Would like Groundhogg database to automatically store contents of emails that I send from my gmail interface to a Groundhogg contact. Active Campaign offers this through a third party, here is their language from the Settings: “Please note that connecting your email account involves connecting your email to an independent 3rd party, Nylas, Inc., and any content (such as the contents of your email) you send to them will be subject to Nylas’ Privacy Policy and data practices. This is a strictly optional feature and not required in order to use our Services or platform.” * As a less automated way of implementing this, Pipedrive assigns each “deal” an email address (e.g. [accountname+deal-identifier@pipedrive.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaykaybee/replies/accountname+deal-identifier@pipedrive.com?output_format=md)), and users can bcc the deal when emailing a contact (I would also like the option to bcc a contact, not just a deal). Thank you for considering. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Name Directory] 2019-03-17 Feature request for minimal formatting in description box](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2019-03-17-feature-request-for-minimal-formatting-in-description-box/) * Thread Starter [jaykaybee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaykaybee/) * (@jaykaybee) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2019-03-17-feature-request-for-minimal-formatting-in-description-box/#post-11822577) * Thanks Jeroen, that’s a fair offer.

I am still evaluating my options for a long-term project. * In my ideal world, you would allow links in the name itself, because then the user could skim a long list of “names” (in my case, resources), and click on the URL in the name to jump to the resource or to another relevant page. I think this would allow quick browsing and jumping to resources, without having to expand the “more description”. Also, the page that is “jumped to” could have all the formatting we want, whereas the “more description” could remain very lean. * I think though you are pointing to technical difficulties with allowing the name field to contain a link. * I think these are probably surmountable, for example, with an instruction that the first word cannot be a link. * PS those are great pages using multiple directories, I will keep them in mind as examples. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Groundhogg — CRM, Newsletters, and Marketing Automation] Replace Form Builder?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-form-builder/) * [jaykaybee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaykaybee/) * (@jaykaybee) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-form-builder/#post-11815228) * I am new to WordPress and Groundhogg.

It turned into a lot of css to make it look how I wanted. It was a bit of a hairball. * Then I tested using the blog entry capability (standard) of WordPress. This was initially too cumbersome, but then I installed a plugin called Admin Columns Pro, and that was a great improvement because I can edit directly in the backend admin section. So I can add multiple entries from the same (backend admin) interface, quickly. My frustration with using blog entries was that I could not see how to partition out the blog entries for a name index, making it apart from other blog entries. They would show up in searches and when people hit “next entry” etc. * Then I discovered Content Views plugin which allows me to configure blog posts displayed on a page (like Name Directory). And also learned how to use custom menus to put a menu in a sidebar with tags, by category if needed. * Then I used Ivory Search to add a search box confining search to these particular blog posts (by tag or category) * All this allows me to use standard blog posts as the content, and yet display as I desire, while keeping these blog posts partitioned from other displays ( or searches, indexing, etc) of blog posts * See screenshot: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/ddm2m7n47rc1syb/Screenshot%202019-07-17%2014.34.39.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ddm2m7n47rc1syb/Screenshot%202019-07-17%2014.34.39.png?dl=0) * and when you click on a directory item (e.g. the first one in the screenshot above) * [https://www.dropbox.com/s/pcfytgmvdi49ouz/Screenshot%202019-07-17%2014.36.48.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/pcfytgmvdi49ouz/Screenshot%202019-07-17%2014.36.48.png?dl=0) * Now I have to look at whether with all this configuration I have really added much value over Name Directory. I think perhaps not. Your solution is very elegant and simple and does 75% of what I need/want, with one plugin! * My wishes for Name Directory to get to 80 or 90% of my desired functionality would be: allow the titles to have links in them; and allow some formatting in the description (as we were discussing here). * I appreciate your great work! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Groundhogg — CRM, Newsletters, and Marketing Automation] 20190628 Futureproofing Groundhogg](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/20190628-futureproofing-groundhogg/) * Thread Starter [jaykaybee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaykaybee/) * (@jaykaybee) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/20190628-futureproofing-groundhogg/#post-11693668) * Thanks Adrian! I appreciate your response, it’s very reassuring. I’ve installed groundhogg on my dev site and will begin testing it in earnest over the next few weeks. Meanwhile I also forwarded your investor materials/site to an early stage venture capitalist because I do think you are the first mover in what will be a very exciting market as you extend WordPress capabilities further in the direction of ecommerce.

Could one of these be the reason? See [https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-fix-the-sidebar-below-content-error-in-wordpress/](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-fix-the-sidebar-below-content-error-in-wordpress/) * “There is an unclosed div element on the page. It could also be that there is an extra div element being closed on the page which makes it seem like that your sidebar is outside the wrap element.” * I ran my page through the diagnostic they suggested, and it did find unclosed divs: [https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fdevgo.jeffbelkora.com%2Flink-library-test-page%2F%3Flink_tags%3D%26link_price%3D](https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fdevgo.jeffbelkora.com%2Flink-library-test-page%2F%3Flink_tags%3D%26link_price%3D) * Error: End tag div seen, but there were open elements.

