Thanks Krunch. There still remains a question. Anybody on the Internet can purchase specific page access without being a registered guest. Cookies alone control that access. WordPress does not allow simultaneous page level restriction AND paid access restriction. People don’t like to provide personal information just to browse a site’s offerings so it would be a mistake for an e-commerce site using WordPress tools to restrict any purchases and any page access to “members only”. How would they get a new cookie if they aren’t registered?

I don’t think the author/developer knows how to fix this problem. The post is over two months old and adversely affects every Simplify site visited by a mobile user (huge numbers). Visitors can’t link to a sub-menu item so for them the site is largely DEAD. It’s been left to somebody else to come up with a fix. I’d probably expect the same level of support as a paying plugin user. I suspect the developer is just a plugin hobbyist after some loose change. Even on their website at https://d5creation.com/forums/search/mobile+device/ the plea on this issue has been ignored.

Thanks Pippin. False alarm. I came back to Admin this morning and everything was normal without having made any changes. The problem could have been Google Chrome getting near its “Out of Virtual Memory” state, a corrupted server cache, or whatever… Who knows? When it happened, it was pernicious and wouldn’t go away.

If it happens again, I’ll try a different browser like Firefox or IE to see if the problem persists.

Question: What does “Check this box to allow all users to generate API keys. Users with the ‘manage_shop_settings’ capability are always allowed to generate keys.” mean on the Settings options page?

Yes, there is a response. However, if you examine the currently active posts and pages and choose ANY term to search upon, ALL results will yield “No Results!”. At that point you’ll understand that something is wrong. The solution that worked for us was to revert to version 1.4. Now searches are working properly. The added features of 3.06 don’t do us any good if it doesn’t work. Yes, we carefully tried various appropriate configurations and read through the support documentation carefully.(Echoes of: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”) With all due respect, this is a great plugin but there’s not much point in spending more time debugging the issue!

I’m not sure when it happened but search results turn up nothing but “No Results!” We disabled all other plugins and it still didn’t work. See https://www.yourvirtualworld.tv/cms/advanced-search-2/ . Uninstalled then reinstalled the same most recent version. Still broken. Any suggestions?

Rather than provide a sarcastic response, I believe that I and all readers of this post will recognize that you haven’t responded to a SINGLE issue outlined above even if only one in one hundred and fifty thousand people have discovered the issues. Readers can clearly discern how well they can expect for this plugin to be supported. As for me, I dumped it long ago.

Thanks so much for your help. I think this plugin is really fantastic and I’m amazed at the usefulness of what it does and how it does it. Given the complexity of what it does I’m not surprised that sometimes things go wrong. In our case….really wrong. This is such as shame because our guests LOVE having this functionality at their fingertips.

In answer to your questions:

1. We’re using WP 3.5.1
2. We’ve tried to revert to our previous version 2.2.3 but the problems still exist.
3. Yes debug notices indicate these problems. Again, we’ve reinstalled 2.2.3 and 2.6.7 is no longer on our system. Whenever we’ve activated either version there is no information showing on the glossary page or any of the term definition pages. Our troubleshooting efforts are not at a high enough level to fix this ourselves and the back and forth exchange of a blog support page doesn’t match the pace required of businesses engaged in 21st century activity.

I’m having the same issue with the free version 1.4. All I get is the search box. When I first installed they were there. I don’t know if an updated version kicked them out or not. See https://www.yourvirtualworld.tv/cms/advanced-search-2/ . The links are there but not any images. New users would not even know that additional options exist since the option images are missing. It’s even more confusing since you don’t have to hit enter key to get search results.

Further, I’m confused when you say you “fixed and uploaded”. What did you fix, and what was uploaded, and where was it uploaded? The images? The entire program? An updated, non-incremented version, a patch, a php file? The reference links above indicate what appears to be the Pro version but the Post title indicate Ajax Lite, the free version. (more confusion)

The contributed code is added to the functions.php file (…/wp-includes/themes/YOURCURRENTTHEME/functions.php). I added this:

// Creates shortcode for 3D Slider Slice Box
function tw_slider3d () {

$html = (sb_slides_display()) ? sb_slides_display() : ”;
return $html;

}

add_shortcode( ‘slider3d’, ‘tw_slider3d’ );

around line 104 (there was a gap there that didn’t interfere with the flow of any of the other code already present) in the functions.php file then uploaded it to the server.

When finished, the shortcode [slider3d] can be added anywhere within a post or page or elsewhere and passes on the command to WordPress to display the slider at the designated place within the post/page/whatever. See https://www.yourvirtualworld.tv/cms/story-categories/adventure-stories/ .

Thanks for your response. After deactivating all the plugins coexisting with the audio player I reactivated one by one. A recently installed Chat plugin from WPMU DEV (https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/wordpress-chat-plugin/) was causing the conflict. Both the audio plugin and Chat use the same sound manager code to play sounds. Need to see if there is a work around. WPMU DEV programmers are looking into matters but perhaps, with your expertise, you can offer a suggestion.

WARNING: This plugin ideosynchratically ONLY places text in the tooltip that is absolutely nothing but ASCII alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z). Even the format that displays must matches the format that is entered, including line breaks. An unbroken line of text, however long, will display as an unbroken line of text, however long. Otherwise, IT WON’T WORK! My definition page text had other HTML, script, and non-ascii stuff to enhance definition content and for formatting purposes so it just refused to display correctly. The behavior was just bizarre. It would be nice if these limitations were explained in the plugin documentation so as to avoid lots of headaches trying to figure out what’s wrong. Since I couldn’t get it to work on the definition page text, as created, including scripts, etc., I simply chose the option to just display “Excerpt” text which had to be specifically crafted to look nice as tooltip text. All this means I have to redo 597 already completed terms. Newbies are especially vulnerable. Not fun stuff Creative Mind…….

We love what plugin authors give us. Again, it would be so nice if plugin authors supplied complete and comprehensible documentation that prevents users from conducting frustrating and endless experimentation.

There is no documentation on whether tooltip.css or tooltip.js changes or will cure this problem. At any rate, the default settings aren’t working. Does anybody know?? By not having this functionality intact, viewers are completely losing out on the main purpose of the plugin!

The glossary exclude tags solved the issue.

I deactivated the 3D Slider Slice Box plugin. It had modified the template so I couldn’t control which pages the Slider plugin fell on. I created short code the the Slider, placed it on the pages I chose then reactivated this plugin. Slider was conflicting with Glossary plugin. Switching themes was a temporary fix because Twenty Twelve didn’t load 3D Slider. I undid the modifications required by 3D Slider Slice Box plugin to the page template page.php.

I temporarily switched themes from Simplify to Twenty Twelve. The problem went away. Since the theme is the culprit how can I determine which file(s) in the theme are loading the Google jquery.min.js on top of WordPress jquery.js?
