Oooh yeah. That plugin could be very helpful. Thanks again.

Thanks @bcworkz. Both those links will be helpful. I still need to locate the actual theme files to be modified in the Astra theme though because it’s not immediately apparent. So if anyone knows please chime in.

Thanks @luckychingi. I think I’ll choose to stop worrying until I run into a problem.

Hi folks, thanks for replying. You’re suggesting there is an overall positive to this method beyond just visual appeal. I’m aware that WP creates multiple images and that’s part of the reason image count is so large.

Is it safe to zero out WPs media settings and just use the theme’s auto created images?

Or maybe I should learn to stop worrying and love the bloat.

@centrelink

Yeah, that worked for me. Thanks a heap. It saved my installing more plugins or mail services as suggested by Ninja Forms support. Or wasting precious time fooling with tech support of my web host. This is a big deal that should be added to Ninja forms support site if it hasn’t already.

And I imagine there is no way to get a previous, working version. Or does the one I mentioned still work on newer versions of WP?

Hi. Ok the problem is resolved. I’m not sure if it was any of the things I recently did or the fact the the option on the Paypal screen to pay by CC looks suspiciously like an option to register for Paypal. Maybe I didn’t realize the link would open a screen to insert my Credit Card info rather than register. Thanks for the help.

Thanks all. I didn’t realize that some of the effects I saw in the documentation was for the Pro version only. I was able to get the basic lightbox working on the free version. I ended up turning it off though and using the free plugin Lightbox plus Colorbox. It doesn’t give me the same effect as described above but does give me more options. I was hoping to avoid adding another plugin. I’ll take a look at Piclens as well.

Actually WPListcal does this just fine. I may have been using an older version that wasn’t compatible with the latest version of WordPress. You can link to a page with details of all your events or to any web page/site you choose. It can be a bit funky at times but it works. See my site at: https://www.kentstateuniversitypress.com

Perhaps someone might know how I can purge the plugin from my database so I can reinstall from scratch. Right now it keeps all my settings if I reinstall

@vtxyzzy
I’m not understanding your code. Does it go in a template file wrapped by <?php> tags or in the functions file?

thanks

That worked for me, thanks

So close. I added the code as indicated. Now the image browser opens but after I click “insert image” the box turns white and nothing. I’m going to try turning off plugins at some point when I have the time. Frustrating though.

Ok, I’ll give that a try. I’d hoped that I wouldn’t have to relay on plugins because you never know when an WP upgrade might break it or if a developer will continue to work on it.

I had read something about “Post-Type” at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Hierarchy and thought I might be able to use that for post templates.

Thanks Michael, that works well for displaying categories, better than my coding (above ;-)) Does the plugin work for single posts too? Is there a way to customize single posts in the parent category?
