Rjh144 – We disabled Timely. I was very sorry to do it. The only reason was that we are on shared hosting with Hostgator. There was a slow-down at the time when they were moving to new servers. It caused problems with the plugin loading. I went back to embedding a Google Calendar.

The Timely plugin was very good – I was emailing the creator and he seemed very helpful. I would use it if I had more robust hosting. I would suggest you test it. If you have a simple setup with few plugins, it may work for you. I was pushing it with lots of plugins, including Slidedeck, another slideshow plugin I love, but which needs good band-with to operate, at least in my experience.

Keep me posted, I would love to hear how you fare with it. – Nancy (millbrookcreative.com)

I rolled back to 1.1.3.4 thinking that would fix this problem of getting ‘Page not found’. Seems related to options checked in settings for the CPT.

Hi Pamela,

I have looked into this and I don’t know how to display an edit date. I don’t think that is built in.

I have had success with Loopbuddy by iThemes for displaying posts on a page. You can set up a custom query and a custom layout. The layout I often use is a table. I have not figured out how to add a sort to Loopbuddy, but I’m sure it can be done.

Best of luck, Nancy

@frank I look forward to hiding the New+ button on the Admin bar. My site is for Members who have limited privileges. But, I really like the Admin bar so they can logout easily. I also figured out how to add a custom link in the Admin bar.

But, the New+ button allows them to add New posts including custom posts which I don’t want. I do need them access to edit posts that they have created from the forms that create posts on the site.

I look forward to your new work on this.

Meanwhile, everyone who is reading this and wants this change, please donate to the developer to help his work! I have made a donation recently.

@robert and @andrew:
I applied the above patches, and took Roberts advice to “change the ed_size code from 5000 to 500 pixels”. That seems to work.

Thank you!

@andrew:
I don’t think I used 3.5-beta before updating to 3.5. The version of Firefox I am using is 17.0.1 and believe I have been on for a few weeks (I am on the release update channel) I get the same long edit field in IE 9.

I just ran some tests to see if it was my theme or plugins. I tested on a site with WP 3.4.2; no active plugins running and WP theme 2012.

I upgraded the site to 3.5. I still have the extremely long window – size was “432876666” in one instance. Sometimes it holds the re-size, sometimes becomes extremely long. This is true in Firefox and IE.

I will continue testing.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. If you need a login please let me know.

Andrew, Thank you for this tip.
I’m getting this number in Firefox “64476666”. It is quite high.

After resizing the post edit box to about an inch and a half high, I get this number: “15276666”.

The set user edit size to 200 works. After I use it the number in Firefox is: “200”

But, is that only for me as the logged in user?

This is of great concern as I created this site for non WP saavy folks to login and create posts. Below the post edit box are the custom fields they need to access. They won’t know they are there at this point.

Thank you for any help in getting back to a manual box size setting.

I suggest trying it on a test site that has little or no other plugins running. Keep everything very simple. Once you get it working there, you can figure out what is going on with your site.

I use GF with the Directory all the time. Sometimes I have had problems having the entries show up. But, I’ve always worked it through.

Are your posts actually published, or are they pending? Do you have a site where you are logged in as a user other than Administrator? If so, and the Directory is set to show you only posts you have created, that can factor in. Did you go to Entries and click the little Edit link at the end of the title bar and set what fields will display?

In the Gravity Form, each field has a Tab ‘Directory’. Are your fields set to display or hide in the Directory?

I hope your work it out.

Best regards, Nancy

@firstep3 While Zack is working on this issue, one thing you might do is restrict access to areas of the Dashboard and Configuration using plugins like Adminimize and Admin Editor Pro.

Hi Zack, I just realized that I am not getting those errors on another site I run.

The other site has various checkboxes, radio button fields, and when edited are fine.

It must be some kind of plugin conflict in the first site I mentioned. I will do some more analysis and get back to you.

Thanks, nancy

To clarify my last comment. Even if a logged in Author or Contributor creates a post using a Gravity Form, they cannot edit it in the directory.

Only if they are an editor can they edit thru the Single Entry edit function.

After I change Authors and Contributors to the Editor role, the editing permission works.

I’d love to have that for Authors and Contributors.

You use the from to create a post or set of data.

A directory is a table showing all the posts in columns and rows. It can also be shown in an ordered list. You can set the columns to be sortable.

Single entry is a popup from clicking on a link in the directory that shows one post.

Hope that clarifies.

@daisybluedesign you may want to look into Loopbuddy by iThemes since you want to have specific layouts for your archive view or listing.

I don’t think Gravity Forms directory links to the actual post. Just the lightbox view.
