In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] active css classNo problem. However, the next update will involve another change in CSS class handling. See http://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-default-wordpress-sidebar-menu reported by Adrian Fisse.
I hope I can find a solution that will work for both cases.

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] Show image in item menuHi sauco,
You’ve made a small typo in the <img> tag. This should be “src” not “scr”. I hope this solves your problem.
Kind regards,

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] Issue with default wordpress sidebar menuHi Adrian,
thank you kindly for your donation and for reporting this problem.
The only fix I’ve done between 0.8 and 0.9 indeed involved CSS classes, see topic: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/active-css-class
I will investigate this further. Thank you for reporting!
Kind regards,

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] active css classHi,
thank you very much for reporting this. To be frank, I had not noticed this and will look into it quickly.
I will have to investigate how WordPress usually determines whether the menu item is active or not, and will report back as soon as I have any findings.
Again, thank you for reporting!
Kind regards,

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] Sorting not working?Hi and thank you for using my plugin.
I’ve used %post_date and tested ordering by date descending and ascending and this works as expected.
Can you please ensure that you’ve followed the walkthrough steps detailed in the FAQ and let me know if the problem arises due to a conflict with other plugins or a different theme than the default Twenty Eleven theme?
Note that the ordering on the WordPress page that lists the posts themselves isn’t influenced by my plugin, the plugin only edits the order of the menu items it generates.
Does this help? Hope to hear from you again.
Kind regards,

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] Puts entire post in the menuHi Danny,
because the “woo headlines” theme isn’t free, I will not be testing against it. Therefore, I cannot troubleshoot conflicts with the theme. Can you report this to the theme developers and ask them to contact me if necessary?
I hope that the issues with ordering are resolved, at least. I hope you’ll let me know.
Kind regards,

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] Can't get plugin to show upClose.

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] Puts entire post in the menuHi Danny,
so what you’re saying is that the “woo headlines” theme is causing the conflict for the first site. If the hook is somehow also used or overridden by the theme, this can indeed cause problems. I’m willing to look into it later (don’t have much time this week) but I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do to solve it.
EDIT: The “woo headlines” theme does seem to manipulate the menu as well. So the conflict lies there, my plugin’s changes to the menu are discarded by or conflict with the theme, probably. I’ll look into it later to verify this.
As for the second link, note that it is not “order” or “order by” that determines the number of posts in the menu, but the “number of posts” field.
Kind regards,

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] Puts entire post in the menuHi Danny,
can you be more specific, so that I can reproduce your problem?
On my own blog, I have the custom menu in the sidebar and I don’t experience this problem. I’d like to kindly ask you to provide me with a small example: One menu item with one post, in a custom menu in the sidebar with the Twenty-Eleven Theme and no other plugins.
I hope with that information, I can fix the problem you are having.
Kind regards,

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] Puts entire post in the menuHi, thanks 🙂
In order to help you, I need to know two things:
- Have you followed the walkthrough in the FAQ?
- Have you been able to determine whether this is caused by a conflict with a theme or plugin?

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] Extend orderby to menu_orderHi distrait,
thank you for your suggestion.
However, I will need to test this first, so please bear with me, it will be a short while before I am able to do some development again.I’d need to figure out if this option makes sense even if the SCPO plugin is not installed.
Again, thank you for your suggestion.
Kind regards,

In reply to: [Category Posts in Custom Menu] Can't get plugin to show upHi George,
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope that your further experience with WordPress will be good. My feeling is that once you’ve mastered the use of Custom Menus, you should be good to go with my plugin.
The questions I asked were intended as “try this and please report back”. I’m sorry that these have not solved your problems.
I have retraced the steps, and have used my plugin version 0.8 with both WordPress 3.6 and the Twenty Eleven theme. This should be your base case.
In a final attempt to help you, I’ve listed the steps to use the plugin with the Twenty Eleven theme below.
- Please disable all plugins except Category Posts in Custom Menu
- Create a post with title “My test post” and add a _new_ category “CPCMtest”
- Save the post
- Go to Appearances > Menus
- Click “create a new menu”
- Give the new menu the name “CPCM”
- Add the category “CPCMtest” by opening “Categories”, checking that category and clicking “Add to menu”
- Open the menu item and check “Create submenu containing links to posts with this tag.”
- Under “Remove original menu item” choose “Never”
- Do not change anything else about the menu item
- Scroll all the way down and check under “Theme Locations” the checkbox “Primary Menu”
- Save the menu
If you now look at your blog, you should have a menu with only one item: “CPCMtest”. If you hover over that item with the mouse, it should open, and a post is displayed titled “My test post”.
Now, to use Dropdown Menu Widget:
- Enable Dropdown Menu Widget
- Go to Appearance > Widgets
- Drag the Dropdown Menu Widget to FOOTER AREA ONE.
- __IMPORTANT__: The Main Sidebar in the Twenty Eleven Theme does not show on many pages! This is not my fault!
- As title, set “Show my menu”
- For Menu Type, choose “CPCM”
- Save it
I have followed these steps myself, and you can see the result at blog.dianakoenraadt.nl
If this does not help, or if you have decided not to trace these steps, I want to at least thank you for reporting your troubles. If I can, I will use your feedback to make the plugin better.
Kind regards,
Diana
