Maurixx – I think it is affected – looks like the main page in Italiano has a broken accordion. If you updated WordPress to 3.5.1 then it most surely is broken.

Just letting other readers know that Matt’s simple fix worked flawlessly for me and covers both vertical and horizontal accordions. Time to implement was under 3 minutes per website.

Here are deep-link URLS to two of the sites where I have implemented this:

Matt, thanks again!

Matt, thank you! Yes, I’ve been researching this as well, and will check out your blog. Thanks again for responding.

*Sigh* – yes, switching to the new native theme works. Wow, I hope this is not breaking a lot of themes, I’ll have a boatload of work to do.

Oh, and what I neglected to say above is that if you do want to use the recaptcha field, visit the “General Settings” of this plugin to add in your site-specific recaptcha keys. This is not obvious if you’re working heads-down on the page with all the tabs setting up your fields and forms.

Follow-up… First the checkboxes were not displaying because I was using them incorrectly. It’s not one checkbox per CCF field; the field defines a “checkbox grouping” of one or more checkboxes and the field options actually define the checkboxes. I like that a lot better anyway. ??

But the “Input error: k” thing is the result of using the recaptcha field; if you use the captcha field everything works just fine.

That’s a great idea. I haven’t yet hacked on getting the District of Columbia included – not quite sure yet how the “labels” tie into the image map. Maybe just create a tiny map for D.C.!

Overall, it’s a great plugin to have – graphical stuff like this is always useful.

This is a great tool! Thanks Shirazdrum. Here’s something to add to its use inside of a WordPress site:

You want to go to ONE specific page on your site and simply pass the name of the state to that page for processing. Here’s how…

1. Install/Activate “Cookie Monster” (CM) plugin for WordPress
2. Install/Activate “Peter’s Blog URL Shortcodes”
3. In the settings page for CM, set “URL Parameter 1” to “state”
4. Set the default and cookie duration for CM as you need.
5. Replace all the hrefs in Shirazdrum’s code as follows:
As shown, e.g.: href=”/wiki/Massachusetts”
Modify to be: href=”[blogurl]bystate/?state=Massachusetts” **
6. Create a new page with a slug called “bystate” **
7. In that page, the shortcode [state] is replaced by the state clicked on.
Example: You selected data for the U.S. State of [state].
Display: You selected data for the U.S. State of Massachusetts.

** This assumes that your WP Permalinks are set to “Post name” – if you use something else, modify the links accordingly.

RESOLVED – OK, I caused this problem, not the plugin. It was as simple and as subtle as a missing double quote mark in my div declaration. Now it is working JUST FINE as it always has! Still recommending this slider for images, and I am grateful that it’s working!!

OK, so I can answer my own objection here… To hack a fix, simply edit the plugin file “loc.php”, find the line of the timezone closest to the city that you want (in my previous example, “Brasilia”), copy that entire line and paste it into the alphabetically correct place where the NEW city will go, then change the name. In my case, I changed “Brasilia” of the pasted line to say “Abadiania” then used that as my “Places” and it works perfectly!

Matt – I see that you are the original author of Adventure Journal. Kudos – it’s an excellent and fun theme, very crisp and clean. Thank you for your contribution.

I got a bit more info on this – it appears that the allegedly “later” theme is branded as: Adventure Journal 2.0-wpcom by Contexture International while the “earlier” version is branded as Adventure Journal 1.7.2 by Contexture International.

A casual look at this indicates that somehow someone in the WordPress community is creating/releasing these “wpcom” themes, which may be someone’s idea of improving on the theme. I’m not clear on what a wpcom theme is.

The only one showing up from an “Install Theme” from the WP dashboard is 1.7.2. I can’t say if this 2.0 impostor is pre-loaded in the Dreamhost base themes, but I can tell you that my latest install of 1.7.2 was from a Dreamhost WP install, as was the 2.0 version. Now, it’s not clear to me if 2.0 snuck in there as a theme upgrade or not.

Hope this helps – I’d like to know what, if any, improvements that 2.0 was supposed to make; it sure doesn’t appear to be an improvement.

Really?! Fake?!? What is up with that?!! – So you don’t think that 2.0 is a legit version from Contexture? That’s highly annoying. Please re-post here when you find out what’s going on with that. Thanks!

OK, so here’s some more information – A friend of mine created the FB fan page that I was attempting to connect to. She made me an administrator with full permissions. I even created the FB app, no problem.

So instead, I set up an Admin login on the WP side and let HER do the authorization, and it worked.

Consequently, it appears that the root owner of the Facebook page/account that created the FAN page has to do the authorization from inside WP, and must be logged in to Facebook inside of the same browser (shared cookies for the session and all).

If you’re still having trouble even if you are the root page owner and you are logged in, then something else is still broken.

I hope that this might have you looking at some other things.

Awesome, thank you. None of this is a problem for using this great plugin, it was just a minor inconvenience. Very nice work.

UPDATE – It appears that this is occurring with many other widgets when Dynamic Widgets is installed and running.

THERE ARE TWO WORK-AROUNDS…

1. On the “Screen Options” tab on the Widgets admin page, click the “Enable Accessibility Mode” link – now the widget that’s collapsing can be edited in a separate screen.

2. (Easy) Just close-out the Widgets page by visiting the Dashboard or some other admin screen, when you come back to the Widgets page, the problem widget now works fine.
