There is an error that appears in PHP 8.0 and onwards.
It’s an attempt to access an array element when the array pointer is null.
The fix is to replace line 41 in tpl/shortcode.php with:
<?php elseif ( get_post_custom_values( 'wp_advent_image_id', $day->ID ) && get_post_custom_values( 'wp_advent_video_url', $day->ID )[0] ) :
This first checks that the array get_post_custom_values is not null before attempting to access the array at index 0.
]]>I have set up an advent calender on my website, looking very nice. However, the scheduled posts (scheduled for 00:00 each day) are not publishing automatically, which is why I need to open the prepared post every night and publish it manually.
Does anyone else has this problem? What can be a solution?
WP Cron is not disabled in my wp-config.
]]>Hallo,
ich würde gerne nach dem Klick auf den Kalender einfach nur ein Bild anzeigen lassen. Geht das?
Bei mir funktioniert das gerade nicht.
W?re über einen Tipp dankbar.
Liebe Grü?e

Dear developer,
First of all: Thanks for your nice calender!
I experience a problem with displaying a jpg behind the first door. It just doesnt show, although the URL is corect. In the developer pane, I see that the image (img) is linked via “data-src” instead of “src”. “src” points to some data:iage/gif, which seems to be auto-generated by the plug-in. If I change this mnually on the page, (delete data-src and enter the correct URL in src) it works.
Any help?
]]>I am using the Advent Calendar tool. And loaded up 24 videos. The video size window is to small. I want the videos to be played in full format. Is this possible? Why is this happening?
Please help me…
]]>Hej! I′m setting up a website for a small business and I′m struggling with this plugin :-/ but first of all thanks to Martin and Dominik for offering this plugin!
I′ve filled content to a couple of days; when checking how they look on notebook, iPad and iPhone I see that both notebook and iPad look great but on the iPhone the picture/ frame/ side looks awful: I can only see the left upper part of whatever I try – picture, table, text – and have to scroll without havng a chance to see the whole advent door…
Smartphone is the device which the customers use >95% – therefore I really need help urgently!!
Thanks in advance and have a nice 1st advent ??
Cheers, Daniel
]]>Hello and thanks for the cool plugin. My question is, how can I reduce the transparency of the background image. I use a quite bright image, it is hardly visible.
]]>Hi,
there are already posts on this forum for how to test the calendar. But the answer was always that you can ONLY do it in admin by using Preview on the page with the calendar shortcode. But what when I want to give the client a chance to test it, who doesn’t have access to the admin?
I tried to change the computer date to December 1. and test then December 1. But this did not work. Does the plugin not use the computer date when it allows to open the calendar doors?
And I of course also want to know IN ADVANCE if the plugin works on the special days. So, those of you who used it last December: Does it work?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Best regards
Albert
]]>Hallo,
danke für das Plugin, das bisher einfach zu bedienen ist.
Nur mit der Lightbox komme ich nicht klar. Welche Abmessungen muss ein Bild haben, damit keine scrollbars erscheinen?
Danke für eine Antwort

Thank you for creating this plugin!
Is it possible to have a different start date for the calendar? Ex: November 29 instead of Dec 1?
Thanks
]]>Hello,
thank you very much for this create plugin. I want to use a bright background image for the calender and therefore I wanted to change the Fontcolor and the Size of the Numbers? I tried to change the values in the WP_Advent_Plugin.css file, but it didn’t change anything. Can you please tell me what I have to change, to change the fontszise and color of the numbers?
Thank you for your support.
Hi,
I use WP 5.5.3 and when I use preview on the page with the shortcode NOTHING is shown.
Please help.
Best regards
Albert
]]>Hey,
the quality of the background image for my calender is very low.
How can I result a better quality?
I tested a lot of different images with different sizes and resolutions, but it seems like the plugin is setting the quality down.
Thank you in advance.
]]>Hi Guys,
I need your help urgently, so I will be most grateful for your prompt reply.
I downloaded your plugin to my online store, but not sure it’s suitable for the store rather than a Blog. So my questions is: can I link each day of the calendar to a particular product? If so, how do I do that?
]]>I’ve installed the plugin and filled every door.
1.12.19 0:00 the first door will open.
But nothing works now.
What can i do?
]]>He,
I choose a background image for the calendar, but there is a “white overlay” for all future doors. The past doors and the door from today there is no “whote overlay”. How can I “clear” this overlay? sry for my bad english…
Unfortunately I can’t give you a link, cause it’s a test site…
Thanks for your help.
