Hi anaderi,

Thanks for coming back and sharing.

I was trying to avoid changing the plugin code as it will be lost with updates.
However, it seems to be the only way…

Hi,

just bumping this up as I would also need to knwo.
As said by anaderi, just trying to set the parameter doesn’t work.
also tried _gaq.push([‘_setSiteSpeedSampleRate’, 100]); and it just breaks all the tracking.

Anyone knows how to do this?

As far as I understand this should be done in the creation, so it would have to be an option of the plugin, as just adding extra code wouldn’t work.

if anyone knows how to do it, I would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,
Miguel

Hi,

I’m sorry for not returning your “call for data”, I’ve been away a few days and can see that the issue is already worked out.

Thanks so much Hector.

Hi,

I’m having the same problem here. In fact I have another one that maybe it’s related.

For testing purposes I’m using the deafult widget set to sort posts by “total views” and the time range is “last 7 days”

I’m also selecting a comma separated list fo categories to include.

The two issues I’m having:
1 – Sort doesn’t seem to be working as described by sponker
2 – Sort seems to be done inside each category. So if my category with the lowest ID has enough posts to fill the 10 positions, none od the other categories will show up. Suppose I have category with ID 100, with 10 posts with 2 views each and category with ID 120 with 5 posts with 5 views each… only the 10 posts from category 100 will show up.

This is kind of weird, because when I check the counts in the backoffice they look fine and the counter goes up when i view a specific post. So, just an issue sorting output.

cheers,

Lauren,

Forgot to thank you for locating and sharing the relevant track issue.
I confess it would be the last thing I would think of…

Just to let you know That I’ve been able to recover the thumbnails with the correct file names.
Since the update happened in v4.1 I got the files from version 4.0.1 (https://www.ads-software.com/download/release-archive/).
there look for media.php under wp-includes/.

Replaced current media.php for the old one and run force regenerate again.
Then replacing back media.php for the current version.

recovered everything.

The problem is that, in the future, I can’t delete these thumbnails ever again, because it’s a bad idea to keep going back and using the old media.php file.

cheers,
miguel

Crap.. I’ve checked the ticket mentioned by laurenmg and the rounding error apparently was “fixed” in v4.1.
Apparently nobody thought about backward compatibility.

turned a small problem into a big mess.

Hi,

I’m going through a heavy website migration and realized now that i also have this problem.
All filenames are off by one pixel, which looks like a rounding error… Meaning I would have to go and fix a few thousand posts manually.
Previous Thumbnails were generated with wordpress 3.9.3, so not too old.

If someone has any clue on how to solve this without going through every post and do it manually, I would be eternally grateful.

cheers,

Hi,

1) Uninstalled version 4,
2) Went here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/developers/
3) Downloaded version 3.4.1
4)Installed it.

I had to do it in… 18 sites ??
I worked fine.

and by the way, the google webmasters report of sitemaps (submitted vs indexed) went normal one day after I’ve downgraded.

cheers,

After reading so many talking about how google handles this format, I ended up going to Google Webmaster and see how it handled mine.
Actually, I don’t have warnings or errors…

However, Google provides a way to show, side by side, the number of links submitted in the sitemap vs the links they’ve indexed.
They also show this information as a graph, showing variations over time.
Since 14/Apr (when I’ve updated to the new version of the plugin) the “indexed” pages go down to zero, and it just shows the number of pages submitted in the sitemap.

Definitely Google as issues handling this format.

Meantime, I just reverted all websites to version 3.4.1 of the plugin and will hope the author reconsiders the format or at least provides an option to keep the old format.

cheers,
Miguel

Hi,

I’ve posted in another thread about the same issue and don’t want to spam…but this looks like the main thread regarding format change.
So here it goes in short form…
The reason I don’t like this format is that it reveals the date posts were published even if I don’t want to do that.

cheers,
miguel

Hi,

I also want to go back to the old format, is there a way to do it?
I don’t know what google thinks about the new format. But I don’t want to use it.

I want to hide the last modification time and the plugin has an option to choose if we want to include that info or not.
Now, the plugin creates a file by month/year revealing that information without any option to go back to the old format or to hide it.

I’m using your plugin for a few years and it always worked great for me, I really appreciate your work and thank you for sharing…
but please, give me an option to go back to the old format or some way to hide the date my posts were published.

cheers,
Miguel

glad it was useful.

Regarding images, I have to say that i didn’t took the time to look into the structure the plugin uses.

I just create a text field and store the image URL there. (previously uploaded to media library)
In the template files, I retrieve the URL, as shown above, and build the adequate img’s, thumbnails and whatever I need.

Hi,

For some reason the author of the plugin doesn’t share the correct way to retrieve the value of the custom fields…
Which is weird.

So, if you want to get the value of one of those fields (at least it works for me..):

$custom_field = categoryCustomFields_GetCategoryCustomField(cat_ID, ‘yourfieldname’);

echo $custom_field[0]->field_value:

Where ‘cat_ID’ is the ID of the category you want to look and ‘yourfieldname’ is…well your field name. ??

cheers,

Hi,

Removing the “any ID” worked.

Thanks!
