Well, interestingly if I put one of the other registered sidebars there, it shows fine. So I took one that was not used anywhere else and moved it to the header area. I’m still curious to find out why the theme’s original sidebar shows and my custom one doesn’t. The code in functions.php is exactly the same. There must be somewhere else in the theme that my custom sidebar needs to be activated…

Ok, good to know, thanks.

Thanks, I’ll check it out when I next run an update. I was on a tight schedule so I edited the plugin’s code instead… Not the proper way, but quicker!

OK thanks. But I presume after next update I will lose the override?

Thanks for the advice. I wouldn’t know where to start with the command line or with customizing plugins, but it was a good idea to install Regenerate Thumbnails. For one thing, it showed me all the sizes being generated and it turns out the majority of them weren’t being called by the theme, but by a plugin called Co-authors which uses gravatars. For some reason, instead of creating various sizes just for the gravatars, it was doing so for all uploaded images! The developers ought to be shot (metaphorically of course). So I disabled that and removed any unwanted sizes from the theme.
I am now using Regenerate Thumbnails to go through all images and remove any sizes no longer being used. This should reduce the number of files considerably, so even though they won’t be moved into sub-folders, I may be able to archive the Uploads directory, even if I go 1000 images at a time (there’s going to be about 15,000 after Regenerate Thumbnails has done its work, which will take a few hours).
I’ll report back!

Update: straight after my last post I tried Internet Explorer on a different machine, and the console there was showing a JS error I hadn’t seen before, caused by the Popup Maker plugin. I updated the plugin, and it looks like the Megamenu JS is loading properly now. Not sure why two different versions of the browser would have different consoles, but at least it’s fixed. Thanks.

Ok thanks, I think I’ll explain to the client that this can potentially be a lot of work to debug, as the site is live so I’d have to do all this on a cloned site. I’m also not terribly confident that I’d ever get to the bottom of it that way, and besides all plugins are needed so disabling any of them isn’t really an option, even if they are somehow conflicting. Meanwhile I told them to tell customers to just use an up to date browser.

Yes, IE console shows no JS errors.

Very disappointed to discover that Duplicator won’t overwrite an existing WP site. You say it’s an easy plugin to use but you expect normal users to create a database, a user, give the user the right permissions, find out their FTP details… This is too advanced for most people! The average user will use the host’s built-in installer to create a blank WP installation, onto which they would then install a duplicator plugin and move things really easily that way, without having to know anything about databases or FTP. But that’s only available in your Pro version. So unless you are an advanced user with FTP and database access, the free plugin is useless.
Bring back WP Clone! That really WAS a simple plugin to use.

Ok, I figured it out: I had to set the threshold to 100 AND tick “Disable out of stock for variation product attribute item”. Now all the correct crosses are showing!

Actually, maybe I spoke too soon? Some out of stock products have the cross and others don’t… It doesn’t seem to work consistently: for example if I select blue, all out of stock sizes have a cross. If I select Grey, some out of stock sizes like S and L don’t have a cross, as they should. Any other settings I should change? Thanks

Thanks, that solved it. I didn’t realise the client had created 48 variations!

Hi,

This isn’t working for me. I had already looked at the screen you are talking about:

– On Ajax variation threshold I have the value of 30, which is default.

– Out of stock for variation is unchecked

– Attribute behavior is Blur with cross

– Under Tools I clicked on Clear all cache. Use cache is unchecked.

Reloaded front-end, still no crosses.

Thanks.

Ok, so once upgraded to GF 2.5, will the columns created with the new drag and drop system be reflected in the PDF output?

I second this request, this feature would be extremely welcome!
