Hey Mike

No – I have seen that feature thanks.

I’ve built a site for a client and who’s not particularly aware of all the little settings in WordPress. Any pages or posts that he creates, I’d like them to be SSL by default, as more often than not they will be in the logged in area that should be served via SSL.

So the public pages which I built are published and non-SSL. But now I’ve finished my work and he’s maintaining it, I was thinking it’d be ideal if the default setting for ‘Force SSL’ when creating new pages was ‘on’.

Perhaps it’s an edge case.

Thanks again Mike, keep up the great work.
Cheers

One question though – how much of a performance hit do you think this plugin would cause (which was my initial hesitation with using a plugin for such things – but I’m not going to go and rewrite all plugins so that the assets files are correct for WordPress installed in subdirectories and served over SSL!!!)? So thanks!

I still think this is wrong. The code should use a WordPress WP-Cron job, such as wp_schedule_event, to schedule the job rather than loading the php file every time. Among other things, on SSL sites, it means that a non-HTTPS file is loaded and thus the browser doesn’t consider the whole page to be secure.

It’s a great plugin otherwise, cheers.

Hmm, hopefully the author will chime in here.

Surprised it didn’t work in the root folder for you, not sure about that.

Out of interest, I’m using it in an SSL environment also, and had to edit numerous file paths so that ‘http’ was not hardcoded and thus pages with the form on it could be completely served via https (and not give the browser security warning). Seems there could be improvements in path handling, although I’m no expert on plugin authoring (yet)..!

To clarify: I can see the HTML to link/display it in the source code on the plugin settings page, but it has display:none set on it…

I had the same problem on my development environment (Windows XP, IIS virtual directory), but when I moved it to my live hosting server (Windows, IIS7, no virtual directory), it works fine.

Are you using a virtual/sub directory?

Another idea perhaps is the ability to add name value pairs for the different parameters of the Cycle plugin, to take advantage of the many other possible combinations.

I also think that one should be able to specify ‘alt’ tags for the images. I’ve actually modified the plugin myself to store the ‘alt’ tags as well which was pretty simple to do (let me know if you want the code).

Thanks again.

Hi Janecraft
In case you’re “still there”, can you be more specific about “turn off local mail delivery” as I believe I’ve got the same issue of emails not sending if it’s to the same domain – so I am hoping to find where and what the actual setting is called, and which OS such a setting is specific to? (Windows, Linux?)

Strangely, I’m administering a website hosted in Europe which needs to be on Vancouver Canada time, and using php.ini with the date.timezone setting recently stopped working (haven’t had time to nail down why), yet adding the setting in functions.php now makes the timezone correct again. FYI, putting it functions.php seems far preferable to me to putting it in wp-config.php, as it avoids adding non-standard settings/lines to core WordPress files, and thus helps avoid it being overwritten in future.

And also, after upgrade there are 2 ‘Theme My Login’ menus in the Dashboard ‘Settings’ menu.

Doh – the widget must be activated in the settings section.

BUT – confusing if you upgrade and are currently using the widget and then it disappears and stops working!

The problem of course is that the plugin requires your theme to have the <?php wp_footer(); ?> function in it, even though it is not stated anywhere in the plugin documentation. This function should most likely be called in your theme’s footer.php file, however it will depend on your theme. Just had the same problem myself, could not figure out why nothing was happening until I realised the JS Lightbox file was never being output in the source code for a page. Tracking the reason down identified that the JS is specified as needing to be output in the WP footer function, so obviously if this function isn’t there then the plugin won’t work.

Guess there’s more questions than answers on this forum.
Found many JQuery options around:

This’d be a good option for what I want too: https://mootools.net/forge/p/mgfx_tabs

I guess also needing it to pause on mouse-over, or having a pause button, might be asking to much eh!

Anyone know of any libraries that do it, and perhaps I could create a plugin myself?
