Hi Joy

Thanks, we will review this. For now we are using the plugin Enhanced Media Library which works internally in WordPress to allow Categories, however it wont change the external links.

They may work together though (as EML will not change the actual store structure)

Found the answer, it works in basic, however on the server i was testing the widget did not show up. I am using another server and the widget is showing up now (in the basic version of Elementor).

Hi Steve

I would like to professionally disagree with you here, and site what happened with washing machines in North America (USA and Canada).

All washing machines sold in North America (a few years ago) that were made outside of North America had “quick connect” hoses, and states “take hope and have running in 10 minutes” (idental to the “Famous 5-Minute Installation”). However these hoses had 25mm connections, the WORLD STANDARD for “large diameter” threads and were metric, North America uses imperial 1 inch (25.4mm)…. there was a back lash, non of the machines worked without some major adapter (the home owner didnt have).

Not only were the machines not “take home and have running in 10 minutes” they were never going to work as not compatible with any house water supply outlet in North America (abit like WordPress recommending a version of PHP that doesnt have a required connection method USED IN WORDPRESS.

Using your logic thats the home owners issue for now having a non standard house? or MAY BE as i put forward, they (the manufacture) should have put a warning on the machine (as they then had to) “please make sure you have imperial 1 inch to metric 25mm water adapters (which later at least Bosch did).

What i am saying here is clearly WordPress is using a command NOT IN PHP7, so a warning should be carried on there prerequisites page “please make sure you enable MySQL functionality in your install of PHP7 as its been removed by factory …..” with possibly some link to show how its done.

UPDATE

Ive managed to get this working (thanks Steve), below are what i changed from a vanilla install of PHP7

– Make sure you have a php.ini file (which you will need to get ANY PHP scripts working, so the assumption is that works but you get the SQL connection issue above).
– Open php.ini and change / add the below (this is for Windows with Apache)
: extension_dir = “C:\Program Files\INTERNET\php\ext” [this is my example on my server]
: extension=mysqli
: extension=pdo_mysql

The above has fixed the first setup issue of the SQL error listed in the subject title. I have more issues with the database now but thats not for this thread.

The issue appears to be most of the fixes found on the internet are for linux and not Windows.

Hi Steve

I’ll look in to this in about 30 mins. My point of the post was WordPress says load PHP7.2, there is no mention of “when you use PHP 7.2 we are using commands it no longer supports so it wont work, go fix it yourself, not our problem”.

Dont you agree?

Theirs a whole slew of information on the internet about this (everyone else bumping in to the same issue). Clearly they should not be advising PHP 7.2 as there is no connector in that build that works with WordPress…

Hi, if you mean using the popup window direct from a menu, this is what i am trying to do.

I can get the page up, but its the “page” not a pop up… need help.

Selecting POPUPS from the settings diesnt fix it.

UPDATE

It appears to work but the thumbnail never changes, however the media in the store is replaced (any thumbnails for it are still the original file).

Hi

Using this on GODADDY, seen the same issue, its really annoying.
