In reply to: [Himalayas] Lightbox effect in post imagesThe site is under construction. Normally it is password protected. But for a while it is open.
One post where there is an image is
https://nyc.zimpli.com/2021/08/21/forarintyg-hosten-2021/The image is linked to the media file. As you can see clicking the image shows the image in its real format but it is “outside” of the theme.
The featured image has on hover a magnifying glass icon and on click you get a lightbox effect. That is what I would like.
I can add anything to the child theme I am using.
Thanks a lot for great support.

Brilliant!
I’m all ears.
After checking plugins for user roles/capabilities I’ve found a plugin, https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-access-manager/, that helps to reduce the problem with visible menus on back-end.
The plugin works fantastically well and reduces to main problem of showing a contributor menus that he should not be able to see. Still though, Subscribe2, displays the Notification Settings in back-end.
Still I would like it if you somehow could move the Notification Settings to User Profile.
Thanks for great support.
I am pleased that you do see the problem I’m having with the present Subscribe2 plugin because of having the default user being contributor. How many other people out there experiencing similar problems I don’t know. I just guess it is more than we think. I’m not trying to say you’ll get rich if you fix it. But it will be a better plugin and at least I will love it.
Since the settings for a user is very individual I think that including Notification Settings with the other personal settings will make sense. As I said earlier, I am happy to supply you with the Premium Themes that simply move the User Profiles to front-end if that in any way will help you.
For a non-programmer the “move” seems simple. I understand that there is a hell of a lot more to it than what is seen. I want you to know that I do think the plugin is cleverly constructed and it is much more useful than other subscribe to plugins. Beyond comparison. Putting the Notification Settings in front-end would make it even more attractive. It is also a more secure solution. Something that should be stressed in promotion of the plugin.
I’ll spend some time thinking about “real needs” for a user and if I have some more ideas I’ll come back to you. If you have any ideas of how to solve this I am more than happy to give you my opinion.
Thanks for your time and effort. I really do appreciate it.
P.S. I use the plugin for having customer subscribe to instant ad-updates. A version of categories. I think the benefit for the customer is greater than the security risk I am facing. I hope I am right. I’ll let you know.
Thanks for a quick reply. I’ll try to clarify the situation the best I can.
I understand that it is WordPress that grants access. Sorry for not expressing it clearly.
The reason why I consider accessing the User Profile much less of a security risk, and annoyance, than Subscribe2 Profile is that I can access the User Profile from front end. Since I easily can restrict access to back-end for editors, authors, contributors and subscribers and still access and update User Profile from front-end the problem with unwanted access to back-end for registered Subscribe2 users is a greater security risk.
The situation is this. If a registered Subscriber2 user (contributor) gets access to back-end it means the user can write posts (cannot publish), write FAQs (cannot publish) copy shortcodes in Contact7, view all types of comments (pending, approved, spam and trash) and access Tools (Press this). On top of that the user can access the User Profile page in backend and Notification Settings in Subscribe2. To sum it up, the user has access to stuff that he does not need to have access to and that is not beneficial to me, or other site owners. I can sort this by changing the capabilities in the “other functions/plugins”. I cannot see how I can fix it by changing caps for Subscribe2 users.
On top of this, when a registered user (contributor) on my site he has access to his User Profile page from front-end and can update all relevant data (except subscriptions) he is faced with three different “Profile Pages”. One is the front-end version. The other is User Profile in back-end. And the third is what you refer to as “the profile”. That is the Notification Settings page. Strictly speaking that is not a “Profile page”, it is a settings page.
I think you can see I have some problems. And I don’t think I am the only one having them.
The usual role for someone who is subscribing to Subscribe2 is subscriber. Then the back-end only shows User Profile and the Notification Settings. But the subscriber is still ushered into the back-end. There is not as much to “fool around with” as if the Subscribe2 subscriber is a contributor.
I understand that can you say simply can say, “Well, that’s my problem”. I do think that many users of the plugin would appreciate if the subscriptions could be handled from front-end. At least there are a number of them asking for it in the forum in the last couple of years. There is no purpose in letting Subscribe2 users get into back-end if they can be kept outside. I think you agree.
If you could, in the paid version, arrange that Notifications Settings were in the User Profile I’ll be happy to supply you with the Premium Themes that transfers full User Profiles from back-end to front-end. And I would be pleased to pay for the Paid version and getting images and HTML as well. Hopefully there are many more that feels the same.
I don’t know if this makes sense to you. If you have any questions, I’m ready to answer all of them.
Thank you for spending time answering,
Göran Rudling
P.S I think you understand that I am a programming midget. I know what functionality I want, but I have no clue of how to get there.

I’ve tried the modifed WP125 plugin and it works fine. Fantastic job you’ve done. The plugin is easy to use and is a great start for ads.

Great job! I would be happy to try it out on the themes I am using. (Rowling and Classipress).If you cannot get in touch with the original developer (I’ve tried without success) release it as an updated version of the plugin. It sure is a great plugin to start to get into advertising.

I am a PHP-midget. I really have no clue on what is the real problem with WP125 so I cannot give you any recommendations. Don’t spend to much time on it though. In my view it is not enough to just get it working, it needs some modifications in order to be serious alternative to other plugins.
WP125 is a great entry level advertisement plugin. Anybody seriously involved in ads would go for AdRotate Pro or something similar. It only costs €29. Just one or two ads would pay for it. With AdRotate Pro it is a lot easier to administrate ads and it is a far more flexible plugin. I have moved on.
Keep me informed of your progress. Unfortunately I cannot be of any help more than to tell you what I would like to see in the plugin.

I’ve played around with it. Sometimes I get it to work on WP themes but most of the time it is not. I have no clue what is the real problem. I am very sorry for giving the wrong advice.
I’ve evaluated some plgins and Iv’e decided to use AdRotate instead. It has some real advantages. I can select the size of the ads and rotate them. When my adsales motivates a Pro version I will go for it. The Pro version is far better than WP125. Maybe that is the way to go for you too.

In reply to: [WP125] WP125 not shown after update to W4.3I am very sorry. I got it working on the theme I use, Multiport a child theme for Classipress. I cannot get it to work on twelvethirteen and a number of other themes.
Being a complete novice on PHP I don’t know if I can fix it. I will give it a try.
I’ve contacted the author of the plugin but sofar no answer. I’ll contact some plugin creators to see what they can do.

In reply to: [WP125] WP125 not shown after update to W4.3I think the problem of WP125 not showing is fixed. See the above solution. If you make the change in widget_class.php the ads will show in perfect format.
The reason I had problems with size of the ads was because I had marked the box “Include default ad stylesheet? ” and by that I disconnected the css for the ads. Thats why I could not get 2 columns.

In reply to: [WP125] WP125 not shown after update to W4.3Being a novice in php and widgets I made some changes in widget_class.php
I replaced :
function WP125_Widget() {
parent::WP_Widget(
‘wp125’,
‘WP125’,
array( ‘description’ => ‘Displays your ads’ )
);
}
with:
function __construct() {
parent::__construct(
‘wp125’,
‘WP125’,
array( ‘description’ => ‘Displays your ads’ )
);
}This change brings back the WP125 ads but only in one column. It works for displaying ads of the format 125X310.
Can anybody figure out how to make the widget display two columns 125X125?
