Thanks @imran and team!
Hallo @williams, thanks for your reaction; the plugin seems to work! I installed it on a test subdomain and no smoke came out, so I’ll add it to the main site as well.
Can I assume that I will be notified when the plugin is no longer necessary? And, in the meantime, can I treat it as any other plugin (I maintain a list of plugins in my site documentation).
Again thanks!
I have exported the form to https://pastebin.com/L7wXNakL under user NL_Derek and title Forminator form.
A brief background: our group aims to make the inner city of Zwolle more climate-friendly and we have a giveaway action for small energy-saving items. This form allows residents of Zwolle to obtain such items gratis (hopefully they will then buy more and make their houses more energy-efficient).
The only required fields are name (Naam) and Email, and you must check the box “Ik woon in de binnenstad van Zwolle” (our offer only applies to residents).
The problem comes with the sections “Bestelling” (Order) and “En Verder…” (Additional requests) where the user may check several boxes. In the email sent to me as Admin the selections all appear on one line separated by commas; I want them on separate lines so that I can read and action them more easily. Therefore the “Value” field of each checkbox item begins with “<br>”.
Until the last release of Forminator this worked; now no more. Hopefully someone can find a workaround.
My suggestion to the Forminator team (if that is appropriate here) is to allow selection of the separator; perhaps a choice between newline and a character string (with default of comma to ensure back compatibility).
@amin Thanks for the suggestion; I tried it but it doesn’t work. It resulted in the inclusion of my field {html-1} in the email but the checkbox Values are still scrunched together in a comma-separated list.
Interestingly the HTML was correctly rendered in the email (it comprises “
<h3>Bestelling</h3><h4>Personalia</h4>“)But a typical Value is “
<br>03.Tochtstrips” which tells me (as webmaster) that the user has checked box #3 in that group, with subject “Tochtstrips”.@patrick I tried
\<br>12.Zonnepanelenand
%lt;br>13.Warmtebeeldcamerabut in both cases the attempted HTML was stripped out; the content of the email was
12.Zonnepanelen, 13.WarmtebeeldcameraNote: I had difficulty pasting those strings into the reply box; the
<br>became a line break and the>was translated into a>. I hope this message survives! (edit: it did!)- This reply was modified 2 weeks ago by NL_Derek.
@patrick interesting idea, I tried it but I got the general error message (specified under Customize Submit Button). I shall try some other escape possibilities and report back.

In reply to: [WPvivid — Backup, Migration & Staging] Old URLs remain after migrationThanks for your reaction Tony. I have regenerated the CSS but the problem is still present. Uploads go to the wrong location. As far as I know I have no redirect or cache plugins.

In reply to: Spurious password reset request@corrinarusso the trick with the inline PNG is to stop simple robots from harvesting your email; 15 years ago I took over a website which was receiving several spams per day (mostly from Nigerian millionaires those days); replacing the existing
mailto:link with a PNG (screenshot of the link) reduced that to a few per week. It has the same aim as writingjohnDOTsmithATcompanyDOTcom, but IMHO looks nicer and is more user-friendly.As to security, I make backups and am reasonably security-aware, but my site is not likely to be a target of anything other than widespread robot-attacks. That is why I was surprised to see what looks like a human attack.

In reply to: [Neve] Automatically set keyboard focus to Search boxIt appears that the latest update (2.9.3) to Neve has fixed the problem. Thanks anyway.

In reply to: Plugin for Tiled submenuGeorge’s suggestion prompted me to investigate other plugins and indeed: Display Post Types has the features I needed: responsive, selectable content, adaptable styling.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Plugin for Tiled submenuThanks George for your suggestion! I tried Genesis Blocks, it’s impressive but not what I need. I cannot scale the images or format the link text; and it doesn’t seem to be responsive (1, 2 or 3 columns depending on screen size). I haven’t yet finished RTFM so I may be premature.
Are there any other plugins with my functionality?

In reply to: [Neve] Automatically set keyboard focus to Search boxHallo Vytis, I added the script and it works on Windows, but not on Android. It’s late so I’ll investigate further tomorrow. But thanks, we’re on the track! Update: it works on my 10″ tablet in landscape but not portrait, and not at all on my 4″ phone; it seems not to work when the menu is a hamburger symbol.

In reply to: [Neve] Automatically set keyboard focus to Search boxI contacted my ISP but they couldn’t help. So I tried to learn a bit about jQuery; I’m still at a very basic level but I think I can understand Vytis’ script and I can’t see what is wrong with it. I have added jQuery to the tags in the hope of attracting other jQuery debugging experts.
The status now: I load jQuery (as per Vytis’ post of 23nov) and run a script (Vytis’ post of 16nov) but the search box doesn’t get focus. The test site is

In reply to: [Neve] Automatically set keyboard focus to Search boxHi Vytis, again thanks for your help. But you are going rather over my head! I don’t really know what jQuery is, and I haven’t dequeued it. I looked on my webhostingserver site but could find nothing which looked like jQuery. I shall ask my service provider how I can enable it.
Anyway I added your new script to the OrbitFox Header Scripts section, followed by your script from 2 weeks ago, but it doesn’t seem to have helped.
I shall post again when my service provider replies.
I thought I had created a user
vytison my test site but apparently I hadn’t. I have now, password is the 10 letters of your website.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Neve] Automatically set keyboard focus to Search boxHi Vytis, thanks for your time and help. I’m afraid it still doesn’t work. Here is what I did:
* Made a new installation with only theme 2020; the search icon worked directly (when I clicked it the search box got focus).
* Installed Neve; default it had a search widget in the right sidebar, this was a Search Form so click and focus are the same thing.
* Removed the widget; no search available.
* Appearance>Customize>Header; in the Header Builder I shrank the Primary menu and added a Search Icon on the right; clicking the icon does not move the focus.
* Installed OrbitFox and your script; no change.Unfortunately I don’t know how to access console.log.
You can see my live site at
https://www.binnenstadduurzaam.nl/(it’s in Dutch, but the Search icon is at top right). Searching onderekshould give two hits.And my test site is at
https://prive.corryderek.nl/wp-test/Feel free to ignore what follows, I don’t want to obligate you in any way!
On the test site I have created a user
vytis, the password being the 10 letters of your website. In a week or two I shall delete the site and/or rebuild it, so if you want you can experiment on it. Mail to the webmaster (page Contact of the live site) comes into my inbox if you want to communicate that way.- This reply was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by NL_Derek.
