Please close (or delete) this topic, thx. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Wordpress PDF Light Viewer Plugin] Looks nice, but…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looks-nice-but-2/) * [zipzit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zipzit/) * (@zipzit) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looks-nice-but-2/#post-7913692) * I’m guessing you made the same error that I did. You have to wait for the pdf files to convert. Takes about 90 seconds or so, depending on how large your file is. * check out the details at [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-error-29](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-error-29) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordpress PDF Light Viewer Plugin] Warning error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-error-29/) * [zipzit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zipzit/) * (@zipzit) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-error-29/#post-5736771) * Update. Ouch, ouch, ouch. Did a lot more work on this, and it turns out the error belongs to me, not to the plugin author / software. * So when I uploaded the .pdf form, I was too impatient. I didn’t give the system enough time to convert the .pdf into the correct image format. * Hint: at the top of the EDIT PDF form there is a feedback box. When you first create a pdf post type, there is a box that says [ ] Enable Import. When you upload and enable the import, there is a feedback message at the top of the screen. * In process, the message says * > (PDF File Name) PDF import is started. XX% is complete. Please do not leave > the admin interface until the import would not finished. * It does take awhile for the file to convert. The XX% should show progress, from 0% up to completion. * Upon completion, the message says * > Import process was successfully finished. Please check results on the PDF page. * After you receive that message, you should be able to see the pdf image at the bottom of the EDIT PDF page, in the box entitled “PDF Preview” * I did not do this correctly the first time I used the plugin, and obtained the errors above. After successfully uploading / importing my PDF’s I no longer was getting those errors. * Info posted here for anybody else who might have this issue. Again, many thanks to Anton and team for their work. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordpress PDF Light Viewer Plugin] Warning error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-error-29/) * [zipzit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zipzit/) * (@zipzit) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-error-29/#post-5736770) * I’m getting the same error… * ``` Warning: sort() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in /(website)/wp-content/plugins/pdf-light-viewer/controllers/FrontController.php on line 41 Warning: sort() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in /website/wp-content/plugins/pdf-light-viewer/controllers/FrontController.php on line 44 ``` * I’m definitely using version Version 1.1.0 I can see code updates dated 2 June 2015. * One thing I do see in shortcode strikes me as odd. `[pdf-light-viewer id="600" template=""]` What is up with the `template=""` ?? I see no place to chose a template. * Another thing: I did check my page for Chrome dev tool errors and there are two missing GET files: 1. `http://(webpage)/wp-content/plugins/pdf-light-viewer/assets/bower_components/ bxslider-4/dist/jquery.bxslider.css` 2. `http://(webpage)/wp-content/plugins/pdf-light-viewer/assets/bower_components/ bxslider-4/dist/jquery.bxslider.min.js` * I do see those files, but they are located at:`http://(webpage)/wp-content/plugins/ pdf-light-viewer/assets/bower_components/bxslider-4/jquery.bxslider.min.js` ( without the `/dist/` folder in the path…) not sure this will fix the error… stay tuned. * I’m back. I created a /dist/ folder, copied key files there. No more Chrome devtool( GET) errors but, I’m still seeing the parameter1 errors as listed above. * I guess I could clone the site onto a local host php/apache server, step thru the code and figure out what the problem is, but, I’ve got customers breathing down my neck.. I don’t mind spending the time (and providing feedback to github) if I absolutely know it would be of value.. * I don’t mean to be ungrateful… many thanks to Anton & team for a really nice effort. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Zerif Lite] syntax error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-error-99/) * [zipzit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zipzit/) * (@zipzit) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-error-99/#post-5415312) * That’s very odd. I downloaded the theme directly from themeisle.com, and got version **1.4** * I got the same error. `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'function' (T_FUNCTION)... in jetpack.php` then I found this discussion thread. I deleted the entire directory from my wp-content/themes/ folder via FileTransferProtocol. Reinstalled it again thru the wp-admin add themes interface. This time it works great. But I notice the version is now at **1.6.0**. I thought themeisle.com was the author of this theme? Why are they shipping out old cruddy code directly from their website? * Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for the product. But what’s up with this? