In reply to: [WooCommerce] Emails won’t send once tracking note is addedThanks for all your help Dan.
Neither Shipworks or the webhost could tell me why this was happening.
I ended up uninstalling the WP Mail SMTP plugin and installing the Easy WP SMTP plugin found here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/
And now it just works. I’ll take it, but I still wish I knew what the problem was…

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Emails won’t send once tracking note is addedHi Dan, thanks for your response.
I don’t see anything different about the headers in the mail log. I looked there initially hoping to find a clear-cut answer.
Also I don’t have a multisite install or more than one site in the database. I do have a staging site, but Shipworks isn’t set to speak to that install.
I’m going to try disabling plugins to see if that helps, and I’ll also try a different SMTP plugin and see if that can override any wrong info coming from Shipworks – although I just don’t see anything wrong with the info we have plugged into Shipworks. Very curious.

In reply to: [Redirection] Hacked through your pluginIs it possible there was some other vulnerability, or another “way in” which just allowed the hackers/bot to get access to the redirection plugin?
Heck, I don’t know…
Either way, maybe try reporting this to someplace like Wordfence:
https://www.wordfence.com/contact/
Even if you don’t use their product, you can give them the details. They will likely test it themselves and if nothing else they send out alerts to a pretty wide email list. Something like that might likely get the developer’s attention.
Thanks for reporting this though!

In reply to: [Portal] Mix-up with different "Portal" themeOk thanks, that’s a good idea.
Like I said I have no idea what can and can’t be done, but at least you have pointed me to somewhere the issue can hopefully be addressed or put to bed.

In reply to: [Portal] Mix-up with different "Portal" themeI have no idea what else could be done. I have no idea how they implement this.
They couldn’t check the author and author’s url along with the theme name? That would have likely prevented this update trigger. Can’t each theme in the WPORG have some sort of assigned numerical ID, which if it is NOT reported (as it wouldn’t be for themes not in the repository) then it doesn’t match?
I don’t know if that’s feasible since I don’t know the underlying mechanics of how the WPORG works.
Again, luckily I was just horsing around with new themes, so I’m not burned by this at all. Sorry for your experience, but you’ve now confirmed that this happened more than once and will likely keep happening.
I’m certainly not worried for myself, but for others who may pay the price for trusting the upgrade notification. Saying “well, you shoulda checked before you upgraded” is fine but I can say almost the same thing back to wordpress “You shoulda checked more thoroughly before saying this theme has an upgrade ready”.
However, since I admittedly know nothing about the procedures of WPORG, I have no choice but to believe you. If you say nothing can be done, then nothing can be done.

In reply to: [Portal] Mix-up with different "Portal" themeHi esmi,
No apology necessary. I’m not really upset about it, since no real damage was done.
Still, there has to be something to be done about it. As you say, it’s completely unrelated, and yet WordPress flags it as needing to be updated, and then DOES the update, even though it’s completely different. That’s not ok.
I can’t say I know how to do it better, but if all it’s doing is checking the name I’m surprised this hasn’t happened before, and it will likely happen to someone else who doesn’t know enough to do their testing on either localhost or a staging domain.
Again as you say, there’s nothing you can do about someone naming their theme the same as another, so I would hope some other sort of check will be ran against the installed themes to make sure it is indeed the same one.
I have to believe there is something to be done about WordPress making a false upgrade notification that could wipe out someone’s site if they weren’t careful.
I blindly trusted WordPress on this one and hit the update button without checking, so that was my fault. If I would have checked the release notes I would have seen it was different. I certainly won’t do that again.

In reply to: [Photospace Gallery] No titles under imagesHi Dean,
yes, but I had to add in the
‘ . $image_title . ‘
code myself in wp-content/plugins/photospace/photospace.php
on two lines (611 and 616) in order to have them appear.
Is there any kind of template override for this plugin? I’m worried that an update could overwrite my changes to this file.
Ok cool, but for now I was able to work around it.
I just put in a link at the very top of the description field, except I don’t place any anchor text (nothing in between the tags).
This link will then be used as the “Link to” on the slide.
I can place another link in the description and that link will be left alone. So for now at least there’s a workaround.
Thanks for your response.
Hey cpres, I’m using the default, so I can have the thumbnails.

In reply to: [Cool Video Gallery] [Plugin: Cool Video Gallery] Use licensed JW PlayerThanks Praveen!
I’m trying to get the CVG to recognize my ad solution plugin. I saw this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-plug-ins-to-jwplayer-within-cool-video-gallery?replies=2
but did not quite understand what has to be done within the “cool-video-gallery.php”.
So within the “addPlayerHeader”, I need to scroll down to the “flashParams” section and add the code for the plugin there?
