In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Next page not workingAfter upgrading the base product, you must re-download the extension. The upgrade process deletes all the files. (A design problem that I am working on, but unable to correct with this release.)
To re-load the extension, go to the plugin settings tab, and if the download button is not showing, change the time between checks for update to 0, save options, download extension and then reset the time to 360.
Setting the time to 360, improves the performance and should be reset.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Next page not workingI may have resolved the problem with pagination on the front page for your site. With release 3.2.0, there is corrected code to use the page variable instead of paged for a static home page. I was able to recreate the pagination problem on my test theme and the patch corrected it.
Add the option fp_pagination=’true’ to the shortcode on the front page.
When you upgrade, remember to reload the extension on the setting tab. I will close this issue in a couple weeks unless you report it is still not working.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] custom taxonomyMy hosting service has been changing their network and the site has been up and down. The contact page is working now. Thanks for the heads up.
Tax_query:
from the codex on wp_query, the format of the taxonomy query is
'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'people', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'bob' )
To create this structure to pass as a parameter through the plugin, use:
tax_query='{"taxonomy":"type","field":"slug","terms":("value1","value2")}'
if you are testing more complex taxonomy, then the relation option is required and each taxonomy must be created as a separate array, which is what the example is trying to show.

In reply to: [ABASE] Format for "update"Looks like you have two sets of double quotes:
form=""1,update"" table=""Detail""
should beform="1,update" table="Detail"
check all the fields.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [ABASE] Format for "Insert"I have the same issue and did not find the combination of parms to display the insert in rows. I did shorten the fields so all the columns would display:
FistName!'100',LastNme!'100',Memo!'200'
That is not the solution, but does provide a work around.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] youtube embeds not workingOne other thing to try is wrapping the url in the [embed] tag
[embed] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrmUy3YUIYY [/embed]
It may there must be a line after the url if the embed is just the url — see the codex for embed.
It may be the url is the last line on the post and it is not be decoded correctly when being brought into the page.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] youtube embeds not workingI was not able to reproduce this problem on my test site.
If you have Jetpack you can use a short-code and get the video to work as an interim step
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrmUy3YUIYY]
With wp 3.8 it is working. Here is the code I tried
show a video <code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrmUy3YUIYY</code>

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Next page not workingI really don’t know what is going on with your site. I have this plugin working on several sites with various themes without a problem. For pagination, it uses the basic WP feature. That makes me suspect (1) the theme has modified the pagination or (2) a plugin has modified the pagination.
One easy test is to deactivate your plugins and see if pagination starts working. Beyond that, I don’t have any simple ideas. The next step is to have someone look at the code to debug this problem. That can be a bit time consuming and I am not in a position to provide that level of support for all the various combinations of themes and plugins.
If I find something I will post back here, but at the moment it is a low priority as it is working on other sites.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] fields="content" (no title) still makes links!there are two options to work with thumbnail_size=”none” and thumbnail_link=”false”.
Try the thumbnail_size first and see if that suppresses the link. Then the other.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Aligning excerpt with featured imageThe tpg-excerpt-class has a clear:both; set. This can be set to none to allow the excerpt to float.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Next page not workingI am not sure why this is not working. I have seen this problem with one other theme.
I looked at the archives to see how the theme handles paging and it shows the index numbers. Check the following:
1) make sure more than 5 posts are being selected. I feel confident more than 5 are selected, but make sure.
2) Re-save your permalinks (Settings -> Permalinks)
3) the plugin without the page_next=’true’
if the paging works without the page_next option, then that indicates
the theme does not support showing just the prev/next buttons.Please post your results back.
If it does work, then try the following
3) nicer formatting try adding field_classes=”pagination=tpg-pagination-class page-numbers”

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Plugin changes text formattingyour theme sets the <p> at 1.8em see style.css line 247. This is almost double spacing of lines.
You can set a custom class with line-height:none; and assign the custom class to the post content for the front page shortcode. This will override the theme setting.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Plugin changes text formattingIf you click on the post heading to show the individual post, it is all double spaced. This is set by the theme.
In the post, the first paragraph is not wrapped with a <p> tag, but the second paragraph is. This is probably due to a difference in the the way the post is entered.
Look at the post in the post editor under the text tab and you should see differences in the <p> tags around the first and second paragraph. I would expect to see no <p> around the first paragraph. Add or remove the <p> tags to get the formatting you desire.
