Yes I will. Now IE11 was not doing well with some other plugins, which caused me to reinstall the app. That seemed to have solved some performing issues, at least this plugin is working fine now using IE11. Sorry for the upset.

Update:
Though this plugin is performing very well, there is however one minus: it is not working very well with IE 11, which is a still much used browser. Bear that in mind.

Hello,

I face the same problem. This JS is conflicting. As a developer you should know better!!!
I did report this issue earlier, but nothing seems to happen.

Please hurry up! I have to launch the site Friday next week.

I appreciate your help very much.

Thanks,
Felix

Hi,
Thank you for your quick reaction.

It was really premature to sound the alarm bell. Of course I’m testing on a local server with my laptop and inside the local network. I did the cleaning. Everything ok. Should have done this before.

Apologies!
Felix

Hi Lester,
Thank you for your superfast answer.
I applied the code and the button was gone.
You’re a champion,
Felix

By accident I preesed the visual editor tab and found the “word counter” at the bottom. Why isn’t it in the text editor as well. Can I make it appear there or if not, can I hide that text editor, so my users are happy to only use the visual editor with the counter.
Maybe a shortcode or a setting?

Hi Mahbubur,

Thank you for your quick response. Really appreciate that.

I could solve the problem.

Having all (11) plugins deactivated and deleted your plugin, then reinstalled your plugin, did some quick tests and saw the save button did work very well. Then making all plugins ative again, your plugin was still working fine.

Probably with the first install something went wrong.

Thank you

Felix

Hi Sven,

I did a test specifying the post_type for each type without any result. But it has to do with the ‘body’ (HTML), I’m pretty sure about that.

Felix

Hi Sven,
Yes you’re right, but the_content is made up of HTML and the pages invoked in that widgets are in fact HTML, so there is a call to that HTML, and we really don’t need that.
Here’s the simple code placed inside the widget;

<?php
    $args=array(
        'cat' => ('51'),
      	'post_type' =>  'any',
      	'showposts'=>1,
      	'ignore_sticky_posts'=>1
    	);

	$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
	if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
	while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
	<?php responsive_entry_before(); ?>
	<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
	  <?php responsive_entry_top(); ?>
	  <h6 class="post-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h6>
        <div class="post-entry"><?php the_content(); ?>
	</div>
	<?php endwhile;
    	}
	wp_reset_query();
?>
</div>

I hope this will help you.
Regards
Felix

Hi Sven,
Thanks for your quick reply! I just came back and saw your mail. Sorry for the delay.

No I did not use a plugin for the posts in widget. I constructed one myself. I used pages, not posts!

How do I upload the screenshot? Could not find a way in this place neither on your website.

Hi,

It’s the link provided on the WordPress repository of your plugin wp valid email: Mammothology.com.

Hi,
Thank you for your quick reply!
It was a false alarm, as I went back to the abundant options screen and discovered the box which did exactly that what I was looking for. So after enabling that option the page jumped back to the form and after reading the message the redirected page appeared. Great!

Apologies for the noise…!
Felix.

Hi Tom,
I’ve tested over hundred plugins and ended up with just 5 that really served. So what really matters talking about plugins, are 4 important cornerstones: 1. usability, 2. correct coding, no conflicts, 3. easy and quick styling and 4. active maintenance.
People rely on a good working plugin as they are often crucial to their websites. And than you are overloaded with “thank you” and… donations!!!

Looking to no.1 usability, we’re using a smartphone or a tablet and that means touching, touching and more touching. It has substituted the mouse click, the hover and the hover out. I hold my finger ready to touch a link, it keeps their to touch the same link and then that finger is directed to the following link. Easy, comfortable and fast. OK, if my finger is directed somewhere else on that little screen, it can close the panel by touching anywhere. Easy, comfortable and fast. Keep the touch!
In a modern menu bar you find buttons that opens a flyout menu or panel, just that and with a little arrow to indicate its working, and if no children exists, the button itself is a link to an URL. That’s useful and practical too.

About the widget’s behaviour I think the best way is what you suggested: to show the whole widget. Practical too: users can easily oversee what they’re doing and won’t forget to enter all fields. It is very frustrating to have things done twice ore more because of the unnecessary limitations of a plugin. Practical too should be adding an alert, down of the widget in the colorbox panel to the left or right side, showing a text like widget added as soon the user clicked the save button of the widget. Because right now nothing happens, no signs at all.

No, I’m not using a mac and that particular behaviour was not there before you did that famous JS cleaning! ??

Also very useful is an information tooltip to the right side of the “select a widget to display… field, telling about its use (the big tags, inserting more widgets). Because most of the downloads of your plugin are performed by users to be taken by the hand, few are developers!

Well, I hope my input and thoughts are helping you to sort things out. I’m sure this plugin will help many people in the next few weeks to enhance their websites with a smooth and shining menu bar!
Felix

Hi Tom,
I noticed that you’ve changed the name of the plugin. Short and powerful I think.

But… don’t take away its powers!
Since version 1.2 I encountered two bugs (Mega Panel).
Your JS clean up brought:
1. missing toggle functionality (clicking 2nd time on same link does not making slide up the panel)
2. “configure panel widgets for…”: inserting a larger widget, clicking the mouse button on the scroll bar to the right, makes the widget close and adhere toe the cursor as a draggable object. So you cannot save the widget. Scrolling with the mouswheel works.(try with Image Widget).

I’m missing an icon, font or image folder inside the plugin folder. Where can I upload my own icons or images as the ones in your plugin are too small.

In the plugin’s style sheet I found a rule: li.mega-menu-item {float: left;} which makes all items in the widgets float to the left side. I tried to neutralize float: none; in the custom editor, but didn’t work. Styling the widget should be easier.

More about the widget panel in the color box screen later.

I hope you will bring back the toggle function a.s.p. I’ll use it with much pleasure on my smartphone.

After restoring the bugs, please DON’T TOUCH THE JS FILE FORE A WHILE…….. ??
Felix

Hi,
I too forgot something! About the triangle. It is something like you see scrolling this page up and look to the buttonlink that says support. Just to give you an idea.
