In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] Social Icons Still No Displaying CorrectlyHi, @feastingnotfasting.
Thanks for the update, and great to hear you fixed this.
You asked about caching. It is possible to use caching with Simple Social Icons. If your icons disappear after reactivating your caching plugin, there are a few things worth checking:
– Your cache needs to be cleared when upgrading from Simple Social Icons 1.x to 2.x.
– If you use an offsite caching service such as CloudFlare, that cache needs to be cleared too.
– If you use a caching plugin with a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that does not send CORS headers, you may need to take some extra steps before the icons will load:
If your CDN is the issue, you will see blank spaces where your icons should be and warnings about ‘cross origin requests’ in your browser console. There are two ways to fix this: you can ask your CDN service to add a CORS header, or you can add an exclude rule for the icon file in your plugin’s caching settings. (This will cause it to load from your own domain instead of the CDN.) The icon file is usually located at:
wp-content/plugins/simple-social-icons/symbol-defs.svgSo that’s what you would enter into the exclude field in your CDN settings if available.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] CORS not allowed on public server – alternativeHi, @skippywp. Do you still need help with this?
If so, you could explore the following options:
– Serve your SVG icon files from the same domain as the rest of your site if possible. (By correcting your WordPress site domain in Settings → General to match your server’s virtual host domain, or by excluding the icon file in your CDN/caching rules if it’s currently served from a CDN.)
– Ask your host to set up the CORS header for a limited set of filetypes only. There’s an example of this here: https://github.com/copyblogger/simple-social-icons/issues/48#issuecomment-270922786
– Consider switching to a host who can set up a CORS header for you.

In reply to: [Genesis Simple Share] Unable to post to LinkedInHi, @alexibbb
Are your posts publicly accessible? If a login is required to view them, that can result in blank titles or content when you click share. (LinkedIn needs to be able to crawl the page to read the content.)
If your site is very new and the domain name has not propagated fully yet that could also explain this. (Waiting 24-48 hours should give LinkedIn time to find the site in this case.)
If that doesn’t help, please feel free to link to a post where the issue is visible.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] Shortcode?Thanks for the feature request! I’ve logged this here: https://github.com/copyblogger/simple-social-icons/issues/50
For now, you could consider adding an “after entry” widget area to your theme, then adding the Simple Social Icons widget to that area so it appears at the foot of every post. Here’s an example of how to do that with a Genesis child theme: https://amethystwebsitedesign.com/add-genesis-after-entry-widget-to-pages-and-custom-post-types/

In reply to: [Genesis Simple Edits] Footer copyright shortcode in widgetHi Cemal
To get shortcodes to work in text widgets, you’ll need to add this line to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );If your previous theme had this modification and you recently switched themes, that could explain why it’s stopped working.
Hi, @craftsman107.
It sounds like something is overwriting or corrupting your
rewrite_rulesentry in thewp_optionstable. Simple URLs stores the/go/redirect rule there. If it’s removed or altered it could prevent the redirect from working.I can’t reproduce this on my own sites after saving a post, so it could relate to another plugin you’re using. You could try disabling all other plugins, then saving permalinks and saving a post to see if the redirects remain.
Great to hear that solved things for you!
You should not have to redo this very often – it’s most common after a site migration, database change, or when altering your site’s address.
Future versions of WordPress may remove the requirement to save permalinks after changes like this, but it’s the first thing to try if you do happen to see it again.
@craftsman107 Have you tried resaving permalinks?
With Simple URLs installed and active:
1. Visit Settings → Permalinks.
2. Click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page. (You don’t need to make any changes.)
3. Check your Simple URLs again.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Genesis Responsive Slider] The pictures in the slider dissappearedHi, Kevin. I replied to your email about this. The slider images and content are appearing on your site for me. Happy to help you troubleshoot this further if needed.

In reply to: [Genesis Connect for WooCommerce] 0.9.9 breaks our mobileSure, you’re welcome to download the previous version here:
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/genesis-connect-woocommerce.0.9.8.zip
But the taxonomy.php file in all previous versions also includes the
genesis()function call, so you may see the same issue. Have you activated or upgraded any other plugins recently?> It literally breaks the store functionality on mobile alone.
It does sound like a plugin may be bypassing Genesis to present a different theme on the mobile version. It would be worth disabling plugins to see if the issue clears. You’re welcome to send a link to your site if you’d like further help debugging this.

In reply to: [Genesis Connect for WooCommerce] 0.9.9 breaks our mobileHi, @sirlanceohlot.
Genesis Connect requires that a Genesis child theme is active.
Are you using a plugin that bypasses the theme when displaying your site to mobile users? That is one possible source of this error. If so, you could:
– Look into using a fully responsive theme instead of a mobile plugin.
– Exclude your WooCommerce pages from the mobile plugin (WPTouch and similar plugins often have an ‘exclude pages‘ feature)Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Genesis Tabs] Untested with Genesis Executive Pro@katrinastarkweather I’m able to use Genesis Tabs with Executive Pro and WordPress 4.7+ in my tests.
If you encounter a specific issue with Genesis Tabs and Executive Pro that leads you to believe the two are incompatible, please feel free to report it here – I’d be happy to take a look.

In reply to: [Genesis Responsive Slider] Next / Previous Buttons Won’t Work…note: when clicking on the next/previous button it adds the # and also scrolls me to the very top of the page.
It sounds like the page’s JavaScript is failing to load correctly for you. Since it works for you in Edge but not in Chrome (but works for me in Chrome), it’s possible a browser extension or caching issue is affecting page load.
You could try:
1. Viewing the page in a private browser window. (This disables browser extensions by default.)
2. Clearing all caches via your Chrome preferences.
3. Checking your browser console for errors relating to the
jquery.flexslider.jsscript, or errors that appear when you click the buttons.I’ve tested your site on two devices in Chrome and can’t reproduce the issue, though (the arrow buttons work well for me), so it may be specific to your machine.
Hi, @fearthemoose. Do you have Genesis or a Genesis child theme active? You’ll need to activate the theme first and then activate Simple Sidebars.

In reply to: [Genesis Responsive Slider] Next / Previous Buttons Won’t Work…@bobbybrown235 The buttons function for me in Chrome.
Do you mean that you cannot see the buttons at all? If so, they only appear at larger browser widths (above 1200px). You could adjust your theme’s stylesheet if you’d like them to appear at narrower widths.
This is the code you’d need to remove or move to a different media query:
.content #genesis-responsive-slider .flex-control-nav, .content #genesis-responsive-slider .flex-direction-nav li a, .content #genesis-responsive-slider .flex-direction-nav li a.prev { display: none; }
