Aah, I’m dumb, I’m using mediaelement.js in a super-simple way, so it was incredibly basic. Here’s my snippet, in case anybody has a similar problem (stash this at the bottom of your page, just before the </body> tag):

<script>
	$(function() {
   $.fn.almComplete = function(alm){
      $('audio').mediaelementplayer();
   };
})(jQuery);
</script>

Aah, thank you! Unfortunately I’m kind of a JS beginner can’t quite track how to do this.

As far as I can tell I need a snippet like this:

$(function() {
  $.fn.almComplete = function(alm){
    var base_url = 'https://myurl.com';
    $.getScript( base_url + "/wp-includes/js/media-audiovideo.min.js" );
  });
})(jQuery);

But the above doesn’t work. I’ve been trying to find a solution myself, but posts about this always assume a level of familiarity with the code that I just don’t have, so I’d really appreciate any pointers you can give!

Again, thank you!

I think I’ve found the problem! But I have no idea what to do about it.

One of my plugins is adding a very old version of jquery to the page, and that’s causing a conflict with the much newer version of jquery I’ve intentionally added. Unfortunately, that plugin is Powerpress.

Powerpress is currently slapping jquery 1.11.1 into my header, and as far as I can tell there’s no way to disable it or even force it to use a newer version. Google has been no help in diagnosing this issue. Anybody have any advice?

Aah, it is having the exact same problem. What does this mean? WordPress core issue? Plugin conflict?

I’ve been tinkering with this for a full day now, and the problem seems to be that Advanced Excerpt isn’t parsing my shortcode. Anybody have any advice regarding this?

I did not! But I’ve added that tag to the theme and it seems to be working. Thank you!

Ack, I had a total brainfart and forgot about template hierarchy.

In case anybody finds themselves in the same situation: just make a template file called attachment.php, WordPress will automatically use that file as a template for displaying your images.

Thanks! That’s exactly what I needed!

Thanks for telling me about the switch statement! Any chance you can be a little more specific? I can usually figure out how/why something works if I have a code snippet to look over.

I did take a look at the PHP.net manual, but it’s really unhelpful if you’re not already familiar with scripting languages. It might as well be cyrillic for all the sense it makes to me. :/

Have you considered using the nth-child css pseudo-class? It’s poorly supported by older browsers, but it lets you target divs based on the order in which they appear. It’s pretty easy to use.

Let’s say your form structure looks something like this:

<div id="contact">
<div>
<label></label>
<input />
</div>

<div>
<label></label>
<input />
</div>

<div>
<label></label>
<input />
</div>

</div>

Here’s the CSS you would add to your stylesheet to target the first div:

div#contact div:nth-child(1){
float:left;
}

That would make the div, and all its contents, float to the left of the container div. You can also use nth-child to target and position the label tags, like so:

div#contact div:nth-child(1) label{
float:left;
}

It’s not a perfect solution, and I agree that CCF should work hooks into the divs (and the labels, come to think of it), but it’ll get the job done at the moment.

Nevermind, this is just a case of RTFM on my part. Here’s my solution:

<?php $ari_date = new WP_Query( array( 'event-category' => 'cat-slug' , 'numberposts' => 1 ));
while ($ari_date->have_posts()) : $ari_date->the_post(); ?>

Similar question: Can I have multiple loops on the page and then set one loop to display only events from one event-category using WP Query?

Something like:

<?php $tourdate = new WP_Query('taxonomy=event&post_type=event&category_name=my-date&showposts=1'); while ($tourdate->have_posts()) : $tourdate->the_post(); ?>

or is that not possible?

Follow up on this. Seems to be an ajax issue. Disabling those elements solved most of the problems.

Yes! That was totally the issue. I knew it was something dumb and simple like this, but whenever I searched the Codex I just kept getting the Archive Page entry.

Thank you!
