In reply to: [List category posts] can’t make customfield_orderby workSorted this out myself. In case it helps others, sorting for custom fields is ALPHA ONLY, not alphanumeric.
I have fourteen items with the custom field “list-order” and they are, in fact, sorting thusly:
1 10 11 12 13 14 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
I’m going to switch to letters instead of numbers (rather than having to explain to every person who ever touches this why I’m prepending zeros to the “numbers”) but it would be helpful if this sorted numbers as numbers, or if the documentation was clearer.

In reply to: [List category posts] Filter Tags by Custom Field valuefrom the very bottom of this page: https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/wiki/How-to-select-which-posts-to-show
custom fields – To use custom fields, you must specify two values: customfield_name and customfield_value. customfield_name defines the name of the field, and you should choose the values for which you want posts to display. Using this only show posts that contain a custom field with this name and value. Both parameters must be defined, or neither will work. Eg: [catlist customfield_name=”color” customfield_value=”green”] will display posts with the value green set on the custom field color. This parameter can be used together with customfield_orderby, see “More parameters you can use” for more information.
Does that help?

In reply to: [Smart Slider 3] is it possible to have multiple/random transitions?Ah. I was unclear about the difference between the main transition and the background transitions. Thank you.
I’m getting the same error suddenly this week, with no plugins activated except JetPack.

In reply to: how to disable CodeMirror?Oh, sweet. Had not noticed that setting. Done and done. Thanks.
It also kills the useless search feature where if I search then edit one instance of something, I have to restart the search from scratch.

In reply to: [Quotes llama] would like better access to elements for CSS stylingUpdated, adjusted a little CSS in my own theme, not the plugin, and all is well. As long as those elements are always named as they are now, I won’t even have to fix anything if the plugin is updated.
Nicely done! Thanks very much.

In reply to: [Quotes llama] would like better access to elements for CSS stylingAs I play with it I’ll make a list. I did database work for 15 years before starting my web company in 1999 so I always have a long wish list for the tools I use. Glad to have someone who’s responsive.

In reply to: [Quotes llama] would like better access to elements for CSS stylingUnderstood. I hadn’t considered selectively choosing style sheets as needed.
As long as I can access each element by id or class, I can cope with whatever else happens. The way I work, I might want a whole new style by the time you update the styles, so I’m fine with sorting that out myself.
Really appreciate your prompt response. Looking forward to your updates.

In reply to: [Quotes Collection] I can't change the CSSSame here. Any access to change the layout and look would be nice. Nothing I do has any effect.

In reply to: 404 Error Page after says missing wp-comments-post.php pageJLRuiz1717: I just suffered from the same problem. My solution may not work for you, but it’s one more place to look.
Any chance you used a test comment, copied and pasted from one blog to another?
Somehow, one of my comments on my own site failed. I copied the comment to a text editor and went through various gyrations trying to make it work. Fail fail fail.
But only when I copy/pasted that comment. Other comments worked fine.
I retyped the comment instead of pasting it, and all went well.
Call it invisible elves or a hidden character in my comment caused by an errant keystroke while typing my comment (you have NO IDEA how I can fat-finger this keyboard) but my problem was all about that single comment.
After 21 years, web coding can still make me crazy. I don’t cry about it as much these days, though, so I’m making progress. (Mocking me, not you. I get severely frustrated when stuff should work and it doesn’t.)
Excellent. Thanks.

In reply to: [Matheson] Removing Jumbo Headline causes issuesYup. That’s a bug. When you change any other setting, the default width setting is ignored until you explicitly set it, even to what it already is.
Drove us mad for a week until we found it.
Bingo!
Seems a mite obtuse. I’ll make sure my team knows where to look.
Thanks muchly, Ryan.
