This is the same issue I reported in this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-returns-no-images-fix-included?replies=3

It’s not a problem with the username, the Pinterest feed URL has changed. It’s an easy fix to edit the plugin. I’ll try letting the developer know, but as you said, I don’t think this plugin is supported any longer.

Yeah, I needed this too! I just forked the plugin on GitHub and added the code to do this:
https://github.com/daltonrooney/WP-OTF-Regenerate-Thumbnails

I have submitted a pull request so hopefully the original author finds this useful and incorporates it into the plugin. Until then, try my fork on GitHub and see if that does the trick.

You can get the latest version from GitHub which seems to correct this problem: https://github.com/Mvied/wordpress-https

Note that there’s a linked repo in the plugin that you’ll need to download also. If you’re not familiar with GitHub and trust downloads from strangers on the internet (like me) you could give this a try: https://cl.ly/1W2y3K1P0Q3H

Thanks for the reply. I’ll keep the bulk editing in table view in mind, it’s a shame that it’s not possible to hook into the bulk actions in grid view. I wonder if that’s on the roadmap for WP or if it might be something useful to add to core?

I have to say I don’t think the comma separated list for categories is a good design decision. It makes sense for tags if they autocomplete, but I don’t expect users to remember exactly how a category is spelled, leading to duplicates etc.

Would it be hard to set that field to autocomplete, or, barring that, add a filter to the plugin and let me control the input? As it stands, I’m going to edit the plugin directly to change it to a dropdown, but that makes upgrades more difficult.

Cheers,
Dalton

I’ve had an open pull request on this simple change for a month, with no response. It looks like the developer has given up on this one.

Also, it looks like there are no bulk category options while in Grid view. Unfortunately the grid view is the WordPress default, so it looks like this plugin isn’t fully compatible with the latest versions of WordPress?

Whoa, I had no idea about the option_ filters, that just blew my mind. Worked perfectly, thank you! And I will probably use that a lot.

Thank you John, I really appreciate your help with this.

I’ve tried the bcn_settings_init filter without any luck. Here’s the code I’m using:

add_filter('bcn_settings_init', 'set_private_post_root');
function set_private_post_root($options) {
  $options['apost_private-post_root'] = 221;
  return $options;
}

If I do a var_dump on the $options array after I set it, the value looks correct, but the breadcrumb continues to use the value from the database. Am I missing something?

Just a follow up to my previous post, I did figure out the answer to problem 1. In the plugin settings for the custom post type, there is an option called “%Post Type% Hierarchy Display”, but the available choice is “Show the taxonomy leading to a private page in the breadcrumb trail.”

I had not selected this option because I am not using a taxonomy with this particular CPT. Selecting this option does enable the post type hierarchy in the breadcrumb trail, so I guess this is just some feedback on the wording of that option – I personally found it very confusing, and did not understand what it did until I was looking through the post_hierarchy function in the plugin code.

Perhaps better wording for that option would be “Show the taxonomy or hierarchy leading to a %post type% in the breadcrumb trail.”

For problem 2, I’m still looking for a way to set a custom post type as the root for another post type. I’ve done it by editing the database directly, but that change is lost as soon as the options page is saved again. I’m sure I can do it with the help of some filter or action, I’ll keep digging.

Thanks!
Dalton

One possible solution for the developer would be to make the list of post types filterable. I’ve submitted a pull request on Github for this, or you can access my modification here:
https://github.com/daltonrooney/wp-admin-column-view

Then you can add a filter to functions.php file to select which post types get the admin column menu. A sample function might look like this:

add_filter('admin_columns_post_types','my_admin_columns_post_types');
function my_admin_columns_post_types($post_types) {
	$post_types = get_post_types(array(
			'name' => 'page'
		), 'objects');
	return $post_types;
}

That will apply the Admin Column View only to your Pages menu.

I realize that there’s no good way to push updates to people using the free plugin (beyond the built-in plugin updater), but I do think they should do a little more to publicize an issue this severe. Update the readme.txt to put a notice at the top of the plugin page on www.ads-software.com, for example.

There’s a good chance that this doesn’t have anything to do with the plugin you’re using. If you’re on a shared server, it’s possible that others are sending spam from the same IP. In any case, if you’re going to use a self-hosted email newsletter tool, you’ll get much better results if you use a 3rd party SMTP service like SendGrid to ensure delivery.

Just found this, too: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woocommerce-pos/
Looks promising!

I’ve used the 61 Extensions connector for Quickbooks POS without much luck. We had a lot of trouble syncing with very cryptic errors that the developer was never able to fix. The client ended up using Webgility’s ECC commerce connector, which seems to work pretty well. They had some limitations on how variable products are handled – but they may have fixed that by now.

We’re still desperately searching for a real WooCommerce POS solution. We were working on a connector for WooCommerce and Vend, but that project didn’t work out.

Thank you! I’ll give it a try right away!
