Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: google fonts loadingAs I said, I am experimenting with block theme. The site in my profile is the “public” one, is an old implementation and uses a classic theme (tesseract). To experiment, I am using the free hosting at infinity.com, and it was my intention to try to move that public site to a block theme. In this test environment I am using WP 6.5.2 and Frost theme. Since it works in your test, maybe in my case there is some incompatbility with one or more plugins. PLease don’ forget I am really a roookie trying to learn…

In reply to: google fonts loadingSorry for the late answer, I am in Italy and we are not properly sunc’ed as far as the time is concerned.
Thanks for your interest. The procedure suggested by @gappiah is the one I tried in 2), and unfortunately I have to confirm it does not work in Frost, whereas it seems to work , for example, in twenty-twentythree. So what proposed by @corrinarusso of asking the question to the Frost support seems the way to go. I chose Frost because it was simpler, so more suitable for experimenting, but apparently I was wrong.
Thank again for your help

In reply to: [Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnails] plugin in block themeThank you again for your patience. As I wrote in my other message, I tried to insert the widget in a sidebar. The process went as follows:
- generate a sidebar with Content Aware plugin
- select appearance –> widget and add Recent post with thumbnails widget (legacy widget) into this sidebar
- modify what is needed in the widget and update
with this method, the list of posts is indeed displayed, with some differences with respect to the “old” site:
1 the title appears on the right of the thumbnail without any formatting (in the old site it appear above the image in blue and bigger font size)
2) the thumbnails are smaller and it seems that changing width and heigth has no effect, they remain small
With these caveats the plugin is useable. Curiously, the plugin displays the list like the other plugin (Ultimate…).
Again, this is only for your information. I keep looking for other similar plugins, but for the moment it’s ok. Thanks again for your interest.

In reply to: [Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnails] plugin in block themeThanks again, but maybe I was not clear. In the original site (the one withnclassic “tesseract” theme) the plugin works. Since in the plugin details it is written “Although the plugin is built only for widget areas users reported that it works in Elementor and works in Oxygen. … Please let me know in which page builder you were able to use the plugin successfully” it seems it also works in SiteOrigin. This was only for info purposes, no need to analyse anything. In any case, it does not seem to work in WP native (block) page editor.
Thanks again for your patience

In reply to: [Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnails] plugin in block themeYes, in fact I stuffed it in a sidebar and then insert the sidebar in the column. (via short code). And in this way I got the list of posts, but without the thumbnails and formatting of the title. Using ultimate…and inserting the shortcode in the column, I got everything but there is no formatting on text or title. Here probably I need to use some css, but you must have guessed I am a rookie trying to learn something.
I can provide you with the link to the previous site where I used the plugin. THis site uses a classic theme (tesseract) and siteOrigin as page builder. This is an “old” site (that is the reason why I am thinking to upgrade to a block theme), where the plugin works fine. If you access the site, you can see the plugin widget inserted in a column of siteOrigin in the home page (please forgive the amateurish flavor of the site, it was one of my first attempts…).
If you need admin acccess let me know. Thank you for your help.

In reply to: Unwanted popupThank you very much. I disabled all plugins and the ad did indeed disappear. Now I am reenabling them one by one, getting rid of the ones I think I don’t need anyway (you know I am really a rookie so inserted some plugins in the process of building the site without actually using them) and until now the ad has not popped out yet. Thanks a lot.
I don’t know if anyone is interested, but I found the solution for redirection after login with popup login created with login/signup popup plugin. The solution is buried in the loginWP (Peter’s redirect) documentation. After you define the redirection rules with loginWP, you have to define the redirect url in login/signup popup plugin as
https://yoursite.tld/?loginwp_link_redirect=true
obviously replacing the yoursite.tld with your domain address.
Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I am not that advanced to use javascript, so since fraugefahr managed to make it work without javascript, I thought there was some mistake in my approach. I really don’t know why it doesn’t work, since the test setup is really simple. Hope that fraugefahr will clarify exactly what he has done to make it work.
Thank you anyway.
I consider myself a rookie, so I may be missing something essential here, but for me things do not work. In my test, I used Members plugin to define two roles (role1 and role2), then created two users (one per role) and then used loginWP to define two redirection rules based on the user role.
Then I created a popup login using elementor, login/signup popup and firebox. They all work (user logs in successfully), but no redirection applies. As I said, I am trying to learn something fooling around with xampp: the test framework is really simple, what am I doing wrong?

In reply to: [PDF Thumbnails] Plugin does not workWell, we can live without it. The partial solution is to use “pdf embedder” plugins, more convoluted but working to an extent.
Thanks again for your attention
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [PDF Thumbnails] Plugin does not workThank you for your answer. Maybe I am misinterpreting things (I am Italian, so forgive my English), but in the thread you indicated it says that the enhanced wordpress pdf handling also requires ImageMagick and Ghostwriter, so the problem is still there. There must be good reasons why many hosts refuse to implement imagemagick, so the question seems to be: can we get images from pdf WITHOUT using imagemagick/ghostwriter?
Thanks for your attention.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: generate images from pdfThank you for the suggestion. I have already tried that: the plugin cannot be activated because it relies on the EXEC directive, that is disabled by the installation. Bad luck.

In reply to: [Astra] header overwrites postThanks a lot, it worked. I told you it was a dumb question, but I have a long way to go. Thanks again

In reply to: variable (“parametric”) urlsquentin1995: I must be missing something basic here. How does WP know which url must be redirected? Doesn’t wp_redirect expect two parameters, e.g
wp_rediredct (old_url, new_url)
If this is so (and I am not sure about this), might I be able to have something likewp_redirect('http://your_domain/privatepage/present_user', 'http://<your_domain>/<path>/privatepage/'.$current_user->user_login);and use
http://your_domain/privatepage/present_userin the “common” link field?- This reply was modified 4 years, 10 months ago by roberto21.
Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: variable (“parametric”) urlsYes, the logic is clear, the implementation (I am a newbie, or rookie, whatever) a little less clear. I was not thinking of a single url for all users, but to the possibility of using a “parametrized” url, like mydomain-privatepage-[variable]username[/variable], where username is replaced by the name of the user logged in. There is a separate page for each user; if the page can be accessed by that user only, a “smart” user cannot see the page, also knowing the username. Now, the url “syntax” above does not work in the link field of “HERE”, so what is (if any) the trick to make it work? I know this sounds like a silly question…
By the way, the above syntax [variable]username[/variable] should work according to documentation in PeterLogin plugin. Probably I misunderstood that also.
Thanks for your patience….
