W3C is pretty anal on containment rules, and WordPress has it’s own constrains.( I’ve written elsewhere about this.) Sliding Notes do the best they can to correctly render ANY content that you put inside, such that it looks good on screen, for the actual visitors on which your website success depends – even if that inserting that content into a note would violate W3C containment rules. * Bottom line: This “issue” is not an issue with Sliding Notes, and can’t be resolved on Sliding Notes’ end. If W3C purity is imperative to you, and you can’t simplify your note content, I recommend you try to find another solution. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Hackadelic Sliding Notes] [Plugin: Hackadelic Sliding Notes] Javascript not getting inserted in footer, thus plugin not workin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-sliding-notes-javascript-not-getting-inserted-in-footer-thus-plugin-not-working/) * Plugin Author [hackadelic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hackadelic/) * (@hackadelic) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-sliding-notes-javascript-not-getting-inserted-in-footer-thus-plugin-not-working/#post-1979446) * Thu plugin does work for me with twenty ten.

Modifying the post before it is stored is problematic in a whole bunch of ways. Hence it would have to store the data in extra database storage, but then it would have to perform an **extra query at post render time** to retrieve that data, and **that** would add to CPU load even more. (Database queries are usually amongst the most expensive in terms of performance). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Hackadelic SEO Table Of Contents] Queries on post-view, when there’s no TOC included](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-seo-table-of-contents-queries-on-post-view-when-theres-no-toc-included/) * [hackadelic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hackadelic/) * (@hackadelic) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-seo-table-of-contents-queries-on-post-view-when-theres-no-toc-included/#post-1370286) * The plugin needs to first **collect** the headers of the post before it can display them in a freely positional toc box. Hence it queries the post/page content unconditionally, but only in singular view (when there’s only a single post/page shown). * There is no other way. Even to scan the content for a “[toc]” shortcode first, it would have to query it nonetheless. * However, the plugin does not do any extra database queries. It processes already retrieved content, so it should not really create any significant overhead in terms of CPU load. * On the other hand, I see little sense in reducing CPU load by all means, “out of principle”. If you have enough CPU power, it would be a waste not to use it.( The opposite extreme is, to reduce CPU load by 100%, you’ll have to stop using the computer.) In my experience, today’s servers all have plenty of CPU power to cope with a couple of dozens, or hundreds, WP plugins. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Hackadelic SEO Table Of Contents] [Plugin: Hackadelic Table Of Contents Boxes] License erro](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-seo-table-of-contents-plugin-hackadelic-table-of-contents-boxes-license-error-on-admin-page/) * [hackadelic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hackadelic/) * (@hackadelic) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-seo-table-of-contents-plugin-hackadelic-table-of-contents-boxes-license-error-on-admin-page/#post-1273115) * Fixed * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Hackadelic Series] Automatically displays “this is part of a series” in excerpt](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-series-automatically-displays-this-is-part-of-a-series-in-excerpt/) * [hackadelic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hackadelic/) * (@hackadelic) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-series-automatically-displays-this-is-part-of-a-series-in-excerpt/#post-1252867) * Hey, I didn’t expect a donation, if that’s what you assumed. 😮 * Yes, I found it strange that you repeat issues from other threads and specifically point out that “the author is not currently offering support” (which would have been perfectly clear from the other threads, too). It made the impression as if you were “disappointed” for not getting **free** support to aid a **for-profit** project of yours, which just felt… not right. But I was obviously misled by you talking about a “**client’s** site”. Never mind. * I think it’s great that you make donations on a regular basis. It is common consensus among open source developers that the donations they receive are far below the effort they put into their open source work. It’s good to know there are people like you who help raise the standard. * Nonetheless, what you call “issues” with my plugin, are either deliberate decisions( like where the series listing goes, which you are free to dislike), or most likely theme issues (like the “takes over the excerpt text” thing, whatever that means, that obviously does not manifest on other sites, or it would have come up much earlier). So while it sounds very innocent that you are “just letting everyone know what’s up”, it really is **disinformation**. * A friendly advice at the end: You would very much increase your chances of getting your issues solved (by whomever) if you described them more accurately. (It will also show that you respect the supporters time – so they don’t need to spend it on guesswork.) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Hackadelic Series] Automatically displays “this is part of a series” in excerpt](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-series-automatically-displays-this-is-part-of-a-series-in-excerpt/) * [hackadelic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hackadelic/) * (@hackadelic) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-series-automatically-displays-this-is-part-of-a-series-in-excerpt/#post-1252814) * Digigirl, you are definitely free to choose whatever plugins you like. I wonder though [what open source support is worth to you](http://hackadelic.com/what-is-open-source-support-worth-to-you), especially when you are using a plugin in a commercial project of yours, [like it is the case now](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hackadelic/replies/313328?output_format=md)? * Do you have any idea about the effort it takes to track down and fix an issue, especially when its description is as imprecise and unreproducible as your 1st one here? (Hint: Have a look at my own category listing and you’ll see that there is no issue on my site. But most of the time the “issues” reported to me are really issues with themes and/or other plugins anyway. *sigh*) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Hackadelic SEO Table Of Contents] question and feature request](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-seo-table-of-contents-question-and-feature-request/) * [hackadelic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hackadelic/) * (@hackadelic) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-seo-table-of-contents-question-and-feature-request/#post-1193737) * Wow, so I had a solution to your problem before you even had the problem?!? * Am I good or what? 😉 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Hackadelic Series] No “this is part of a series” link on post page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-series-no-this-is-part-of-a-series-link-on-post-page/) * [hackadelic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hackadelic/) * (@hackadelic) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hackadelic-series-no-this-is-part-of-a-series-link-on-post-page/#post-1220248) * Sorry about the commenting problems.

Nope. That’s because this plugin doesn’t provide one (yet). Instead, as the post you are referring to here thoroughly explains, I decided to enable collaboration with another plugin, Serial Posts, which provides a similar shortcode. (I can’t say though whether their shortcode fits your purpose or not.) * I plan to add several shortcodes in a future version of the plugin. When this will happen depends on what my time permits (which is very scarse these days). * PS Sorry about the “false spam postives” annoyance.
