Same here. I didn’t know what was happening to start with, until I noticed my logs showing 17 backups one after the other (I have a multisite with 17 sites) for scheduled jobs. The worst thing is I have set my backups to keep the last 10 for daily, weekly and monthly backups. Now all my backups have been wiped with the same or similar backups for the same day, week or month.

I don’t want to use third part con services. If this can’t be fixed soon, I’m going to have to find another backup plugin which is a shame because your plugin has worked great up until now.

Has this add-on been updated yet to work with Slimstat 4.x?

Thanks,
Adrian

Great. I will keep an eye out for when the add-on is updated to work with 4.x.

Is there any chance that it will work on the main blog site, or do you have to be logged into the network admin area? The reason I ask is, I have users that I want to be able to see what this add-on shows, but they are not not admins so can’t login into the network admin area.

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Eddiebouncer,

I just did a search for where $sort was being used and added the extra $order argument.

You first need to get and store the shortcode attribute. I my case I called it order. The plugin author was already getting the sort attribute, so I copied his code and configured it get the order attribute.

Look for the line where

$sort = (isset($atts['sort']) ? sanitize_text_field($atts['sort']) : null);

And then add the following after or before it

$order = (isset($atts['order']) ? sanitize_text_field($atts['order']) : null);

You then need to jump down 50 or so lines for the following (around line 470) and add the $order variable to function calls that also have $sort.

// check if the attribute "only" is used
	switch ($only_cpt) {
		// display only PAGE
		case 'page':
			return wsp_return_content_type_page($is_title_displayed, $is_get_only_private, $display_nofollow, $wsp_exclude_pages, $sort, $order).$copyright_link;
			break;
		// display only POST
		case 'post':
			return wsp_return_content_type_post($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow, $display_post_only_once, $wsp_exclude_pages, $sort, $order).$copyright_link;
			break;
		// display only ARCHIVE
		case 'archive':
			return wsp_return_content_type_archive($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow).$copyright_link;
			break;
		// display only AUTHOR
		case 'author':
			return wsp_return_content_type_author($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow, $sort, $order).$copyright_link;
			break;
		// display only CATEGORY
		case 'category':
			return wsp_return_content_type_categories($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow, $sort, $order).$copyright_link;
			break;
		// display only TAGS
		case 'tag':
			return wsp_return_content_type_tag($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow).$copyright_link;
			break;
		// empty
		case '':
			// nothing but do
			break;
		default:
			// check if it's the name of a CPT

			// extract CPT object
			$cpt = get_post_type_object( $only_cpt );

			if ( !empty($cpt) ) {
				return wsp_return_content_type_cpt_items( $is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow, $cpt, $only_cpt, $wsp_exclude_pages, $sort, $order );
			}

			// check if it's a taxonomy
			$taxonomy_obj = get_taxonomy( $only_cpt );

			if ( !empty($taxonomy_obj) ) {
				return wsp_return_content_type_taxonomy_items($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow, $taxonomy_obj, $wsp_exclude_pages);
			}
			// end
	}

Do a search for each of those functions and add the $order variable to their argument list. For example, around line 900 you can find the custom post type function.

function wsp_return_content_type_cpt_items( $is_title_displayed=true, $display_nofollow=false, $cpt, $post_type, $wsp_exclude_pages, $sort=null, $order=null )

Inside each of those functions you need to add the following before the call to $posts_cpt = get_posts( $args ) is made.

// change the sort order
if ($order!=null){
	$args['order'] = $order;
}

That should be about all. If you know some PHP it shouldn’t be hard to implement. But hopefully the plugin will be able to implement this kind of feature.

Hi Shazzad,

Did you confirm this as a bug?

I currently have one page where I have four lists with pagination and ajax=1 and have no issues with the add_args = ” All lists behave correctly and don’t lose their position as I navigate through them.

With a page that has multiple lists with pagination and ajax=0, when the page reloads when clicking a pagination link, the other lists loose their position and reset to 1. Is this what you are talking about? If so, I don’t see that an issue since the page has reloaded.

Adrian

Thanks Shazzad,

This problem has been bothering me for a few weeks. I tried looking for another plugin, but couldn’t find anything as good as yours, so I just spent a few hours isolating the issue.

I’m not sure why this problem didn’t arise on a single site compared with multisite. I can’t see anything there that would make a difference.

Anyway, I’m glad the issue is fixed.

