Hi John

You need to edit the HTML in the “WP Portfolio – Layout Settings” part of the site to remove “_blank” from the links in the HTML template.

Dan

Hello

Yes, this is likely because you do not have PHP 5.3 on your server. Chat to your hosting company, as they should have upgraded you by now. It’s a fairly simple fix.

Kind Regards

Again, @jvandemerwe – comparing this to the existing code, I find it odd that forging the user agent solves the issue.

I see that you’ve also removed:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

Happy to make this a fix, but I want to make sure it’s a fix and not just a coincidence.

Dan

Yep, Force table update will fix this.

Dan

Hi Linda

Sounds like a shared IP. Have STW offered any advice?

Dan

Hi jvandemerwe

Thanks for the update. Not sure why you’ve added a Firefox UserAgent… Usually with 0 data coming back from STW, it indicates a problem with the STW account, such as overusage.

Dan

Sorry, I really don’t understand what you mean! ?? Could you give me more examples please?

Thanks
Dan

Hi Hue

Your 1st Question: You’d need to ensure you only have the right number of items in the portfolio, the rest is done with CSS:

With your 2nd question, I don’t understand you. However, look into CSS :first-child to do this.

Please do post your solution once you have it!

You can fix this my using the ‘Force Table Upgrade’ in the settings for the plugin. That will solve this issue.

@ HWM – this issue is covered in the FAQ.

This error usually occurs due to problems with your STW account, usually with lots of errors or security issues. If you log into your STW account, you should be able to check the error log there to find out why.

Dan

Thanks William, glad it helped!

Hello

That’s a really odd issue. Try a different theme (briefly) to see if that works. Then that will determine if it’s something to do with the theme, or a bug with the plugin.

Kind Regards
Dan

That’s due to a security issue with your host. Try changing to using the fopen method of fetching thumbnails (it’s a setting in the plugin).

If that doesn’t work, chat to your host to see if they’ll allow CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION to work in your account.

If that doesn’t work, let me know.

Kind Regards
Dan

Great, glad it worked!

Hi Martin

Ah, I can see what’s happened. No, you didn’t make a mistake. Your host is just a little unusual.

If you can use FTP or a control panel, delete the /wp-content/plugins/wp-portfolio folder.

Kind Regards
Dan
