Dear Evan,

I had a suspicion that a plugin called “All in One WP Security” might be responsible for this behavior. Therefore, I did schedule a maintenance downtime and disabled that plugin to test again. Unfortunately that didn’t change anything!

I ‘ve also updated to the latest WordPress version (v.4.5.3) without any change.

Here are two screenshots taken one from the BackEnd where I put the image on the post announcement at the custom excerpt part and the other of what is actually shown in the Timeline frontend (aka. website).

BackEnd: https://imagebin.ca/v/2lsKtnfsMk0d

FrontEnd: https://imagebin.ca/v/2lsL9iuLmU5l

Any ideas? Can it be something that hasn’t been enabled on my WordPress settings??

Regards

Indeed that was the solution!

For future reference, changing the “has_joker” value at the “pool_wp_predictions” table to the ones before the activation of the “Golden Game” plugin restored all scores correctly.

Regards!

A little bit digging revealed that the

pool_tucfl_predictions table holds the “has_joker” value.

If I restore these values can I then have it correctly back?

Can you help me a bit further…I am trying to figure out how to do that for different users since different users had used their golden ball in different games and not at the same time.

All that I have related to your post is this line from the backup:

INSERT INTO wp_options VALUES(“2713″,”FootballPoolGoldenGamesExtension”,”a:1:{i:0;i:0;}”,”yes”);

Is that sufficient for all games played so far with golden goals to be recalculated?
Will that also fix the problem that players that already used the golden ball can play again another ball??

Where are all these stored? Any help much appreciated!

All the best!

I ‘ve learned that the hard way! The scores are lost! Any ideas how to recover? I ‘ve tried disabling the golden game plugin but recalculation didn’t help! Any ideas? I can check a recent db backup if necessary….but on which field in the db are the golden balls defined? If I can redefine for every user and recalculate will it work ???

Regards!

OK! I understand!

If I disable the golden ball what happens with the already calculated points due to the golden ball?? Do they remain or are they lost??

All the best!

Dear Evan,

sorry for the late response but it was a busy day today.

I ‘ll try a few things tomorrow that I will have more time and get back to you!

Thank you very much for everything!

Here you are!

Do you think that it may conflicts with the addition for the sort of posts using the publication time stamp that we have discussed previously ?

I am using the “visual” editor and I am attaching the image using the “add media” option.

Evan,

I am using the free version on both the theme and the plugin itself (for the moment)

I see!

I’ve to find a maintenance window not to have visitors on the site to test it then.

For reference the theme that I am using is the “Customizr” (https://presscustomizr.com)

Hi Evan!

Indeed I have problems since I had already enabled the HTML excerpts because I wanted to have the link appearing on the announcement.

My problem is that if I add an image as media in the new “Custom excerpt” box instead of showing the image itself (as it should according to the post of HTML excerpts that you ‘ve send me) it just shows a clickable link to it.

Any ideas???

Many thanks!

Oh!!! I see!

I ‘ve bumped onto that post but didn’t understand that it was the same issue.

I ‘ll try the suggested solution.

Many thanks!

Sure thing!

Just did!
Thank you very much once again!

All the best!
