In reply to: [Fancy Header Slider] [Plugin: Fancy Header Slider] how do i make this work?!this is a great header plugin… the transition effects are gorgeous.
a couple issues i’m having, however…
a) when i change settings and click save… they default back to original… if i change nothing else and click save again, then my changes appear in the admin, but still nothing on live site…
i have found that if i make the changes and click save only once, that works despite the fact that the displayed settings are not what i wanted… HOWEVER… then i have to change them all AGAIN every time i save, or they revert to defaults. This is a little bit annoying.b) i cannot sort out how to make the slider actually fit in the size it says it is! it overrides with element:style and i can’t seem to fix that…
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Theme: Mystique] problem with submenus in Chrome Browserdid you ever find a solution to this? I’m finding similar issues, and wondering if it’s due to a new chrome rollout… sites were fine, and now we’re experiencing navigation issues that previously didn’t exist… and this is across a number of different themes
seems to ONLY be in chrome…
hi Tom – technically that’s not perfect, but i’m from the school where “it works” is perfect enough most of the time ??
better plan might be to make a new file – header-nobuttons.php (just save-as your original header.php)- and put the extra style in there, where it should be (before the wp_header hook)… then on your page-no-buttons.php use get_header(nobuttons)
a more expert coder might have better advice, but as far as i know, that approach would be more “correct”.
my interim solution has been to add new template for the pages i don’t want sharing on, and include the following extra style in the header
<style type="text/css"> div.mr_social_sharing_wrapper { display: none; } </style>
it’s not perfect, but it does the job for now.
someone with more skill could likely do it with conditional tags and custom fields…
but i didn’t have time to sort that out for this project.i need to do this too…. any suggestions would be appreciated.
ok… so… i’m obviously overlooking something obvious…
got the shortcode… but where do i create these fabled forms? all i see is a basic mailchimp form with no way to customize it… i think i was expecting some kind of interface to actually create custom forms for custom purposes… did i lead myself astray?
+1 from me too…
that’s the only thing missing from this brilliant plugineven just a “sort order” option on each – like the wordpress posts – would do the trick… sometimes its just a matter of having to rearrange a couple. drag & drop is fancy, but ultimately, all we need is the ability to easily change the order when we mess up, or when the client changes their mind ??
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Posts won't publish I just get a blank pagei’d like in on this… i’m in a similar boat… have deactivated everything, numerous times… seems to be a theme issue, but outside of replacing (TEMPLATEPATH) with (get_template_directory()) i’m stumped.
i notice too, this theme the client chose doesn’t behave like it should as to using a child theme – it will NOT pull in the child header file, i’ve had to edit both parent & child files to get things how i want them (perhaps that’s simply my lack of skill)… tho i doubt there’s much chance of a parent theme upgrade…
anyone know of any other ways to test plugins? i’m using plugins that i use regularly on plenty of other sites and not had this problem…
i’ve been having a similiar problem…
first thought i fixed it – found some deprecated code in the theme that the client chose (TEMPLATEPATH) but then, working with it for a bit more, went to update a page and after hitting “update” got the blank page again…
so, did the plugin thing… (gettin’ real tired of that, btw) did the debug thing, not getting any joy… front end(public) side works fine… and if i use browser back button and go back a couple pages then refresh, changes seem to have been saved…happens when i reactivate a plugin too…
mystery. i’m only using 2 plugins that i don’t use on every other site – flexi pages widget and featured page widget – turned each off and still had the same experience.
losing money on this gig at this point… ?? too much time troubleshooting.would love some deeper insight as to what ELSE could cause these issues… i’ve got over 30 wordpress sites under my care right now, and never had this much trouble sorting out this particular problem.
can it have anything to do with server configuration???
or is it most likely an additional theme issue? is there a “how to update your old theme to wp 3.3.1” tutorial somewhere??? ??Forum: Installing WordPress

thanks for those tips. here’s the result:

now – i use ultimate-google-analytics, si-contact-form, and wp-google-fonts in combination on MANY sites, and haven’t had this problem before.
i removed the plugins, removed the header functions from my child theme functions.php… neither of those things made a difference – still get the blank wp-admin…
so… new install it is, i guess ??
thanks for the help.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Still blank pages after 3.3 upgradeok. i’ve got no clue…
done all the usual fixes… renamed/removed/reinstalled plugins & themes
checked the .htaccess and fiddled with all the various suggestions i found in the forums, basically, everything except a complete reinstall…is that really my only option??
i manage 30 other wordpress sites and never had this problem … usually the fixes above will solve the problem.
is there any chance it could have something to do with the THEME??? (even tho i removed the theme files & that didn’t help.)
i’m grasping here – can’t finish invoicing this client if they can’t access the darn admin!!!
any further suggestions welcome..
just in case anyone else goes thru the experience that i just did, i thought i’d share.
i’ve just taken over the maintenance of a site – had to upgrade the WP from 3.1 to 3.3.1… did the usual steps, backed up, deactivated plugins etc etc…
upgrade went fine, was previously using v 1.5.2 of this plugin… so updated to latest (1.7.1)… got the “Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/cybecom/cybe.com/wp-content/plugins/speakup-email-petitions/includes/public.php on line …” errors…panicked for a minute, afraid that was way over my head.
read the notes above…
decided to start by simply going to the existing petition i had and clicked the UPDATE PETITION button…
PROBLEM SOLVED.I was a bit apprehensive to remove the petition & start over, as I mentioned, this is a new client and didn’t want to risk losing their data or messing something up.
was VERY relieved when a simple :update’ button fixed my trouble.
wicked plugin, btw – thanks so much!

In reply to: MP3-JPlayer POP OUT mode? PLAY IN GROUPS mode?hi
i’m trying to use this plugin – generally it works nice & smoothly… however, what i’m finding is that if click the popout player, a) the window that opens is tiny, and b) when user changes pages, the widget-based player restarts and plays OVER the popout player, so we get a layered, duplicate sound…obviously we’d like to keep the autoplay option so the music starts upon arrival (it’s a band site, so it’s appropriate), and the popout player is exactly what we want, because it’s super annoying for the music to start over when changing pages…
any suggestions how we can fix these two small issues?
we’re using WP 3.3.oh, also, i’m having trouble with the CSS, the player controls bar in the widget is a bit out of whack (shows up fine in the popout, once the window is expanded to fit)… not sure WHY, but any insight would be appreciated.

thanks!

In reply to: [WP eCommerce] [Plugin: WP e-Commerce] Giving up on you, ecommerce.i’m new to wp-ecommerce – tryin to solve a problem for a new client… not convinced it’s solvable, as it seems getshopped.org doesn’t provide a ton of support.
hoping one of you recent posters might shed some light…
the client recently upgraded everything – theme, WP & wp-ecommerce – and all of a sudden the “checkout” button has stopped working. no errors or anything appear, it just doesn’t do ANYTHING.
would love some insights, cuz we’re getting nothing from getshopped.org

In reply to: [RB Internal Links] [Plugin: RB Internal Links] Use of deprecated functionshi – not sure where to post this… but i love RB External Links, and have run into a problem.
i get an error when trying to use it with a Genesis child theme, Lifestyle – Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead.
i love this plugin and install it as standard for my clients (and will make a donation soon)… haven’t run into this problem with any other themes, so far.
any ideas?
