does anyone have any idea why my plugins fail to update in 4.2.2 ? Hostgator says it’s not their fault, that the plugins are timing out. “Reviewing a system call the issue is that connecting to the remote server is timing out. This is something that we can not assist with. As we did several tests and each time the plugins time out however the theme scan be updated without issue.”

No idea where to go from here. Someone please help!

doesn’t anyone have this same issue?

Thanks for the help songdogtech. I actually didn’t pay for the theme directly. I hired someone to make the site for me. So they paid for the theme. I already alerted him to the issues and I’m sure he will look into it. I just thought maybe you guys would see something that could fix the issue quickly and I could take care of it.

Thanks guys. I don’t know exactly what happened but about an hour or so after the problem began it vanished and the page now loads correctly. I didn’t get a chance to activate anything etc. So I don’t know but I’m glad the problem wasn’t just me. I made the mistake of doing a bunch of updates at the same time and not one at a time so by the time I checked to make sure everything was ok I had a myriad of suspects…kind of like a game of clue. Thanks for the help though.

in Internet explorer on both of my computers the home page only has little to no css. I have a screen shot but don’t know where to post it to show you. All other pages show up fine. If I click on a category it looks normal. (like golf clubs or irons etc.) But the main page is messed up. I’ll post an image in my golf forum here so you can see what i”m seeing… Thanks!

Problem only on main page it seems. Help! Thanks!

nevermind. Got it. Deactivated the WP supercache plugin. Activated it and all ok.

Worked! Thank you!

Worked Great! Thanks so much.

I also wrote to “Datafeedr”, who provides the datafeed for the products displayed on the page. (supposed to be above this table I’m creating.) and they wrote this back about the “problem”..

Datafeedr replaces all content of the page. So if you add text or images or anything to the “store” page content area, it will be replaced with the store.

To get around that, you will need to create a template file just for your store and add what you want directly to the template file.

More info on that:

Ok, here is what is happening. I’m kinda getting it to work, and it is working in preview mode. But once I upload and visit the page the data feed is the only thing there. I’m thinking the datafeed is loading over the images bar?

Here’s what the Html looks like:

<div class=”row-fluid”>
<div class=”span3″><img class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-291″ src=”https://saveongolf.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/hotlist120small.jpg&#8221; alt=”hotlist120small” width=”120″ height=”160″ /></div>
<div class=”span3″><img class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-293″ src=”https://saveongolf.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/drivers120small.jpg&#8221; alt=”drivers120small” width=”120″ height=”160″ /></div>
<div class=”span3″><img class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-294″ src=”https://saveongolf.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/irons120small.jpg&#8221; alt=”irons120small” width=”120″ height=”160″ /></div>
<div class=”span3″><img class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-295″ src=”https://saveongolf.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/putters120small.jpg&#8221; alt=”putters120small” width=”120″ height=”160″ /></div>
</div>
<!– .row-fluid –>

I need 3 rows. How do I add additional rows…or does it do it automatically?

Is there a rule of thumb(nail..ha!)to use on what size to make the images? Is larger better? I thought I would make them the exact size needed and go from there. I have no idea how wide the table needs to be. But I want it to be similar in size to the data feed above it with the products. I may have to search datafeedr to find out what size that is? Maybe trial and error will be the only way to figure this out?

Great! I’ve got some images to create now!
One last thing. What controls the width of the table? Since it’s fluid do I control that just by the size of the images?

THANK YOU!!!!

That might just work! Could I ask a couple of what are probably basic questions before I dive in?
1. Can I make the images go to a URL within the site rather than to an image?

2. This part I don’t get:

Replace these images with images from your site. For each image:
Delete the [caption align= … [/caption] part of the html;
Put your cursor where you have just deleted;
Click the “Add Media” button (just above the editor buttons in your page edit screen).
Repeat for each image.

I don’t really see that in the code shown for the row of images. Not sure exactly what I’m deleting. I’m sure he abbreviated what to delete as it’s obvious, but I’m a little lost.

That worked! Thanks very much!
