Ignore my previous post – it’s incorrect. Still looking!

OK – I found it!

Remove the string ‘smartpwpages from this part of the code:

extract( shortcode_atts( array(
‘label’ => __( ‘Enter’, ‘smartpwpages’ ),
‘ID’ => ‘smartPWLogin’,
‘parent’ => $post->ID,

Easily said, easily said. Doing something ‘for free’ doesn’t make you right.

0.67 didn;t work for my issues. And trying to install previous version has not worked either. This plugin seems to be broken at a fundamental level.

Have tried 0.64 and 0.66 neither of which seem to work now. It’s a real foul up. Can’t help feeling irritated by this. Costing me several hours work just when I really don’t need it.

It’s my fault for reliying on plugin authors. Must try to avoid!

Thanks MoMiro – found earlier version 0.64 but weirdly, that isn’t working either!

Then treid .66 – that doesn;t work properly either.

It’s a real mess!

No sorry – still not working. Showing only the title of posts picked out by search:

[catlist id=997 excerpt=full search=”lightspeed” excerpt_strip=no title_tag=h5]

This worked fine until this update installed.

Will revert to previous version until this is sorted.

This was workgin beautifull but now only shows search phrase.

[catlist id=997 search=”Community Playthings” excerpt=full excerpt_strip=no title_tag=h5 exclude]

Yes I can list titles but not content

It has stopped working – all I get is the category item title. Seems I’m not the only one.

Would you happen to have a copy of the a previous version – .66 perhaps?

Can someone send me a copy of working version of plugin – I’m desparate but don’t have the zip file! 0.67 is clearly broken.

Hi Chad

Thanks for helpful reply – tried everything above but no change. I haven’t time right now to explore details and like Jim none too sure about the architecture of my theme (X Theme) to make changes in PHP files.

Clearly this is not a simple issue and only partially handled by the plugin. When I need to I’ll come back to this but, like you, finding workarounds for individual cases suits me for now.

Cheers

Slight correction to settins

(i) A normal sidebar ‘My Blog 1’ – sidebar generates a a list of posts in the category using shortcodes from another plugin. Settings: Taxonomy category = My Blog

(ii) A Content Aware sidebar named ‘My Blog’ – this generates a list of posts in the same way as sidebar (i). Settings: Condition Group: All Posts, Exposure: Singular (or Singular and Archive); Replace: ‘Main Sidebar’.

Note: Exposure Archive does not work. Sidebar (ii) appears only on main category page.

This also works:

Normal sidebar has no content in the text widget except the CA shortcode.

As I said earlier, I have fiddled with these settings again and again and as far as I can see these are the only ones that work.

This plugin has potential but at the moment, as I said earlier, the logic of its use baffles me.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. NO that didn;t work.

Here’s what I want to do:

List my blog posts using a category page: my-blog
Show menu X of blog posts in sidebar

Select post from category page
Show menu X of blog posts in sidebar

I have set content aware menu to: Posts: all posts; Category: My Blog

And as per your post I have set Exposure: Archive

And I have set Handle: Replace Main Sidebar

Whatever I do the sidebar menu of blog posts (the one I have created with Content Aware) will not appear on the main category page (my-blog).

I have tried just about every other setting, including manual! (Though I’m not sure what to do with the template tag. Also, the shortcode seems to generate an endless loop when used so the page load times out)

I have tried so many combinations of settings I am now very confused.
With these settings I can get the Content Aware sidebar menu to appear on individual posts but never on the main category page.

The only way I can get sidebar on both the main category page and and the individual posts is to have two identical sidebars:

(i) A normal sidebar ‘My Blog 1’ (with taxonomy setting ‘My Blog’) – sidebar generates a alist of posts in the category using shortcodes from another plugin.
(ii) A Content Aware sidebar named ‘My Blog’ – this generates a list of posts in the same way as sidebar (i). Settings: Condition Group: All Posts, Category: My Blog; Replace: ‘Main Sidebar’.

Sidebar (i) shows on the main category page and sidbar (ii) appears on the individual post pages.

The logic of this arrangement is baffling. Why can’t I just create one sidebar using Content Aware to appear on both the main category page and the individual posts?

Thanks or any further advice.

Yes it seems to work fine.
