@zerackam,

on the first load, the timeline JSON wouldn’t load due to a 502 Bad Gateway error, which is something with your server config, not the plugin.

However, I returned to site, and it’s now working for me:

There may be an issue with CloudFlare that you’re using.

I’m also not sure what’s up with your directories, they are in a weird format:

https://www.goldisjewelry.com/ext/fcfb0891/js/timeline-min.js?1.68

instead of something like:

https://www.goldisjewelry.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-veriteco-timeline/js/timeline-min.js?1.68

Can be fixed by using this version of the file: https://gist.github.com/jjeaton/11301274

Would be great if this fix could be included.

@zerackam, are you still having issues?

You actually need to “Update” one of the timeline posts for it to work. “Save Timeline data” might work but I’ve had more luck updating a timeline post.

For anyone upgrading to the new version, you have to re-save a timeline post for the JSON to be fixed. It’s the worst, but hopefully in the next 2 months I can get a better update out there so these issues can be resolved once and for all.

There doesn’t appear to be a timeline.json file on your server. It should exist here:

https://ikragero.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-veriteco-timeline/timeline.json

But that is 404ing. Check that the plugin folder is writeable on the server (775 permissions) and then save any of the timeline posts again to regenerate the file.

Thanks for reporting this. I’ve replaced the vertical whitespace with a simpler replace in version 1.1.2. Now that I think about it, the regex might just have an issue because \v should be in brackets: [\v]+. Not sure whether that’s as important as just replacing line breaks.

I haven’t had a chance to test the effects of undoTexturize so I’ve left that in for now.

Pull requests are always welcome: https://github.com/jjeaton/wp-veriteco-timeline/

Do you have a link to the site?

1. Have you updated to the latest version? Re-save a timeline post after updating to regenerate the timeline.json file.
2. Do you have any JavaScript errors in the dev tools console?
3. Try disabling other plugins and see if that resolves the error. (Usually a plugin a theme conflict causes this issue).

@studiograsshopper, of course, as mentioned in my initial post, you can change the version numbers. I think the only concern was whether or not there were updates that needed to be made to the templates due to the new major version of WooCommerce (2.1). Thanks.

There’s still something else failing before the timeline script loads.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input.

It looks like it’s something with your theme. If you switch to a default theme, the timeline works, yes? Something the theme is doing is breaking and conflicting with the plugin.

@rmorson, something else on your site is affecting the plugin, there are other JavaScript errors, see this screenshot. Something relating to a MiniAudioPlayer seems to be the issue.

This change has been made in version 1.1 of the plugin, please upgrade to get the fix.

Fixed in version 1.1.1

Version 1.1.1 has been released which changes it to pull all timeline posts.

@rmorson, the Timeline JS has been updated as well, please upgrade the plugin and see if that resolves your issue.

@rmorson, do you have a link to the site I can see?

@rmorson

If you have any HTML (links, etc.) in your timeline posts, it will break.

As a quick fix you could try changing line 360:

$string .= stripslashes($entry->toJSON());

to:

$string .= $entry->toJSON();

and then resave one of the timeline posts so that it rebuilds the JSON file.
