In reply to: [Simple Custom Post Order] 2.6.0 still not working properlyUnfortunately I’m starting to believe this plugin has been mostly abandoned.
So first off, the current support forum is over here now: https://colorlibsupport.com/
That being said, if you go there, SCPO doesn’t even have a category. Any posts about it falls under “Other” and 99% of those posts have no response from the developers. Which looks to me like it’s no longer a priority to them at all.
For a temporary not particularly great fix, roll back the plugin to the 2.5.10 version if you still have access to the files.Apparently it has to do with the latest WP update (5.5) depreciating the old jQuery version it used to use (1.14? I think). Which is breaking a lot of plugins and themes. In my case it’s the theme we’re using on the site. There was a JQ migration plugin suggested in an article I found as a temporary patch which got the form to display again: JQ Migrate Helper.
@livonu Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to try that out later this evening as I don’t want to mess with the form during prime usage hours. But I’ll report back if it works without the JQ plugin.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Character countdown not workingGot it! I took another look over your troubleshooting/FAQ and discovered I was missing
<?php wp_head(); ?>before my closing head tag. After adding that the .js loads and the character display is counting down.So if anyone else is coding their own theme and having this issue double check that you have
<?php wp_head(); ?>before your</head>along with a link to the latest jQuery library in your header.php file. And also have<?php wp_footer(); ?>after your</html>in your footer.phpAnd just for the sake of reference (in my case) I’m including my form via a short code IN my theme like this:
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form-7 id="8" title="Application Form"]' ); ?>Your form id number and title are going to be different of course, but that’s the call to it.
Thanks for all your help @takayukister!!

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Character countdown not workingSmall update, I added
<?php wp_footer(); ?>to my footer.php thinking it was that, but no luck. While I do see some of wordpress’s main .js files loading now down there, CF7’s is still not.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Character countdown not workingYou know what, the js file isn’t loading. Even when I’m calling to the form via do_shortcode. The form itself is loading and I can fill it out and receive the form data in an email.
That is really weird. I mean I could just put a link to the js file in my header.php, but I wonder why it’s not being loaded in there automatically. I’ve used CF7 before on other themes I’ve built.
Do you know offhand what might be causing it not to load in? The theme itself is pretty basic, not a lot to it. CF7 is actually the only plugin I have installed.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Character countdown not workingI’ve done a little debugging and I think, my issue might be how I’m calling to the contact form.
At first I was placing the short code in a post and then calling to that post in my template via:
<?php $my_postid = 8;//This is page id or post id $content_post = get_post($my_postid); $content = $content_post->post_content; $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content); echo $content; ?>Next I tried just calling to the form’s short code directly in the template with:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[contact-form-7 id="5" title="Application Form"]'); ?>With both of those, the counter is not working. So I guess the question is, what’s the best way to call to the form in a template? I’d like to have the form on my main index page (it’s a one page website) and not on its own page. Any advice?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Character countdown not workingSure, is there a place I can email a link to you? It’s currently on a private server as it’s still a WIP, and I’d like to not post a link to it here.

In reply to: [Youtube Channel Gallery] Not updating !?Hey Paravia,
Don’t know if this will solve your problem, but I was having the same issue and this thread helped me. Check out the very last post in it: [link]
I’ll have to wait and see if my gallery updates when the playlist does, but it did update to the latest video when I added the mentioned attributes to the short code. So, we’ll see.

In reply to: Get featured image via post IDHey Alchymyth,
I ended up working out a solution using wp_get_attachment_url. I really wanted to try and get the post and use it in a image tag.
Here’s my end result:
<?php query_posts('p=10'); ?> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?> <img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" id="image1" /> <?php endwhile; endif; ?>Works pretty well

In reply to: Tricky layout with targeted menu and iframeHi Andrew, thanks for the suggestions!
What I ended up doing was using that plugin I mentioned above and then looping the pages with a category now added to them. I was able to then code the target in myself like this:
<div class="castmenu"> <ul> <?php if ($new_query->have_posts()) : while ($new_query->have_posts()) : $new_query->the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" target="biobox" class="static"><span class="castthumbnail"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></span><span class="charactername"><?php the_title(); ?></span></a></li> <?php endwhile; else: ?> <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p> <?php endif; ?> </ul> </div> <!-- end castmenu div -->“biobox” in this case being an iframe. So the above code loops page titles and their permalinks, and then opens up said pages in the targeted iframe.
And since it’s looping that category, any new pages added to it will be therefore added to the menu.

In reply to: Tricky layout with targeted menu and iframeI wish I could, and I’m working on the site locally right now.
I did manage to find a plugin that can give pages categories. Do you know off hand how to loop page titles by category in order to create a list of them?

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Adding the player to a different pageHi Hugh,
I came across that thread myself but didn’t really understand the section where you mention how to call the player.
Like for example, where exactly does that bit of code get placed? Like is it enclosed in a php tag and placed where I want the player to show up?
UPDATE: Apparently it is just as simple as dropping it in a php tag. I tried that before but was having no luck, tried it one more time and it worked. No idea what the difference is but I’m glad it’s working now.
Thanks Hugh!
