider, and it might be better to—depending on the format chosen—add the word ‘series’ after the proper series title, so the word doesn’t need to be an explicit part of the series name. Here are a few possible formats:
a. This is part 1 of 3 in On Earth
b. This is part 1 of 3 in ‘On Earth’
c. This is part 1 of 3 in the On Earth series
d. This is part 1 of 3 in the ‘On Earth’ series
e. This is part 1 of 3 in the series On Earth
f. This is part 1 of 3 in the series ‘On Earth’
g. This is part 1 of 3 in the series, On Earth
h. This is part 1 of 3 in the series, ‘On Earth’
i. This is part 1 of 3 in a series entitled On Earth
j. This is part 1 of 3 in a series entitled ‘On Earth’
k. This is part 1 of 3 in a series entitled, ‘On Earth’

I don’t think it’s needed to be able to choose from so many different formats though. But it would be nice if [the] is added when appropriate, and maybe we could have the option to put the series name in quotes or not.

Request 4: Could you put the series name in its own class, so I can target it with styling independently of the rest of the title?

Request 5: I don’t have a need for this now, but the need may come up at some point. What if I publish a post at a later point than the other posts in a series, but which needs to be number #2 in the series for instance? Right now, the only way to make the post into an earlier part of the series is to change the publishing date of the post itself, which is a hack I’m not comfortable with. It would be great if we could manually define the order of a series, or to be able to put that one particular post in a different place in the list.

Request 6: I don’t think I will personally ever need this feature, but I think it’s a good one to include. How about the option to sort a series alphabetically? That way, your plugin can be used to generate alphabetical indexes, thus broadening the potential use of your plugin.

Thank you for your consideration.

After using the plugin for a while, I realize there should be an option to remove the ‘View the entire series’ link if the listing already includes all posts in the series.

It’s arguably redundant to view the whole series of posts when they are already listed, although I can imagine there are also scenarios when one wishes to include the link.

And I noticed that the title automatically gets a H2 tag. Even though I made the title invisible with CSS, I’m using a table of contents plugin which identifies H2 tags to list them, but I don’t want it to list the title of your plugin. So it would be fantastic if I could have control over what tag the title uses.

I just thought of another feature that would be wonderful to include. Before using your plugin, I would manually include a description and link to the other parts of a series, stating something like, “This is part 1 of a 3-part series on…”.

It would be fantastic if you could include a variable like that, where the description can include a mention of which part of the series it is. That way, I may also choose to exclude an explicit listing of all the posts, and just include that description and a link to the series.

Update:

I used the following which worked like a charm:

add_filter( 'tablepress_print_name_html_tag', 'heymrdj27_tablepress_change_table_name_h2_to_h3', 10, 2 );
function heymrdj27_tablepress_change_table_name_h2_to_h3( $tag, $table_id ) {
  $tag = 'h5';
  return $tag;
}

Thanks! What do I do if I want to turn h2 tags into h5 though?

Having the option to change this within the plugin would still be a very welcome feature. As well as the option to surround the tables with divs; I would have preferred not to have to install an additional plugin for that.

I wasn’t talking about that section though. But I just realized why there seems to be some miscommunication, as I’m using a redirection extension for Contact Form 7 whereas I thought I was using vanilla CF7. So the tab and functionality I have been asking about come from this other plugin. My bad. Thanks for trying to help anyway, Erik.

Oh I see, it’s an extension for Contact Form 7 I’m using besides Contact Form 7. My bad.

You could have been more friendly in pointing this out, Takayuki. It isn’t me you should be showing this trademark violation to.

I’m not sure what you mean. I just used the redirect feature in Submission Actions.

But I just noticed that Contact Form 7 gives a warning when you want the redirection to open in a new tab, since many browsers block it. I don’t actually need the page to open in a new tab. Having turned that off, it’s working now!

Why do you keep mentioning ‘Reply-To’? I just see two input fields called To and From. I put [your-email] in To, and a specified email in From. But when I test the Submission Action, the mail that gets sent has my own address as the sender.

“Submission Actions
You can add actions that will be fired on submission. For details and support check official website.”

The ‘official website’ link goes to Redirection | Contact Form 7

I don’t know how to share a screenshot here, but I can assure you that I’m using Contact Form 7. On the same page with the Actions tab, I see the following shortcode:

[contact-form-7 id=”11236″ title=”Assessments form”]

I added two actions in the Actions panel. Contact Forms > Actions

No, I still get the same behavior. Besides, I want to use an email other than the site admin’s email.

I second this. I wanted to use RankMath’s schema so I have all SEO in one place, but it’s not very accessible to manually edit schema, and the automatic schema falls short.

Because of that, I stuck with WP SEO Structured Data Schema Pro. It’s a lot more useful to us. It would be great if Rank Math could do the same thing though.

Thanks! That fixed the issue.
