I’ll keep my eyes peeled for an update. * > The shortcode should take a user_link value of last_post * Setting the `user_link` value in the shortcode to `last_post` changes the link on the user’s name. What I would like to do is show an _additional_ link underneath the user’s bio, similar to what can be achieved using the widget. * As this functionality is already in place in the widget, perhaps it’d be relatively easy to extend it to the shortcode? * Thanks * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [content errors with https](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-errors-with-https/) * [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-errors-with-https/#post-12246893) * Looking at your site, the problem is that your site is trying to request an insecure stylesheet, e.g. it’s trying to download a file from the HTTP address instead of the HTTPS, and the browser is preventing this. * `Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.ammylamphotography.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'http://www.ammylamphotography. com/wp-content/uploads/pp/static/9d844a13-e150-412d-b8d5-d5c8d455ff8e-1575286917. css'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.` * Looking at that URL, it looks to me as if you are loading a cached stylesheet. Try first clearing the cache (I think it’s the Autoptimize plugin), see if that works. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error establishing a database connection](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-a-database-connection-930/) * [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-a-database-connection-930/#post-12246862) * Your hosting company should be able to help you reset your database password. Usually you can do this yourself via cPanel or whatever panel they use. I don’t think you can do it via phpmyadmin. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Fatal Error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3360/) * [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3360/#post-12246830) * Before anything else, make sure you have the latest version of the plugin installed. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MultilingualPress] Automatic hreflang tags](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-hreflang-tags/) * Thread Starter [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-hreflang-tags/#post-7146892) * For anyone interested, here’s how I did it in the end. * In `functions.php`, * ``` function my_hreflang_tags() { /* * Add hreflang tags to head */ // Get the permalink $the_old_link = get_permalink(); // Create 2 localized versions of the permalink for use in the hreflang tag $the_new_link_gb = str_replace( '/gb', '/us', $the_old_link ); $the_new_link_us = str_replace( '/us', '/gb', $the_old_link ); // Print it out echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; } add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_hreflang_tags', 1 ); ``` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MultilingualPress] Automatic hreflang tags](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-hreflang-tags/) * Thread Starter [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-hreflang-tags/#post-7146890) * Sorry, I have worked out the issue. I was expecting the hreflang meta to show as soon as the plugin was activated, but I see that you have to manually associate posts first. Having over 300 posts, I was hoping to avoid manual work! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MultilingualPress] Automatic hreflang tags](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-hreflang-tags/) * Thread Starter [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-hreflang-tags/#post-7146829) * Thanks for your response, Thorsten. Yes, the theme does call `wp_head()` * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Theme: Arcade Basic] Unable To Change Header Image.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-arcade-basic-unable-to-change-header-image/) * [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-arcade-basic-unable-to-change-header-image/#post-4948128) * The best thing would be to contact the theme developer: [https://themes.bavotasan.com/](https://themes.bavotasan.com/) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Reddle] Making Posts Summary instead of Full Text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-posts-summary-instead-of-full-text/) * [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-posts-summary-instead-of-full-text/#post-4948125) * You will need to replace `the_content()`with `the_excerpt()`in the relevant template. The best way of doing this is to create a child theme: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Posts 2 Posts] One of our favorite plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-of-our-favorite-plugins/) * [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-of-our-favorite-plugins/#post-7804303) * Yeah, I was going to say that too. I think it’ll go alongside ACF. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Custom Post Type Archive links not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-archive-links-not-working/) * [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-archive-links-not-working/#post-2548395) * Assuming you are using 3.1+, have you tried creating “archive-portfolio.php?” from archive.php? Displaying custom posts this way allows paging. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Excerpts not working on custom posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excerpts-not-working-on-custom-posts-1/) * Thread Starter [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excerpts-not-working-on-custom-posts-1/#post-2551585) * Managed to solve this myself. Just in case anyone else is looking for the solution, it’s basically enough to delete the content of the post_excerpt field, and, without content, the excerpt will display correctly. I ran a “search and replace” via mySQL, using this query: * ``` UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE ( post_content, 'Item to replace here', 'Replacement text here'); ``` * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Child theme not referencing images from parent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-not-referencing-images-from-parent/) * [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-not-referencing-images-from-parent/#post-2531419) * Working for me, too. Try clearing the cache or using private mode on your browser. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Footer Bar](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/footer-bar/) * [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/footer-bar/#post-2530891) * You can also use the Chrome browser, which has similar developer tools built- in. If you have problems with layout in Firefox, you’ll likely have problems across all the standards-compliant browsers. Better to start off with a class- A browser, and then add whatever additional hacks for IE later.
