Well, I reverted to the old version for now, but the new version grayed out the spotlight feature and added a link to a new “pro add-on” for Easy Fancybox that seems to make certain existing and, I assume, new features a paid-only option. The problem was that the “pro add-on” and any information on it was not yet available. The page linked to was up and now down: https://status301.net/wordpress-plugins/easy-fancybox-pro/

I’m all for developers adding features in a paid plugin “extra” to make some cash, but taking features away from the free version without notice is pretty lame.

The spotlight effect is not gone from the new version, and this new pro version isn’t even yet available.

You need an “e” on YouTube in your class name:

<a class="fancybox-youtube" href="#"><img alt="welcome" src="#"></a>

I unfortunately will have to disable it for now, as it’s conflicting with other things and making it difficult for us to finish testing. If you have any ideas, I can give it a try another time. Thanks!

Here’s another thing it’s doing odd. The links on this page link to FancyBox overlays, and they are showing the external icon, and it breaks the FancyBox links:

Could the problem be a conflict with FancyBox?

Odd. But did you see that the external ones that don’t have it applied too? Like the links int he first two stories to abcnews.com?

Does it not work if you’ve already got a target=”_blank” set on the link?

Sure, you can look here. I only have it set to show in “post contents” which I thought would be limited to the blog, but it seems this also is for pages too. Nevertheless, here’s the blog page and you can see that it’s behaving in reverse and inconsistently.

Thanks!

Should this also work with the short code like this:

[testimonialswidget_widget maximum_length=500]

I tried that, and it doesn’t seem to be working.

Thanks! Just posted a review too. This plugin saved me a lot of work.

Actually, I was able to fully implement this using the following template, loading the bios via inline fancybox overlays:

[staff_loop]
<a href="#[staff-name-slug]" class="fancybox staffBox"><img class="staff-member-photo" src="[staff-photo-url]" alt="[staff-name] : [staff-position]">
	<div class="staff-member-info-wrap">
		[staff-name-formatted]
		[staff-position-formatted]
	</div></a><div style="display:none" class="fancybox-hidden"><div id="[staff-name-slug]" style="width:640px;">
<h3 class="staff-member-name">[staff-name] <span> — [staff-position]</span></h3>
<img class="staff-member-photo-overlay" src="[staff-photo-url]" alt="[staff-name] : [staff-position]">[staff-bio-formatted]
</div></div>
[/staff_loop]

Sure. I can add php if you let me know what to add.

Thanks!

I was about to ask a very similar question!

Thinking about using autonav for a graphical navigation for member directory, loading each subpage’s title and subtitle that you get when hover over it, and when clicked, loads the page using a fancy box iframe (posted a separate question on that).

I’m actually using a plugin called “Subheading” so ideally I’d like to pull the title and that field in via autonav.

I wonder if there’s a way to use a filter to grab the other field?

Nevermind. It seems there was something odd about the data when pasted in that truncated it.

Great. Thanks!

I don’t recall the plugin addressing the Custom Post Type issue, but I was able to find the info in the documentation as I’d mentioned. My point was that that could have been a little more up front in the process — the custom post type part. That’s all. If it was there, I guess I missed it.

Glad to know the migration process does not delete data. It’s a mystery then. I suspect it might have been the WordPress update I did at the same time then, which is odd too.

I left the default instance in there, which is the one with the WYSIWYG. I noticed

Is is safe to just re-create an instance for to replace the default using the same name?

I’m assuming I need to also include the code that disable the default.

Thanks,
