Ah.
Just seen that you aren’t answering any of these forum posts.
That’s a shame, as it’s a nice plugin.

Now it doesn’t even get past the ‘checking’ stage when you put in an email.

Hi paulhaskell,

just seen your post and in case you haven’t found the solution yet, the author’s name in the twentytwelve entry-meta div is inside a span with a class of ‘by-author’:

For single author sites, this class is hidden on line 970 of style.css

.single-author .entry-meta .by-author {
    display: none;
}

(nb: .single-author will be showing up as a class in the body tag)

So if you’re using a child theme, you could counteract it by adding the following to your style.css, for eg:

.single-author .entry-meta .by-author {
    display: inline;
}

Hi Tom,
thanks for your response.
I thought that might be the problem, and will indeed try using the standard backup path. However, it must be a recent change, because I’ve used this method for over a year with no problems until recently.

The reason I moved the backup folders up and out of the main httdocs dir in the first place was because I’ve had a few sites hacked over the last year or two, and it seemed logical to try and keep the backups away from the site itself. Is there any merit in this idea do you think, or am I just kidding myself?!
Thanks for any insight

I’m having a similar problem with one of my sites;
using the ‘automatic update’ ends in a 404 at this url:
https://www.mydomain.co.uk/wp-admin/update-core.php?action=do-core-upgrade

I’ve tried reverting to the twentyeleven theme and disabling all plugins, but the same thing is happening.

I’ve successfully upgraded several others to 3.5, some of which are on the same hosting provider, so can’t figure out what’s the problem with this site.
I too have many other WP sites to upgrade, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

shadabdurrani, do you have control over the site where you’re pulling the content from?

Likewise. I’m sure I could find where to edit that out in the source code, but it would likely be overwritten on the next upgrade, so to much admin to keep re-editing.

Have also resorted to another slideshow – ‘slideshow’ -(by StefanBoonstra as opposed to the other one by the same name, which hasn’t been updated for a while).
As you say, the upside is – it works :o)

My slideshow isn’t showing up either. In fact any kind of slideshow I try and create isn’t.

I’ve tried adding it via the icon on the toolbar and using the page id
[slideshow post_id=”X”]
I’ve tried adding the images to the Slideshow Gallery under Slideshow > Manage Galleries and creating a gallery, then adding slides to it under > Manage Slides, and then using the
[slideshow gallery_id=”X”] shortcode.
I’ve also tried using the straight [slideshow] shortcode, which if I understand correctly, should show any of the slides added that way.

In each case, the code appears in the page source, but is hidden by some inline css that is telling it not to display:

<ul id="slideshow" class="slideshow" style="display:none;">

I’ve looked everywhere I can think of to see where to turn this off/on, but surely it shouldn’t be this hard?!

Was somewhat disheartened by the lack of responses to requests for help on this forum, but thought I’d give it a go.
This looks like it could be an awesome plugin, -what am I missing?!
Thanks for any help

Lordy, I think you’re right!

Under: Settings > Reading
There’s this choice:

‘For each article in a feed, show’
-Full text or
-Summary

Mine was set to ‘Summary’
Thanks so much danetidwell!

Does the imported post itself contain the full text? Or just the excerpt?

If the full post has been imported, you can control whether your site shows the excerpt or the full content by editing your template files (obviously making sure you are working on a child theme). See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/the_content and https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

The problem I’m having is that Feedwordpress is only pulling the excerpt over, so the post itself is truncated. I too have looked for any option that might relate to this but have found none.
Any help much appreciated!

Oh, and I upgraded sociable in January 2012.
Am scared to upgrade it again now!

Hi NosCoffin, thanks very much for your swift response;

so no, I haven’t changed any of the things you mentioned.
I did add an ID to a div in the sociable core file (liketweet) and changed the CSS to make the 3 buttons that I wanted line up better, but I did this before the upgrade and it worked fine at the time, just lost the numbers after upgrading.

Have a look: https://www.palaceofstories.com/
It’s possible no-one’s liked it since, but the monthly podcasts appear to be gathering likes and tweets (https://www.palaceofstories.com/free-podcast/ ) so it is working, just not picking up the previous ones.

I had the same problem, except the tweet & like buttons were on the homepage of my site, the address of which hasn’t changed, obviously.
When I first installed Sociable, both tweets and likes were in double figures, but when I upgraded the sociable plugin they went to 0 and have remained there ever since..
Any further suggestions gratefully received.

I am having the same problem; this feels like it should be an awesome plugin, but if I can’t find a solution to this then I can’t use it..

Hi, I have a client with the same problem;
I helped him set up a WP site, for which he is the admin; every time he logs in with the password he’s set, it tells him it’s the wrong one and he has to request a new one be sent; He logs in with the temporary one, goes to the admin settings, re-saves a password, but then next time he logs in with that password it doesn’t recognise it.
I’ve created many WP sites myself and never seen this before.
What’s going on?
We’re using WP v 3.2.1.

Thanks for any insight.
