In reply to: [WP Video Lightbox] Using iFrame without autoplayThe code I am using is an a href=”[link to mp4 file]” with the rel attribute “wp-video-lightbox” with “?iframe=true” as a parameter in the HREF (ie as instructed at the top of page 4 of the “WP Video Lightbox Plugin Usage Guide”). I tried copying the actual code here but it doesn’t show up.
Is there any way to stop is auto-playing? Or is there an alternative code which will achieve my aim?

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Error 503 of Amazon short linksShortly after making the comment above, I discovered that this issue has been raised before and answered here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/503-service-unavailable-amazon-affiliate-links/.
In short, @drunkfox, the developers have put this issue on their action list. In the meantime, they have recommended using the option in “Settings -> Link Checker -> Which Links To Check” to exclude the Amazon links that are generating false reports.
I have tried that with mine.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Error 503 of Amazon short links@drunkfox refers to short Amazon “short links” being reported as broken, but I am finding full-length links to Amazon are also reported as broken.
I have three such links on my site. When they were reported as broken, I marked them as OK, so that the plugin would accept them, but the false report came back after a few weeks. This has happened several times.
I look forward to hearing if there is a solution to this.

In reply to: [Kumle] Customising template-tags.php in a child themeMany thanks, @maneshtimilsina.
It took me a while to realise that I also need to add a similar line to the child theme functions.php in order to load the amended main file, ie
require_once trailingslashit( get_stylesheet_directory() ) . ‘/includes/main.php’;Once I had done that, all was working just fine. Many thanks for respponding so quickly.

In reply to: [Gutenberg Ramp] Can’t activate plug-in on local siteStupid me! I forgot that my WAMP program is using an older version of PHP than my live site. I will research how to upgrade the PHP version locally and report back if that solves the problem. Thanks for being so amazingly quick to respond.

In reply to: [Related Posts Slider] Related Posts Slider not working with JetPackAfter some more research, I have discovered that I can fix the problem by turning off the “publicise” module in JetPack, which I am not using.
For anyone who wants to use JetPack’s Publicise, there would still be a problem.
I believe you are being advised to do the following:
1 Go to Appearance/Menus from the dashboard.
2 Look over to the left, where you have the option to add “Pages” or “Links” and click on Links to open it up.
3 Insert in the “url” box the link to the blog you want in your menu
4 Insert in the “Link Text” box the text you want in your menu
5 Save MenuApologies to all if that is not what was meant.

In reply to: Subscribe2 6.4Many thanks.

In reply to: Subscribe2 6.4Many thanks for taking the time to respond, but perhaps there is a different work around which will allow me to keep the form, at the bottom of the page?
I believe it is possible to get a data input process to load a ~different~ page, so could you tell me where in the Subscribe2 coding I can find the instruction which tells the system to load the same page?
