Hi @ivanpetermann,

Thank you!

Hello George,

Thank you for clarifying this!

I have alternatively used jQuery to accomplish it.

Regards

Hello George,

I use [description] to display user generated content from an input textarea form field.

By embedding the shortcodes in the sequence of [read more][description][/read] all of [description] content is hidden and displays by the read more toggle. This is not what I aim for.

Is there a way to extract, say, 3 sentences or extract a certain number of letters (always different content since it is user generated) from shortcode [description] in order for the read more/less toggle to be displayed below the content that is always visible (eg the 3 sentences)?

Thanks

Hi @gkouvousisg,

I not sure I have understood exactly what to do. I will try your solution and if I encounter difficulties I might contact you again.

Thank you!

Hello!

Shortcode [description] inside [read more][/read] populates the text but it is all hidden and displayed in full with the read more toggle.

The problem with populating the long text with shortcode [description] is that I cannot display a certain portion of the text, say 3 sentences, above the read more toggle that will display the rest of the text.

I do not think I can use php in the theme’s custom text block but only shortcodes.

I can add a snippet though using code snippets plugin.

Can this be achieved?

Hi @szymonnt
Thank you for your suggestion. I rolled back to 2.14.6 as well.

Hi @ivanpetermann ,

Once again, thank you for your help and support!

Regards

That’s what I thought but I was not completely sure!

Thanks a lot for your help and clarifying this @bungeshea ??

Perfect!

I will use admin_footer for the code to be placed at bottom of page to speedup loading of wp backend.

I tested and works! ??

I was checking WordPress Code Reference for this solution since I noticed that the code cannot run on both environments when using is_page.

Today I read this article about is_admin

https://dev.to/lucagrandicelli/why-isadmin-is-totally-unsafe-for-your-wordpress-development-1le1

Could you please let me know if using is_admin will make wordpress insecure?

Thank you very much for your help @bungeshea !

I am using the following code in the snippet field:

function hide_checkbox_li() {
if ( is_page ( array( '140', '141' ) ) ) {
?>

<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery code here

</script>

<?php
}
}

add_action('wp_footer', 'hide_checkbox_li', 100);
add_action('admin_head', 'hide_checkbox_li', 10);

I want the code to run on frontend only for pages with ID’s 140 and 141 as well as WP backend. Adding an additional add_filter function will this be correct and secure?

Thank you

Hello @ivanpetermann ,

With mask “0000” the code below works. However, I tried to change the mask pattern but actions removeClass and addClass do not work. The code I use is this:

function validation_colors() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
        $("input[type='text']").mask('A', {translation: {'A': {pattern: /[a-zA-Z0-9]/, recursive: true}}}, {
            reverse: false,
            onComplete: function(val) {
                $("div.fieldset-job_title > div.field-head > label").removeClass("invalid-text").addClass("valid-text");
            },
            onChange: function(val) {
                $("div.fieldset-job_title > div.field-head > label").removeClass("invalid-text").addClass("valid-text");
            },
            onInvalid: function(val, e, f, invalid, options) {
                $("div.fieldset-job_title > div.field-head > label").removeClass("valid-text").addClass("invalid-text");
            }
        });
    });
</script>
<?php
}

add_action('wp_footer', 'validation_colors', 10);

Could you please help me find out what is wrong with the pattern ‘A’ that works, but the classes that do not?

Thank you

Hi @cherylstash and @liljimmi

Was the issue mentioned by @cherylstash related to the inability of ordering the terms after updating to WP 5.9.1?

You mention that it works now, what do you mean?

For me the ordering of terms is lost and reordering of terms does not work after 5.9.1. Moreover after saving and reloading the taxonomy page, all terms still reorder alphabetically.

Thanks

Hi,

I have updated to wp 5.9.1

Ordering of terms is lost and reordering does not work, reloading the term page all terms are set alphabetically.

Will this issue be fixed by the plugin’s update or WP’s update or not fixed at all?

On the ticket for this issue: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/54902 it is mentioned that it is fixed on wp 5.9.1, but the plugin’s ordering still has the issue.

Thanks
