In reply to: [Dynamic Select for Contact Form 7] Need more details on how to use itThat is an example. You need to create a filter in your functions.php file that will return the choices (based on the example) and then use the hook name you give your filter to set up the field in the form.

In reply to: [Dynamic Recipient for Contact Form 7] Help dynamic field argumentSorry I haven’t replied and that no one else is helping you. This plugin is written by a coder and really does require and understanding of PHP, WP and coding to use. I use this plugin in concert with the two other CF7 addons that I built.
If you’re not much of a coder I would suggest that your first step is to use something other than CF7. Most of the better plugins available, mostly premium plugins, have this type of dynamic functionality built into them.

In reply to: [Dynamic Select for Contact Form 7] Categories to dropdownThat would depend on what clients are and how they are stored. The idea of this plugin is simple, you just need to return an array with the choices. How you generate will require research into how to get your values.

In reply to: [Dynamic Select for Contact Form 7] Create dropdown of site usersNo, I do not have any examples for how to do this specific thing. There is an example that shows the basics of how to dynamically populate the choices. The rest is up to you using WP functions and your own code.

In reply to: [The SEO Framework – Fast, Automated, Effortless.] custom post types?Sybre,
Thanks for taking the time to explain.
Actually, I do use CPT-UI, however, I move the post types to code. When I’m done I want the client to be able to edit only those things that will not cause chaos if they decide one day to go poking around where they shouldn’t be. Yes, I do believe that choices are better than options (the WP “philosophy”) but I also believe that the client should have the options where they need them. My goal when building an admin is to give them complete control over all content while at the same time preventing them from mucking things up.
I completely understand the resources for a free plugin being limited. I have several free plugins and while the scope of those plugins is small, and kept that way for this very reason, even they sometimes tax the limit of my time and ability to look after them.
I’ll probably end up adding something to what I call my company’s “standard features plugin.” Had I realized that this plugin did not provide this I would have done so already, but my coworkers did not bring this to my attention until now. Frankly, I don’t particularly care for most of the other SEO plugins that are available and let’s just say that I developed trust issues with the last one I depended on. I’d probably consider helping to build an extension to do this, but I build admin pages exclusively using ACF simply because it just takes less time. Trust me, I get the limited resources aspect.
I’ll be following the github repo more closely, and you may get some suggestions for additional filters once I start digging through your code.

In reply to: [The SEO Framework – Fast, Automated, Effortless.] custom post types?Here’s the problem with the automatic support. We use ACF and more often then not we do not include the standard editor on custom post types. It’s similar for the title, many time in order to require post titles and as well as require unique post titles, the standard title field is removed and replaced with an ACF field.
I think that this plugin in great and only lacking in 2 things. The first is an admin interface to determine what post types and taxonomies will have the meta boxes added. The second is a place to manage the seo settings for post type archive pages, which also includes the standard posts archive page when it’s not shown on the home page.
While I can do this all with filters and I can add what’s needed using PHP, well, We’d prefer not to need to do this on every site we build or add the custom fields on every site to allow editors to manages archive page seo values. Needing to do so takes control of these things out of the hands of our clients and makes them dependent on us should they need to be changed for some reason.

In reply to: [The SEO Framework – Fast, Automated, Effortless.] Custom Post TypesActually, the filter that was posted appears to add the meta boxes to places it should not in addition to those that it should. For example media. There should be some type of admin to allow specifying what post types should have them.

In reply to: [The SEO Framework – Fast, Automated, Effortless.] custom post types?NM, found the answer in another topic https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-types-263/
Please let me know if the update corrects the problem
Thanks for the bug report. I don’t really keep up with CF7 anymore because I don’t use it on new sites that I build and use something else not. If it wasn’t for the fact that I still have a client using CF7 and the addons that I’ve created for it I’d put them all up for adoption. At any rate, the only way I’m going to know about errors like this is for people like you to let me know when they happen.
I have just pushed an update that I hope will correct this.
thanks,
~JH

In reply to: [Account Engagement] Feature Request-Query StringThat’s where I found the information eventually, going to be honest, I really don’t like this new plugin listing design. It’s confusing and makes it difficult to find anything, but hey, why would I want to find anything.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Account Engagement] Feature Request-Query StringI would still be interested in helping to make improvements to your plugin when it is in the interest of our clients to do so if you make this plugin available for collaboration.

In reply to: [Account Engagement] Feature Request-Query StringIs this plugin on Github? Will you accept a pull request for something like this?
