In reply to: [Customizr] Getting 404's on entypo fontNo. These 404 errors persist. I just checked. 14 more since I cleared the log about 10 days ago. There’s been a few updates since my original post but you are the only reply I’ve received.

In reply to: [User Access Manager] Problem: Please update the databaseI’ve just updated to 1.2.6.4 and experienced the same issue as the original post. I’ve just taken over admin on this site and have limited understanding of how this UAM plugin works. So I am worried I’ll blow stuff away by clicking on “Reset” or on “Update” especially with the red text warning message saying that this is a one way street with no return.
I’ve read through this post but I can’t see any answer to the original post by @norus that suggests that this problem has been fixed. Yet the post has been flagged as [resolved]. If so, can someone point me to the solution?
At the moment, every time I access the UAM menu items I get a message at the top of the page asking me to
Please update the database of the User Access Manager. Click here to proceedI just want to understand the risks of proceeding before running that update. There is nothing I can find in the WP page for this plugin or other posts that explains what this message means or the risks of running it.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Responsive form 7 – 2 columnsIt doesn’t look that bad. I had a look at it in Firefox => Developer => Responsive Design View on small sizes of screens. The main issue is that your labels are folding which is pushing down the input box for some fields.
As for changing it from two columns to one column based on screen size, I have no idea how to do that.
One thought is to use “div” instead of “table”. Div’s are more responsive. I’d also be studying how to use
@mediain your CSS. For example,@media (min-width: 600px) { .myclass { } }There’s also a max-width of this. This is screen size sensitive CSS which is sort of what you are looking for. You might try to shrink your labels when viewed on tiny screens. I don’t think you want to shrink your input boxes too much as they’ll be hard to use.

In reply to: [Geolocation IP Detection] Legacy call failed but got new code workingI’ve just updated my live site to 2.1.1 and experienced the same sequence of events. The “PHP syntax error” was actually a missing function error. It was:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function geoip_detect_get_info_from_current_ip() in /home/content/.../functions.php on line 17
Thanks for the tip to use function_exists. As you can see I’m not a PHP wiz kid (yet). That test would have helped with avoiding the above error but I don’t think it would have helped to overcome the change in name and structure of the data. For example, the change fromcountry_code to country->isoCode. I had used this in the functions.php file and in a bit of PHP code I had inserted into some of my pages. Once I changed the names and structure it was all good.Again, thanks for the great plugin.

In reply to: [Geolocation IP Detection] Legacy call failed but got new code workingOk. Will take a screenshot when I update the live website so I can capture the exact error message at the end of the update process. Just teeing up a time window with my client for the site outage.

In reply to: Full size image upside down@leejosepho you are correct.
When I opened the image in GIMP2, GIMP2 alerted me that the EXIF info indicated that the image was rotated and offered to rotate the image for me or not. I chose Rotate and then rotated the image and exported it to a new jpg file. This seems to have removed the EXIF info so that when I open the new file in GIMP2 it does not alert me and is correctly oriented. Now I can upload the new file and replace it on the page.
Thank you so much for your suggestion.

In reply to: Full size image upside downThanks @leejosepho for the suggestion. I’ll give some thought the best way to remove the camera info and see if that helps.

In reply to: [Customizr] Customizr, Problems with the last Update !!! Help …Michel. You can contact me but don’t send message to that web site I gave as an example. That is a client web site.
Instead, go to my web site at truesited.com and use the email address showing near the bottom of my home page.

In reply to: [Customizr] Customizr, Problems with the last Update !!! Help …Hi Michel
Your tinkering (that’s the English equivalent to “bricolage”) is quite sophisticated for a non-expert. Let me tell you what I can see.
In your child functions.php file, I can see you are using the hook for “tc_social_in_header”. I also use it on one of my web sites to replace the Social Link icons with my own text links (like a mini menu). You can check it out on haitidebeachresort.com. Look in the top right corner of each page. When I upgraded my customizr theme to 3.2.2, it disappeared completely. I discovered, quite by chance, that if I used the Appearance => Customize then Global Settings and Social Links and I load a URL into any of the social links (e.g. facebook) and then Save and Publish, my little menu re-appeared. I’ve published what I found here. I was hoping this might help you to get your tc_social_in_header filter to work.
As for the rest of your bricolage, I don’t think I can help much.
Good luck.

In reply to: [Customizr] Customizr, Problems with the last Update !!! Help …More care with your language. No one likes to read words like “stupid”.
I’d like to help you. I am not an expert but I have some experience in WordPress and using Customizr as a theme.
First, what is your web sites URL? That would make it much easier to see the problems.
You mention a “child theme”. That’s good.
Let’s start with your “google translator box”. You say that you replaced the “social block”. I’m hoping you did this using a “snippet” you found on the themeseandco.com website (home of the theme). Can you confirm that you did this using your child theme’s “functions.php” file?

In reply to: [Customizr] google plus codeThe Customizr theme provides a menu where you can specify links to your social media accounts. One of those links is for Google +. I’d try putting it there.
From WP admin menu go to Appearance => Customize. Then click on Global Setting and Social Links. Put your URL in the Google + box. Save and Publish. You should see a Google+ icon appear where you specified that Customizr should display your Social Links (refer to the checkboxes on the same menu).
BTW you should just paste the URL starting with https. Don’t put the “rel=publisher” stuff in there as it probably won’t work.
I found a solution. I added my link in the theme’s customization menu for Facebook. The presence of at least one inbuilt social media link triggers the tc_social_in_header routine to be run and the little F icon appears. To get rid of it, I removed a line of code from my child theme’s functions.php file:
<?php echo tc__f( '__get_socials' ) ?>Deleting it turned off the display of all inbuilt social icons in the header so the little F disappeared. That’s exactly what I wanted. But since the tc_social_in_header routine was called, it loaded and displayed my text links (it’s actually a miniature menu) as it had done before the upgrade. You can see it at work on http://haitidebeachresort.com in the top right corner of each page.
Dave: You are a legend. Excellent! All fixed.
Thank you.

In reply to: [Customizr] Replacing 404 page with my ownI must confess I had not thought about using 301 and I’ve found two plugins for this too. (After you mentioned it I went off and did more reading. I had associated 301 with a change of domain name but now I realise that it can be used for lots of other situations where the URLs change.)
With hindsight, I could have used 301’s in this case (I moved a small website from Windows-based .NET server to Linux with WP running on Apache). I can see that it would not have been a trivial process because the URL structure of the old web site was so radically different. I guess the question to ask when deciding if 301 is better than 410 (or 404) is whether there is any benefit in retaining the legacy page URL for ratings by the search engine or if you have a lot of external links on other web sites pointing to your old URLs. In this case I’m happy that there was no real benefit. But I’ll keep it in mind for future applications. Good call.
