Stefano,
THANK YOU so much. I think just about nailed it.
I changed _general_ to _author_ but it’s throwing an argument count error.
I’m unclear regarding how to get data from your class to feed to the function in my template function file.

Any additional tips would be welcome, but no worries. You’ve already given me some ideas.

Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function {closure}(), 2 passed in /wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 287 
and exactly 4 expected in /wp-content/themes/tna/inc/post_pay_counter.php:13

This plugin is amazing right? I’m trying to figure out why it’s free…what the catch? How can it work so well and have a dedicated support site and be free? I’ve been using opensource tools for 15 years and this still amazes me.

You rock!
I need to import into my dev site for testing the new site, then import again just before go-live to get all the latest customers and orders.
I will be buying the pro version today.

I’m betting handling href url params is something simple in the plugin syntax. In the mean time I added a small bit of code to the end of the function before the return to handle multiple URL parameters.

if($atts['htmltag'] && $atts['htmltag'] == 'a'):
	$u=0;
	$url_str = '';
	foreach($params as $param){
		$value = esc_html($_REQUEST[$param]);
		if(strlen($value) > 0):
			if($u == 0){
				$url_str .= '?';
			}else{
				$url_str .= '&';
			}
			$url_str .= $param . '=' . esc_html($_REQUEST[$param]);
			$u++;
		endif;
	}
	$return = '<a href="' . $atts['href'] . $url_str . '">' . $content . '</a>';
endif;

Thank you for your response. I will talk to my supervisor and follow up with you ASAP.

This is not fancy, but it worked for me.
edit_yikes_tabs.php

I built an external script that enabled me to unserialize > edit > serialize and update the meta_values.

Did this get resolved?
I’m having the same problem.
