I just ran into the same problem. I upgraded MailPoet to v4.3.0 and it broke. Tried to use the PHPMySQL fix on the table, but no success. Downloaded MailPoet v4.0.0 and everything worked fine. Updated to v4.3.0 and it broke.

Any hope of getting a real fix?

I am using version 2.0.7
My current shortcode is
[cool-timeline layout=”horizontal” skin=”default” show-posts=”10″ date-format=”F j” icons=”YES” animation=”none” story-content=”short” order=”ASC” ]
It is displaying month/day correctly.
I think the whole problem was that I was trying to use your shortcode in a Divi block.
When I switched to the default WP editor I found your blocks and they worked as expected.
Maury

Sorry, but the PHP format for Month Year is ‘F Y’. ‘Fj’ should be Month Date.
However, the shortcode shown in my timeline is, in fact, ‘Fj’ and only the Month and Year are shown. Are you using a different format system? If so, how do I show Month Date.

Patrick,
Sorry, I didn’t see the message from Dimitris. I think he was correct. I copied all the submissions I had from a previous Contact 7 form to Forminator and then deleted the Contact 7 plugin and the PayPal link is working perfectly.
I also found a way around the other problem I mentioned which was the need for a dual payment system, credit card/PayPal and offline check. I solved this by making a copy of the Forminator form without the PayPal button and then putting the two links on the donation page. https://govind4fhda.com/donate.
YES, the github reference is the one I was looking for. If I remember correctly, I have to add the .php file in the mu-plugins folder and then make some other changes. Is that written up somewhere?

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for the help.
The Parallax Pro theme uses ‘pages’ to create the parallax home page (with a slider available at the top). So each element is a page. Even the intermediate images are blank pages with a background image. The only thing on the Membership Levels page is the shortcode [pmpro_levels]. The theme template for the page is ‘default’ but even if I try a different template the result is the same. In the parallax section there are multiple ‘layout’ styles available including ‘default’ and ‘blank’ but the only one that works to show the code is ‘default’. It’s a typical parallax theme. And as I said before, it’s not simply because it’s a shortcode because right below is the Membership Form which is generated by a shortcode from Visual Form Designer. I’m stumped by this one.
Is there a difference in the way that PMPro generates the page compared to other shortcodes? When I examine the source code the [prmpro_levels] shortcode is simply wrapped in <p> tags inside a <div> whereas the form shortcode is wrapped in a <div> with CSS styling:

<section class=”parallax-section default_template” id=”section-4149″>
<div class=”section-wrap clearfix”>
<div class=”mid-content”>
<h2 class=”parallax-title”><span>Membership Levels</span></h2>
<div class=”parallax-content”>
<div class=”page-content”>
<p>[pmpro_levels]</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class=”content-area”>
</div><!– #primary –>
</div>
</section>

Andrew,
Thanks for the answers.
1. I tried to access the information about multiple gateways. It requires a ‘core’ account or higher. CATCH-22.
2. I have been reading about Register Helper. Very interesting plug-in and I will definitely give it a try.
3. Rather than create multiple levels for multiple years, I think the ‘auto-renewal’ option would be a better answer. And I would be happy to pay for Plus membership if I could get some answers to my questions.
4. I don’t have a copy of an email to Jason or Kim so I must have sent the question via the contact form on the website. My comment there was about using the Memberlite theme and the problem I posted in this forum regarding
shortcodes.
UPDATE: I just received an answer from Michael about Memberlite.

Lee,
You say you only edited some files. Like maybe some CSS or a .php file. Probably no changes in the database. But if you installed a new plugin be aware it may have added tables to the database, so you need to migrate both the database and the files back to the live site. What are you using for the migration?

I ran into the same error using ABase 2.6 with WP 4.6.1. I set up a new WP install with WP 4.5.2 and installed ABase 2.6. Same error. Then I went to the a previous version (2.5) of ABase (https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/changeset/1102181) and downloaded the abase.php and abase_plugin_options.php files and replaced the ones in the ABase folder. BINGO! ABase activated with no problem and ran as expected. Finally I upgraded the test site to WP 4.6.1 and all is well.
BTW, the developer’s website is down (Account suspended).
Hope this helps.

Maury

Follow-up on my comment.
Just saw the video on using the TinyMCE editor and saw that it was possible to use full screen editing. Thanks!

First thing I noted was that your https:// links invoked security alerts because your SSL certificate is expired. This happened in both Chrome and IE.
Second, you say that “If you view the source of the emailed newsletter…”
That sounds like you are viewing the newsletter in your browser, not an email client like Outlook. There is no ‘src’ to view in the email. I never had a problem with the browser view. I think the secret lies in the fact that when you view the email in a browser you have already gone through the MailPoet redirection which captures who opens the email and clicks on something. In the browser all the links are direct.
Try this – open the newsletter from the MailPoet dashboard. Either Edit or Preview should work. Right click on any image in the newsletter or in the ‘Image’ widget and select ‘Open image in a new tab”. Is the URL of the image correct?

@jlydia
That doesn’t sound like a ‘timestamp’ problem. The link is pointing to the wrong uploads folder. The ‘2013/09’ link gives me a 404 page image with a lot of stuff on it. The ‘2015/07’ link is the correct current banner ad. But there is no rational explanation as to why MailPoet would change the folder link if you uploaded the correct image to the images tab when you composed the newsletter.

EUREKA! I found my problem and boy is my face RED.
I rewalked the folder tree and and it turned out that my wp-content/uploads folder had a .htaccess file which prevented direct linking to the images.
When I disabled that file the newsletter showed all the images in the email.
Still strange because if that .htaccess file was there to protect the images, how did the direct image links I posted here work? The code in the htaccess file is:

# Stop direct access to files
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https://(www.)?barronsquare.org [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https://(www.)?barronsquare.org/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpe?g|png|pdf)$ - [F]

So how do I prevent people from scraping my images and still use MailPoet?

Maury

@automatednewsletter
Thanks for letting me know that the links work.
NO, the images are NOT embedded in the email because MailPoet doesn’t do it that way. Look at this article:
https://support.mailpoet.com/knowledgebase/embedding-images-in-emails-bad-idea/
AFAIK, my Outlook client sends and receives HTML messages and I checked the Trust Policy setting and images are NOT disabled. Add to that the fact that email MailPoet newsletters from one of my other sites work just fine.
Maury

@valerio
Yes, as I said above I followed the article you mentioned. I have reinstalled MailPoet several times and I do not have any image blocking in my .htaccess files. Were you able to see the images at the links I provided?
The fact that the newsletter appears perfectly with all images when viewed in a browser suggests to me that the problem is not the images. I was suspecting the indirect return links via MailPoet or the theme but MailPoet works perfectly on another site I have on the same cPanel host and changing the theme to TwentyEleven on this site doesn’t help.

@craniosedona
Joy, I set the uploads folder with the images and the wysija/themes folder to 775, but the images themselves are 604, so that’s not the problem. Two ideas –
1. Is there a difference when you view in a mail client like Outlook or on webmail compared to viewing the newsletter in a browser?
2. Do you have a .htaccess file in the folder with the images which is meant to prevent people from downloading the image files?
One other thought…
Do you upload the images to the “images” tab in the MailPoet editor or are they in the post you are inserting in the newsletter?
I’m getting a stiff neck from staring at the screen with this problem. I might need a good massage therapist before this is done. ?
