In reply to: [RSS Post Importer] I must be an idiotAnd no, Steve, you are not an idiot. This plug-in is evidently, purposely set up, and advertised deceptively to say the least.

In reply to: [RSS Post Importer] I must be an idiotWho wants to save feeds as posts anyway!? I have a page oriented website, not a blog. Posts are just what they are – Posts. Posts are articles here, not commentary. There are comments sections on each post for that. I set up this plug-in and it added all these posts to already made posts/articles. When I deleted the plug-in, i checked for it to delete its files. It does not remove the posts it made. Now I have to waste even more time going through all my posts to delete the trash.
This plug-in is the real trash and shouldn’t be in the free plug-in section at all.If I could rate this as zero stars, I would, because of the deceptive advertising (It is NOT actually a free plug-in as the WordPress section states), lack of succinct instruction, and the fact that it didn’t clean up after itself.
Crippleware!!!

In reply to: [RSS Post Importer] I must be an idiotI downloaded this as though it was a normal aggregator, which it is NOT! A good aggregator will allow you to put feeds where you want them, in posts or anywhere else. I waded through the forum as well without finding anything that shows how to place feeds on a page WHERE YOU WANT THEM as with most aggregators. The fact that it is not able to do this needs to be up front.
Waste of time and effort.
This is crippleware!Wasted lots of time installing, setting up, to find no instructions on how to get it to appear on a page.
Worthless unless one can get the feeds to the page.
What he’s saying is that the price is too high and the fact that is not put up front is equally disgusting. It’s not up front because it’s too high.
This isn’t software. It’s crippleware!!Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [wp-mpdf] Trash11 months later is quick help? Wasn’t worth the time to post in forums and wait to see IF anybody had answers. I use regular mpdf and don’t have the hassle.
Then when the author finally does reply he makes no effort to answer ANY of the many questions posed. If forums gave reliable, fast, and succinct, answers I would use them. Most don’t.
I moved forward. I didn’t need, couldn’t use, a non working plug-in or the worthless reply.Notification of further commentary on this subject has been turned off.

In reply to: [Front-end Editor for WordPress] Magic!When I see or say WYSIWYG I mean just that.
This plug in does not help the fact that what you see is NOT EXACTLY what is printed!!!
It is not WYSYWYG anything.Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: True WYSYWYG Editing & PrintingThank you Mika. Good to see there is work being done on this.
The issue of getting what you see in the editor to be the same on screen is also, and has long been, a problem in html editing. A lot of work has been done, but still a lot to be done here. The other issue is to be able to print exactly what is on screen. Having given up on the visual editors due to the fact that they make unwanted changes in your code, I have only the problem of making what I have on the page print exactly as seen. I am looking at hacking various pdf printers as possible solutions for this.

In reply to: True WYSYWYG Editing & PrintingSeeing what you have in the edit screen and having it match what you get on the page is one issue. Having that print as seen on that page is another. These are separate issues. We wish it were the same all the way through but we don’t live in an ideal world.
Part of the problem is generated by the fact that WordPress is primarily used by bloggers and Not technical web developers. That’s why the focus is on plug-ins and themes as opposed to programming – To make it easy for those who aren’t, and don’t want to become programmers in any degree – don’t want to see code, Period. Not many humans want to be programmers.
The technical side also exists and is heavily populated with programmers. There’s no madness, just two different needs served by two different groups of individuals.
And what’s “evil” about a process that has no intelligence of its own? Please explain. WYSIWYG is what you make it. It’s difficult to obtain and there are those who want and have need of it!
Contribution(s) to solution(s) is/are appreciated.

In reply to: True WYSYWYG Editing & PrintingForward step: Some of the pdf writers have the ability to come close to WYSIWYG. Nuff sed.

In reply to: True WYSYWYG Editing & PrintingWhy I was looking for work arounds is that I am not a code writer beyond some html. Note the methods and tools proposed here require little to no actual code writing. Since I am not a code writer, like many, if not most, folks, the approach here is from a none code writing perspective.
This “patch” is a set of methods, not some universal code. We can agree for right now that no universal code has been presented here that locks the page seen to the printed copy. That’s not saying it doesn’t exist and/or can’t be done, just that it hasn’t been presented here. There seems to be no ONE solution that can cause WordPress to print WYSIWYG, so a combination of methods has been the option.
The good is that in tandem these methods start to open doors toward getting that print that looks like the page on screen.
If there is some universal code that can make WordPress print exactly what is on screen then it’ll take a much better coder than me to make it so.

In reply to: True WYSYWYG Editing & PrintingIn answer to the question of what needs to be amended to the editor for it to give what you see in it on the screen: The editor itself is what needs to be trashed and replaced with one that actually gives what you see. There are none at this time that even come close to true WYSIWYG.
A work around is to use a good html editor and import the result into WordPress with the visual editor disabled, otherwise it will change your code.

In reply to: True WYSYWYG Editing & PrintingThree More Tools That Help WYSIWYG Happen
The use of tables is another tool that helps print what you see. There is a school that deplores the use of tables but that’s OK. Here, what works, rules, due to the nature of the issue.
css is a major tool also but is of more use after placement of text and objects.
html itself can be tailored to do its thing within WordPress, giving one more placement options as well as styling.
Getting closer to real WYSIWYG is being accomplished by stripping down the chosen theme, then building it back up piece by piece, according to how the final output is to look. When a variant of the main theme, or another theme altogether, is used, multiple themes can are facilitated by employing a theme switching plug in.
