In reply to: [GAinWP Google Analytics Integration for WordPress] Analysis for AuthorOne last step is you need to create a custom report in GA to view those new custom dimensions.
There is a decent tutorial on the Exact Metrics site part way down the page:
https://www.exactmetrics.com/the-beginners-guide-to-custom-dimensions-in-google-analytics/
Search for “Find Custom Dimensions Report” and read from that point on.

In reply to: [GAinWP Google Analytics Integration for WordPress] Analysis for AuthorTo start tracking the authors, you need to set up custom dimensions in your Google Analytics:

You can add up to 20 in GA, these are the ones I normally add:
After you have GA set up to track those custom dimensions, you need to set up GAinWP to “tag” that information that is being sent to GA by going here on your site:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gainwp_tracking_settings#top#gainwp-custom
Just match each option in GAinWP to the number of the custom dimension in GA, for example mine are:

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Close button on pop-upsIt seems to be inside another container as this css made no difference:
.mc-main button.close {
object-position: right top;
}could you give an example code that will put the close button either at the top right or left of the box?
@wilderbee that worked thanks!

In reply to: Permalink manipulation with static front pageWordPress forces unique slugs:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/35315/must-slugs-be-unique
I think if you make the page that is set to static something unique (/welcome /info etc., I’m just guessing without knowing the site URL about general names), it won’t affect the /2017 slug.
Also, even when pages & posts are in the trash, they reserve the applied slug until the trash is emptied.

In reply to: Show “dashboard” button on WP toolbar for logged out usersYes I read too fast, I was looking if the admin bar was showing for logged out users (which it is).
What method did you use to customize the logo on your admin bar (plugin, css etc)?
Any properly coded theme should allow the creation of menus in the WP admin.

In reply to: Media upload arranged by dateUnderstood, it’s always my experience that no matter what people tell you, it’s in your best interest to test your specific install. I would make a local clone of the site, change the setting and try it out.
A couple of tools I find reliable:
You can use Local by Flywheel to set up an easy local machine version:
https://local.getflywheel.com/On both sites, if you install:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/You can export from the live site (keep the export file as a backup also) and import on the local site. Just do the reverse when you are ready to push it to the live install.
In your case, don’t export the media via the plugin (just manually transfer the files) and as long as your backup is less than 500 MB you can use the free version of the migration plugin.

In reply to: Media upload arranged by dateWhat are you using as a backup solution?
I know Backup Buddy has a simplified option where you can perform a full backup or just your media files for example:

In reply to: Media upload arranged by dateIs the purpose of organizing your uploads so you can find files easier from the admin side of things?
If so, a media management plugin will make things a lot easier for you:
An easy way to do it is create a custom menu:

It’s kind of the opposite logic, you aren’t hiding what you don’t want, you are creating a new menu and just adding what you DO want.
