Sorry, it was late last night and I totally forgot that I needed to install this extra stuff:

https://themovation.helpscoutdocs.com/article/196-polylang-customizer-theme-ooptions

This has fixed it entirely.

Thank you so much, Long! I’ve installed the Github solution and it seems to be working. I’m making my way through the sections. I’m sure this will help others in a similar situation too.

The problem is with the URL field setup, which doesn’t accept the usage of ‘[:en]’ before the website (which breaks the link). The ‘Company’ field strips out the code, so I don’t see how Qtranslate-X can provide a fix when it’s not their field setup causing the problem. The other two fields work fine with Qtranslate-X.

This isn’t resolved as much as refused. :/

Thanks very much, lamday – for the links, help and general info.

@axiosil, the github link shows that there will be a fix in the next release.

Thanks very much: the js and css changes have indeed fixed the problem. When you release any updates for the plug-in, I guess we’ll need to go and do the same thing again?

Hi. I’m sorry for not getting back to you sooner, and thanks for your reply. I’m not the person who purchased the web hosting so I’m awaiting their action. AS this is a charity site (ie, unpaid work for all of us involved), it’s not likely to happen before the weekend, but I *will* reply here either way to let you know how it goes.

There’s a super-easy workaround to this. I installed the ‘Timeline Express – HTML Excerpts’ plug-in and used the alternative text box which has no limit.

It’s just a pity that I can’t use more than one timeline without going pro (I’d hoped to use a super-short version without the ‘red more’ option on a home page, then the extended version on a separate page).

Still not working after WP 4.7.2 was automatically installed. Shall I just give up then and install something else that works?

Don’t worry. I sorted it.

For anyone needing the same, you need to add the map to a page, and add the following code into home_landing.php (presuming you’re using the default layout):

$id = 4;
$p = get_page($id);
echo apply_filters('the_content', $p->post_content);

My page that holds the map has an ID is 4. You need to change yours accordingly.

Thanks for this code: I’ve implemented it onto my site, but it doesn’t quite work the way I would like it to.

The adverts do not appear under the first two posts of a page pulled together for a common tag. For example, if someone clicks on a word in the tag cloud to display all related posts, no GoogleAds appear under any of the items.

Is there a workaround?

Thank you heyjoe! That worked a treat. Such an obvious thing too. Hopefully it will help anyone else looking here for the answer.

I’m having this problem and caching has never been turned on. It’s driving me nuts! The WP-tree screen seems to lose anything I type into the exclusions box rather than write it to whatever file it’s meant to write it to. I’m happy to edit that directly if you can point me in the right direction.

Sorry, due to being unable to use the bold feature within code, that came out wrong. It should look like this:

<?php
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
{
ob_start();
bloginfo(‘template_directory’);
$a = ob_get_clean();

register_sidebar(array(
‘before_widget’ => ‘<!– //start sideitem //–><div class=”sideitem”><div class=”sideitemtop”><img src=”‘.$a.’/img/stl.gif” alt=”” width=”15″ height=”15″ class=”corner” style=”display: none” /></div><div class=”widgetbody”>‘,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div><div class=”sideitembottom”><img src=”‘.$a.’/img/sbl.gif” alt=”” width=”15″ height=”15″ class=”corner” style=”display: none” /></div></div><!– //end sideitem //–>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h2>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,
));
}
?>

Well, in case anyone is wondering, I fixed it by doing two steps:

1. I added a new style to my css called “widgetbody” that set the left and right padding only.

2. In my ‘functions.php’ file, I added <div class=”widgetbody”> to the end of the ‘before widget’ code, and a closing </div> to the start of the ‘after widget’ code.

On the off-chance it helps someone else as frustrated as I’ve been getting with the lack of help for so many questions asked on this forum, it looks like this:

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
{
	ob_start();
	bloginfo('template_directory');
	$a = ob_get_clean();

	register_sidebar(array(
        'before_widget' => '<!-- //start sideitem //--><div class="sideitem"><div class="sideitemtop"><img src="'.$a.'/img/stl.gif" alt="" width="15" height="15" class="corner" style="display: none" /></div><strong><div class="widgetbody"></strong>',
        'after_widget' => '<strong></div></strong><div class="sideitembottom"><img src="'.$a.'/img/sbl.gif" alt="" width="15" height="15" class="corner" style="display: none" /></div></div><!-- //end sideitem //-->',
        'before_title' => '<h2>',
        'after_title' => '</h2>',
    ));
}
?>

…so…that’s a no then?
