In reply to: [EWWW Image Optimizer] PHP Error message (Division by Zero) ?Nothing there, either …. I’ll just keep an eye things for now. Thanks for trying to help.

In reply to: [EWWW Image Optimizer] PHP Error message (Division by Zero) ?I’m so sorry, still confused. Do you mean the list of resize options in the “Disable resizes” section? I do see a number of files sizes listed, although nothing with a 0 height.

In reply to: [EWWW Image Optimizer] PHP Error message (Division by Zero) ?Thank you so much for your extremely prompt reply.
Can you clarify what I need to do to “check for such resizes on the EWWW Advanced settings” I can’t figure out which box I need to tick or what information I would need to add to check.
Just want to note — I ran into a similar problem – no error message displayed, but the contact list field did not populate properly. It just had a list of “undefined” values. With the help of the link above I determined that the error was due to my server configuration, because the PHP extension XML-RPC was not enabled.
I don’t know whether this is a common issue among hosting providers, but I did need to go through the process of activating XML-RPC on my system. (Which is something that generally requires advanced-level server access). So this is something to watch out for.

In reply to: [Quick Paypal Payments] IPN issue – feature requestThe point is that you could use the notify_url parameter to pass the site-specific response URL to PayPal, and then it wouldn’t matter whether or not the user had also set up that site URL on the PayPal site.
From what I can find, other e-commerce or payment programs do pass that parameter — I don’t know why you chose not to include it.
Anyway, I labeled my post a “feature request” — it’s just the type of thing you might want to do to encourage use of your plugin and also make the IPN process simpler for users.

In reply to: [Page-list] Shortcode broken with WP 4.4. upgradeI have no way of knowing what wordpress will do and what they can or cannot fix. You can follow those issues at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/
Here’s a link to a couple of bug reports that seem pertinent:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35022
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/34939You can follow them and wait for the next patch to see whether the problem is resolved.
As to my suggestion — if you have 50 sites, do you have one that is smaller & less critical than others that you could use as a starting point for testing? Or perhaps a development/testing site that is showing the same problem?
I agree it is a risky approach, which is why I said that you would want to back up your database first.

