Chris,

That is brilliant. Thanks so much for the help! It looked good the way you had it but to make the transparent background continuous I switched a few paddings around. Again, thanks for the new trick in my playbook.

It seems that we are almost there. The code isn’t picking up the #666 though. The homepage still picks up whatever is assigned to $bg_color. As a random thought of ‘what if…?’, I tried changing the is_home to is_front_page and that didn’t work either.

Right, my bad. Here is the page with the code from my very first post, and here is the page with the last code that you gave me.

Nope, that breaks it.

Jarrett, thanks for the help. That seems like it might work but the problem I have is that I want to give the home page one color and the rest of the pages another color. How about throwing an else statement in there? I tried the following and it didn’t work. Ideas?

<?php if($bg_image <> '' && is_home() ) { ?>url(../images/uploads/<?php echo $bg_image; ?>) <?php echo $bg_repeat; ?><?php } ?> 0 <?php echo $bg_top_offset; ?>px #666; else{<?php echo $bg_color; ?>} ;

It turns out this error was related to the smush.it plugin. Removed the plugin and the uploader works again as expected. Thanks for the help esmi.

Thanks for the response. My problem is that I don’t know what the rest of that would look like. I tried several things, none of which worked. Can you frame something for me that I could build off of? The link you gave is helpful if you know how php syntax works which unfortunately I don’t.

I guess was thinking something along the lines of: <?php if is_front_page() {0 <?php echo $bg_top_offset; ?>px #<?php echo $home_bg_color; } ?> else{<?php if($bg_image <> '') { ?>url(../images/uploads/<?php echo $bg_image; ?>) <?php echo $bg_repeat; ?><?php } ?> 0 <?php echo $bg_top_offset; ?>px #<?php echo $bg_color; ?>;

Does that make sense? Or do I need an elseif? Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the quick response esmi.

The uploads path is blank.

I am trying to systematically go through all these old posts on the same issue and work through your suggestions and otto’s suggestions.

Here are the two that I am working on now:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/25-imagemedia-uploader-problems?replies=1

The odd thing is that I was in the middle of uploading images and creating posts.

I’ve also put in a ticket with my host to see if they can figure out the issue.

I’m not sure if you have figured this out or not, but if you haven’t then here goes: click on settings > facebook comments. Scroll down to the settings area and change the width where I have indicated.

I have the same question but I have a responsive design so I don’t want to set a static width. When the screen is small, the comments rearrange themselves on top of the sidebar as seen here. First question, is this possible? And if yes, where do I do that? Thanks!

And here is the screenshot.

Great! Yes, I am saying that the plugin doesn’t pick up the featured image. The plugin has never grabbed the featured images. If you see this link, you can see that it just posts a static image of our homepage.

Here is the facebook page that we are posting to. It doesn’t look like many are showing that don’t have images anymore. Facebook being selective.

Thanks for your help! Let me know what other kinds of screenshots you need.

thanks for the response peter. the way the blog page is currently set up, there is a featured image (large) and the actual image in the post. The problem is the duplication of the picture. The plugin is being used to show the proper image on facebook because it doesn’t grab the featured image. If it is possible to simplify the whole process, then that is ideal, but as i see it there are 2 ways to address this.
1) figure out a way to exclude content retrieved by the_content
2) fix the facebook like thumbnail plugin to grab the featured image so that I don’t have to post a featured image and the same image in the post.
Hope this clarifies the situation a little bit.

How many slides does “Promotion Slider” allow? I would love to find another plugin that works more consistently but the biggest issue I have is that we want a slider that has the ability to load 50+ slides. I have struggled to find anything in the free category that meets this requirement. What is most frustrating is that this plugin worked for a while but then much like your case it stopped working or works occasionally. Thanks!

This is helpful. At this point I think I am going to go with the other slider. I have it formatted the way that I want it and it does seem to be working.

I do thank you for your assistance and will keep this plugin in mind for other projects that I work on!

Shoot. My bad. I have been looking for a functional slider for days that was simple for a complete WP n00b like me. I have been trying out a lot of sliders and end up getting super frustrated and moving on. I was testing some other ones when you responded. Bad form on my part. I have set up a test page where you can see what is occurring.

Thanks for your quick response, I am extremely curious to know what the issue is.