]]>Hi
I have just install the plugin and activate it, but where can i find it in backend?
I have the newest version of wordpress, maybe thats why i cant find it
Hi there,
it seems that this plugin doesn’t fit to the custom CSS settings of the theme or the plugin itself in lightbox settings.
If I change the CSS file of the plugin for the lightbox (e.g. font family or color) nothing happens. Instead the main basic stylesheet options of my theme are adopted e.g. standard font family and standard button color which I already changed in my theme settings – but the plugin ignores that!
The funny thing is that this problem only appears in the lightbox window. The view of the calendar day fields is perfect and even adopts my font settings of the theme (a Google webfont btw). But if I click on a day and the lightbox opens, it’s all gone.
I found some older topics about that problem from last year. Have you ever investigated in that further? That would be great because your plugin is really awesome!
Many greetings
Bastian
I need to test the calendar, allowing my client to click and actually test the various days. How can I do?
thanks.
I added the WP Advent plugin to my website which worked very well. Unfortunately, the image size of the calender is resized automatically by shortening the image on the left and the right side. I already tried several sizes but always get the same result.
Concerning the calender sheets per day, I found out that the complete design of my website is not displayed on these pages. It would be good to have the blog page on theses pages as well to keep viewers active within the blog.
Hope to get some ideas from you guys where to find the right settings within the plugin – thanks!
]]>I′m using also this plugIn: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/audio-story-images/
https://meowapps.com/audio-story-images/)
Sadly the audio-linked-pictures don′t play audio in your calender.
Maybe it′s easy to make it possible !?
Thanks a lot
Hello,
first: I like your plugin:) But I have a problem: I need different picture for days for my project, is this possible? Thanks ??
I’ve traced down a compatibility issue with the popular NextGen Gallery.
When I install and activate ‘WP Advent’ on my site where NextGen Gallery is already active, I cannot open the ‘Gallery Settings’ of any Gallery anymore.
Menu: Gallery > Manage Galleries > pick any existing Gallery and try to drop down the ‘Gallery Settings’
I’ve reproduced this issue on a second web site.
The current workaround is:
– to deactive the wp advent login
– make the changes in the NextGen Gallery and
– re-activate wp advent again
Hello,
Is it possible to reset the days to correct order after randomising them?
Thank you.
]]>Hello,
Just updated the plugin to latest version and the lightbox has stopped working with Edge browser. On clicking the date, the page opens in the browser window rather than in the lightbox.
All remains fine with Chrome and Firefox. Can you suggest a solution please?
Thanks
This was working fine December 1st. I would click on the day, the lightbox showed an image, the lyrics to the carol, and the music file for the carol would play. Now the image and text looks right, but multiple carol files seem to be playing at once now. I’ve looked where I’ve embedded the music files, and there just seems to be one song embedded per day. My versions are current, and I haven’t made any changes to the site since the 1st.
]]>After the update to Version 1.3.3 the Glightbox produces a slideshow from the current and all past advent calender images! ;( Why? This is makes no sense! Please change it back to one image per day, or tell me how i can do it.
BTW: What are you doing? Every update makes the plugin (felt) worse. At the beginning it just fulfilled the expectations.
]]>When opening a calendar entry with mobile devices (Frontend), only a small stripe is shown. 3/4 of the Display are blacked out. You have to manually scroll down if you want to Show more than 4 Lines oder Pictures. I deactivated lightbox (and other) plugins, changed themes, but still ist just a small stripe. I think it is an issue with the lightbox used within the plugin.
Is there any possibility to expand this stripe?
In german: Sobald man ein Kalenderdatum im Frontend auf einem Mobiltelefon ausw?hlt, sieht man nur einen schmalen Streifen und muss mühsam herumscrollen. Ich habe Plugins deaktiviert, Themes ge?ndert, aber ich vermute, dass diese Einschr?nkung an Lightbox-Einstellungen h?ngt. Kann man das so ?ndern, dass das sich ?ffnende Fenster gr??er wird?
]]>Hi,
if i dont activate the “Open in new tab”-Option in the image options, the linked page opens inside the iframe of the lightbox / glightbox. This is not usefull. It would be better if a click on the image opens the linked web page in the whole browser window or tab.
Could you please fix it, offer an option in the backend or at least give me the code snippet so I can add it myself? ??
]]>Does this plugin work on IE11?
My implementation seem to work on all major browsers except for IE11.
On IE11 when I hit 1st Dec. the glightbox does not pop up properly and is loading forever. The ‘running circle’ stays there forever. Is this a general issue or am I doing something wrong?
