In reply to: [LDD Business Directory] Terrible DirectoryAbove the “new listing” thumbnails, do you mean?
You can turn those off via the dashboard settings page if you like. Go to your admin dashboard, choose “settings” from the Directory menu on the left, and then click on the “Appearance” tab. There’s a checkbox right at the top for turning them on or off. HTH

In reply to: [LDD Business Directory] listing will not loadThere’s a forward slash in the logos filename that’s resulting in the plugin attempting to place it in a sub-directory of
./lddbd-logos/, which doesn’t exist. Due to that it’s triggering an error which is writing to the output and causing headers to be sent.While development of the plugin has moved full time to the LDD Directory Lite project, and I cannot guarantee that any existing bugs from the LDD Business Directory plugin will ever get fixed… I’ll see if I can’t fix this one for you and release a new version.

In reply to: [LDD Business Directory] Listing DisplayThere isn’t. Everything is hardcoded in the old plugin, and development on it has moved to a new plugin.
The new plugin is still in beta and as such isn’t recommended for production web sites, however if you want to give it a go it has templates for modifying the look and feel of any front end interface.

In reply to: [LDD Business Directory] Terrible DirectoryMy apologies for taking so long to respond; most of my time is spent in the support forums for the rewrite/upgrade of the old business directory plugin.
I will add a notice to the plugins Readme in an effort to avoid the confusion, but that will only work in cases where people read through the entire thing before installing… even I hardly ever do that!
All I see on that page is the shortcode, so I’m assuming you have the plugin disabled at this point. What was it doing, might I ask? I’m guessing it may have had trouble integrating with your theme?

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Directory disappeared with newest upgradeSomething is putting the focus in the search form and causing it to fire the script that returns the live search results. When this happens it hides the main content and replaces it with the search results, but in your case it’s not returning anything and just hiding the content.
Click on the search input and backspace, you’ll see your content show up. It’s doing this on every page though so even once you click on a category or a listing it’ll happen again (where the content disappears).
If I was more versed with Chromes developer tools ability to step through JavaScript I might be able to figure it out. As it is, I have no idea what’s doing it.
The only solution may be to turn off the live search…

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] plugin shifted menu items#page { width: 100%; }Should work.
I’m not a designer so I’ve been utilizing bootstrap to try and make the plugin something other than ugly. It’s caused some woes, but hopefully most of them can be solved as we go along.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Fatal error: Allowed memory sizeI have a pretty good suspicion of what was causing that error for you. Props to Query Monitor for making that far easier to diagnose than it may have been otherwise.
In order to detect what page the shortcode is on, I was running a recursive search through all the posts and then temporarily storing the results in a transient. No bueno.
The next release scans the post content on save for the shortcode, and updates the proper setting when it’s detected. This should be dramatically lower impact and shouldn’t cause any out of memory issues.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] plugin shifted menu itemsWell isn’t that funny. The listings were in alphabetical order; reverse alphabetical order. This happened due to the process of generating the template output. I reversed the order.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] plugin shifted menu itemsBootstrap is overriding your theme styles for the
.nav > lielements, frominline-blockback toblock. This is my fault for having Bootstrap queue up so late in the game, and I’ve modified the plugin so that it will attempt to queue before the theme stylesheet. This will allow cascading to take over and will rule in favor of the theme (hopefully).That fix will be out with the next release, but in the meantime if you want, you should be able to add the following to your stylesheet (or temporarily to the
header.phpfile) to override the override:#nav-topbar .nav > li { display: inline-block; }It’s a band-aid but it should work.
As for the items not appearing in alphabetical order, I’m going to set that as default for the next release as well. Down the road I’ll work out how to add it as a configurable setting.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Google Maps Not showingI realize this wasn’t the most important issue on your list, but migrating from the old plugin to the new is an important process to me and one that I want to be as painless and perfect as possible.
To that end, you inspired me to spend the day yesterday rewriting the whole process. The upgrade functionality in 0.5.4-beta now:
- doesn’t run automatically, or put your site into maintenance mode without warning.
- displays a notification at the top of the dashboard informing you that there is data available for import. This notification is dismissable if for any reason you want to continue without importing.
- provides feedback as to what occurred during the import (how many of each item was imported, if there were errors or duplicates, etc)
There is also a debug utility on the settings page which allows you to remove all Directory Lite content (new content, not the old) if you want to start from a clean slate and attempt the import again. This should provide a completely safe and accountable upgrade path from the old plugin to the new.
Now on to your other issues…

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Fatal error: Allowed memory sizeWell that’s not good, it shouldn’t be using the entire 128 for any reason whatsoever.
Do you have any plugins installed that add things to the edit post page? Sometimes media plugins, slideshow plugins or other content related plugins will add various metaboxes to the edit post or edit page screens. I’m wondering if this is the case, if my plugin is conflicting with another over something.
I’ll take a look at the code tomorrow morning and see if I can see anything obvious on my end.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] plugin shifted menu items1) You’ll have to show me (via a link perhaps) what it’s doing for me to make suggestions on how to fix it.
2) That’s a good suggestion. There should probably be something on the dashboard that lets you set the default order with the ability to override it on the front end… I’ll definitely do the former, and consider the latter as a possibility.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Directory disappeared with newest upgradeThat’s not a happy looking directory!
I’ll be happy to help you get this sorted out; it’s already too late here tonight but I’ll be back tomorrow morning and maybe we can track down where yours is having trouble.
Please be advised, the Lite plugin is still in Beta. It’s going to break here and there, which is why it will import your data from the original plugin but it won’t remove any of it (so you can always revert at any time).
That being said, I’ll be back in about 10 hours.

In reply to: [Bitly's Wordpress Plugin] Plugin generating links on autosaves and revisionsI could swear I updated that for 2.3.0, but I’m going to double check…
…yep, 2.3.0 bails if
wp_is_post_revision()returns anything but false. It also bails out ifDOING_AUTOSAVEis set. At least it’s supposed to, and off the top of my head I can’t see any way it could be bypassing those checks.I might have to release a patch that grabs the results of all those checks and logs them in the debug file.
