Hi, same here. I love how these pages look:
https://nkdev.info/docs/ and
https://nkdev.info/docs/monsterplay-html/
But as I am using it (I have the Divi Theme installed) – then I looks just completely white and Looks weird to me.

Functionality works, but it is also really beautiful, on these pages … so what exactly do I have to do to make it look alike? I tried different things, also the default templates from WordPress like twenty-nineteen, twenty-twenty, twenty-twentyone. It looks every where a little different, but I did not make it to look as your beautiful original.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thx, Arne

Same for me. I was looking for details around this plugin and got to your quote.
But could you please also explain what you did not like, other it isn’t helpful to others.

Thx, Arnegger

Hi, this subject of external cron jobs did not let me go. Especially, since the way it works right now is (as mentioned above already) to trigger the update cron at user access, which results in a “Maintanance” Message instead of showing the website. Now every website owner who tries everything to get users to their websites know how bad it is to do everything possible to get people to the site and then simply have them leave the site, because there is only this stupid Maintanance Message. This is especially hard if we are thinking about paid traffic… .

However: Since your Plugin is simply the best out there I found, I rethought the whole thing and came up with the following idea: Maybe one of these two ways could work. Basically what I am aiming for is https://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/wordpress/how-to-replace-wordpress-cron-with-a-real-cron-job to have this done (but only for the handled updates). Do you think this could work?

Else I came up with this idea: Disabeling Autoupdates in the config.php (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates) – now I am not sure if this could work, since I assume you are using exactly these – and my suggestion would be to disable it in the config.php and then have it run from the plugin itself. If this would not work, maybe it would be a solution to have a timer in there, which would enable the autoupdates maybe in a given time (such as 3 a.m.) the user could choose himself. Then the user could decide to start (for example at 3:00 the plugin, have at 3:01 a cron triggered (simply by simulating an external cron accessing the website). Then at for example 3:05 the time frame is over and set back to off… .

Like here is something about the scheduled events in WP: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/wp_schedule_event

Or one other thing I found was this: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/10/schedule-events-using-wordpress-cron/ maybe it would work with something alike?

Hm – do you think any of these could work? That would be so great. Because honestly: Your Plugins is the best and I would love seeing this implemented. And I am sure, every website owner who ever thought of buying traffic, who understands that the plugin starts the update process because a user accesses the website, would also LOVE to have this implemented as mentioned… – …if possible. ??

Let me know your thoughts about it.. .

Ah – now I understand. I have tried exactly this. But I was not aware that it will OVERWRITE a already existing one. So do you think there would be a option adding additional ones, instead of overwriting? Same way, would work perfectly (adding at preferences page), but instead of overwriting it would be GREAT to be able to ADD additional delays and durations.

Hi, I am also badly wanting this plugin (since it has been written really well), for custom post types. Do you think there is a possibility of implementing this maybe in a future update?

Hi, wait a minute… I guess now slowly I am getting it. The snippets will be automatically included into the functions.php file? They are actually not to be included into the text editor in a post or page at all??? Or could I still include them into the text editor in a post/page as shortcodes?

Hi and thank you for your answer: I am aware of that. I have used other Plugins before to enter PHP-Code in posts/pages such as “PHP Execution” in example. BUT: Within PHP Execution you enter the PHP-Code directly into the post/pages HTML Tab in the editor. Now this is exactly my question: It appears to me (what I like) that with your plugin I may manage snippets and add new snippets in the manage snippets area. BUT: After adding new snippets: HOW DO THESE SNIPPETS COME INTO THE POST OR PAGE?

Do you understand? This is my question. How do I get this code into the post. I would guess via [shortcode] ??? Or how is this entered? If I would enter it the regular way: Just putting the plain PHP Code (just like with “PHP Execution”) into the posts editor? I do not get it…

So please be so kind and answer this question of mine, so I may learn how to put the php snippet into the post editor. Thank you.

Regards, Arnegger

Thank you so much for your update. Great.
About your third paragraph regarding displaying snippet code there must have been some miss understanding. I am not interested in that at all. What I meant was the possibility to have a dropdownlist within the editor, so I could easily pick a code snippet and it gets inserted into the post automatically (by choosing from the dropdownlist). THX so much!
Great – your site is also up again. ??

Hi, the website for the documentation seem to be down. Could you please inform me as soon as it is up again? Your plugin looks very valuable!
