I came up with a solution. I switched the sorting to html-num, and used an invisible html character ­ in the cells I wanted at the end.

Probably still a good idea to figure out why 01,02,03,04 are undefined.

Okay, so I found the datatables sorting plug-in, which seems to work. However, how do I set it so blank cells show up last instead of first. I tried using an x assuming x would sort after numbers, but it did not.

It needs to be UTF-8 and quoted text.

Ocean Extra also took down my site today.

Thank you, I’ll fix those. That’s what happens when you decide to hand code a few links to save time.

Hmmm. I published the post and it’s still missing the Javascript features. There are no colspan or rowspan keywords. I now see you said it should show up in the page preview, but it did not. Here’s the post: https://bloodandfrogs.com/2022/02/an-ultra-orthdox-view-of-jewish-names.html Any idea what is going on?

@hissy If you want a queue system and didn’t want to wait for WP to add it, I see there are a few libraries out there:

https://github.com/woocommerce/action-scheduler
(this one seems to be actively developed by Automattic)

https://github.com/deliciousbrains/wp-queue
(an intro to that library: https://deliciousbrains.com/email-queue-ses/)

https://github.com/withinboredom/wp-queue
(this was created by a current employee of Automattic, but hasn’t been updated recently)

What I love about this plugin is that as long as I format the CSV properly, I don’t need to do anything when importing, like assigning fields, etc. As long as I include the ID in a field, it updates existing posts/pages, and creates new ones.

It seems like this is a missing feature from the plugin. I wanted to check the API ey since I’m getting the weird CSRF Token error, but there’s no way to do that from within the plugin. Very odd no to allow you to at least replace it.

Thank you. I’m not clear how to do this. If I use the taxonomy shortcode it says it will show me the taxonomy, but it doesn’t display anything. Can you share an example on how to use languages in CCS?

I’m also having problems with editing anything as one of my languages is RTL and when the page is set to that language, Polylang is switching the block editor to RTL as well, making my code impossible to edit. Any idea how to fix this?

I do see that Polylang is affecting the display of the posts being output by CCS, but if I want to display multiple languages in the results, how do I do that?

I would love to see the plugin updated, but that’s up to @miyarakira to do. I know people have offered money in the past, but nothing happened. I’ve donated in the past directly, but never got any kind of response. It would be nice to know if the plugin fully supports the current version of PHP (there seems to be some indication that the [note] shortcode might not be, based on another post here. Of course, it would be nice if it was eventually updated to support PHP 8, which WordPress is moving towards, and eventually CCS will need to support. The only real feature change I would be interested in seeing, is support for Gutenberg blocks. Even a simple CCS block that contained CCS code would be useful. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve created CCS code and have the editor say there were problems, and offer to ‘fix it’ or convert it to HTML. I primarily use the shortcode block now, but it still has issues.

Maybe we should look into a fundraising platform (that doesn’t take the money until the end of the campaign), get lots of people in here to give what they want, and then maybe Eliot will take the final amount as a payment to update the software. As mentioned, I’d like the following goals:

– Upgrade to support PHP 8 (to insure it doesn’t break in the future)
– Gutenberg block support

Anyone know of a good fundraising platform that won’t take the money from people until the money is ready to be withdrawn? This would make it easier for use to get donations before we get Eliot to agree. On the other hand, if Eliot reads this and agrees in principle, we can just use any fundraising tool, even if it takes the money up front (like GoFundMe).

@peterpolow Support for Gutenberg would be nice…

I’d also like to see some kind of commitment for the plugin. There have been two-year gaps between updates in the past. Certainly there should be concern about PHP 8 support, and supporting the changes in WP that are being made in 5.6 to support PHP 8.

I and others have suggested having a paid tier for the plugin to help cover supporting it, but Eliot (@miyarakira) has never responded concerning this idea (at least that I’ve seen). I assume he isn’t interested in making a commitment, and as long as it continues to work, he’s not investing time into it (only enough to keep it working). Taking it on commercially would probably interfere with his current job. Frankly I’m okay with that as long as it gets updated when it needs to, but I’m not running commercial sites using it, so it’s not as critical to me.

Well, before I disable my whole site to test, I simply deactivated Jetpack, and tried again, and the Customizer worked. Certainly it’s possible another plugin is causing problems in conjunction with Jetpack, but that may be Jetpack’s fault as much as the other plugin, no?

@bruceallen Any other ideas?
