In reply to: [Lightbox Plus Colorbox] css for Shadowfax styleWell I took a peek at the colorbox.css file, but couldn’t determine what was was amiss, so I found a friend with a lot more experience and he soon spotted that the command #cboxSlideshow.hover should be #cboxSlideshow:hover. He also changed ‘the offset for the Running-Hover rule’ (but I’m not sure what that means!!). Anyway the slideshow control icons behave as expected now on my website and I’m happy.
This is a really great plug-in in my opinion, especially for a membership site. It is fairly straightforward for users, if they are familiar with creating and publishing a blog post, to create a gallery using the WP Add Media tool. This plug-in adds a tremendous way to display the photos in any post or page gallery.

In reply to: [Lightbox Plus Colorbox] caption from WP galleriesthanks, that link led to a page with a download link, but the link led to the current Lightbox Plus download, 2.5.5
I may have a backupfile, ‘cos I did have captions showing, then I think I deleted the plug-in then decided to reinstall it, but I don’t know how to restore anything from a WordPress backup(?)
alternatively;
do you have a zip file of version 2.5.5 by any chance? I’d really like to get captions showing on my gallery displays!!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Lightbox Plus Colorbox] caption from WP gallerieshow did you get 2.5.5, I only have 2.6 as that is now in the WordPress repository
I have just done a little more fiddling around. I have a plug-in, Fancy Gallery Lite, activated, this adds Lightbox display to WP galleries, which looks really good, however it seems to mess up the WP gallery functions. When I deactivated it the gallery appeared on the post in the order I had determined in the editor.
Oh well, does anyone have a recommendation of a simple ‘Lightbox’ display to enhance my galleries? I might try NextGen again, that is reckoned to be really good, though I thought it a bit complicated for my needs.
I have this problem, a gallery of 10 pictures which I re-ordered by dragging images in the media window. The images appear in the desired order in the post Visual editor (when you click the edit icon), they are also in the correct order in the Text editor [gallery ids=" "], however they remain in the uploaded order when displayed in the published post.
This is extremely frustrating when trying to publish a gallery of pictures in a particular order.
The reply above alludes to a possible workaround (?) by using a shortcode from WP3.4. I have only just started using WP and have only experience of 3.5. Could you please elaborate on this. Or is the only solution to upload in the order that you want the gallery to appear?
Thanks.

In reply to: size and font of titlesThanks, I tried this out, but didn’t find what you found. I did find in page source view that the widget titles were displayed in <h2> and were under a div class called ‘widgettitle’ but I could not locate this in any theme css file.
I have devised a workaround! Leave the widget title off and write the title on the page just above the widget shortcode. Not perhaps the best solution but it works for me!!

In reply to: Making a special tableNo worries, it still works, even though it might not be grammatically correct (not that I know!). Thanks for your help, you have increased my knowledge and skills in building web pages.

In reply to: size and font of titlesThe page in question is activeo.info/test-page/. It is log-in protected so I have set up a temporary user username: forum password: forum so it can be viewed.
I did experiment with another widget-on-page plug-in but that produced the sane size titles, so I think it is to do with the WP css settings not the plug-ins.
Hope this is sufficient info, I can always provide more.

In reply to: Making a special tableThanks so much that is really useful. I pasted your code into my page and the css into the WP css editor, and the links displayed exactly as I wanted. However I did get the following warnings flagged up on the css editor, so presumably something about the css code is not quite correct.
width can’t be used with display: inline
height can’t be used with display: inline
display: inline has no effect on floated elementsForum: Plugins

In reply to: [User Access Manager] update compatibility?I have just heard back from my Hosting support
The function get_userdata() is not defined in your script. So you were experiencing the issue. It looks like issue is with ‘user-access-manager’.
so presumably ranwaldo’s extra line fixes that? I am still nervous about trying this
It was fixed by adding the following code at front of ‘UserAccessManager.class.php’ (outside of any function).
if (!function_exists(‘get_userdata’)) {
include_once ABSPATH.’wp-includes/pluggable.php’;
}in case my site goes down again!

In reply to: Making a special tableTables in HTML are in decline now I believe and I’ve read they shouldn’t be used simply for displaying text/images/links in neat rows and columns (don’t know why, my understanding of coding and commands is not up to that level).
If this is so, how can a grid of aligned rows and columns be achieved on a WordPress page. Specifically, I want to display quite a few links on a page, a menu really, but lay them out as a table would. I have not found a way to achieve this by creating a menu.
Help and advise gratefully received…
