In reply to: Elementor not loading due to pluginI’ve encountered that problem with elementor as well. I’ve found that refreshing the browser will often permit you continue.
WORKAROUND:
“Yoast duplicate post” released a new update, and the two plugins appear to be fighting. Deactiveate the Yoast plugin, and Elementor seems to be working. I imagine we can reactiveate the Yoast plugin after this gets ironed out.

In reply to: [Postie] How do I remove/prevent image nameFor those interested, you can eliminate this issue if you paste the image into your Outlook email instead of drag-n-drop from a picture on your drive.

In reply to: [Postie] How do I remove/prevent image nameOk. I see if I can work something else out.

In reply to: [Postie] How do I remove/prevent image nameUpdate:
I resolved the issue with the missing tables – my ISP required DB prefix + the length of the missing table names were too long for mySQL. Now the tables are created fine. Still can’t run a scan, though.
I have: uninstalled Wordfence, Deleted it from the plugin folder, removed all of the wf tables from my DB, tried reinstalling every available version of Wordfence back to 3.6.7. Rinse and repeat.
No scan, no error in the php log files.
Ideas, anyone?

In reply to: Alternatives to posting PHP codes in posts or pagesYet one more way to do this — since that php script only needs to be run once, put it on a private page and run it – cut and paste the output to your ‘customers’ page.
Only run the script when the customer list changes.

In reply to: Alternatives to posting PHP codes in posts or pagesVery nice page!
I can see several ways to do this, but what you have might be the most elegant.
First way is to simply add the individual thumbnails to a page using the ‘Add Media’ button, and link each thumbnail to it’s static page. You insert each logo in title order – but adding a new logo is painful if it’s in the middle of the page.
Another possibility might be to use a gallery plugin. I have not used one of these, but it looks like it may be able to handle the logo display and page linking that you need.
Neither of these require php code on the page.

In reply to: Alternatives to posting PHP codes in posts or pagesI guess it all depends on what you intend to display on the ‘sample’ page.
WordPress is a nice system, but it cannot anticipate the needs of every possible user. Plugins exist to meet more specialized needs of individual users.
Is it simple HTML or must you calculate some result and display that? Does the result change depending on who is looking at it?
In my case, I must determine if the browser in use is FireFox version greater then 18, and display a PDF warning, or nothing at all if any other browser is used. I have a number of places on my site that need it. I write one copy of the php code, and reference it as many times as I need by placing a shortcode in my page that looks like this:
[otw_is sidebar=otw-sidebar-1]
Can you share a link so we can see more of what you have in mind?

In reply to: Alternatives to posting PHP codes in posts or pagesI use two plugins to allow php code via shortcode in a page or post.
First, is ‘Executable PHP widget’ which is much like the text widget,
And second is ‘Widgetize pages Light’ which essentially creates a new sidebar that you can place in a page or post via shortcode.This prevents any poster from inserting php code in my pages and running it, as the only exposure in the page is a predetermined sidebar widget shortcode.
I hope this addresses your issue.
Check with your ISP to find out if PHP has been upgraded lately. The latest php releases whine about all sorts of things that were OK before.
Please note that all of the output has been Warning: messages. These might or might not be important, but you can probably get back to a functioning site pretty quickly.
You can suppress Warning messages in php.ini, .htaccess or index.php Check with your ISP on which is appropriate for your situation.
It’s also possible that you have turned on error reporting in one of your other plugins (that’s what happened to me).
Bottom line: you can turn those errors off if you want.
