In reply to: [Back End Instructions] incompatible with YAPBFor the record, I’ve downloaded and installed the YAPB plugin on my testbed, and turned on the notices. The site is running Twenty Twelve, and only has my plugin and YAPB installed and activated. I don’t get any warnings or error messages for either plugin – can’t replicate the issue at all.
Have you tried reverting your theme to default/deactivating all the other plugins to see if you still get the problem?

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] Error with editors mail pluginsThe problem is that plugins are often loaded in alphabetical order. Back-End Instructions is loading pluggable.php which should be loaded after every other plugin.
Exactly. I actually have a list of issues to fix, and this is one that I’m working on now. I have the fix in place, but I’m just testing to be sure it’s working. It’ll be fixed in the next release.

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] incompatible with YAPBThat’s not an error, that’s a warning message (and it’s also a warning message for the YAPB plugin, not for Back End Instructions. That’s typically an error for a variable that isn’t defined yet.) And error would mean it would make one plugin or the other no longer function.
My guess is that it has something to do with the custom post types. Do the plugin not *work* when they are both activated? Or do you just get that warning message? (typically, a warning is nothing more than a “just letting you know” message – but it doesn’t affect how the plugins actually *work*.) If one of the plugins don’t *function*, then that would be good to know. otherwise, you can just shut off your e_notices in PHP. I think you can do that through your host, or through WordPress wp-config.php file.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Extensions: Smart Coupons, Chained Products and Product BundlesOkay, I finally got an answer, so I thought I’d share it here, in case anyone else had the same question.
Chained Products is an extension for when you want to allow people to purchase items as a gift for someone else. (Think Amazon registries, or wishlists.) Product Bundles is more for when you want to group a bunch of products together and sell it as a bundled item.
Neither one will recognize if an item is on sale individually – so if you have a single item on sale, and it’s in the bundle or chain it won’t be on sale within the grouped stuff. (Which makes sense, since usually the grouped stuff is at a lower price anyway.)

In reply to: WooCommerce Extensions: Smart Coupons, Chaine Products and Product BundlesApologies – this is a duplicate post. For some reason it wouldn’t show up on the Plugin support page I wanted it on, so I posted it again this morning, and it took. You can ignore this post – the one that finally showed up in support is here. Do what you like with this one – close it up or whatever, but please leave the other one open.

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] Error: "Invalid post type" when filtering postsThe “instructions.php” file is within the back end instructions plugin, not your theme. If you don’t have the back end instructions plugin installed and activated and are having this problem, then it’s not a plugin issue.

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] Error: "Invalid post type" when filtering postsSweet. I’ve been doing testing too, and it doesn’t seem to affect the search results either, so I’ll apply this in the next release. Thanks for letting me know about it!

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] Error: "Invalid post type" when filtering postsOkay, nevermind. I could replicate the problem – found the issue. in the short term, the solution is to open up instructions.php, an comment out line 71:
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'bei_query_vars');That was a solution I came up with a while back to prevent the instructions from showing up within search results on the front end. However, that was written a while back, and I don’t think the code is necessary anymore. I *do* want to double check on it though. But for the short term, that should work for you. I’ll do some testing and see if I can get it 100% sorted, and the next release should take care of it.

In reply to: [Back End Instructions] Error: "Invalid post type" when filtering postsBefore I post my questions, I just want to let you know that Ive had the flu for this past week, and right now i’m pretty “floaty” in the head from all the medication I’m on at the moment. This is the first day I’ve been able to sit at my computer for over a week – so please pardon me if the questions I ask seem a bit silly.
Okay, so you say you have no problems searching in the admin – searching or filtering by category. But the next line is that you *do* have problems. So I’m wondering if you mean on the front end, when you search, you get an “invalid post type”? (you can find things just fine in the admin, but not on the front end?)
if that’s the case, did you make the posts available to the front end? By default, the custom post type for instructions are NOT available to front end users, and you will get an “invalid post type” if you try to access the posts from the front end of the site. You have to change the settings to allow it, and then set what user level is allowed to view them.
I hope that makes sense 🙂

In reply to: Editing galleries. Thumbnails missing.I don’t know about the thumbnail issue, but Shiba Media Library is a great plugin for tagging images (and creating galleries frm tags). The downside to the plugin is that it’s not in the repository, so you have to check back every so often to see if there are updates (you won’t get notifications of updates, so you have to remember to check every now and again). But it’s an excellent plugin (and yes, it’s free), with great support. I’ve used it for years in many sites.

In reply to: Running wordpress with an alternative database backend?None of these are helpful?
I know I once did a WordPress install on a IIS server with MSSQL, and it wasn’t pretty, and I’ll never do it again. BUT, I was pretty much a n00b at WordPress when I did it, and it was a really old version, like 2.0 or something. So it was probably hard for me simply because I had no idea what was going on LOl
I know there’s IIS packages available for download from the release archive, but I don’t know if they’ll run on MSSQL.
ETA: here’s a walkthrough that I found from the above link.

In reply to: Recipients are receiving four emails with the same comment.Pings are for YOU, not someone else.
I the front end of the site (where people actually fill in a form and leave a comment) is there a checkbox to somehow receive notifications of replies, or subscribe to the comments? If so, you’re using a plugin to allow people to do that. A standard WordPress installation does NOT notify other people when comments are posted. You have to use something else – a custom function or a plugin – to make that happen. Esmi’s just trying to sort out what you’re using that notifies visitors that comments to your site has been made.
I don’t see anything on your site that allows people to receive notifications when a comment is left on your site. After a quick search, it appears this is spam.
