Thank you. With a little luck, a bunch of help and a little more time, I should have it ready before we leave for Nationals on Wednesday.

I have shared using the social share function in the theme, but also by sharing the page link in FB. I get the same result either way with the team page, however the player roster page does pick up the featured image if I post with the word press sharing feature in the theme or when directly adding the link in facebook.

I believe I listed the link for the player page incorrectly in my last request post.

This is the page that works….

Thanks Mark.

I think the image issue on the player gallery may have had to do with the amount of text in one of the fields. I was able fix it by shortening the text. I’ll open another thread for the sort issue.

Thank you.

Also,

Gallery layout is not lining up clean. It’s leaving space between player images. See email I sent you.

Correct. I edited with the the crop function in WordPress and it was fine. What you suggested was going to be my next step. I load a square image separate from the big image that you saw on the player page.

I have also run in to two other issues:
1. Sort by number doesn’t seem to working on the roster page.
I’m using this shortcode: [mstw-tr-roster team=2016pilipaa15-1 roster_type=’custom’ show_photos=0 show_title=1 sort_order = ‘numeric’]

Here’s the page:
https://pilipaa.com/2016-pilipaa-girls-to-compete-in-43rd-aau-volleyball-national-championships/

It looks like it sorting by last name.

I uploaded the original images in a 2:3 ratio similar to the big picture that you see on the player profile. I edited the thumbnail to a 1:1 ratio so that it was size proportionately at 150×150 pixels. It was working properly yesterday.
I deactivated plugins this morning to trouble shoot another issue. I noticed this afternoon that the displayed images in my player gallery are now a squashed 2:3 image (notice logos on the bottom) rather than my edited 1:1 thumbnails. I tried to unattach the image and reload and edit the thumbnails to 1:1 again to no avail. It looks like the plugin is creating a thumbnail from my master image (2:3) rather than using the 1:1 thumbnail that I created.

If I change the top image to our team logo, will that be what is displayed in my player gallery? Those pics are now distorted too.

Mark,

I greatly appreciate thee assistance that you have provided for free. It has been a huge help. I purchased your Gold plan today to support your efforts. Should I move this thread to the support forum on your site? I resized my thumbnails to have a 1:1 ratio so the 150px x 150 px would work. It was working fine until this morning, but now the player gallery is pulling the original image 2:3 ratio and squashing it to 150 x 150.

Mark,
I’m using the gameday theme too and have lost my “featured image” function after loading your plugin. I love the roster plug-in function, but need the featured images to work as well.
I don’t understand the proposed fix listed about. Can you walk me through the set up step by step?

Does the mstw-team-rosters.php file need to be uploaded via ftp? What directory?

I figured out a few things from the last post and updating my theme fixed a few issues, however I’m still running in to a few issues:

Here is the roster that I get when I paste the shortcode in to a new page:
https://pilipaa.com/pilipaa-teams/2016-pilipaa-girls-15-1/

Here is the roster that I get when add the rosters by going to appearances>menu>MSTW Teams>Pilipaa 15-1
https://pilipaa.com/team/pilipaa15-1/

The sort function (by number) seems to work on the second one, but not the first. Also, is there shortcode that allows me to remove the pictures and just list the roster as the first listing doesn’t display well on a responsive site on iPhone or Android?

I added the roster by going to:
Appearance>MSTW>Pilipa’a15-1 which added the team to my Nav bar at the top of my site. When I clicked on the link, it opened a page with a big images of all of my players with their name listed below. I can’t seem to duplicate that issue today. When I add it to the menu, it is now a dead link.

The shortcode option seems to work, but I still have a couple of issues that I can’t resolve:

1. I can’t change the sort function. It is sorting by player last name only
2. I can’t remove the thumbnail from the roster page. The thumbnail is ok on the roster page on a website, but gets squashed and does not display properly on mobile.

When I add the roster using the menu function rather than short code, I get this page with seemingly no ability to control the layout:
