It’s a private site so I can’t share a link, sorry.

Further to this, if I try and open the direct URL of the image, I get a 500 Internal Error. I’ve tried increasing the PHP memory limit, but that hasn’t done anything. The file isn’t anywhere near the size limit anyway.

This was a styling issue, modifying a theme style resolved the issue.

I also had to override the following plugin style to remove the bottom padding and better align the menu text: .menu-item a.menu-image-title-below.menu-image-not-hovered img,
.menu-item a.menu-image-hovered.menu-image-title-below .menu-image-hover-wrapper

Thank you, this worked!

Thanks Emerson, I will give this a try!

Hi, I’m using Chrome on Windows 8.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I’m confused about how to use style maps too. Do I just write them in the word document itself? They seem easy enough to write, just not sure how to go about doing it. This sounds like a great plugin, I look forward to using it. Thanks ??

I don’t like it either, I find it more clunky to use than the old method. I realise a lot of effort was put into trying to make this easier to use, and I don’t wish to overlook that, but I think more user testing needed to be done. Or something. This is a heavily used feature and it now makes an already crappy visual editor even harder to use. Here are some examples:

It took me ages to realise I had to click the arrow for the link to apply to the text, why can’t I just press Enter? I still keep making that mistake even now – that indicates poor design if the user keeps making the same mistake over and over.

Also, I liked having the recently created article list because I could just choose the page from the list, or I could search for “date” once and easily link to several different articles using that keyword – now I have to type in in each time or click the gear each time. It’s cumbersome to use and a backwards step, I’m afraid.

Even the location of the input box is awkward. You have to move your cursor to the editor’s toolbar, and then all the way back down again to your highlighted word. It’s just aggravating.

Overall, this update seems to be geared to people who don’t use their mouse and only make the occasional simple link. I suspect this is not the majority of the user base. It echoes the practice by companies like Microsoft and Apple to “dumb down” their products at the expense of more advanced users.

Thanks Noemi ??

Update: This is now suddenly a lot faster and after talking to our IT guy it appears backups may have been interfering. I’ll keep monitoring the timing and see if that is indeed impacting performance.

Thanks for the quick reply Noemi, sorry I was unable to respond earlier.

The reason I refreshed the browser is because it didn’t look like anything was happening. I’ve tried it again just now and realise that it takes about 30 seconds for the refresh to kick in, so it looks like it’s a performance issue. After the auto-refresh, the page has moved as expected. I currently have 239 pages and expect this to grow. We use WordPress as the platform for our knowledge base and use pages more than posts, so the site will get quite large.

For the feature requests:
1. Excellent, thank you ??
2. I would like to see everything that is available in the regular Quick Edit. I use this to make updates to the metadata when other authors fail to do so. So I use categories, tags, other custom properties (in my case version, product), allow comments. Other plugins also sometimes insert things here, which I’ve also found useful, in particular Exclude from Search.
3. Thanks!

Ah I see. Thanks you, yes this seems to work now. Thanks!

Hi lorro, thanks for your help!

I added your snippet to the custom CSS, plus added !important to the border-image style, and it works a treat. Thank you.

For the second problem, I meant to say that the image is blurry, not the caption. This is only an issue really because the images are often screenshots that contain text.

I’ll keep an eye on the validator, thanks for the link.

Thanks for the reply Webberzone, I look forward to the updates ??

OK I’ve figured out the styles thing, thank you. This is inching ever closer to 5 stars with the latest updates. The “display latest posts” checkbox on each post and page is a huge timesaver if you don’t want that post to display related posts. In a similar vein, I would like to see a similar option that allows you to exclude that post from appearing in related posts. This would be nice as I keep forgetting to add page IDs to the exclusion list in the plugin settings.
The other thing I would like to see is for the Manual Related Posts option, an option where you can supply say 1 post ID that you really want to include, and then have the CRP plugin automatically fill in the remaining related posts.
I’ve also figured out how to use Clear Cache (click when thumbnails are broken or you’ve changed the featured image) and Reindex (click when you want to refresh the related articles list).
Overall, one of my favourite plugins, thank you so much.

OK, thanks for the info ??
