In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Validation by filter failingHow embarrassing! You’re totally right — it didn’t jump out and when trying to return at the top of the function failed, I got focussed on the idea that the filter wasn’t getting hooked correctly.
Which it wasn’t, because the function wasn’t compiling at all. Doh.

In reply to: [Smart Slider 3] removing extra space around sliderNevermind — I found a minimum height being applied to the wrap. No idea why chrome dev was indicating it was on the contained section id, but it wasn’t — it was the wrap and unrelated to this plugin. Sorry!!
Hmm… I don’t actually see a way to change my rating, or even to delete my prior review. Anyone know?
I’ve received email from the author indicating that he’s corrected this in the newest version. Since I moved my client to the paid Woo Commerce version some months ago, I won’t be testing this personally, but I will make my previously 1-star review 3-star to reflect the fact that this may be irrelevant now.
If someone else is using it and can confirm that this is a non-issue, that might be nice too.
So they did get in touch quickly and told me that the zip file appears empty on Macs and PCs but isn’t, and I should upload it as is to the site.
They also offered to refund the sale since I bought the wrong product. I think I’ll skip the plug-in given the non-sprite basis, but their customer service was prompt and polite.

In reply to: Creating a MU plug-in to push contentThanks Mika, that plug-in plus paid versions looks like it does a lot of what I need, and I’ll take a look at your books too. I’m not sure why feeding RSS from one blog to another (since as you note multi is separate blogs) would cause recursion as long as I’m only feeding ‘down’, but I’m guessing one of your books will explain it.
I do think that the WordPress leaders are too quick to say “that’s not what multisite is for”.
A well-organized central entity with franchises is such a common business model in America, and they usually want to do two things: restrict freedom for the franchises, and provision them with useful materials (a large part of what a franchise pays for.)
Multisite restricts sites brilliantly, but the provisioning is missing. Developers may know “that’s not what it’s for” but our clients are absolutely clamoring for it.
Anyhow, I really appreciate your links and pointers. I’m hoping that plug-in is my answer, and it’s time to delve more formally into MU anyway, as I’m getting more requests for it.
Many thanks!

In reply to: How do i know if a site it multisiteHi Janey,
The first thing I’d do is confirm the account information you were given is an admin account by checking “users”. Assuming it is…
Sounds like you could well have a multi-site install. In my 4.0 installations, when I look at the top left corner on a multisite installation, even if I am an admin for a subsite and not a super-admin, I see “My Sites” with a list of sites underneath.
If I access a non-multi site as admin, I see the site title and underneath “visit site”. It’s possible to change what capabilities roles have, so it’s at least possible someone could have coded the site to do this, but I can’t imagine why they’d cripple admin like that…I’m guessing it’s multi-site.
If it is, you can’t fix it locally. Whoever is hosting it has to either add the plug-in for you to turn on and configure, or make you a super-admin (unlikely). I don’t know of any workaround.

In reply to: Multi-domains on Subdirectory networkI’m using WordPress MU Domain Mapping and so far so good. I haven’t used the other.
I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “Not the only WP install”. I have both subdomain sites and sites that were once subdomain but are now their own domain-branded sites and they work fine. Do you just mean that you have several WordPress installs in your VPS account? If so, I don’t see why it would matter, but that’s definitely a question for your host. On WP Engine it causes no issues at all.

In reply to: [Invoices for WooCommerce] Blocking access to generated PDFsAfter not hearing from the author for two weeks, and running out of viable options to filter pdfs in the root of /uploads/ but not the subdirectories*, we purchased and installed the paid Woo Commerce extension for the same function.
It’s too bad, because the whole problem could be avoided by simply storing the .pdf files in /uploads/woo_invoices and adding a few lines of instruction regarding htaccess. Perhaps the author will consider this in the future.
—-
*technically an htaccess file in each subdirectory would have done the trick, but it felt like a ticking time bomb, as the client would suddenly have legitimate pdf downloads fail if the dev didn’t remember or know to put a new htaccess in each year’s new directory. I consulted with several specialists including the hosts at WP Engine and nobody came up with a robust alternative.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Moved site = Missing data. How to restore?I’m sure you’ve solved it, but I may as well put the answer here in case others like me come looking: You can use the WP import/export tool to do this. It has options for just exporting/importing orders, or “everything”.
One caveat: if the version on the old and new sites aren’t the same it may fail. I found your post while trying to figure out why mine wasn’t working, but once I realized there was an update with database changes, it worked just fine.

In reply to: [Woocommerce CSV importer] Successful Upload but products no where to be seenI have the same problem.
My export (from Quickbooks) doesn’t have a field for status or visibility, so I added fields to it with the values “published” and “public”, in case these do not default to “show this product” values.
It shows it working through the rows, and says “Done!” but there are no new products in WordPress. I’m working with sample data, so I stripped out everything except the type, item, description, price and the two added fields. Still nothing.
I’m out of ideas, but I like the interface, so I’m hoping this question will be addressed. Given that the product was last updated about the time this thread started, I’m wondering if there’s a bug?
FWIW, my installation is a brand new Woocommerce installation with no prior products. Sounds like at least one guy above is also trying to work with a fresh install. How about the rest of you?

In reply to: Up Header MenuI’m guessing something is interfering with the css that positions the menu. By default it’s inserted at the bottom of the code them css moves it up to that location. Use Firebug or “view source” to see if this is what is happening. The other possibility is that the code that builds that HTML isn’t executing, but I’d think you’d see bigger issues in that case.
The most likely culprit would be a plug-in or child-theme. You could try the classic approach and turn off plug-ins one by one until the problem disappears.
If none of this helps, a link to the site would be more useful than a screen shot.

In reply to: code modification "order by title"You’re looking for this page in the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages
Specifically, check the section about sort_column Sounds like you want post_title instead of menu_order.

In reply to: Can't Install Themes, HELP!I’m guessing here, but the second image makes me wonder if you’re hitting some permissions error during file-write. Specifically, all (child) themes must have a style.css. It’s the only required file, and it looks like none of your added themes have it. If the site shows the themes as being there but broken it suggests that installation got as far as creating a directory but was unable to save the style.css file to that directory.
Can you FTP in and see what’s there? (Or go in through a web interface and do the same?) (If so, try manually copying the theme files over.)