From line 763, column 2; to line 763, column 7 * The other issues they cite in this article are: 2. Improper width ratio. If your container width is only 960px, then you have to keep things proportional. For example, content width 600px, and sidebar width 300px with 60px margin between them. * 3. The other issue could be float property. You have to make sure that you add float: left; and float: right to the appropriate elements. If you do not do that, then it will not work. * I do not know how to interpret all of these suggestions. * Please advise, thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Link Library] Using a tag cloud in sidebar with Link Library page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-tag-cloud-in-sidebar-with-link-library-page/) * Thread Starter [jaykaybee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaykaybee/) * (@jaykaybee) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-tag-cloud-in-sidebar-with-link-library-page/#post-11397379) * Yannick, I’ve been experimenting, keep in mind my ignorance here! * 1. When I add the [link-library-filters] shortcode to the WordPress html sidebar widget, somehow this makes the sidebar no longer display as a sidebar, instead it is above the page content. * I tried playing with CSS to change the widths of various elements, that I found by inspecting the page: .linklibrary-filters { width: 60%; } .sidebar-main { width: 70%; } .secondary.widget-area.secondary { width: 60%; } .ast.container{ width: 60%; } * I can control the width of the sidebar using CSS, but the sidebar still appears above the page content. * When I delete the shortcode from the sidebar widget and add text there, the sidebar displays normally next to the page content. * 2. For me, your extensions to the shortcode don’t work as controls. The simple shortcode [link-library-filters] gives me the same output as [link-library-filters includetagids=”57, 58″ tablabel=”Tags” showpricefilters=”false” settings=”1″] – In particular, the price is shown, which I do not desire. * Please advise. I think this is the last barrier to my adoption of this plugin. I will be happy to make a donation. I would prefer if it would work out with this tag-filtering functionality (which is very cool) * Thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Link Library] Using a tag cloud in sidebar with Link Library page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-tag-cloud-in-sidebar-with-link-library-page/) * Thread Starter [jaykaybee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaykaybee/) * (@jaykaybee) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-tag-cloud-in-sidebar-with-link-library-page/#post-11385491) * Hi Yannick, * I’m excited about this functionality. I updated to 6.2.10, correct? * Unfortunately, I’m seeing a couple of issues: * 1. I put the shortcode in an html sidebar widget. Now, the sidebar appears to crowd out the main area, and so the main area (showing the link library itself) appears below the sidebar. Screenshot: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/qh3mo7m15e3qzuy/Screenshot%202019-04-02%2020.43.59.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/qh3mo7m15e3qzuy/Screenshot%202019-04-02%2020.43.59.png?dl=0) – I am guessing this is a problem with the control of the width of the sidebar, perhaps interacting with my theme (Astra). Do you know if I can adjust the width of the sidebar, perhaps using CSS? I “inspected” the page and found there are some elements such as “div.sidebar-main” and “div.textwidget.custom-html-widget”. See screenshot: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/iikqszwqzpubbv3/Screenshot%202019-04-02%2020.47.16.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/iikqszwqzpubbv3/Screenshot%202019-04-02%2020.47.16.png?dl=0)– I realize this may be out of scope for your plugin support, but since I am new to WordPress and not a developer, could you point me to the solution to fix this problem? * 2. Your shortcode options do not suppress the price. I used your suggested shortcode:[ link-library-filters includetagids=”57, 58″ tablabel=”Tags” showpricefilters=” false” settings=”1″] and you can see the screenshot still shows the price: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/qh3mo7m15e3qzuy/Screenshot%202019-04-02%2020.43.59.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/qh3mo7m15e3qzuy/Screenshot%202019-04-02%2020.43.59.png?dl=0) * Thanks again for this plugin! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Link Library] Using a tag cloud in sidebar with Link Library page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-tag-cloud-in-sidebar-with-link-library-page/) * Thread Starter [jaykaybee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaykaybee/) * (@jaykaybee) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-tag-cloud-in-sidebar-with-link-library-page/#post-11381461) * Yannick, thanks, I would like to test this. Given my beginner status, could you give me an example of the syntax – how do I specify the options as I call the shortcode? * Also, where can I find the tag ids? Is it just the name of the tag, or I assume it’s a numeric ID? * Thanks, if this all works out I will contribute a premium donation, this is going to be a great plugin for my needs. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Advanced Excerpt] Including html in bbpress excerpts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/including-html-in-bbpress-excerpts/) * Thread Starter [jaykaybee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaykaybee/) * (@jaykaybee) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/including-html-in-bbpress-excerpts/#post-11381245) * Thanks for checking the bbpress code and clarifying the way forward!
