Also that your plugin will use the full sized image as featured image. One of your 5-star reviews says “This plugin auto generates thumbnails on old posts” which it does not do. * For instance, our posts have an image in the body with a name like “imagename- 300×225.jpg”. This is the thumbnail. When clicked it links to its full size version which is “imagename” at 650×488. Your plugin set the featured image to the full size “imagename”, not the thumbnail used by the post. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [dev site on subdomain prevents admin login to subdomain](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-site-on-subdomain-prevents-admin-login-to-subdomain/) * Thread Starter [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dev-site-on-subdomain-prevents-admin-login-to-subdomain/#post-3643177) * Thank you! That first link worked, but when I tried the tool, it jacked up the site. I noticed this when one of my post images disappeared. I looked in the raw html and the css on the image had a class like “weroizsfjkjwer”–totally random– so I dropped the database, re-imported a fresh copy, changed the two URLS in wp_options and the post image looks fine. * I think that tool, which dates from 12/2011, may not be compatible with recent versions of WP? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Flexi Pages Widget] [Plugin: Flexi Pages Widget] Flexi Pages CSS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flexi-pages-widget-flexi-pages-css/) * [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flexi-pages-widget-flexi-pages-css/#post-1892787) * I just started trying it myself and his instructions did not work, but this works so far: * `.flexipages_widget ul li { padding-left:1px !important; }` * So the !important is required.

I can’t speak for the other themes. Geo Places has complex features that absolutely must be done right or it’s essentially useless if you hope to scale up. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [warning about TEMPLATIC themes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-about-templatic-themes/) * [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-about-templatic-themes/page/3/#post-1598201) * rbhavesh, if you want to gain back some community respect, admit your company’s failures and offer refunds to unhappy customers. You cannot possibly use the piracy excuse to not offer refunds, because the people who want the refunds know the themes do not work for them and certainly not for anyone else if they shared them. I know I can’t wait around for you to fix your company. * If all you do is deny the claims, defend yourself, or make empty promises toward some unknown future, your company is going to sink under the weight of negative press. In fact I plan on writing a long negative review on my personal blog, and I’m sure others will continue to do the same. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [WP plugin like Joomla’s Mosets Tree](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-plugin-like-joomlas-mosets-tree/) * [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-plugin-like-joomlas-mosets-tree/#post-1474019) * Take a look at the upcoming theme called Vantage from [http://appthemes.com/themes/](http://appthemes.com/themes/) * Templatic has very limited support and a non-existent support community, so I would hold off until things improve there. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [warning about TEMPLATIC themes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-about-templatic-themes/) * [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-about-templatic-themes/page/2/#post-1598178) * I bought one of their themes recently because I was impressed by it, but their support forums, which are now open, are more or less deserted. This does not bode well because their official support policy is to not help with theme modifications, no matter how simple. In retrospect, I believe I made a mistake because without the community or developer support, I have to rely on just my own WP skills which aren’t very advanced. * In their support policy they say they will not support: * 1. solving problems for plugins not packaged with our framework and themes 2. plugins integration 3. general WordPress support (please use the WordPress forums for that) 4. adding new features or extending the features currently available 5. changing colors and/or images 6. any type of modification or customization * In other words, you are completely on your own. They are basically saying, “We won’t help you if the most popular plug-ins do not work with our themes; it’s not our fault.” Contrast that to the other theme companies like StudioPress, or a very small one like Simplethemes. The only one I see as reasonable is #3. The guy at Simplethemes, who is literally a one-man shop, responds almost instantly to forum posts and often creates the code modifications himself when people ask for help. If Templatic could get one or two of their developers to do that a couple of times a week, it would put a pulse in their form and bring confidence to customers that maybe these themes are supportable. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Breadcrumb NavXT] [Plugin: Breadcrumb NavXT] two parent categories and breadcrumb sorting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breadcrumb-navxt-two-parent-categories-and-breadcrumb-sorting/) * Thread Starter [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breadcrumb-navxt-two-parent-categories-and-breadcrumb-sorting/#post-1625824) * Thank you for the explanation. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Creating Movie Review Site structure using Custom Post Types and Taxonomies?