Issue identified … WP Featherlight sees to require wp-block-gallery class on the <figure> element in order to trigger.

Since the CPT from the plugin used to generate the page above doesn’t support Gutenberg, that class isn’t being added to the element.

If you’re running in to the same issue, see if that will resolve things.

@drofwarc2 We’ve been having the same intermittent issues with 2 of our client sites as well – both Canadian sites.

We were advised to switch settings to “No location by default” and thought the issue was resolved. Sadly, it’s cropped up again on these sites (we’re still pulling our hair out) and the issue has now been escalated to Woo help desk for resolution.

So sorry. I totally misread your explanation above. I’m back on track and have things working as expected.

Many apologies for any confusion or annoyance.

Sorry, I’m not explaining myself very well at all I think.

In the plugin, you have a templates folder with 2 files – a-z-listing.php and a-z-listing-multi-column.example.php. The a-z-listing.php file seems to indicate that if a theme requires a different layout to copy the file into the theme directory and adjust to suit the theme. I’m assuming that’s the same case with the a-z-listing-multi-column.example.php file.

So, I don’t want to execute the_a_z_listing() directly or execute the shortcode. I need the template in my theme to use the multi-column layout with a few other minor HTML customization.

Given that, I’m really not seeing a way to exclude a set of posts via the method you’ve described above. Is that the case? Is the only way to exclude a set of posts by using the_a_z_listing() or shortcode method?

Sorry, you lost me. Are you suggesting that something like this should work then?

<?php if ( ($a_z_query->have_items()) && ($a_z_query( array(‘post__not_in’ => array(1,2,3)) ) ) ) : ?>

I’ve tried a few options but not having any luck. I’m not using the_a_z_listing() in my template so not sure how to translate that to my template.

How would we go about doing this if we’re using the a-z-listing-multi-column.example template with version 1.0.0 of the plugin? Have been trying to hack a solution myself but no luck.

Hi James,

I’ve sent the theme files off to the email noted above. Appreciate you taking a look.

Hmm, maybe that’s where I went wrong. I’ve not built it as a child theme but as a separate theme. However, the mobile theme has it’s own header, style sheet, etc. Wouldn’t mind so much but it’s loading files that I’m not using in the mobile site – trying to keep load time in check.

This post is helpful https://seosunite.com/f2/mobile-versions-site-how-make-sure-doesnt-mess-up-search-engine-optimization-632/. Resolved via robots.txt. Haven’t tried myself yet so can’t vouch for its effectiveness.

Thanks for the detailed feedback Ken. At this stage, I think I’m leaning toward the Backup Buddy – prefer the idea of a full backup rather than just the DB.

Agree with you on the security of managewp.com. I’ve contacted them about their hosted solution – may be preferable from a security standpoint but need to know more.

Would like to hear from others who have tried any of these options.

@kenw3 I’ve created a new post here. Will check that post for your response.

Ken,

We’re in a very similar position – multiple client sites that require updating with each version release. Did you find a manageable solution? Was Backup Buddy helpful at all?

Multi site is not an option for us and we’re also looking to replace the Excel spreadsheet approach.
