smakdaddy, I’m running locally too.
You might want to put a copy of jquery.min.js in the same directory with the plugin. Then you’ll need to edit the line in the plugin which references an external jquery.min.js file. Like this:

// <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.0/jquery.min.js”&gt;
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”jquery.min.js”>

You can just comment out that first line and make a new line with what I have.

That will allow you to view the “Advanced Options” for Custom Post Types and Taxonomies.

Not sure why you are getting the “invalid function” error.

mark8barnes, I just did a complete reinstall yesterday. Still not having that problem.

One thing you and smakdaddy could check is to make sure that you have “administrator rights”. If you don’t, that is the problem.

Also, when editing a custom post type, the button should say “Save Custom Post Type”, not “Edit Custom Post Type”.

Same thing for “Edit Custom Taxonomy”. It should say “Save Custom Taxonomy”.

Don,

I can’t believe others have not asked you to share how you created your site.

I would be interested in knowing how you created it, especially the front page. The header and menu are very well done.

If you get a chance, please give us details how you did it.

tanc,

Your problem is a conflict between the json.php file in the Elastic plugin directory and the class-json.php file in the wp-includes directory.

Disabling plugins isn’t going to help.

I’m not the developer but this is a great little plugin. I’ve got it working on a Windows server and on a WAMP server locally, using WP 2.86 and WP 2.9.

One problem was with the correct directories not being found. I’ve notified Daryl (the developer) and he is fixing this.

I think you’ll like what you see when you have this up and running. Like anything that is cutting edge, there will be always be little bugs to work out with different server combinations.

I finally got this plugin working under Wampserver. Someone else also asked for this.

Rather than repeating it here, go to this link to see what I did.

I got it working on a Wampserver using Windows XP.

All of the edits are in “class-elastic-editor.php”.

1. Look for the line “$plugin = Elastic_Editor::get_folder();”
Around line 46 under “function init_styles() “

2. Replace that with ” $plugin = basename(dirname(__FILE__)); “
(without the quotes)

3. Now look for every instance of ” $plugin “
The next one should be ” WP_PLUGIN_URL .’/’. $plugin . ‘/jquery/ui/css/custom-theme/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css’, ”

4. You will need to add the ” ‘/’. ” before ” $plugin “

5. You will have to repeat this in “function init_scripts()”

6. I also had to copy the “framework” and “jquery” folders to the “plugins” folder.

Most of the reasons this plugin doesn’t work is because of errors in finding the proper directories. By using Wampserver I was able to examine the logs and find out what is happening.

This should get you up and running with the plugin.

Actually the submenu items will show up. You have to use the ID which Menu Creator assigns. It is in the left, or first, column. This is the number which goes in the “Parent” box. And your subitems will have an “Order” of 0, 1, 2.

For example, if your first menu item is “Home”, you would have a “1” in the “Parent” box. (In this case you would have the address of your blog in the “Value” box, i.e. “http://myblog.com&#8221;.) The Type would be “External Link”. (You would need to make sure that Menu Creator assigned a “1” as an ID.) You would have a “0” in the “Order” box.

If your second menu item is “News”, the “Type” would be “Post/Page” and the “Value” would be the ID of your page supplied by WordPress. The “Order” would be “1”. The “Parent” should be “2”.

If you have a subitem under “News”, the “Type”, for example, could be “Post/Page” and the “Value” would be the ID of your page supplied by WordPress. The “Order” would be “0”, because it is the first subitem. The “Parent” would be “2”.

You also need to check and see if Menu Creator has actually created the menu item. (It doesn’t always do it.)

But the plugin is unstable at this stage and not worth the effort. When you delete a menu, it isn’t deleted from the database.

I would say the plugin has a ways to go before it is ready. Also, none of the videos or samples are on the website.

It would probably take less time to write your own menu system. But if you want to keep trying maybe the hints I gave you will help.
