Thanks for resolving the entry issue @hamza1010. You ask for a kind review, but I must acknowledge that I am disappointed in the stability of this plugin. My client has had at least 3-5 days of outage in each 5 of the last 6 months where the plugin has failed to connect to Square. In the past I have encouraged them to upgrade to the premium, but with the history of outages, it will not happen soon.

Now with the 4.0.4 release I am getting the following error in my development system.

Warning: Undefined variable $gpay in C:\Data\www\sslwebsites\wp\wp-content\plugins\wp-easy-pay\views\frontend\parent_view.php on line 145

You are in a very good position with your plugin, but it is the critical piece of online commerce and the stability must be better to truly be successful.

I have tried to running with php versions 7.4 and 8.1 with the same results.

Opening links in new tab:
I remember looking at this in the past and decided against adding that as a feature because links to the post are built on the image, title, read_more. At the time, I was trying to push out a release and did not want to add that feature.

I am really covered up this week, but will consider adding an option that will build the link with a target option.

Sorry I could not find an already designed solution.

Glad to hear this plugin still fits some needs.

1) I need to do some research on opening the links in a new tab. I think I have done that, but can’t recall immediately. It may be done thru the filters with some php code. Give me a few days to look into this.

2) The plugin will accept any option defined on https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/classes/wp_query/. So adding orderby=”title”, order=”DESC” to the list of option should resolve the order item. I have not selected this option for a while, so the syntax may need to be tweaked. See the examples

I suspect there may be something in the theme that is setting the Read More text (more_link_text).

Search the function file for ‘the_content_more_link’ and see if a filter is being applied and also check the theme settings to see if there is an option that can be set in the theme setup.

You also might try changing the text to a ‘.’ to see if setting to a blank is the problem.

You have identified the problem, but why is that happening? Here is the tab code from my system.

<a href="#gp-overview" class="ui-tabs-anchor" role="presentation" tabindex="-1" id="ui-id-1">Overview</a>

the code <!--?_e('Overview','tpg-get-posts')?--> is the php which outputs the text with a translation template. It appears to have been commented out with html comments <!--xxxx--> or it is possible that a translation file has been created but not correctly.

In the plugin language directory, there is a language file tpg-get-posts.pot. That is all that is in the folder. Try renaming it or make a copy of it and delete it to see if that clears up the problem.

If that fails, the brute force approach of deleting the plugin and reinstalling might clear it up. But if you just updated, then that has been done, so I am not hopeful it will clear the problem.

Have you done anything with translations?

From the screen shot, it looks like there is a javascript conflict. This is probably caused by another plugin or the theme. But this is a guess.

If you can determine what changes were made when the formatting broke and reverse those changes that will help identify the problem.

Try turning off some of the more recently added plugins to see if the problem is corrected, then update the plugin and extension. The other thing to try is to turn on debugging, that might show what is causing the problem.

After upgrading the base plugin, go to the settings tab, if the button to update the extension does not appear, set the option ‘Check for Update Freq’ to zero. Update the options and refresh the page. The update plugin button should appear.

I am unable to recreate the warning message you referenced. The current version of the plugin is 3.4.2, is that what you have installed? Are you running the premium extension?

It would be helpful if you could take a screen shot of the setting tab and the error message so I can recreate the problem. Send the directly to me at webmaster, tpginc.net.

Not at this time. The simple pagination is all that is offered.

I will look at this and see about the warning. I am in the process of making a couple of other changes and will post back here when the warning is resolved. Hopefully that will help with the response time in the admin panel.

Look at the fields option. You may want to drop the metadata.

fields=”title, byline, content”

But this removes all metadata.

With the premium extension, you can format the metadata, but it requires php knowledge and some digging through the doc to get things to format correctly.

A couple of ideas
– Make sure the extension updated (check the options page)
– look at the examples at https://www.tpginc.net/blog/wordpress-plugins/plugin-tpg_get_posts/pagination/ to see if there are some options that work for you
– search the forum to see what the issue was last time.

This is working on my test site, so it could be something with the theme. As I said in the doc, pagination seems to be very finicky.

I am unable to provide free website customization to all the sites using the plugin. I identified the class in which to make the css changes. If you need additional guidance, contact a local WP support person and ask them to show you how to make css changes.

What was the problem last time it broke and what did you do to correct the problem?

What have you tried this time?