In reply to: [Page-list] Shortcode broken with WP 4.4. upgradeI don’t know if it would help but you might consider trying a search & replace plugin — https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=search+and+replace
(I don’t know which to recommend but I usually look for plugins that have been recently updated and also have large numbers of users)
If all the short codes have a similar pattern, then you could give it a try. Of course you’ll want to back up your database first since search & replace operations sometimes have unintended consequences.
@manuki — I am sorry but I cannot offer you coding help. Have you already tested gTranslate already? I have Transposh installed on my site and the language changes carry through to the Bootstrap banner without a problem — so perhaps you simply need to change plugins.
@chloericcardo -I understood what you want to do — I just thought that when you said you had spent 3 hours working on that you might have made some progress and I was wanting to know what was left to be done.
You can’t cut and paste the old CSS because some of the classes have changed:
Here’s what I remember from working on the problem:
#bootstrap-slider .carousel-caption controls the whole division, so you would use that class to set the size and color of the large rectangle. You should be able to get the width you want by fiddling around with width, margin, or padding properties.
#bootstrap-slider .carousel-caption h2 controls the section with the large print at the top — so that’s where you would set the color, font-size, etc.
#bootstrap-slider .carousel-caption p controls properties for the next line.
#bootstrap-slider a.button controls button placement. You’ll see from my CSS above that I got it where I wanted it to be by adding a float:right to put it to the edge of the div. I think that if you want to get it centered, you’ll have to first set it to be a block level element with display:block and then to get it centered you could try either text-align:center or set the left/right margin to “auto”.
The arrows are a little trickier, as they are entirely new — They are set with:
#bootstrap-slider .carousel-control &
.carousel-control.left &
.carousel-control.rightIf you want them the same way as before, you’ll have to fiddle around with various positioning properties to get them placed properly.
I use Chrome and rely a lot on the Inspect Element features of the Chrome Developer Tools. If you have the server space, I’d suggest installing Evolve on a development site and fiddling around with the banner there until you figure out the coding.
I don’t know if you will get the banner exactly the same, but you should at least be able to get to a point where it is close enough for your satisfaction.
Re the Bootstrap discussion above – the issues with layout on the “Bootstrap slider” have nothing whatsoever to do with Bootstrap. None of the layout items that I needed to correct are coded using Bootstrap conventions. I referred to “Bootstrap” in my question to distinguish this slider from the other slider options that are packaged with Evolve.
I think that the discussion about pros & cons of the Bootstrap framework probably belongs in another thread.
@chloericcardo –what specific elements are giving you problems? The width of the caption, or placement of buttons?
I was hoping that my posting of CC would help narrow down which elements need to be coded – no that people would copy my specs exactly.
@bobbutterfly – there’s a free plugin called P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) that you can use to get a sense of what is impacting performance on your site.
It gives you a timeline that shows how long it takes for things to load — it shows all elements — WP Core, Theme, Plugins. My site runs a lot slower than I would like– but its mostly from the plugins. In my case the plugins are essential to the site function.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Page-list] Shortcode broken with WP 4.4. upgradeWell, it’s still a mystery, but now it’s working on my site so I don’t have a clue. It’s not 4.4 alone because I tested it on new clean install of WP & it worked there. So then I deleted the page-list plugin and reinstalled & reactivated — and created a new page .. and it’s working. But it’s still not working on the pages where it was previously entered — if I delete the entry and retype it on the same line… still doesn’t work. But if I type the shortcode on a second line, and then delete the first line where the shortcode was before.. then it works…
So it’s crazy. It must be something about the way pages were regenerated from the database after the upgrade. I did figure out that when the shortcode was displaying on the page, the second quote was displaying as a “fancy” quote rather than the regular quote. I couldn’t see any reason for that in the source code (“text” view of edit page) for the page… and yet there it was.
I also saw in issue like joshkho described where if I added a second full short code, the first would work and display as well as the second… that’s what led me to the solution of retyping the shortcode on a second line and deleting the first.
Anyway… sorry to waste your time with this….

In reply to: [Page-list] Shortcode broken with WP 4.4. upgradeJust so you know, I have now tried disabling ALL plugins other than Page-list and the problem persists.
It’s a mystery to me.
It works fine with this, including carrying the size specification:
[pagelist_ext include=”295, 265″ image_width=”100″]
Just not with this:
[pagelist_ext image_width=”100″]No error messages showing up — the system simply doesn’t parse the shortcode.
If you know of any good debugging system for shortcode, I’d be happy to try it and report output.

In reply to: [Page-list] Shortcode broken with WP 4.4. upgradeActually, you don’t understand the problem.
If I enter the shortcode,
[pagelist_ext image_width=”100″] on the page on the backend –then all I see on the front end is the short code displayed:
[pagelist_ext image_width=”100″]
Nothing else. No pictures, no links, no excerpts. The short code doesn’t work at all with that specification; and it doesn’t work at all either in combination with the child_of parameter — and the child_of parameter does not work when used alone either.
It does work in combination with the image specification in combination with some other parameters, but it shows the WordPress default 150px and not the pagelist default of 50px (as specified in your documentation)
It worked fine until yesterday, and then stopped working when wordpress was upgraded to 4.4.
It is NOT the theme because the problem continued after I turned OFF my theme and instead activated the Twenty Fifteen theme (with the latest update)
I understand what a CSS width specification does. My point is that some of the shortcodes of your plugin have stopped working for me. I’ll test further to see if there is a conflict with any other recently upgraded plugins. I’ve already tested the ones that I thought were most likely to cause a conflict. I’ll let you know if I get anywhere with this.
