I do not have time to look at the code changes needed anytime soon. So sorry. If someone else comes up with a solution I will happily evaluate it. * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Catablog not creating categories and other issues](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/catablog-not-creating-categories-and-other-issues/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/catablog-not-creating-categories-and-other-issues/#post-12183334) * [@luckyluca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luckyluca/), at first glance it seems that your description would work because it is quoted, but I’m also curious if removing the commas or the smart apostrophe would fix your problem? This doesn’t seem to be a specific issue in CataBlog, maybe the PHP CSV parser… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Catablog not creating categories and other issues](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/catablog-not-creating-categories-and-other-issues/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/catablog-not-creating-categories-and-other-issues/#post-12157313) * Please try with CataBlog 1.7.0. I just tested it on my WP 5.3 installation and it worked fine, including making categories. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Nonce error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nonce-error-3/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nonce-error-3/#post-9887210) * It sounds like the Flash Uploader is broken for some. Since Chrome comes with its own version of Flash built-in, this explains the different browser behaviors. * I think the real fix is the new HTML5 Uploader that will be coming very soon. It won’t require Flash and instead will send the nonce directly via XHR. This is much simpler than Flash’s proprietary tcp protocols, and should fix the problem. * In the meantime, please disable the Flash Uploader if it doesn’t work for you.

Are you using a shared hosting provider? or do you have a VPS? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Catablog now working erratically](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/catablog-now-working-erratically/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/catablog-now-working-erratically/#post-6860893) * Sounds to me like WordPress core changed how it sorts by default, thus you are now being forced to set the sort parameter to `date`. Thanks for posting your findings, I hope it helps other CataBlog users. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Inconsistent Import Results: Categories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inconsistent-import-results-categories/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inconsistent-import-results-categories/#post-5527463) * I have one other question, do you reset CataBlog or check the “Replace All Data” checkbox between your imports? If not, then your importing new categories on top of other categories, which possibly do or don’t exist. Now CataBlog is suppose to handle this gracefully, but it is possible that by importing multiple times over the same file you have found a bug. * Any help in figuring this out would be appreciated, thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Inconsistent Import Results: Categories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inconsistent-import-results-categories/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inconsistent-import-results-categories/#post-5527402) * Hi ddach69, * Since I am unable to reproduce your problem, will you please post a snippet of CSV that exhibits the problematic behavior you are seeing. Thanks. * Zach * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Catablog not appearing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/catablog-not-appearing/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/catablog-not-appearing/#post-5465620) * I would try to reset CataBlog, but before you do that: * You can export the catablog library from within the CataBlog Options, when doing this make sure to check the exported file actually contains your library data. Also, don’t forget to copy the images from your `wp-content/uploads/catablog` directory too. * After you have a complete backup, then, simply reset CataBlog in the CataBlog Option’s Systems tab and import your previous export. * Read more about importing and exporting at [Importing and Exporting Catalog](http://catablog.illproductions.com/documentation/importing-and-exporting-catalogs/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Trouble uploading pictures](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-uploading-pictures-9/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-uploading-pictures-9/#post-4911359) * So, you could upload images in the past? * What was the last version of CataBlog that worked for you? Did you change upload methods, from standard to flash or vise verse? Anything else you can tell me about this error, as it is fairly generic and I cannot tell what is causing it. * Also, if this is a javascript error, have you tried using a different web browser? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] [Plugin: CataBlog] Catablog Pages Not Longer Working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-catablog-catablog-pages-not-longer-working/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-catablog-catablog-pages-not-longer-working/#post-3066220) * If you are getting 404 errors on public catablog pages then you should first check your permalink settings, and make sure they are not set to default. I believe this is documented at [http://catablog.illproductions.com](http://catablog.illproductions.com). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Auto height of image thumbnails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-height-of-image-thumbnails/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-height-of-image-thumbnails/#post-3659417) * Another option would be for you to check the “keep aspect ratio” option in your catablog thumbnail options. At least then the entire image will be visible in all your thumbnail, but they won’t all have the same width. * Hope that helps 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Photo pop up frame extra small on mobile devices](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/photo-pop-up-frame-extra-small-on-mobile-devices/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/photo-pop-up-frame-extra-small-on-mobile-devices/#post-3694544) * It could have to do with many different factors, including: * – The padding/margins of the body tag – The aspect ratio of the images you are uploading – The final calculated resolution of the site on the mobile device * I would recommend trying another theme or modifying your current theme. Another solution would be to hack the catablog-lightbox.js file in CataBlog. The problem with the later solution is that any updates will overwrite your changes. * Good luck and let me know if you interested in more specific instructions on hacking catablog-lightbox.js. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] Getting On-Screen Error after Plugin Update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-on-screen-error-after-plugin-update/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-on-screen-error-after-plugin-update/#post-3731881) * Hi mansfilms1, * Are you still able to load the CataBlog Options in Admin? If so, make sure you have the excerpt length set to a number in the Description section of CataBlog Options. Let me know if that fixes your problem and have a wonderful day. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[CataBlog] no option useless](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-option-useless/) * Plugin Author [macguru2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macguru2000/) * (@macguru2000) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-option-useless/#post-7754800) * Javascript implemented alt text won’t be read by search spiders, meaning no real SEO benefits…I would recommend utilizing one of the other fields (product code) for your alt text. Just use the %PRODUCT-CODE% token in your catablog template.
