I think you’re going to have to create a regular expression redirect for this, but it shouldn’t be too hard. There’s a really good answer to this on Stack Overflow, but I think something like this would work:
/(\d*)/([A-Za-z0-9-]*)
replace with
/$2
Make sure you check the “Regular Expression” checkbox.

In reply to: [Portfolio Slideshow] Not my father's "Portfolio Slideshow"Hi there, I’m the original developer of Portfolio Slideshow. Amanda is correct, we handed the plugin over to Momnt a couple of years ago and they took over development. Momnt was George, who is still the primary developer, he’s just supporting the plugin from https://portfolioslideshow.com/ now.
George listed me as a developer on the plugin, but I haven’t been an active participant for more than two years. It looks like the plugin is being actively developed again, which is a good thing as some of the code was becoming quite out of date.
Since the plugin is being developed again, my recommendation is to give the latest version a try and see if it’s working for you. If not, try posting some very specific feedback here on which bugs/errors you’re experiencing and I’m sure the fixes will make their way back into the plugin. If you check the changelog you’ll see that the last couple of versions fixed a lot of things that got broken and updated the plugin to work with the latest versions of WordPress.
I can speak from experience as a plugin developer that’s it’s a tough job to maintain software that has to work with many different hosts, themes, and versions of WordPress, and it’s not always possible to respond to each and every bug report (especially for free software being developed on the nights and weekends), but those fixes do eventually make it back into the plugin.

In reply to: [WordPress SEO ACF Content Analysis] Good start!I’ve been playing with this a bit today and I’ve come up with a fairly simple solution. I don’t use the_content() on my sites at all, so I used wp_remote_get() and simplehtmldom.php to parse the content of my rendered template (with all of my repeaters, flexible fields, etc) and then write that HTML into the post_content field.

If you did use the_content() but still wanted to supplement with ACF fields, you could write this to a post meta field, and then append that field to the_content with the
wpseo_pre_analysis_post_content
filter instead.Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [WooCommerce] bad ideaYes, shipping with WooCommerce is very flexible with the right plugin, whether it’s table rate, shipping classes, or a dynamic price quote from your shipper of choice via API. Your review is not accurate at all, in my opinion – hope you do a little more research to discover how powerful WooCommerce is!

In reply to: [Advanced Custom Fields: Link Picker Field] Not workingSame issue. Seems like this plugin is not compatible with the latest version of ACF Pro & WordPress.

In reply to: [Nested Pages] AmazingActually, if I had one piece of feedback for the developer, I would consider separating out the “menu sync” functionality from the rest of the plugin. This beautiful drag and drop interface with nested children is exactly what I am looking for and I’m excited to use it. I can’t imagine using the menu sync feature myself. I’m sure other people do. Perhaps a business model where the core plugin is free & additional functionality like that is part of a paid extension pack, similar to how Advanced Custom Fields works.
I checked the “Hide Menu Sync Checkbox (Currently Disabled)” checkbox, but I still had to hide the “Add Link” and “Menu Options” buttons with CSS.
Since I would like to rely on this plugin long-term for client use, I would gladly pay a premium to know it will be updated to support new versions of WordPress as they’re released.

In reply to: [Nested Pages] Support for adding columnsI would find this useful too. I use Admin Columns to add additional information to the WordPress Pages overview, it would be nice to be able to use the same columns in this plugin as well.
I got this error message this morning as well. I went to the Akismet site to double-check my key and it said no key exists for my account.
I think my key may have been deactivated because I went over my monthly limit? One of my blogs had 100,000+ spam positives last month! Yikes.

In reply to: [Advanced Custom Fields (ACF?)] TerribleI have to disagree, I am a Pro user (not affiliated with the author of this plugin in any way) and I always receive an answer to my support requests within 24-48 hours. Bug fixes are usually in the next version of the plugin. This plugin is insanely powerful, and I’ve always been able to find the documentation I need.
The forum on their site is clearly labelled as a community forum, not for official support. It’s for users to help one another, and I try to post there once in a while to help users out.
I use the Pro version of this plugin on multiple sites every day and I absolutely couldn’t live without it.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Really greatThis is possible using the plugin called Shipment Tracking from WooThemes: https://www.woothemes.com/products/shipment-tracking/
Once installed, there will be a field on the order page to select your shipping provider and add a tracking number. That information will automatically be sent to the user in a shipping confirmation email.
You can automate this even further by integrating with a third-party shipping platform like Shipstation. Once you’ve processed the shipment in ShipStation, it sends the tracking info to WooCommerce, marks the item as complete, and ships out the notification.