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-movie-review-site-structure-using-custom-post-types-and-taxonomies/) * [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-movie-review-site-structure-using-custom-post-types-and-taxonomies/#post-1544051) * Hi, thanks for the big reply! I spent many hours in version 2.x trying to figure this out and gave up. Now at best I have one hour a day of quality time to devote to this so it becomes frustrating very quickly. * Using your general guide, here is how far I got in 20 minutes. * 1. Installed fresh WP 3 and CMS press plug-in using XAMMP. 2. Using CMS press, add custom content type called Movie. (Why the author doesn’t just call it a custom post type?) 3. Copy single.php from the default theme to single-movie. php and add some unique output so I know it works. 4. Using CMS press, add taxonomy named movie. * Everything seems to be OK but after I save it, I now see a new section in my admin panel: * Movies –Movies –Add new –Movies * Just seeing “Movies” twice under Movies tells me I made a wrong turn already and am heading toward a cliff, but I click Add new and create a movie called ‘ Batteries Not Included’ and publish it, but when I try to view it, it says Page Not Found. * As best I can tell, the furthest safe step I got to was step 3. * If I had a week off from work to dedicate to this, I might be able to come up with something usable but even with help on the forums I doubt my approach would be as elegant or as logical as one done by, say, one of the WordPress developers. It could be I’d paint myself into a corner and limit myself due to a flawed overall design. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Creating Movie Review Site structure using Custom Post Types and Taxonomies?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-movie-review-site-structure-using-custom-post-types-and-taxonomies/) * [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-movie-review-site-structure-using-custom-post-types-and-taxonomies/#post-1544042) * Let’s start a fund to donate to the person who finally posts a complete solution. I’m putting in US$50. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Creating Movie Review Site structure using Custom Post Types and Taxonomies?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-movie-review-site-structure-using-custom-post-types-and-taxonomies/) * [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-movie-review-site-structure-using-custom-post-types-and-taxonomies/#post-1543965) * I am hoping for help with something like this too. I tried to ask like you are back before 3.0 and never got a satisfactory response. Let’s hope that with 3.0’ s features someone more familiar with it will lead us down the right path… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Structure restaurant review site in WP?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/structure-restaurant-review-site-in-wp/) * Thread Starter [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/structure-restaurant-review-site-in-wp/#post-1336596) * No, I never made it work just how I wanted. I did find the plug-in [Yet Another Related Posts Plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/) which allowed me to show related posts that were in the same two categories ( e.g, other posts belonging to the categories ‘New York’ and ‘Steak Houses’). That actually worked in a limited fashion. * I understand that WP 3.0 (due April’10?) will offer far better support for custom post types which may help with this problem. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Show other posts in same two categories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-other-posts-in-same-two-categories/) * Thread Starter [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-other-posts-in-same-two-categories/#post-1345071) * I did find that the [Yet Another Related Posts Plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/) has a feature for showing related posts that only appear in two or more of the same categories. That’s one limited way of accomplishing what I want to do, though I cannot specify which categories. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Structure restaurant review site in WP?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/structure-restaurant-review-site-in-wp/) * Thread Starter [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/structure-restaurant-review-site-in-wp/#post-1336524) * I just learned about category templates which look very handy, but I can’t figure out how I would use them on a site structured like the above. * If I click the “Chinese” child category under “Cusine” parent on the hierarchy of categories, I would want to be able to show a list of cities at the top of the category page that are also in the “Chinese” category. In that case I believe I would have to loop through all posts in the Cities category and discover whether they also belonged to the Cuisine/Chinese category, then display them. * I’ll keep searching. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [display child category name and link to cat page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-child-category-name-and-link-to-cat-page/) * [Pru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/) * (@pru) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-child-category-name-and-link-to-cat-page/#post-1268524) * In terms of simply spitting back the name of a child category, would you say your code is more efficient than the code I found over here? * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/284057?replies=12](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/284057?replies=12) * ``` cat_name; }} ?> ``` Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 23 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pru/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
