Bubble Wrapped

Someone on my hosting provider’s support team went out of their way to help figure this out. They determined that this bit of code created the error:

/** Remove Twitter Pro Hashtag Links */
//function range_no_hashtag_links() {
//      $wpTwitterWidget = wpTwitterWidget::getInstance();
//      remove_filter( 'widget_twitter_content', array( $wpTwitterWidget, 'linkHashtags' ) );
//}
//add_action( 'init', 'range_no_hashtag_links' );

I’m pretty sure I got this code from this forum. It never created any problems until the update. Do you know why? I’d like to remove the hashtag links and continue using this great plugin. Thanks.

Synthesis support once again restored my website to an earlier backup. They said the problem is with the plugin and recommended that I delete this one and choose a different one. I love this one and can’t understand what happened.

They said that even deleting it could crash my website. So I thought I would just deactivate it for now and work on my website tonight, and then delete it tomorrow and see what happens. But deactivating the plugin crashed my website.

This is very frustrating.

Okay, so my hosting provider Synthesis rolled my plugins directory back to their last backup from early this morning. My website was fully accessible once they did this.

But before they restored my website, I deleted the Twitter Widget Pro folder. This did not restore my website. I still had white screens. When Synthesis did the restore, I saw the update notice for the plugin and once again clicked it to see what would happen. Sure enough the same thing happened. My website now displays a white screen, no matter what I do.

So I’ve asked Synthesis to repeat the restore process. This time around I did not delete the Twitter plugin folder. I’m not saying that your plugin caused this, but I can’t see that I did anything that would have shut down my website. I’ll post back here when I learn more.

Thanks, Aaron. We’ll see if that fixes the problem. I can’t imagine why this happened. My internet connection is strong. I’ll post back here once it’s back up and running.

Oh, that’s awesome. Thank you so much!

And I didn’t realize that about how to write the padding. Thanks for taking your time to share this with me!

Writing a function for this would be nice, but if I have to, I’ll make the changes directly to the Twitter Pro file. I found where this code is located, but I’m unfamiliar with the programming language. It won’t let me insert spacing and the divider bars without rendering a white screen on my website.

EDITED TO ADD . . .

Reply, retweet and favorite each have their own CSS class. So I added padding as follows:

.retweet {
    padding: 0 14px 0 14px;
}

But I’m not sure how to add divider bars, unless I add a left and right border, which doesn’t look as nice. I’m trying to teach myself the code language, but I’d love some input on this.

Cheerios!!

I would really welcome some feedback on this question. Is there a way to make the text links look like this:

Reply | Retweet | Favorite

I can easily change the font size and color, but I can’t figure out how to insert spacing or how to add divider bars.

I’d like the bars to have a span class so that I can display them in a soft gray. The links are in a nice purple.

Thank you!

You explained this problem really well.

I set the Twitter Pro options to display two tweets with no retweets or replies. Because my last tweet is a reply, it’s only displaying my second to last tweet, which is neither a reply or retweet.

When I change the settings to include replies, two tweets are displayed in the sidebar. So I agree that the count seems to include replies and retweets, despite the options I selected in the settings.

I’m also seeing “from the web” at the end of my tweet. Nothing is telling me where that’s coming from.

Thank you.

I meant to add that I don’t want to use a plugin for this.

Thank you. ??

I wanted to add that my website isn’t public yet. But hopefully I’ve provided enough information to receive some help. Looking at my CSS via the developer tool, it shows my CSS as displayed above, and then it shows the same thing again, but with a line through the border and padding.

It keeps defaulting back to the original CSS, which sets the border and padding to none. I’ve never encountered this before.

Thanks for reading my thread. ??

I did contact them and I also posted a new thread in the support forum, but I haven’t received any help with this, since it’s a customization question.

I learned how to create my own child archive template and now have a long list of post titles with the dates under each post. But I’m not finding any instructions on how to group my posts by month.

I don’t think the instructions need to be specific to Genesis, since Genesis follows WordPress when it comes to the archives. I’m just looking for the code that will accomplish this for any WordPress theme and that I can manipulate to make it work.

A few years ago, I found some instructions on a WordPress tutorial blog and successfully applied it to my Twenty-Eleven theme. But I no longer have those files and would really welcome some guidance.

Thank you!! ??

You can use CSS to rearrange the position of an element? I’m wanting to do the same thing. Hopefully someone can chime in and offer some suggestions. Thanks!

Ack! You responded quickly, Andrew. Thank you!

I’ll take a look at that link. ??

Okay, updated to add …

After a long search, I just learned that by adding background-attachment: fixed to the body CSS, I can fix in place a tiling image. It works great.

But does it work in all browsers? I’ve never heard of this before.

Thank you again!

Thanks for your help. The div tag that wraps around the avatar is comment-author vcard. I’ll have to create a new div and see if this works.