Regards,
Adrian

Hi, Shazzad,

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately my site is only running on localhost at the moment.

I managed to trace the issue to the following in wordpress’s general-template.php, around line 2680.

if ( $add_args )
	$link = add_query_arg( $add_args, $link );
	$link .= $args['add_fragment'];

It is changing the correct links with the $add_args array. WordPress generates this array by the ?page16=3 in the url.

I think what you need to do is add an empty ‘add_args’ to the array (see below in your code from the navigation() function ) you send paginate_links. This will then stop wordpress adding its default.

$return = paginate_links( array(
				'type' 		=> $nav_type,
				'base' 		=> $base,
				'format' 	=> $base,
				'current' 	=> $paged,
				'total' 	=> $max_num_pages,
				'end_size' 	=> 2,
				'mid_size' 	=> 2,
				'prev_text' => $prev_text,
				'next_text' => $next_text,
				'add_args'	=> ''
			));

When I do this, my problem is solved!

Thanks for your help.

Ok, I’m in the process of trying to debug this problem since I haven’t heard back from anyone. When I list a page for the first time, the paginate_links() returns the following (ps. I’ve also added the $base, $paged and $max_num_pages variables to the error log):

[16-Feb-2015 22:38:32 UTC] base = ?page16=%#%
[16-Feb-2015 22:38:32 UTC] paged = 1
[16-Feb-2015 22:38:32 UTC] max_num_pages = 7

[16-Feb-2015 22:38:32 UTC] <span class='page-numbers current'>1</span>
<a href='?page16=2'>2</a>
<a href='?page16=3'>3</a>
<span class="page-numbers dots">…</span>
<a href='?page16=6'>6</a>
<a href='?page16=7'>7</a>
<a href="?page16=2">Next</a>

Now when I click on page 2 link, paginate_links() lists the following:

16-Feb-2015 22:38:44 UTC] base = ?page16=%#%
[16-Feb-2015 22:38:44 UTC] paged = 2
[16-Feb-2015 22:38:44 UTC] max_num_pages = 7

[16-Feb-2015 22:38:44 UTC] <a href="?page16=2">Previous</a>
<a href='?page16=2'>1</a>
<span class='page-numbers current'>2</span>
<a href='?page16=2'>3</a>
<a href='?page16=2'>4</a>
<span class="page-numbers dots">…</span>
<a href='?page16=2'>6</a>
<a href='?page16=2'>7</a>
<a href="?page16=2">Next</a>

As you can see, the links for all pages are 2 and this is why I can’t get past the second page. If I click on page 4 to start with instead of 2, then all the links returned are 4.

I’m not sure if this is an issue with your plugin or with wordpress. As I said in my first post, the problem doesn’t seem to exist if I run a single site instead of a multisite.

Hi Shazzad,

Have you been able to replicate the issue I reported a week ago? Is your plugin compatible with a multisite?

Thanks,
Adrian

I found the issue to my problem. In the process of trying to find what was causing my link issue, I turned on the option “the_post:” in the expert area. I’m not sure why, but it was actually listing not only the footnotes for the page being viewed in my widget area at the bottom of the page, but it was listing a host of other footnotes (from other pages) even further down in the post. Turning it off fixed the issue.

Wow! Your plugin just keeps better. The new feature works wonderfully. Thanks

Ok thanks for the reply. I’ll forget about adding the grouping and just stick with ordering by modified date.

Unfortunately my site is only local at the moment so there is no way for you to have a look. But it wouldn’t be hard for you to replicate it. I just had the options:

– Order post by modified date
– Group by year months

and then the code above, except it stripped out my brs. It should have been:

[groups]
<h3>[group_title] </h3>
[posts]
[post_modified_date format="M. j, Y"] - <a href="[post_permalink]">[post_title]</a> <br />
[/posts]
<br />
[/groups]

It helps to have a lot posts that have recently been updated to see the problem.

Hi Shazzard,

Thank you so much. It will mean I can reduce my dependence on one more plugin. Your plugin will be the only one I need now to display my posts in the various ways that I do. I’m sure once the option is there, people will find a use for it.

Thank you for a great plugin,
Adrian

Hi John,

Thank you so much for your quick response. That worked and now I don’t need to rely upon one more plugin. By the way, if you didn’t already know, your plugin is great ?? Thank your for all the hard work you have put into it.

Regards,
Adrian
