I’ve found that the Jetpack contact form puts in
%26#x002c; for comma (,) and
%26#039; for apostrophe (‘)
if I’m using the visual editor.

Since it wraps text fields in the single quote, the label field which contains the apostrophe gets wiped out.

Apostrophe is a reserved entity in HTML,
entity name ' and
entity number '

I think some entity encoding string substitutions are getting fouled up.

If I use use the Text editor tab and replace the single quotes with double (which the plugin used to use – I just upgraded and noticed the difference), the label line containing the apostrophe renders.

I just want to state publicly that Tobias was incredibly helpful in finding and fixing my problem. Thank you for your exceptional level of service and excellent plugin.

Cheston, I’m glad you found a solution too. Something like Formidable Forms Pro might work for importing, viewing, and manipulating your data if you want to do it in WordPress and have it live on the web.

I made a CSV version of the data, which didn’t fail on import, but wouldn’t save. The error is
“Error: The table could not be saved.”

A suggestion appeared to try holding down the SHIFT key while I clicked Save, but that had the same result.

DIVs to the rescue! Thank you, worked perfectly.

I discovered this recently too. You can manually add in the title. Click the “Edit image” button to get to the editing screen. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Inserting_Images_into_Posts_and_Pages#Step_5_.E2.80.93_Inserting_the_image

Since 3.5 it seems that WP is deprecating use of the Title attribute because of confusion or misuse between Title and Alt, especially as regards accessibility for non-sighted users, screen readers, or text-only displays. https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/18984

Arne, perhaps jQuery Colorbox could use the Alt attribute instead of Title to display image titles?

Hi Scott,
Your PDFs show up for me on a Macbook Air with Lion (10.7.5), on both Safari and Firefox.

@dkerrigan, is this still a problem for you?

I saw this post, suggesting disconnecting and reconnecting the Facebook accounts
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-social-not-successful-in-broadcasting-to-facebook
and it worked for me.

It turns out the account owner had changed their password.

I was having the same problem, and disconnecting & reconnecting the Facebook account did the trick. Turns out the account owner had changed their password.

Out of curiosity, I translated the Unix times. The current times match today, but the session expiration time was almost two weeks ago, not just a few days ago.

I’m scheduling posts several days in advance, and I find that they’re getting broadcast to Twitter, but not to Facebook Pages. I get this message:

Social failed to broadcast the blog post [POST TITLE] to one or more of your Social accounts.
Facebook: [NAME] (Error validating access token: Session has expired at unix time 1338508800. The current unix time is 1339609154.)
Facebook: [NAME] (Error validating access token: Session has expired at unix time 1338508800. The current unix time is 1339609154.)
Possible fixes:
Social was not successful in broadcasting this post (perhaps the service is down?), please try broadcasting again. If you receive this message repeatedly, you can try the support forums.

When I go into the post to try to manually broadcast to the Facebook Pages, I get the same error, with a different current time:
Facebook: [NAME] (Error validating access token: Session has expired at unix time 1338508800. The current unix time is 1339613081.)

I’m thinking Social gets the authorization when I schedule, then it’s expired by the time the post publishes. Can the code be run, or re-run, at publishing time?

I found this post which looks like it might have a solution in case the code is not already doing this:

RavanH, thanks for the fancybox-iframe tip!

Right, I understood it to be a Firefox browser plugin that was needed. Since I can’t count on all website viewers to be using the right browser or have optional browser plugins installed, I needed to find another solution.

Yours is one of the best documented and most flexible *Box plugins I’ve found. Thank you!

I solved it, thanks to the example page you posted in another thread:
https://demo.4visions.nl/easy-fancybox-sandbox/pdf-embeds/

Thank you for that. Maybe it would be a good addition to the FAQ page.

Hi Ravan,

I’d like to use this specifically for PDFs. It’s working great in Safari and Chrome, but not in Firefox: An overlay opens, but the document does not display, and I get a message that an additional plugin is required. I click “Install Missing Plugins”, and the “Plugin Finder Service” window tells me “No suitable plugins were found.” I’m using Firefox 12.0 on Mac OS X 10.7.3. I tried the iFrame solution above and it didn’t help. Also tried installing the Use Google Libraries plugin, no change.

Here’s the page I’m experimenting with:

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Karen

You’re welcome! ??
