I’ll email it to you now.

Hi Ross,

Yes, I’m using Customer Area. The plugin link is here.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/customer-area/

Coincidentally, your plugin is routing them to the Page that has [customer-area] short code on it. Even if I disable plugin Customer Area, I am still redirected.

Thank you

Thanks Niall. I’m afraid if it doesn’t work, we’ll have to wait 6+ months again for any kind of recognition. Is there another way, more effectively, to request such support?

Anyone? Bueller?

You’re correct. Scheduled posts do not go onto Facebook through the social aspect of this plugin.

Something also the FB WordPress devs haven’t acknowledged.

dev team? anyone? bueller?

Any update on this, Facebook devs?

I’ve figured this out. The “secret” is &$_POST when the post is saved/published. That builds an array which the content can be extracted, and then saved to the excerpt field using excerpt_save_pre.

I went a little further allowing control over the number of characters, or the number of words, using $length, and the output is controlled on which $output section you uncomment.

The code below tested on my vanilla site as working.

function auto_insert_excerpt(){
	$post_data = &$_POST;
	$post_content = $post_data['content'];
	$length = 15;

	// This will return the first $length number of CHARACTERS
	//$output = (strlen($post_content) > 13) ? substr($post_content,0,$length).'...' : $post_content;

	// This will return the first $length number of WORDS
	$post_content_array = explode(' ',$post_content);
	if(count($post_content_array) > $length && $length > 0)
		$output = implode(' ',array_slice($post_content_array, 0, $length)).'...';

	return $output;
}
add_filter('excerpt_save_pre', 'auto_insert_excerpt');

Thank you for confirming. I had done this earlier, and your reply is great confirmation.

You’re correct. I must have had a typo when I made this support request because it wasn’t working. I went back and tried again and it worked.

To confirm, using https://www.host.com/people/%user_login% worked for me.

Thanks for the reply.

This doesn’t fix the pretty URL though. I still have to go to https://www.com/users/?uid=1. I was looking for https://www.com/users/admin

Not sure what happened to my topic. Its not here anymore. Thank you I’ll look into this plugin.

Hi,

The solution that alexbestoloci made would work, but it concerns me that with every WordPress upgrade you did, those options would be overwritten. Here’s what I did that worked great with WP 3.5.1 and would stay after an upgrade.

Place this in your theme’s functions.php file.

function mytheme_setup() {
	// Set default values for the upload media box
	update_option('image_default_align', 'center' );
	update_option('image_default_link_type', 'media' );
	update_option('image_default_size', 'large' );

}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'mytheme_setup');

If you want the default link action to be none, then change this line

update_option('image_default_link_type', 'none' );

Hope this helps and good luck

piichi,

I was able to get those 3 update_option to work. It works great in WP 3.5.1. Thanks!

I did it like this

function mytheme_setup() {
	// Set default values for the upload media box
	update_option('image_default_align', 'center' );
	update_option('image_default_link_type', 'none' );
	update_option('image_default_size', 'large' );
}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'mytheme_setup');

Ah yes, the email was sent at the end of November. I found it and yes, this is resolved. Thanks ??
