Thank you, Elliot,

I very much appreciate your prompt answer. Yes, I am using Jetpack forms – are there any other native “WordPress” forms?

On login I do see the Turnstile thingie.

Hello Animesh,

Many places, clubs, museums, even WordPress, have several “membership levels”. It could be “regular member”, and “senior member” (offered at a lower price. It could be “bronze”, “silver”, “gold”, memberships that offer additional features. Similarly, websites, including mine, might wish to offer several levels, at different prices, with some material accessible to all levels, other offerings restricted to higher levels.

That makes it desirable that “Paid Content” blocks be accessible to not just one “subscription level”. When setting up “Paid Content” rather than “Select a subscription”, it should be “Select subscriptions”. And rather than picking one, it should allow (check box style) to select more than one subscription.

Not a huge change, but a very significant one.

When offering products or services it is more effective when the buyer is given a choice of “which one” not just “this or none”. Picking options from several levels is almost universal – “Paid Content” would benefit if it did likewise.

Thank you, Animesh,

I have submitted a request in GitHub.

Hello Animesh,

I use the Payment Buttoms block – and the Payment Plans option to set up the feature. The Payment Plans (add new or manage) option allows setting a switch “Enable customers to pick their own amount” – but there is not a way to set a minimum. I assume this option would allow a customer to pick $0 and pay nothing.

Thank you, James,

I was hoping for a simple way. Alas, that is not to be.

Hi Oliver,

The contents I typed into the html block is:

<img src="https://toolshed.cafeludwig.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/LK230501-185854PFSp11-2r16.jpg" hidden>

What shows in the browser code is:

<img decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/toolshed.cafeludwig.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/LK230501-185854PFSp11-2r16.jpg?w=750&ssl=1" hidden data-recalc-dims="1">

Note that there is the added WordPress generated subdomain i0.wp.com/ and other changes. It is not followed by srcset= as is the featured image prior and the logo image that follows.

It just isn’t worth fighting WordPress and their weird ways.

Hello Oliver,

I truly apologize for starting this topic. I should have known that diving into the depths of WordPress image handling would only lead to frustration and wasted time.

You said, “wordpress.com sites don’t give?srcset?data for the featured image”. So I said, aha, I will help out and added this to the Toolshed post at the top:

img src=”https://toolshed.cafeludwig.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/LK230501-185854PFSp11-2r16.jpg” hidden

In the post the image does not show. That works. Your block should find that first and we’d be happy. Of course, it didn’t do a thing for your block.

let’s toss in the towel and forget about images in WordPress. Their weird and strange ways will never allow users to control what happens.

Hi Oliver,

Thank you very much for all your efforts. I went in on the cafeludwig.com site and set all the options for 800 pixels max. All the blogs showed the featured images except two. Those two showed the topmost image, not the featured image. They are on page My Views – Cafe Ludwig. One is post AI Debugged | This ‘n That (wordpress.com). The other is FotoSketcher – Ludwig’s Toolshed (cafeludwig.com). I will wait for all the caches to get flushed and look a little more closely.

Ludwig

Thank you, Oliver,

Hope that it works out and doesn’t take too much of your time.

Have a happy Easter!

Ludwig

Hey, thanks, Oliver,

If you are willing to try it, do whichever is easier. I would think a global setting would be easiest for users.

Ludwig

Thanks Oliver,

It isn’t what I wanted to hear. I know that adding “-300×300” would not work as many of my medium size images are not square and there is, of course, no way to know what they are. The WordPress Reader seems to have a way. I imagine a rather complicated one that we can’t tie into.

Maybe something will show up. Thanks again.

Thanks Madhatter,

I don’t suspect Wordfence or any other plugin for the problems. Nothing changed the URLs. The Import process should have changed the URLs to the new domain name. It did not. That was the problem. In addition, some posts and pages are years old and the way WordPress sets up the code may have changed.

That sort of thing should at least cause a warning. It did not. The imported site worked from the user’s point of view – the old media from the .com site displayed just fine.

Looking at the posts and pages in the editor was very ugly. Most photos did not display. Just a statement that there was no ALT data. Crazy.

Only when I inspected the HTML code did I realize that the links were to the old site, not the new Media Library.

Aaaarrgghhhh

Thank you, Mehdi,

I think you have misunderstood my predicament. I have since edited (with BSR) all media links to include the “wp-content/uploads” part and the site now seems to work.

Your concern with permalinks did help me make sure that I did not inadvertently change any such references.

The .com to .org migration process was very painful and full of problems. I cannot understand that the WordPress team is that inept.

Thank you, Mehdi,

The migration using the Export – import tool did not work as expected. On the new site the process was intercepted as prohibited by Wordfence. That was bypassed by host help and done via command line. All media transferred fine and came up in the same folder hierarchy as the .com site. All posts and pages imported fine except for the media links. Using Better Search Replace resulted in my current predicament. Some of the posts and pages were done years ago. the new links have the format like this
https://photography.ludwig.gallery/2011/06/ljk_2748-1280.jpg
Note that it is http and not https, it, more importantly, misses the “wp-content/uploads” ahead of the date. These links work in posts (partially) but not in all pages. See the examples in my original plea.

I do not know what the real rules are. And I am at a loss as to how to implement the new formatting.

Steven,

I will follow your advice and ask at the Jetpack plugin forum. Not sure yet what to ask. I am confused. Here is a cutie: Go to post https://photography.ludwig.gallery/2022/03/15/our-bridge/
Get am image URL and paste it into a new tab. When I do that, I get a “Nothing here”.
