In reply to: [WP Edit] Will not try this pluginThanks TelB.
It’s a tough road. I will be the first to admit I’ve made mistakes along the way. But each one helps me become a sharper developer.
If i can make it up to you in any way, please feel free to contact me.
(Going to make this as resolved)

In reply to: [WP Edit] Hidden editor notes?Hi there!
What a wonderful idea!!
Unfortunately, at this time, it does not. But I will certainly add it in for the next release.
Thanks so much for the suggestion.
Do you think it needs to be in the post itself; or can it be an additional box (under the content editor)? This way it certainly wouldn’t appear in the published post.
What might be your specific needs for such functionality? Providing me with any specifics will help me make it a more robust feature.
Thanks again! I look forward to your response.
Hello, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
Well, I’m confused.
You say you have two sites setup that use WP Edit… but then you mention both sites are using WP Edit Pro??So… if the issue is with WP Edit, you are in the right place! Please continue, and please provide a little clarification so I may understand properly.
If you are using WP Edit Pro.. then I respectfully ask you to join our support forum here:
http://forum.wpeditpro.comI am unable to provide support for the Pro version on these forums. I’m sure you understand 🙂
Thanks; and talk to you soon!

In reply to: [Ultimate TinyMCE] Tinymce receiving 500 errorHey there… sorry for my delay.
I would suggest not using Ultimate Tinymce. It is no longer supported; and is probably not stable on the latest WP releases. Ultimate Tinymce was no longer supported as of WordPress version 3.9.
I would strongly encourage you to abandon Ultimate Tinymce; and switch to using WP Edit:

In reply to: [WP Edit] Bad move… (updated)Lol… Honestly, I couldn’t agree with you more!! +1
However.. in the world of the free WordPress plugin repository… there are certain restrictions we must follow. One of those restrictions is doing our best to ensure a persons website is not susceptible to attacks.
Since you have shown continued interest…. No, WordPress didn’t contact me and specifically tell me I had to remove the php widgets (as they have done in the past with other “features”). I did, however, have two or three users that did express BIG concern with php widgets.
Now that raises the conundrum… “How do you please everyone”? Well, you can’t. We, as software developers in the (free) WordPress community, have to make a decision to bring “balance”. Do we allow the feature and deal with the “concern”… or do we remove the feature and promote safety? In this particular case, I went with the latter.
If it is any consolation; the php widgets were also removed from the pro version of WP Edit. In a survey I created; more users felt it was unneeded than felt it provided extra functionality.
But to sum up.. yes. I agree with you. I don’t need/want anyone holding my hand either. Perhaps a notice at the top of the plugin installation page saying something like “This plugin uses PHP Widgets; which could be manipulated by malicious users.”. But, isn’t that a little “scary”?? Would you install that plugin???
Okay.. I’ll send you a message.

In reply to: [WP Edit] Bad move… (updated)Well… as much as I am sorry it caused you an inconvenience… I really didn’t feel comfortable having something in my plugin that could potentially be used for malicious purposes. I feel it is my responsibility as a plugin author to ensure those types of “attack points” are not available.
Basically, if someone untrusted had access to the PHP widget; they could do something like delete all your server files; install backdoors and trojans; install spyware or malware; the list goes on and on. It is giving a user direct access to running PHP scripts server-side.
It’s really not much code to add PHP widgets. If you are using a child theme; you can throw the functions in there (I will even explain how). But if not, then yes, it would require an additional plugin.
I would love to speak more about this with you. I would suggest getting to know me; so that we can speak more freely.
Talk to you soon.

In reply to: Pictures with linkYou have some kind of right-click disable script. I bet that is interfering with the page load. I’m able to get to the page directly via the html link.

In reply to: Running PHP SQL inside a WP pageHi,
No… it’s not recommended (and would result in erratic behavior.. and probably won’t work anyway) adding PHP inside a post or page.
I would suggest using a child theme.. and then creating a shortcode in your child theme functions.php file.
Then, use the shortcode in your post or page to display the custom content.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Display of custom postTry going to your permalink settings.
Take note of your current permalink setting.
Then, switch it to something new… and save.
Now, switch it back to the original value.. and save again.You should now be able to access your custom post type.
This happens when you don’t flush the rewrite rules after registering a custom post type.

In reply to: [WP Edit] Bad move… (updated)Hi, and thank you for taking the time to leave a rating.
Yes, crippling functionality of a plugin in order to ask for payment to unlock the functionality is definitely not allowed. However, that is not at all what has happened here.
People keep comparing WP Edit with Ultimate Tinymce. Before I get too far into things; I encourage you to read the following article:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-edit-and-wordpress-39-please-read?replies=45That thread contains all the information explaining why Ultimate Tinymce “died” with WordPress 3.9… and the reasoning behind having to create a new plugin.
I did not change the plugin intentionally… rather, I was forced to change the plugin because of the updated WordPress framework that was released in WordPress 4.0.
Which means if I am not mistaken, you must leave the original functionality of WPEdit for those who downloaded your plugin for this functionality. Yes?
Yes. But again, I’ve never removed anything from WP Edit (with the exception of a php widget that caused a security vulnerability). This is not the Ultimate Tinymce plugin. It’s like comparing apples to oranges. Ultimate Tinymce will never work properly with WordPress again… not by my design, but rather because of changes to core WordPress files.
Would it be too much to ask to make WPEdit secure so we can still use it?
WP Edit is, has been, and (as long as I’m alive) always will be stable. I learned a huge lesson with open-source and having to plan ahead to adapt to changes. I had to trash a plugin which had over a million users… and start over from the beginning (with a fairly abrasive audience at times). That was not fun for me.
Again, please read the link I posted above. It will hopefully provide a little perspective from my side of the discussion.
Regardless, I do understand and respect your frustration. It is probably very close to the frustration I felt having to spend six months frantically having to write a new plugin so people would have at least something to fall back on when Ultimate Tinymce was laid to rest. I could have bailed completely.. but I enjoy the WordPress community too much.
Please let me know your thoughts…

In reply to: [WP Edit] Will not try this pluginHiya,
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback.I apologize you feel this way. I have to disagree with your statement about “deliberately crippled”… as I don’t feel this was the case at all. Please, before you make any assumptions, PLEASE, read this topic:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-edit-and-wordpress-39-please-read?replies=45
Perhaps then you can understand the reasoning behind WP Edit.
Again, thank you for your time.

In reply to: [WP Edit] WP Edit causing php fatal errorSounds great. Glad everything is working properly for you. Those guys over at BPS are impressive.
Yes, please keep me in the loop if anything else transpires.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WP Edit] WP Edit causing php fatal errorIt’s no worries at all. I appreciate you being sensitive to the life of a developer.
Just keep us posted. I hate leaving you waiting…. but I really feel the guys over at BPS will have more/better insight into the issue.
If they do determine it’s anything with my plugin; or if you’re unable to find the solution…. I’ll def get involved.
Talk to you soon.
