In reply to: [jQuery Comment Replies] Destroys CSS for commentsI take exception with this. I have used this plugin on several of my own client’s themes, and it integrates perfectly fine. The only exception is that you have to add a small bit of code to the CSS file (as documented in the readme file) for the .replylink class. This is an addition because the standard comments format does not have a “replylink”. It does not damage the design *or* integrity of any theme, if you follow the instructions.
I’m glad you found an alternative that you’re happy with, but to say that my plugin “damages design and integrity” of a layout is completely false. You haven’t told me which theme you’re using so I can see if there’s some sort of conflict I’m unaware of – but I can say with 100% confidence that my plugin *does not* damage anything. I’ve used it on too many sites – several with custom comment layouts – and it does nothing more than add that extra link, and an extra div container, which requires a bit of styling – as explained very well in the readme file.

In reply to: [jQuery Comment Replies] Destroys CSS for commentsAs described in the readme file, it changes the comments layout, using the comment callback function. It does this because new classes, etc have o be popped in for the jQuery to take and do it’s job. You can edit the comment layout however you like,though.
I don’t know what theme you were using before you activated the plugin – but the comment layout is based off of Twenty Twelve, and some additional classes are added. but the settings for the plugin let you do what you need to alter your comment layout. All the info is in the readme file.

In reply to: [Theme My Login] Logout Won't WorkExcellent. This post above solved my issue. I was running a fresh install of WP 3.5.2, with a fresh download of TML 6.3.8, no other plugins and using Twenty Twelve. I *could not* – for the life of me – log out for any reason. No errors in the log files – just couldn’t log out at all. Followed those instructions above, and now it works fine.
Mine was localhost (so I can’t give access) but I’ll see if I can replicate the issue on a live site and give you access, Jeff. But in the meantime – that worked a treat!

In reply to: [jQuery Comment Replies] Add numbers of repliesNo, no solution. There isn’t a function that does this kind of thing natively. I’ve been trying to get it to work, but there’s a LOT that goes into it, and I haven’t been able to get it going, because it’s a pretty complex query.
It’s something I may be able to work into my next release, but unless I sort out exactly how to do it, I don’t think it will.
Now, an alternative is to get Show Total Conversations, and at the top of your comment list, instead of just saying how many comments there are, it’ll say something like “5 comments with 4 threads”) – but putting an actual comment *count* with each thread is proving to be far too complicated.

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] Screenshots or demo?Actually, I’ve been having issues uploading screenshots since version 2.3. The repository seems to be ignoring them for some reason. I’m still trying to sort out why.
You can download it and try it out, and if you don’t like it you can just remove it.
I also have a video (it’s a little outdated, but most of the stuff is still the same) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnLfU1-aYRo
Okay – got it. It was a variable naming conflict (absolutely my bad – I forgot to prefix one!) I’ll upload the changes in a moment. Thanks again for letting me know 🙂
Okay, I’ve found the issue. For some reason, when you activate either plugin, it’s rendering the options for my plugin as “null”. Turn them off, and there’s no interference with my plugin options. (if you print_r($options) within any of my functions, they are returned as “null” when the Yoast SEO or GA is activated. Turn ’em off, and my options show up fine.)
I’m currently trying to sort out *why*. But at least now I know what’s going on – as far as why the menu item is disappearing…
for the time being, you can open up the instructions.php file, scroll down to the lines that start at 443 ( $args = array(‘labels’ => $labels,) and just replace ‘$show’ with ‘true’ on the show_in_menu and show_ui lines. That makes it come back.
Thanks for letting me know about this. I’ll continue to try and sort out why these two plugins make everything ignore my options.
Okay thanks – I’ll look into it an see what I can find.
What does “not working” mean? Are you getting any error/warning messages? What’s it not doing that it should be? I need a little more to go on, please. Thanks!
If you mean only for the post.php page (and not any other page that is like post.php?post_type=whatever), no. The reason is because the plugin is made to “build” on previous instructions, so you don’t have to rewrite the same thing over and over again. Since all post types have the same basic ingredients, it’s used as a reminder for what to do when you create/edit a post of any type. If you have a custom post type that has extra fields that aren’t standard (or remove standard blocks), then you can create an instruction for that specific post type with the addiotonal information for that specific type.
I you *really* want to remove instructions for a particular post type, you could use a custom stylesheet for the admin area (there’s already a hook for admin stylesheets.. I’m not at my computer so I can’t tell you what it is though – it’s early and I’m still on coffee #1 LOL). But there are admin stylesheets in the newest version (3.0), which I updated last week) and you can add “display:none” to the areas you want hidden. you could even add spans with “hide” classes so they are hidden by default, and show then on specific pages (there’s all kinds of ways around it using CSS)
But it’s written like this on purpose, mainly because – like I said – it’s meant to be an instructional library that you build upon, rather than rewrite the same content over and over again for different user evens and content types.

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] upload images to wrong folderOh sweet – thanks for letting me know!

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] upload images to wrong folderOkay, I just uploaded a new version. I hope it fixes your issue, because if it doesn’t, I have no idea how to fix it. The issue you’ve got doesn’t even throw out any error messages or anything (even in the logs), and the only place I can produce the weirdness is on your server. SO I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] upload images to wrong folderMy plugin has nothing to do with the uploads folder – it’s just a custom post type. It is used just like when you write a post or a Page within WordPress – it’s just separated into it’s own area. If you installed the plugin in April, and added an image in April, it will put the image in the “april” uploads folder (ie whatever month it is currently is what folder it will go into)
I’m not sure what you mean by “I don’t know what the process is to upload an image”… but if you want to contact me directly, you can email me at shelly AT brassblogs DOT com.

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] upload images to wrong folderI just tested this out myself today, on a clean install of WordPress, running no other plugins, and the twenty twelve theme. It’s putting uploaded images in the correct folder. So I can’t reproduce this (to see if I can correct it) without actually knowing what your setup is.