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Redirection] Redirection / 404 Logs Filling Up – Ignores Options Setting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirection-404-logs-filling-up-ignores-options-setting/) * [zipzit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zipzit/) * (@zipzit) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirection-404-logs-filling-up-ignores-options-setting/#post-5214911) * Don’t forget that the database user (which is shown in your wp_config.php file stored at website root) must have full permissions to delete data in the database. * In some cases I’ve seen folks set up the database without all permissions. If that permission isn’t there in the MySQL system, there is no way for a plugin to delete the entries… And that wouldn’t be a plug-in defect in any way. * Can you delete other content from the mySQL database thru the WordPress admin panel? (Delete = delete from the trash folder, really delete something…) Add a fake post or fake page.. try to delete it. It goes to trash folder. Then go to trash folder try to delete it. I’m guessing that will fail for you. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Simple Lightbox] Truth in Advertising (This is not simple!) ??](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/truth-in-advertising-this-is-not-simple/) * Thread Starter [zipzit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zipzit/) * (@zipzit) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/truth-in-advertising-this-is-not-simple/#post-7864019) * prettyPhoto totally nailed it for me.. short, sweet and to the point. 10 lines of php code, 1 JS file. Ah.. the beauty of it… * Apologies to the author. Note: my frustration on this whole thing should really be directed at the wordpress plugin look up system. For all the work done on the wordpress system in general, plugin look up system sucks. * When looking for a plug in, I want to know how many files, how many javascript lines of code, how is CSS managed (via php calls to DB, via javascript or plain jane CSS files) How large is the entire package, and how is support managed ( via login only forums, via email, via public forums) and a link to a sample website. Why oh why is that so hard? And yeah, I expect that result on a single spreadsheet type of page. In lieu of that spreadsheet, we often rely on titles to help guide us on our journey. * I’m sick of wasting my time, and the Simple Lightbox (NOT!) plugin title was the last straw! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Form Maker by 10Web - Mobile-Friendly Drag & Drop Contact Form Builder] Form-Maker / jQuery DatePicker UI 404 error.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/form-maker-jquery-datepicker-ui-404-error/) * Thread Starter [zipzit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zipzit/) * (@zipzit) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/form-maker-jquery-datepicker-ui-404-error/#post-4693271) * Oops. I never said this was a problem on my “form maker” form page. What I am saying is, because you were less than careful in creating your plugin, anybody else who uses jQuery datepicker elsewhere on their site is out of luck. What’s the issue? You’ve added only a partial implementation of the addition of jquery- ui-spinner.css . In that file I count 13 referenced images used by that library. You’ve included only nine images in your plug in. You missed four images! And that means anybody who uses jQuery datepicker will receive a back end 404 error. * Now hold on, why would anybody use datepicker without using Form-Maker? Form- maker is a great tool that creates forms using html tables, but those are just not responsive enough for a cell phone. I have a simple form submit element that is short and very wide on a desktop, but narrow and tall on a cell phone. See images below. When I created that element I initially got the 404 errors. (Note: I’ve since found the images online and corrected my site.. recommend that you do the same to protect ALL your customers.) * [Desktop view:](http://192.254.236.79/~dempsey1/image1.png) * [Same exact element displayed on a cell phone.](http://192.254.236.79/~dempsey1/image2.png) * (Hint, perhaps there is a market for you… a truly responsive form tool, one that works without html tables… Or heck maybe I should just write the plugin. What do you think? ) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Automatic Slider Input = Post, Category, start & end dates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-slider-input-post-category-start-end-dates/) * Thread Starter [zipzit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zipzit/) * (@zipzit) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-slider-input-post-category-start-end-dates/#post-4540891) * Apparently nobody else found a plugin either… So I rolled my own. I’ve learned a lot about “the loop”, and the wordpress codex tools. Lots of shortcode with callback content. I did attempt to use the native wordpress tools / elements where possible. I’m taking advantage of “Excerpts” and “featured image” blocks. I only have to add one field for “link” * If a post gets a category “featured” then its image gets published on the home page top element slider. * If a post is clicked for “promo” then a thumbnail image and the excerpt text gets featured in a small spinner element ‘advertising’ new specials at the business. * I guess it would be possible to create a plugin for others to use.. The plugin would have to include a image spinner tool. I’m guessing from here it would take around 80 hours or work to make it polished and professional with an appropriate amount of admin options.

Its possible you missed something 50 lines BEFORE line 368, and the system is looking for a tag match. The arrow on 368 highlights a matching tag error, from a previous location. * pay special attention to all the tags * start at line 368 and go up to find the error. Its also nice if your editor tool does autoformating, that way you can immediately see where a tag error might occur. I use ‘sublime’, but there are lots of different editor tools out there. Find one that does php, css and html files.
