Hi Sybre,
Thanks again for the updates. I agree, htaccess should be locked down where applicable, but we do actually need some things to write to htaccess for marketing, such as the SEO guy implementing redirects without technical know-how. Yes, we could implement an .rb file to dynamically write htaccess at the boot of EC2s, but I think it’s overkill for what we’re doing, especially when we could just use a plugin that isn’t the odd man out and overwrites htaccess.
However, I really appreciate you looking into this and acting so quickly about it. I’m going to download the new version and test it out. I’ll let you know how it looks and modify my review accordingly. ??
Thanks,
Lee
Sybre,
Thanks for your detailed response and information. While you describe this scenario as impossible, it is fact that GIT shows the file .htaccess as dirty only when enabling this plugin. I have installed other plugins just fine and WordPress is up to date without any issues.
I have tried this multiple times just to be sure, but if my GIT history is completely clean and up to date with remote, as soon as I enable The SEO Framework, my .htaccess file is dirty with GIT showing that all of my lines outside of the default WordPress .htaccess file are being removed. Therefore, I have to check it out again. When enabling this plugin and deploying to AWS, it wipes the remote htaccess file as well.
I understand what you are saying, but I feel there must be some reason why ONLY THIS PLUGIN is doing that. Even if Core WordPress is doing this when enabling your plugin, I think it’s still an issue with your plugin because WordPress just doesn’t do that with other plugins.

In reply to: major video upload problemsIt doesn’t look like that at all on my phone or my desktop via Vimeo. I will do it horizontally again but the only place it’s squished, to me, is on my blog.
Try turning your phone landscape. Is the video squished? If so, that’s how it looks natively.
The WordPress issue is why can’t I upload a video directly on to my site. I’m following the same path I use to upload photos but it won’t upload my videos. And this is what I paid for an upgrade to be able to do. This is a WordPress issue.
Are you getting an error? Like file size is too big? What’s happening here? I’m not sure what the upload size limit in PHP.ini is for wordpress.com, but probably not very large. I don’t know much about your plugin though or what it even is.
This is how it looks on Vimeo..nothing like how it came out on my blog or how my videos come out with youtube (which will also not allow me to upload now via my phone–NOT a wordpress issue but thought someone here might have an idea):
When I look at your Vimeo video, it is squished just like it is on your blog and on my phone…on my phone it actually looks normal when I hold it vertically which to me indicates that it was filmed vertically. Try filming horizontal, repeat your process and see if it is more of what you want.

In reply to: Exlude category using get_optiontry this line
'category__not_in' => array($bcat) );
and take it out of the array
'category__not_in' => $bcat );
Does that work for you?
And yes, I forgot a comma after the 1…it’s fixed in the above code.
You can also try adding this instead of //Do Nothing
$bcat = '';

In reply to: Add /'folder'/ directory in URL – WordPressCreate a category for your dropdowns only called dropdowns and add them to that category.
Then make sure your permalinks are set as /%category%/%postname%/

In reply to: Website Down due to Theme EditDo you know how to check your PHP error log on the server? Can you post what it says?
Also, can you FTP into your theme folder and rename the plugins folder to something like Plugins2 on the remote server. If that brings your site back, then you have a plugin that is causing an issue. Add them back one by one until you flatline again. Then you will know which one it is.

In reply to: Page Links ToThis will do what you want. It will output your posts with their featured images as thumbs to a div format. From there you can style it with CSS.
This particular code is designed to grab posts from a single parent. You could also use categories.
$postList = ""; $args = array( 'parent' => '1', 'sort_column' => 'ID', 'order' => 'ASC', 'posts_per_page' => '-1' ); $homePosts = get_pages( $args ); foreach ( $homePosts as $block ) { $customField = get_post_custom($block->ID); $link = get_permalink($block->ID); $title = get_post_field('post_title', $block->ID); $thumb = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($block->ID)); $postList .= sprintf( '<div class="item"><img src="%s" alt="%s" /><p><a href="%s">%s</a></p></div>', $thumb, $title, $link, $title); } echo $postList; ?>

In reply to: 500 Internal Sever ErrorSorry ?? DIdn’t mean to overwhelm you. I’d follow songdogtech’s advice and call GoDaddy. He’s right, they are the worst hosting company around. Do yourself a favor and get a better one.

In reply to: Fatal Error Message: Call to Undefined FunctionNope, if you don’t have server access, you’re not getting into the server short of breaking in.
You will need to call your hosting company or server admin and get access so you can download all of your files.
However, to your original post, disabling your gravity forms plugin should do the trick.

In reply to: Exlude category using get_option<?php if (!(is_page('home'))) { $bcat = 'mtn_blogcat'; } else { //Do Nothing } $args = array( 'category' => 1, 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'orderby' =>'title', 'order' =>'asc', 'category__not_in' => array($bcat) ); $posts = get_posts( $args ); ?>
I think that’s what you’re trying to do? To exclude the $bcat variable for pages that aren’t the home page? And I’m assuming your posts have multiple categories?

In reply to: Disabling Responsive DesignThe media queries are what is making the design responsive. Remove all of them and their contents completely except for the desktop sized one for the specific size you need. Then it will not be responsive anymore. Does that help? ??
