In reply to: [Longevity] Another conflict with my Lightbox Gallery plug-inYup, that’s why I didn’t post – the other post was a month old, so it did not instill confidence! Too bad, it’s a good plugin otherwise. Although I have noticed that when the page is loading, sometimes the title will show for a second before it disappears. You’d think wp would make this an integral feature of the software, since frequently I do not want the menu title to be the page title!

In reply to: [Longevity] Another conflict with my Lightbox Gallery plug-inI think I did originally have that page named Plans & Handouts, but I ran into an issue where the “Hide Title” plugin refused to work with that page name. Same problem with a page I wanted to name “President’s Message”. It just wouldn’t work with it.

In reply to: [Longevity] Another conflict with my Lightbox Gallery plug-inOK, I will pass this on to the lightbox author. They seem to have resolved the issue of the double scroll bar, but not the floating menu item. I think they’ve gone to bed. Perhaps they can tell me where to change the value in the plugin – hopefully it CAN be changed.
What I don’t understand is, why did it suddenly start doing this when I haven’t changed anything in the theme, or anything in the Lightbox plugin settings? I haven’t updated either recently, and I’m sure I would have noticed this if it had been happening all along.

In reply to: [Longevity] Another conflict with my Lightbox Gallery plug-inAlso, notice the weird double scroll bar on the right side of the page. I don’t know if both of them appear on all browswers/devices, but the client said they “couldn’t scroll down the page” where the gallery was.

In reply to: [Longevity] Facebook like buttonOh awesome! That worked great! Thank you! I’d never heard of the enhanced text widget before. Learn something new every day.

In reply to: [Longevity] Facebook like buttonI also tried some of the other layouts (box-count, button-count, button). Only layout increasing the width of the plugin seems to work with is the standard layout. All the others generate that narrow fly-out, no matter what number I put in the width box in the generator.

In reply to: [Longevity] Facebook like buttonI generated the code here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button – Used the “Like button configurator”. Put in the url of the site, chose the options I wanted, then clicked “Get code”. It generates two pieces of code – the first one it says “Include the JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening <body> tag.”
<div id="fb-root"></div> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.5"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>The second piece it says: “2. Place the code for your plugin wherever you want the plugin to appear on your page.”
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.nysbs.org" data-width="400" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="false" data-share="true"></div>I put both pieces of code into the text widget, and then placed the widget in various places – right sidebar, left sidebar, footer. I wouldn’t really call what happens when you hit “Like” a ‘pop-up’ – more like a ‘fly-out’, as it opens right beside the like button. Hitting the “share” button generated an actual pop-up in the middle of the screen. Didn’t like the way it behaved in any of the places I put it. (In the footer, it was really weird – generated the narrow box AND it was half-hidden behind the Search box which I have placed there.)
The Configurator asks you to specify the width of the plug-in, but tells you the minimum width and the default width of the various layouts. I originally thought a layout that’s too wide would play havoc with the narrow sidebars if that was the width of the actual buttons, so I chose one of the narrower layouts. That didn’t resolve anything, so I played around with it some more and went back to the Standard layout, which it says the default width is 400 pixels. But if I left the width field blank it resulted in that very narrow fly-out box I posted the screen shot of, with some of the content cut off. If I actually entered ‘400’ in the width box, the fly-out was wider, but still not wide enough to show the whole box. So I tried altering the code and replacing the 400 with 600. That seems to make the fly-out box the correct width.
The whole thing is very strange.

In reply to: [Longevity] Facebook like buttonNo, I know how to move the button up further. I put it at the bottom because it’s so ugly, I don’t want the client to see it. [:-) It’s doing the same thing no matter where I put it, though.
Here’s a link to a screenshot of the left sidebar.

All of the plugins I found wanted me to create an “app” on Facebook to link up the WordPress site with their Facebook feed. I don’t need that…all I want to do is give people the option to Like the client’s website on their own Facebook feeds.

In reply to: [Longevity] Compacting right sidebar menu?It’s resolved enough for me. We just won’t tell the client there’s something else I could explore.
I hear ya…and one of these times I’ll be springing for a premium theme for one of these clients!

In reply to: [Longevity] Compacting right sidebar menu?I could do the research on that, but frankly, I’m not being paid enough. [:-D

In reply to: [Longevity] Compacting right sidebar menu?Thanks…I’ve taken out the animation for their review. I suspected that there wouldn’t be any way to compact that menu any further, and I told the client the reason “other” sidebar menus they’ve seen are more compact is that they are not mobile-friendly.

In reply to: [Longevity] Compacting right sidebar menu?Can I just pop that code above in custom css to override, or must I create a child theme to do that?
