I tried to follow the suggestions in the web, so I added the code in functions,php to add support for the menus in twenty-twentyfour and allow shortcodes in menus

function register_my_menu() {

? ? register_nav_menu('header-menu',__( 'Header Menu' ));

? }

? add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' );

/**

?* Enable shortcodes for menu navigation.

?*/

if ( ! has_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'do_shortcode' ) ) {

? ? add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'shortcode_unautop' );

? ? add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'do_shortcode', 11 );

}

Al this does not seem to work. Inserting the shortcode in the menu label, it just gets repeated in the menu without being executed. Maybe this trick does not work in block themes anyway.

You are right, but my problem (due without doubt to my lack of experience in the matter) is that I do not understand how you can insert shortcodes in the block menu. At least, I tried and i got the message “cannot insert this block” (shortcodes are blocks themselves). If there is a way of doing it, can you point the documentation to me? Thank you a lot for your attention.

Forget about this, is a duplicate of a question asked a few months ago (sorry, I forgot). However something changed (for the worse): If you create a menu using appearance-> menus, this menu is not recognized at all by the Appearance->editor->navigation, so you cannot insert it for example in the header. You can only generate a navigation menu with the blocks, and here the login/logout)hello username of this plugin do not work. Gutenverse, on the other hand, allows you to select that menu, and everything works.

I apologize again.

Thank you very much. This makes sense, I did not know about then dynamic color correction. I’ll correctn the color manually, as you suggested. Thanks again

Thank you for your answer. It is true that when something is too good (or easy) to be true, it probably isn’t. My browser is Chrome, the extension (PDF viewer) is “Adobe Acrobat: PDF edit, convert, sign tools”, and still doesn’t work. I noticed that on other browsers the Submit button is simply ignored, so you can.t rely on this method working in the user’s browser, even assuming it worked on mine.
What I found is an add-on of Contact Form 7 that can map the fields on a form to the fields in the pdf form, and then mails the pdf as attachment. I will try, even if for the user it would be more natural and immediate to fill the pdf fields directly. Thanks again for your kind attention.

THis is getting annoying. After a few days working, and without any change in the site, wpvivid refuses to go beyond 28% and gets stuck (note that the competitor, that I was forced to use because of this malfunction, works without problems). No lack of space and time, but still it gets stuck. Already sent logs to support. Any news or suggeastions?

THis looks like a common problem. WPVivid backup gets stuck at 42%: no errors nothing. Retry ijn seconds, retry 1 and final stop. After changing as suggested in doc, there was a slight improvement (stuck at 71%, exact behavior as before). Sent log etc to support, still no news,

Stuck at 71%, no sign of timeout…

Start backing up backup_core. Progress: 71%, running time: 27 min(s)7 second(s

Thanks again for your continued interest. As said befiore, I used the plufgin without problems in my original site (www.enrico-marino.com). There I only used the custom links in the menu (xoo-el-login-tgr, xoo-el-logout-menu, xoo-el-username-menu). When I started exprimenting with block themes (twenty-twentyfour) I used a local web server, laragon. The theme does not support menus, so I added the “add_theme_support( ‘menus’ );” to functions.php, as suggested by wordpress; so I got back the menus, but, using the same approach as before, it did not work since the nav block did not seem to recognize the menu, As youn say, maybe I should use different methods, i.e. not the custom links in menu but shortcodes and anchor links, but I could not figure out how. PLease take into account I am a rookie in the matter, I am trying to learn and understand. Thanks again.

Thanks for your interest. However, as I pointed out in my post, I could not make the plugin work with the navigation block provided by wordpress. Instead, using the navigation block provided by Gutenverse, everything works fine, exactly like in the non-block theme. That’s why it appears that the wordpress nav block needs a little more work.

As per the shortcodes, i know I can insert the shortcode in the shortcode block; the problem is that I don’t know where to insert the shortcode block, For sure, you cannot insert them in the menu items. Then, as far as I can see, the shortcode (xoo-el-action?) is only for login, but login is the only thing that works. But maybe I am missing something obvious, and things are easier than I imagine.

I don’t know if someone is interested, but I managed to solve the problem. I have to confirm that using the wordpress Navigation menu block, I was not able to make it work: after the problems listed in the previous post,using appareance->menus, i deleted the menu, rebuilt it with logiin, logout and hello username, with the result that the navigation was not recognized at all by the block editor (menu deleted or not available). So I decided to try the gutenberg plugin Gutenverse. I inserted the NavMenu from this plugin, and… everything worked flawlessly again: only login present for logged out users, logout and hello username (with the ACTUAL username) present for logged in users, logout working fine again. Do we have to conclude that the nav menu of wordpress needs more work?

Thanks for your attention.

The first attempt was as follows: add “add_theme_support( ‘menus’ );” to functions.php. This brings back “menus” under “appearance”. So I rebuilt the menu adding the login/signup items( login, logout, hello username). But this does not work:
1) logout and hello username appear also for non logged in users (in the other theme, only Login correctly appears)
2) clicking login, the popop appears ok, “login” disappears from the menu, but Hello username ” remains without username being replaced by the actual user name as before
3) logout does not work, sends you to the same page without doing anything.

In the block editor, I could not find the way to insert the shortcodes in the navigation entries.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I cannot help you here: since also for me the suggestions did not work, (but I did not have the error messages you mention) I tried with another plugin, which worked without problems. Then I unistalled wpvivid, reinstalled it, and the problem disappeared. Now I am monitoring the scheduled backups to see if really the thingamajic works.

I doubt very much that is a network issue. I have another site, with backup sent to the same google drive,, that works ok, whereas I have been getting this error since three-four hours now

Yes,I I am running the latest vertsion.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I am not able to understand the output of the browser develoment console, what I can see is a bunch of errors…hope you can figure something out of it.

Loading google fonts still does not work in Frost. I disabled all plugins, just to be sure, and still no “load gooogle fonts”. I also tried on a different installation (local server, using Laragon), same result. I posted a request in Frost support forum, no answer at all after five days. I really don’t understand what is happening here,
