Just my 2 cents worth, but requiring your average plugin user to now have to use filters for a range of options and functions that used to be accessible via the plugin admin seems baffling and bizarre.

I’m not sure why you are taking the plugin in this direction, but you are making it less usable for many or perhaps most people.

From a developer’s point of view it may seem simple to add a snippet to functions.php or even a snippet plugin – but why?! If you for some reason feel these options shouldn’t be so visible(?), why not have an ‘advanced’ tab where they are accessible for those who want to change things?!

By requiring people to use filters to tune the plugin, you are needlessly complicating things and overall, making this plugin a far less attractive backup option.

I don’t know of anyone who will be saying ‘Hurrah! now my settings for this plugin are spread all over my installation and I can keep a notebook to remember where those are and what those settings were and can tweak a bunch of snippets any time I need to change things! Happy days!’

Please consider restoring these functions to the plugin admin!

And, yes, thank you for your work on the plugin and for contributing to the WordPress ecosystem. This has been a great plugin, I hope it continues to be a good backup option ??

Thanks @riaanknoetze – that’s exactly where I’d expect to find it!

Not appearing there on our site, so I’ll dive into the staging site and start looking at plugin conflicts etc.

Thanks!

Hi Clinton – Nice, works perfectly!

Thanks!

Hi Clinton – haven’t managed to debug the form issue mentioned above, but have successfully used the plugin on another site with a table shortcode so that’s handy – thanks!

One thing I have noticed that differs from collapse-o-matic and possibly the majority of other accordion plugins/implementations I’ve used/seen is the title area you click on to open shifts to the bottom of the open content area rather than remaining fixed at the top.

Not sure if changing that to stay at the top is easily made into an option, but it would possibly make for a better user experience given many people would expect that block to remain fixed at the top.

Thanks for your work on the plugin!

Thanks Clinton!

Did a quick trial and at the moment something is breaking the form that is being inserted by shortcode into the collapsible area. I’m a bit flat out at the moment but when I get a chance will investigate further.

It’s a fairly involved website, so could be any number of things, but whatever it is, it’s not affecting the collapse-o-matic set up (being tested on a secure staging site ??

4.1.3 hasn’t resolved this issue on any of the sites I maintain.

Love this plugin – thanks for your work ??

+1

Thanks!

Hi @t-p thanks for your help to date on this – I’m wondering if you are able to see the full suite of options you mentioned above:

– “Spotlight mode”
– “Fullscreen mode”
– “distraction free”

…in the ‘Site editor’, assuming you were referring to the ‘Page editor’ above?

Thanks

So t-p, I guess the next thing I’m going to ask is – are you seeing all the toggle options in the ‘site editor’ or only in the ‘page editor’?

Ok, I’m taking some of that back ??

Not sure if it changed anything, but I hunted down some caching in the hosting and turned it off – but…

If I chose ‘Site editor’ only the two toggles are present (on the Home page, only ‘Site editor’ is available for some reason and I was mainly checking that after adjustments), on other pages where the ‘edit page’ option is also available and I choose that, the full suite of options are showing.

Yep, 1.1

Update: If I create a new post or page the full suite of toggles *are present* in Options: Top toolbar, Spotlight mode, Fullscreen mode, Distraction free.

But on existing pages, only Top toolbar and Spotlight mode are showing.

That’s on Twenty Twenty-Three, no plugins active, no errors showing, Site Health seems fine. Install is pretty fresh, just default theme content.

OK, wow. That’s odd. Wonder where mine have gone!?

I’ll keep investigating the install.

Hi Thanks for your reply!

So you’re saying it should be there?

As I just found this https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/site-editor/?unapproved=235&moderation-hash=5e7feba7af1233923becc9cbb9e15fe9&feedback_submitted=1#how-to-export-templates-and-styles possibly more recent article which has an image of the same are – without the Fullscreen toggle.

Also wonder if ‘Fullscreen mode’ is now called ‘Distraction Free Mode’ as seen here https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/wordpress-version/version-6-2/#focus-on-writing-with-distraction-free-mode unfortunately, that page doesn’t seem to link to anywhere esp useful in terms of an in-depth user guide for the updated block editor – which addresses each of the headings on that page.

Which seems really odd, so perhaps I’m missing something.

Already using a default theme. Deactivated all plugins, still not there.
