 * Hi Charts.
    I’m sorry if I reply late, very busy period. I saw your website, 
   nice view 🙂 About the flickering… this is a very simple plugin, there are better
   methods to offer a live from a netcam but they are complex. The resolution you
   are using (720p) is big so sometimes there are small gaps between the “removing
   frame 1” and “pushing frame 2”. I hope to improve this in future, but currently
   I can’t do better…

 * Hello Brad.
    I don’t know that specific product. My plugin works with any netcam
   or webcam with a static JPEG URL (= a path on the netcam that offer a single 
   image of the live)

 * Hi Brad.
    What’s the problem exactly? In the “url” parameter you put the URL 
   to a single JPEG image from the webcam/netcam

 * Hi hassanbhatti.
    The function get_category_children is deprecated: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_category_children/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_category_children/)
 * If you want to use it anyway you could:
    – split the string result (it should
   be a list of IDs) using explode() PHP function; – for each ID you could use cfi_featured_image
   to get the featured image.

 * Hello Jason.
    I put only a few examples because you can find many samples on 
   the web on using Polymer in various ways. My plugin aims to provide a generic
   system to use Polymer with WordPress.
 * I don’t know about a Polymer element named Card.
    You could create something 
   like this: [https://www.polymer-project.org/0.5/docs/start/tutorial/step-2.html](https://www.polymer-project.org/0.5/docs/start/tutorial/step-2.html)

    Perhaps it uses his own way to present
   the featured images.

 * mumuhajir21: that behavior is caused by the autop option (which automatically
   adds p tags for each new line in the post editor); to work my plugin requires
   the autop disabled.
    If you flag “Enable autop” option (in the plugin box of 
   the post editor) it will work again as before but you could have some problems
   with Polymer tags. I will think to a better solution if possible.

    `echo get_cat_name(
   $cat_id );`

 * ykaribou: that row is in your script?
    “var i$” … usually $ is a special character,
   perhaps it could not be accepted from Javascript as a valid qualifier.
 * mumuhajir21: standard components are imported automatically
    When you edit (or
   create) a post and you insert the Polymer shortcode or use a Polymer tag my plugin
   will parse the document (while saving) to produce a list of the required imports.

 *     ```
       $fimg = cfi_featured_image_url( array( 'size' => 'large', 'cat_id' => $cat_id ) );
       if( !empty( $fimg ) ) echo '<img src="', $fimg,'" />';

 * Hello Southwest.
    In archive.php you could get the category ID, it should be:`
   $cat_id = get_query_var( 'cat' );` Then you show the image: `echo cfi_featured_image(
   array( 'size' => 'large', 'title' => 'This is a test...', 'class' => 'my-image','
   alt' => 'My image', 'cat_id' => $cat_id ) );` But I didn’t tried myself.

 * Hello mumuhajir2.
    My plugin offer only a way to use Polymer components in WordPress.
   To see/learn what Polymer can do you can look the samples and docs on the official
   website: [http://www.polymer-project.org/](http://www.polymer-project.org/)

 * I think that my plugin is not a good choice for a theme because it defines the
   html Polymer components to load when the user save a post/page.
    In a theme I
   would include a copy of Polymer library because it is not a stable project yet(
   so you will not have problems if my plugin is updated to a new version) and you
   can load the components you need based on how you build the theme.
