Josh,
the “Insert/Edit Advanced Link” button doesn’t work for me. If you do not experience what I detail below, perhaps it’s just my install.

What should happen is when I’ve highlighted linked text (or set my cursor somewhere in linked text), and then click that button:

• the dialog should prefill with the URL of the hyperlink. Currently it just shows the example text.
• and it would be nice to see a “Target” default (I want all links to open in a new tab, so if the advanced link remembered the last choice, great)
• To top it off, when I fill all that info in, and then click the “Insert & Close” button, nothing happens. The dialog stays open, nothing changes.

The only reason I really want the advanced link to work is that it seems WP’s default link dialog doesn’t allow for “Title” text of hyperlinks.

Thanks for looking into this.

If you highlight an acronym and want a tooltip to pop up explaining what the acronym stands for, the Text field will actually be the acronym and the acronym field will actually be the text. They’re turned around, trust me. give it a try.

The advanced link button will not work at all for me–if I want a tool tip or alt text on my link, I cannot do with your advanced link feature. It is broken.

Did you ever figure this out? When you say “redirect”, do you mean “open link in new tab”? I’m having that problem.

Oh yes, it works. Thank you!

Hi Carolina,

Were you able to make headway on the disappearing icons problem?

Thanks

Sounds good, thanks for the help.

Thank you for providing help!

I may have explained this poorly, I do not have a problem with any widgets.

It’s the “Latest Posts” Blog Post Summary Default: Portrait Image that I really want, but I want to style it so it doesn’t force max height or “square” shape and then cut off any side overflow width of a landscape-oriented image.

See screenshot image:

And for inside the Single Post Blog Post Head Content Default : Image styling. It seems to force Max Width, and cuts off top/bottom overflow. I would rather it just allowed the image to be Contained, so the whole image is shown, whether it’s got a portrait or landscape orientation – and I do not care if that means the image doesn’t take up the entire width of the post. (or at least allow the height of that div to be unconstrained, I don’t care if that means the header image is a different height per post).

See screenshot image:

If you can give me some pointers on CSS child theme styling, I’d really appreciate it. So far, this is the only thing holding your theme back from near-perfection, in my eyes.

Is this plugin no longer supported? I also installed, yet cannot find signs of the plugin anywhere.

I have the same issue. It stopped mattering when I went to the home page and just turned its template into “landing page”, so it won’t display a sidebar anyway, and then I click the “show sidebar on home page” box, which is the only way to get the sidebar to appear on all the other pages. If I just click the box to show sidebar on all pages (but leave homepage sidebar unchecked), then the sidebar will “show”, as in take up space and obviously create a column on the right hand side, but it’s empty. It doesn’t have the widgets in it until I also click to show sidebar on home page.

Hope that helps.

That worked perfectly.

I created a child theme, and then pasted a version of your css in it:

/*
Theme Name: Platform Child Theme
Theme URI: http: https://xxxxxx.com/blog/wp-content/themes/platform-child
Description: This is a custom child theme for PageLines Platform theme.
Author: xxxxxx
Author URI: https://xxxxxx.com/blog
Template: platform
Version: 0.1
Text Domain: platform-child
*/
p.content-pagination {
	border: 4px solid #DC143C;
	padding: 5px 5px 5px 10px;
}
p.content-pagination span {
font-size: 36px;
}
p.content-pagination a {
font-size: 36px;
}
p.content-pagination .cp-desc {
color: black;
}

And of course, I did the “functions.php” file that’s necessary now when creating child themes.

This theme is called “Platform” from PageLines. It’s not supported anymore and I think its last update was 2011 or so (at least to the main css file, according to its date).

Anyway, I don’t think readers will so easily miss the pagination now. Thanks for the help.

finally got things working after deleting the .htaccess file at my webroot. Not sure what was in there, but it wasn’t screwing up just the plugin, but my phpinfo thought I had a prev. vsn of PHP installed than what I should’ve been using.

I think I’m starting to give up.

I’ve tried various .htaccess and php.ini boilerplate copy/paste settings, I’ve been on the phone w/ godaddy a few times, I tried to install PEAR and it hangs halfway through (thought it would be a way to get extensions enabled).

Godaddy says I should move from my current “old” hosting plan to one with c-panel. This would involve moving my site and setting everything up again. Sounds like a hassle.

Yeah, I thought the “something.text” was an eyebrow raiser, but apparently the guy at Godaddy thought it was good stuff… (worried face)

I’ll call them again tonight and go over it again.

BTW, you know how html5 has a boilerplate htaccess file? Is there a good boiler plate php5.ini file that I could put on my server that should cover the bases?

I called Godaddy. Apparently I didn’t have a php5.ini file at my web root.

Here’s what was written in the file:

‘<?php
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME, “/usr/share/misc/magic”); // return mime type ala mimetype extension

/* get mime-type for a specific file */
$filename = “/usr/local/something.txt”;
echo $finfo->file($filename);

?>’

First of all, is that good code?
2nd, it didn’t do anything to fix the problem. I even uninstalled and reinstalled.

But I also see this warning on the plugin screen:

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/content/XX/XXXXXX/html/blog/wp-content/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/common.php on line 3098

(I added the Xs)

Does this help?

Hi, I’m still working on this, just wanted to update.

Spent time trying to figure it out myself on Google, but finding documentation spotty on some of these things. I’ll just have to call Godaddy tonight, they’re usually pretty helpful. Will be in touch soon.
