The old, no-longer-on-the-page sentence is still appearing when I click the Facebook share button. I tried logging out of my own Facebook account and using another account – you have to sign in to share something – but the old sentence still appears.

Any other suggestions? Yours is by far the best social media plugin I’ve seen, but I can’t use it with this happening. ??

Patty

Ok, good point. I deactivated the caching plugin, and deactivated *all* plugins except Social Media Feather.

I then tried 3 different browsers on 2 machines, first clearing the cache. In all cases, the Facebook text sentence is definitely not being pulled from the website. Instead, it shows a text which has been completely removed from the website and does not appear anywhere.

In this case, the Social Media Feather shortcode is not in a post or page, but in a “featured area” of the Home Page. It automatically chose a sentence from one of the Widgets on the page and continues to use that sentence.

Google+ and LinkedIn *were* having the same problem, but after a few hours they started pulling a sentence from the live website. Facebook still does not. Could Facebook itself do that, I wonder?

Thank you in advance,

Patty

Me too. Doesn’t just about everybody need to change this? I’d really appreciate a solution. Thanks very much in advance.

Patty

That thread was helpful, thank you. For the record, the problem had nothing at all to do with Genesis.

Also, the Genesis Theme Setting that was the solution for the person on that thread was *not* the fix for me. (I don’t have that setting.)

The Child Theme I’m using just has a very ordinary, not very well-written, search.php file, which didn’t have the requirements that Relevanssi needs.

The crucial bit of information for me was that search.php needed to use the_excerpt() and not the_content(). That was all I needed to know. Relevanssi didn’t work at all before that, but as soon as I changed it, it worked as expected.

Thanks very much for your help!

Sure – here it is:

Thanks very much for having a look.

Patty

No doubt that was my problem, and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it. I’ll get my settings straight and then try again. Thank you both!

Patty

Hi Dourou,

Thanks for responding (and I apologize for my frustration earlier). I did that. (I kept “Sign call as … with full permissions” checked).

Here’s the result:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″ ?>
<rsp stat=”fail”>
<err code=”1″ msg=”User not found” />
</rsp>

Thanks for checking,
Best,
Patty

Hi Camu,

First, thank you for creating the plugin!

The wording is not that bad. “Reflect” makes sense. I just don’t understand IN WHAT WAY my setting should reflect my Permalink structure. *How* should they be similar? What needs to be similar about it? If my Permalink structure has date information in it, should the STCR field have date information in it?

It looks like I have other problems. If everything else was working, I probably wouldn’t have had any questions about the Permalinks, because I would have probably guessed right.

Again, thanks for writing this plugin. It sounds like it is an improvement over the STC plugin, and I’d be happy to use it if I can.

Best,

Patty

Hi Zoonini,

I installed and activated the plugin, but there was no checkbox. So I added the code to comments.php, but still no checkbox. I don’t think my theme is coded weirdly.

When this didn’t work, I uninstalled it and installed Subscribe to Comments, and it does seem to be working. The site is https://www.marciamountshoop.com.

Permalinks: I have it set this way:
https://marciamountshoop.com/2011/12/15/sample-post/

I’m going to respond to Camu separately about the wording.

Thanks for your help. If I can get Reloaded to work, I’d rather use it.

Best,
Patty

Thanks for checking, “Reverend Voodoo”. Checking more feed readers, I see the same.

I think what confused me were the dozens of search results I found from when earlier versions of WP had a bug which did cause that problem.

I believe I’m set – thanks very much.

Patty

Shane, thank you very much. I just managed to edit that setting in the database via phpMyAdmin, and all is well. Much appreciated!

Patty

Thank you “whooami” – here’s what I see:

The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function…

Thank you for the search as well, but I don’t see anything related there. I guess I can ask my host. Maybe it needs to be an email address within the domain. ??

Patty

No luck so far with changing permissions and using the automatic upgrade. I will try a manual upgrade, but first need to make a backup.

It often seems like looking for answers in the Codex only leads to more questions. Plenty of information, but very hard to sort through, at least for me!

Patty

Ok, thank you. I have no idea why the forward slashes appear in those paths.

Will try changing permissions.

Thank you “Hotkee”. In the documentation, I’m reading that there should be no problems hosting WordPress on an IIS server, and my current installation of 2.7 works fine. I can’t find any information on there being a problem with 2.7.1 and IIS.

Can you tell me more or point me to any more info?
