In reply to: [Redirection] Redirection bustedOK, so I went for broke and since I only had a handful of redirects in place I switched the plugin option for the REST API to Form Request, opened the redirects page to keep that on screen, opened the plugins menu in a new tab, deleted the plugin, wiped the dbs, reinstalled and it worked fine. I then went back in and added the handful of redirects in manually.
This is certainly not an optimal solution by any means so I got lucky that I only had a few to do. I wouldn’t want to export these and try to import them for fear that the problem lied in that table.
Something must have become corrupted. It may be an Avada patch, it may not. It may have nothing to do with Avada. I am not sure but it’s working now and worth keeping an eye on for future development.
Thanks for the helpful insights and the great plugin. I use it on every site we manage/build.

In reply to: [Redirection] Redirection bustedWe use iThemes security and use their recommended settings on ALL of our sites. This one is the only one that we’re having issues with. The one that sets this one apart is that it uses the Avada theme. There’s very little difference in any other way.
Looks like that last push did it. I updated and cleared the cache and it all seems to be working properly now. FYI, the plugin being used in tandem is MaxButtons. We are launching a popup off of a style we put in the button so when you click on it, it triggers Popup Maker.
Not sure if you tend to monitor popular plugins that are used with this one but that one is a really good complement to this since they started messing with the sharing aspect of the button. It lends itself now to just using the button as a button and setting your own triggers and abandoning much of the rest of the plugin.

In reply to: [MaxButtons - Create buttons] new update broke button/sitethe new fix seems to have done the trick. What the original update did (and what this one is still doing sans the error) is removing the ability to naturally float a button on the right hand side. So I created this snippet and dropped it into the content hook of Genesis Simple Hooks (don’t forget to enable shortcodes on the hook). Clearly, you can tweak the margin and position preferences by changing the numbers:
<span style=”z-index: 9999; margin: 6px;right: 10px;object-position: 175px;top: 22%;position: fixed;word-wrap: normal;width: 160px;”>[maxbutton id=”1″]</span>

In reply to: [MaxButtons - Create buttons] new update broke button/siteI believe what we did was we we created a simple container in one of the genesis simple hooks and dropped the short code for the button in there. We’ve done it this way for a few sites and they are all still working. I’m wondering if the button (or container) are butting heads with the popup creator that we have the button launching…..
We tried the social share when you released it originally but we couldn’t, for whatever reason, just get the button to float in a fixed position and have nothing else in the bar. The social share, ironically, wants something in there to share. 🙂

In reply to: [MaxButtons - Create buttons] new update broke button/siteYes! I was using the older version that had social sharing incorporated. I tailored the button and had it floating on the upper right hand side of the screen at a fixed position to do what it does in lieu of any sharing mechanism.
I would either just have it point to a link to a contact page or generate a popup containing a gravity form when pressed.
You would be a total rock star if you could make it so this goes back to working. The sites I have this on (only one broke with this update) LOVE the implementation.

In reply to: [MaxButtons - Create buttons] new update broke button/siteI do but I have the site rolled back to before the update so I don’t know if that will be helpful. Personally, I’d rather not post it publicly. Could I email it to you if you feel it would be helpful?

In reply to: [WP Crontrol] can’t delete cron jobSo it’s mandatory now? You can’t even avoid it? This sucks.
I figured out a way to circumvent it, at least for now. I set it to non-recurring with the next check happening in about two years. At least this buys me time to figure out the problem without worrying about the update taking the site down again…..

In reply to: [MaxButtons - Create buttons] What Happened to a Global Floating Button???let me try dropping the MaxButton shortcode in one of the Simple Hooks and wrapping some CSS around it. That might do the job. I’m kinda surprised that nobody really used the button itself as a locked position float. Sharing buttons are almost ubiquitous and we don’t even use a plugin for them. We plug it in through Cloudflare and call it a day. No need to have that stuff wearing on your own servers when CF will carry the load and inject it on every page so easily.

In reply to: [MaxButtons - Create buttons] What Happened to a Global Floating Button???I USED TO be able to do this before you divorced the two but no longer. I’m trying to drop the short code along with some CSS styling in one of the Genesis Simple Hooks to solve this issue so I don’t need two plugins to do this.
The installation I have in place on another site still works the way it used to – I just can’t modify it. New installations don’t allow for this functionality though….

In reply to: [MaxButtons - Create buttons] What Happened to a Global Floating Button???No, that’s awesome. I think it’s great. If you are able to include specific exceptions (like the page the button points to) that would be even better. But the button that I built in THIS plugin (MaxButton) cannot be placed in that sharing float – which is why this question started. MaxButton enabled you to create a great little custom button. I just want to float that on the right hand side of every page on the site (potentially every page except the one that the button links to)

In reply to: [Sticky Menu & Sticky Header] Doesn’t support short codes?unfortunately I cannot yet since it’s in development. We used https://wordpress.org/plugins/maxbuttons/ to create a button that is shortcode driven. It used to be no problem sticking it to the page globally but since the update that’s messed up. Right now, the only way to use these buttons now is to actually drop the shortcode somewhere on the page – which is not what I’m trying to do
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Sticky Menu & Sticky Header] Doesn’t support short codes?Maybe I approach this from a different direction. I’m trying to put a button that floats at the same spot on every page of the site (except maybe one) that drives users to a particular page (get a quote, make an appointment, etc). Is there any way to do this with Sticky Menu? All I need is a customization element that will stay put all the time.

In reply to: [MaxButtons - Create buttons] Exclude display of button on certain pagesAhhhh, that’s unfortunate. Well, that feature has my vote if you guys are road mapping. There are lots of pages that are inappropriate for share buttons to show up on (i.e., login pages, error pages, attachment pages, etc). Could be a useful feature.

In reply to: [Advanced Editor Tools] Error messageI’m getting this:
A stylesheet file named editor-style.css was not added by your theme. To use this option, add editor-style.css to your theme or a child theme. Enabling this option will also load that stylesheet in the editor.
I have no idea if I just create an empty .css and name it editor-style.css or what. And where do I drop it exactly?
