It might have benefits for new users, but to shove a piece of software down people’s throat that affects so much of their website is unconscionable. * Gutenberg should have been made available to users as an opt-in selection in Settings. There are page builder plugins that are far more full-featured than Gutenberg. So why would developers waste their time solving a problem that didn’t need to be solved in the first place? * Hopefully the backlash against WordPress is enough to force them to change course. Gutenberg takes twice as long to develop a website, almost all blocks have to be converted to HTML blocks for me, and there’s no way to add images to code. I would seriously have to question the competence of the entire WordPress team at this point. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Gutenberg] Why?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-54/) * Thread Starter [abollmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abollmeyer/) * (@abollmeyer) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-54/#post-11067653) * It’s not the blocks that are the problem Orlando Alonzo. I don’t want to use the blocks. Navigating like I used to be able to is the problem. I rarely ever used the visual editor. I used the code editor mostly. It doesn’t appear there’s any way to add photos from the code editor screen like I used to be able to. * My site is heavily dependent on a lightbox plugin that requires shortcode and uses a ton of photos. That’s how I’ve been running my site for 3 years. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to add media in Gutenberg code editor?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-media-in-gutenberg-code-editor/) * Thread Starter [abollmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abollmeyer/) * (@abollmeyer) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-media-in-gutenberg-code-editor/#post-11067637) * I don’t recall seeing any notices on my Dashboard. MetaSlider add-on upsell notification- check! Gutenberg notification- nope! If it showed up in further down, I wouldn’t ever see it. I don’t spend that much time on my Dashboard page. * I have installed the Classic editor for now. Thanks daleducatte. * Obviously I’m frustrated. I have a theme with PageBuilder built in, and I hate it too. The problem is my site deals with a boat load of photos, which requires a lightbox plugin to simplify the site. My entire site is heavily dependent on that one plugin. * If WordPress decides to stop supporting the Classic editor, then I’m screwed. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Lightbox] Move navigation arrows](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/move-navigation-arrows/) * Thread Starter [abollmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abollmeyer/) * (@abollmeyer) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/move-navigation-arrows/#post-10382390) * Yes. I’ve read all of your topics on your website regarding custom themes. I’m more used to C# and WPF programming than HTML and WordPress. * If you’re willing to help, I guess the first place to start is what to do after I create a custom theme so I can modify the lightbox properties, as referenced in [Theme Layout](https://archetyped.com/know/slb-theme-layout/)? Where do I modify these properties at? This is where I start getting lost. * Right now I’m set up on my test website using the dark theme. Maybe if you can point me in the right direction regarding properties, I might be able to make some headway. It seems like moving the navigation arrows outside of the image area should be relatively simple. - This reply was modified 8 years, 2 months ago by [abollmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abollmeyer/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Optimus - WordPress Image Optimizer] Reoptimize images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reoptimize-images/) * Thread Starter [abollmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abollmeyer/) * (@abollmeyer) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reoptimize-images/#post-9390901) * Thanks Cody.

The problem still persists. * One more thing I did notice is that individual posts are not affected, it’s the posts page that is showing the shortcode and not allowing the lightbox. * Can you please check out my page at the above URL? - This reply was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by [abollmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abollmeyer/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Lightbox] Not working on posts on mobile](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-on-posts-on-mobile/) * Thread Starter [abollmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abollmeyer/) * (@abollmeyer) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-on-posts-on-mobile/#post-8823908) * Sorry, I was wrong.

The website would display properly in Firefox, Chrome, IE10, and mobile OS’s. I tried it with and without the Corpo Toolkit. Never could get it to display correctly in IE11 on two Win 8.1 machines. * Being a beginner, I switched to Customizr. It’s easier to work with and looks just as professional for anyone else having a problem. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Customizr] Move slider on blog post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/move-slider-on-blog-post/) * Thread Starter [abollmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abollmeyer/) * (@abollmeyer) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/move-slider-on-blog-post/#post-4303815) * Figured out one way to do it, but don’t know how it will affect me in the future. Basically, I couldn’t find an action hook that specifies a post or category page( not sure which I would need anyway). Keep in mind this is all new to me. But I found I could achieve the look I wanted by saying if NOT on the home page, then put slider below content. * ``` //Places slider below content and above comments if not on home page. add_action ( 'wp_head' , 'place_slider_after_content' ); function place_slider_after_content() { if (!( !tc__f('__is_home') )) return; remove_action( '__after_header' , array( TC_slider::$instance , 'tc_slider_display' )); add_action( '__after_content', array( TC_slider::$instance , 'tc_slider_display' )); } ``` * Thanks for the input rdellconsulting. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Customizr] Move slider on blog post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/move-slider-on-blog-post/) * Thread Starter [abollmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abollmeyer/) * (@abollmeyer) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/move-slider-on-blog-post/#post-4303772) * ``` add_action ( 'wp_head' , 'place_slider_before_footer' ); function place_slider_before_footer() { if ( !tc__f('__is_home') ) return; remove_action( '__after_header' , array( TC_slider::$instance , 'tc_slider_display' )); add_action( '__before_footer', array( TC_slider::$instance , 'tc_slider_display' )); } ``` * It looks like the part I need to change is (!tc_f(‘__is_home’))…I’ve tried replacing home with category, post, and page.

However, I have looked at that page as well as [this ](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-slider). * This moves the slider accordingly on the home page when I cut and paste the snippet into my functions.php file. * However, the slider on the category page remains the same. I think I need a little more info on how to do this if it is possible. * Thanks for listening. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Slider blocks popups in navigation menu](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-blocks-popups-in-navigation-menu/) * Thread Starter [abollmeyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abollmeyer/) * (@abollmeyer) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-blocks-popups-in-navigation-menu/#post-4256271) * Thank you Alex.
