Thank you. That plugin (with custom posts) is useful in certain circumstances, but it is not quite what I am looking for. It will display recent “custom type” posts on the front page but has no way of displaying your wiki or anything that is not proper WordPress page as a static page. No big deal. Your plugin is wonderful the way it is. It allows people to set up a mini-wiki inside their WordPress site, and I’ll just a put a link to it from my main page. Once again thank you very both for your prompt response and for your outstanding plugin: it works like magic.

Thank you, you are brilliant – and very observant. Stupid me, how didn’t I see it right away? I am using the free version but I don’t think it makes any difference, the problem is with the URL and something messes it up – thank you for pointing this out. I think I am going to fix this with a redirect for the time being.

Yes, I fixed it, I added a redirect for each page, it’s a crude fix but at least now it works.

Thank you.

Thank you, Anders, I’ll ask about this in the Polylang support forum, and wait till they make it compatible with the Full Site Editing setup.

I’d installed the Gutenberg plugin and took your Tove theme for a test ride. It’s wonderful.

Thank you. Again it could be something something else -an arcane database issue? – unfortunately I do not have another site with many authors (so we could paginate) for expermination sake, but I’d be waiting for a solution.

You guys are funny. I am saying what doesn’t work ON MY site after installing your plugin. It is irrelevant whether it works under some controlled environment or you can make a video of it. It is hugely illogical. I cannot provide feedback or ask for support about performance at your end. I can only inform others about what happening at my end. If I have the time I’ll come back to it, for the time being I am too busy and have already wasted hours (I mean hours) on this thing.

I am sorry I have the latest version and it doesn’t work. For instance, VK.com poster integrated in this plugin does not work, but the standalone VK.com plugin works like a charm. You imply that the free version of plugin is radically different from the pro version, not just in the number of features, but in its functionality and usability, and that’s not nice. Because I’d wasted a great deal of time on it. Finally, the Reddit thing – Reddit banned me in an instant. Manual posts worked fine and the FS Poster submission led to an immediate ban. I had to delete my account. There is no need for me to make this up because I am not gaining anything from it, I don’t sell plugins or other types of software, I am not a Reddit employee and I not involved with some marketing scheme. I’d say this has been a pretty sad experience. The idea is great, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. At least the free version is a disaster. But the way Plurk and Odnoklassniki submission parts work as they are supposed to. The only two ones that do.

Give this plugin the rating it deserves. At least that might generate some sort of response:)

It’s actually worse than I thought, posting with it to Reddit got my account immediately banned. I am unsure why would they have extremely restrictive paid version if the free one doesn’t work. In fact, from what I’ve seen so far it’s positively harmfull.

Solved.
I am just posting this (I wrote it in the Twenty Twenty forum) just in case if some unlucky soul would have the misfortune of stumbling into the same problem.

If you link to all your pages suddenly appear in the footer area, check your menu selector (Appearance>Customize>Menu>View All Locations). Then set it back to whatever you want. That’s it.

—————————-

It’s tricky because you won’t necessarily look into the “View All Locations” section on your own. You’d have to open it up, it’s hidden out of your view by default.

If unwanted links appear in the footer menu area, go to the footer area and check the selector. If it’s set to nothing, then the WordPress (or the Twenty-Twenty theme) would display everything, that is everything, everything, everything. You might have had set this to “nothing” (to blank space) either accidentally or, as it might have probably happened in my case, a different theme has done it — I was fooling around with themes and templates before I settled back on the free version of the most basic Twenty-Twenty theme. So that’s when it must have happened. Just set it back to whatever you want or to “Select” (if you choose “Select” then no items will be displayed in the menu footer and that’s what I wanted).

That’s it.

Here is the response I wrote in the Twenty Twenty support forum.

Thank you. It did not help directly, but it gave me an idea that, in turn, has led to finding a solution. So in a way you’ve sold the problem, which, the problem that is, may be a bug either of the Twenty-Twenty theme or of the way WordPress is set up.

The problem is not related to widgets. So if you or anyone of you suddenly see(s) links to all your pages appear at the bottom of the screen, chances are this has nothing to do with the widgets but with your menus instead.

The menu selector (Appearance ? Customizing ? Menus) has three positions for each location where a menu can be displayed, these are “Select” or the “Name of the Menu” you have, or the third one is just blank or “in between”. At least my theme has it that way. I’ve got four menu locations, these are the desktop menu, mobile menu, footer menu, and social menu (I have no idea what the social menu is, but that’s irrelevant). If you look at the footer area, it can be set to the Select (then nothing is displayed, and that’s what I want) or it can be set to “your menu” (the name of your menu or whatever you’ve made up, then it will show your menu items) or, it can be set to neither. Just a blank space, like it was in my case (for the Footer Menu English). So if somehow it gets set to neither, something that must have had happened inadvertently when I fooled around with different themes, switching back and forth, and then reverted to Twenty-Twenty because I don’t want to waste time on rearranging items on my blog – so when it’s set to nothing, then the footer area will display links to all the pages you have. To everything. The solution was to set it to “Select” (that’s what I did) and then it will clear all the unwanted items from the footer or choose some menu that you’ve made up and then it will show your menu items.

Thank you. Yes, I read that, I also tried making my own child theme, downloaded a child theme from a website, used child theme generator, besides everything worked and then suddenly this appears. I think there must be some css script to suppress this from showing but I can’t find the cause of it. I saw a couple of posts about similar “situations” in the past but I couldn’t find how they were resolved at the end.

I would appreciate if some savant gives me a bit of CSS code just to suppress the thing. Thank you.

Hello,

This is murderous. It’s a mystery. I am at my wits’ end.
One Hour and Ten Minutes later…

1. Switched themes — tried it with Astra – works, the problem’s gone away, tried it with the Twenty Twenty-One – works perfectly, the nuisance is gone and then
2. Tried it with the Twenty Twenty (!), that’s the theme I have, and the problem is gone as well, works perfectly.
But the nuisance reappears the moment I switch back to my child theme (Twenty Twenty child theme).
I tried – removing everything from my child theme and replacing the contents with fresh files. No effect.
copying everything in the TwentyTwenty (parent) theme and pasting it into the child theme folder – no effect, like nothing happened.
erasing everything and creating a new child theme – zilch, nothing.
Disabling all the plugins, and clearing out the cache. Same story, zero effect. The nuisance remains.
Removing everything from the “additional CSS” field in the customize area. Appearance –>Customize, ->Additional CSS. I had changed the color of the fonts there. So now I’ve just cleaned it all up, deleted everything just as it used to be at the installation. And nothing.

What can be causing this? I am going to leave this as for the time being (at least until tomorrow) but then I’d have to figure something else out. I am loath to change themes because I got used to this one, and I am puzzled by all this. Not that I’ve done anything to cause this. And the problem is not present in the parent theme but only in the child theme, even if I copy the contents of the parent theme file by file, one by one. And, again I am not that bright, and I am no coder and don’t know much (actually anything) about WordPress inner workings but this mess defies reason, it makes no sense, not to me at least.

Thank you.

Thank you. I did it once, I once disabled all the plugins, but can of course do it again, and in fact I am going to do it right away.

I will also try this with a different twenty theme – the one I have is the twenty-twenty, but I’ll try the twenty-twenty-one instead.

And thank you for suggesting that health check plugin, I am going to download it right away.

okay, it’s not your fault. It must have something to do with the child theme (Twenty Twenty child theme). I have no idea what it is because there were no changes made to it, and it’s more or less the same theme, but when I switched to the original Twenty Twenty, it began to work. So you can close the ticket because you cannot solve it. Only I can. Anyway, I great plugin.
