I can confirm that this is happening since the latest update.
Unofortunately, I wasn’t able to recover the form in the Editor – after Attempt Block Recovery there is the message:

“This Block has encountered an error and can not be previewed.”

(I have also the Pro extension Version 1.4.33 installed.)

Thank you!

It seems that the problems are coming from the confused WPML String Translation module.
Apparently not all the fields left over by the previous Fusion Builder were removed.
So the problem was particular to this case, Kadence and EC are working together with no problems on a different installation.

Thank you Ben for looking into this!

Hi Ben, thanks for dropping by!

I have a single Venue under Venues, with content in all the “Venue Information” fields.

Don’t know what other info you may need, I am new to Events Calendar, it was used a lot on this site.
It started to happen the same with Posts, can not to save because “The _EventVenueID property…”
When I draft the Venue the things (seem) to work, and the problem definitely returns when I publish the Venue again.

But when you wrote you can not reproduce, I tried myself, and could not as well.
I just tested with Kadence 1.0.26 and Events Calendar 5.8.0 on another site, and all seems to work as it should.
I am trying to upgrade an old website built on a FusionBuilder theme, so probably something specific.
I removed the builder and all the orphan shortcode and upgraded everything, but the problem is still there.
I am looking into the WPML settings now.

So not really sure anymore if it is a Kadence vs EC issue.
Will do more tests and update here soon.
Thanks!

I am still not sure where the difference in entry meta order between these installations came from.

But it is solved for the time being with this CSS:

.wp-show-posts-entry-meta {
display: flex;
}

.wp-show-posts-posted-on {
padding: 0px;
order: 2;
}

.wp-show-posts-byline {
order: -1;
padding-right: 10px;
}

Thank you for the great plugin!

Hi Colleen,

I am just a Show Posts user, it’s a great plugin, but it is not something to write posts with.

Let me try to explain:

WP Show Posts (WPSP) is NOT the Post Editor, and you don’t write your posts in it.
It can display the LIST OF POSTS in various different ways in different places on your website.
In this way you are not limited to what your theme offers regarding how it displays posts on Blog page or in archives.

You can show your lists of posts wherever you like, and you get to chose how many posts you want to display, from which category/tag they come, if you will include images and excerpts or not, and pretty much all the other details.

So you write your posts the usual way, using the WordPress post editor.
Then you create WPSP lists to display the LIST OF POSTS as described above.

The best explanation would probably be the video here:

https://wpshowposts.com

There is a short and clear guide how WPSP works with WordPress and popular page builders here:

Hope this helps!

Hi Elvin,

one of the items was indeed set to “Below Post”, and the Example No 1 is now inline, thanks!

But now the date comes before author, as a difference form the Example No 2, where it is the other way around (this I think should be the default WPSP order).

How can I reorder so that it is Author / Date?

Thanks!

P.S.
Re: the precedence, you’re probably right as I have another WPSP list in the CSS, will sort that out.

Sure!

I have the two different examples, and struggle to find the difference.

Example 1 (the one I need help with):
https://dev.masina.rs/post-sa-svim-elementima-za-test

Example 2 (where it works as I want it):
https://qpress.tech/off-canvas-test-page

I have the two additional questions:

1. The Example 1 outputs “post-meta-stack” class, while the Example 2 outputs “post-meta-inline” class.
From where the difference comes from, and how can I control it?
The settings for both lists should be identical.

2. In the Example 2, some CSS (e.g. “text-align:left;” doesn’t fire from the Simple CSS box below the editor, but works from Customizer.
Any idea why?

Thanks!

Indeed, there is something odd going on with this plugin.
I gave up on it on the previous project as there been more than a month staring at “webservice” message and I had to use a different approach.

I gave it a go again on a new project, using a different theme, and now experienced a new “bug”, to say, though I am not really sure what is happening: the progress bar never, ever, finishes the run. After a while it decides to hang somewhere.

Oddly, when you refresh the page after, say, 96% it gets completely reset, and there is still the exact same number of unoptimized images, so whatever it allegedly did until 96% defaults to “zero”. It has been like this for a week or so now.

The first problem, “webservice”, occurred with WP 5.5.2 and GeneratePress; the new one, “hanging progress bar”, is with WP 5.0.11 and Hueman. The server is the same, and works quite OK as far as I can say.

It would be really great to hear from the reSmush.it people.
I am waiting for any response for months now.
Besides the “issue with API now resolved” message from November, they seem to have stopped responding a while ago.
The last time they used Twitter seems to be in September.
Hope everybody is healthy and safe there.

Thanks nK, good news!
Just gave it a go, works great.
Thanks for this nice plugin once again,
cheers,
vlidi

…to bump this up a bit, for three weeks now.
I still see these 11 images as non optimized, and an “error occurs” each and every time after the progress bar finishes the run.

Is part of a problem that it is a staging site?
Is your server working now?

Thanks!

Hey nK, thanks!

Unfortunately, I can’t make it work, and my fault I guess.

The CSS you have sent doesn’t trigger anything (tried in GK Custom CSS block section, general GK CSS & JavaScript tab and in the main CSS sheet).

Tried also to declare it as global variable in GK CSS & JavaScript tab like this:

:root {
–gkt-progress__transition-duration: 2s;
}

…and then to call it from the main CSS with this:

.ghostkit-progress {
transition-duration: var(–2s);
}

Surely I am doing something wrong.
Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks again!

Sorry, the fix is not working. It simply cuts off the rest of the YouTube playlist URL and only displays the first video as a single item embed.
I am trying now to modify this plugin I have used before Velocity to manipulate the thumbnail images of the video embed (it has no problems with playlists as it doesn’t use shortcodes). But it would be so much better and easier if only Velocity could work. So once again:

THE PROBLEM: YouTube playlists are not working because the [&] character in the plugin-generated shortcode gets saved as HTML entity [&] in the Shortcode or HTML block.

Any ideas? Thanks!

There is a way around this. It took me some time to understand what was happening.

THE PROBLEM:

YouTube provides the ‘list’ parameter with [&] following the video ID [id=”VIDEO_ID&list=PLAYLIST_ID]
The plugin-generated shortcode saves the ampersand [&] as entity [&], and YouTube will return the error instead of playlist.

THE FIX:

Replace the ampersand character [&] with quotation mark [?] manually in the plugin-generated shortcode.

THE PERMANENT SOLUTION:

I found some perhaps useful stuff HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Once again, thanks for the great plugin!
