In reply to: [CoursePress Learning Management System] Course Press Without User LoginHi Bojan,
I will try the plugin’s forum to see if I can get enough support for an open course for guests, I have paid for three months so hopefully something might happen in that time.If I was to use the Plugin’s translations file this would be overwritten every time you issued an update.
Hopefully

In reply to: [CoursePress Learning Management System] Course Press Without User LoginHi Bojan,
I had already tried the setup from your images, it could work if the Unit Link was not disables and the Free link was hidden.If there was an option to choose either showing the ‘Free’ link or the ‘Unit Name’ being the link.
Kind Regards

In reply to: [CoursePress Learning Management System] Course Press Without User LoginHi Bojan,
The description of “Course Press” is quite misleading, not everyone wants users to logon, I work as a freelance consultant (not WordPress) my website is to showcase my skills and give free information, I was looking for a way to bring code examples as units that anyone visiting the site can follow and read step by step.I read and signed up for 3 months for “Course Press Pro” as it says:
“Whether you’re selling or sharing your knowledge, this plugin will save you time and make your work stand out.”Free and teasers posts are a part of the description, if you have to sign up for anything at any point before reading it, it is no longer free, as you have given you name and email in return for the alleged “Free Content”.
Here is where I am coming from, I like many many people will close a webpage that is offering free information or a e-learning pdf if it asked for my email or to register, as I do not want to be spammed after.
I would like to be able to share knowledge to attract future clients without requiring a login, looking at other uses for this plugin could be step by step support guides for a product where login would also not be required.
Thinking “out the box” a little and you have, online manuals with step by step online Instructions for Flat Pack furniture, recipes, growing plants, after market car part online fitting instruction, craft kits, models, anything that is supplied in parts and requires step by step instructions.
I only wanted this plugin for visitors to be able to follow code instructions for free with no logon, so I will have to request a cancellation and refund ??

In reply to: [Meta Box] Plugin Admin Area MissingHi awarren,
This plugin is not an admin style setup plugin but a functional code type plugin.In a theme you would create a child theme and add code into the functions.php file to show the meta-boxes in the admin section.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Shipping Local Delivery UK Post Code OutersJust for reference and to see how important the wildcard search was there are 857 different postcodes with the OX26 outer!
That is a small radius that will need extending to surrounding areas
David ??
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WooCommerce] Shipping Local Delivery UK Post Code OutersI found the solution on GitHub it looks like the Wildcard feature is planned for a future update!
So I used the code, when testing I was able to set the Zip/Post Code Filter to OX26*, and it all worked out the box ??
Many Many thanks to the developers!

In reply to: How-to: Two post columns Twenty ElevenHi Lee,
You need to use a custom loop to get the custom post types, so they are filtered before the loop, as a rule index.php only shows type==postHave a look at creating a page of posts template for your custom post type.
Then call your custom loop in the page template, create an empty page and apply the template.

In reply to: twenty ten child themeHi Morton,
Quite right, apologies, I tested again today, the issue was the child theme I was testing with was a twenty eleven child theme and not a twenty ten child theme, I have not worked with twenty ten since the twenty eleven theme came out.So this would have not worked in any case, in a twenty eleven child!
add_filter( 'twentyten_header_image_width', 'my_header_width' );
Just as a footnote if we look in the parent themes, constants and theme functions are not in the ‘after_theme_setup’ hook function, however all the setup data, theme options, sidebars, menu’s, header image sizes etc: are all done within the ‘after_theme_setup’ hook function, for late binding.
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twentyeleven_setup' ); add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twentyten_setup' );
So by adding the code into a ‘after_theme_setup’ hook function it could be seen as good coding practice, as it follows the way the parent theme is coded, both bits of our code are correct, we will differ on the best practice!
I use the ‘after_theme_setup’ hook so the values would not be over written anywhere else, in an include file etc:
If at a later date one of your students wants to create a full new theme to add to the WordPress directory, then using a pluggable function for the ‘after_theme_setup’ hook would be the best practice to allow child themes to over-ride part or the whole setup function, early adoption of pluggable functions is not a bad thing, a ot of the time we know the state of a variable but we still test if it is set.
<?php if( isset($my_variable) && $my_variable ) echo $my_variable ?>

In reply to: Display Alt Text under a Post ThumbnailNice column layout, did you use post classes?
I used them recently for different layouts per category, you might find something handy as it only uses one WordPress post image size for all seven different layouts.
Photography and news like your theme needs a clean simple look, with dashed borders, here is the twenty eleven child photo/magazine theme!
