We have been using catablog for a few years, mbrsolution is correct, you need to enable the WordPress Filters or the Options, Descriptions tab.

We have set up half a dozen sites in the past and got burned on a new one today. Could not remember what we needed to do to get the shortcodes to work.

This is an outstanding product!

Add the following to your .css file

/*added to widen contact form 7 text field*/
textarea {
   height: 30px;
   width: 500px;
}

Where “500” is how wide you want “Your Message” field to be.

The comment is optional, that’s the stuff between /* and */

I am continuing to work on it. I will post here if I figure it out. Make sure you put comments in your .css file so you remember what you did. Also if you are working in the source style .css make a backup because when you upgrade it will wipe out what you did.

Also we have a few techs here that work on the projects. We keep a “Post” (that we never publish) of all the changes we make to any particular site with notes on why. A year later it is hard to remember what you did to “fix that problem” when an upgrade breaks it again.

Just further info, I cam make “textfields” any width with the generator.

“Textarea” just does not go beyond 200 pixels or so.

Having the same issue. Just a simple out of the box form. I added the example above to the css, it does change the size of the text fields. Eg. Name, Email and Subject.

For others with same issue our theme has a custom.css that overrides the style.css check your theme to see where would be best to add the edit.

But not the “Your Message” area.

Using the Generate tag option in the plugin, adding a new Your Message box, no mater the size selected the width of the box never changes, the height does.

Thanks Otto, Jetpack does not send posts to twitter, but I do not need that for the site I have the problem with. https://www.SidewalkFlyer.com

So it will work fine for me till I do need that feature.

I never could get the Twitter Tools to run, even deleted the record from the database and the plugin and tried reinstalling. Works on a few other sites we have. Odd, but we are running with your recommendation Jetpack now, thank you for your help.

Hi Otto, nice to see you again!

…Doh they were on page two of my plugins. Need to delete some of them, inactive (other peoples) not using many on this site.

I owe you a beer for being so careless, me not you.

I am looking for a widget to bring twitter tweets back to the sidebar on the site. Is that in the package or am I thinking of another plugin.

Thanks to both of you for reporting this, we were just about to install All in One SEO Pack. We just set up a new site with Contact Form 7.

It would have been a long day, we will wait for a solution before we run them both.

That works for us.

How do you remove the page title from the other pages?

We tried;

.about .page .page-title {
display: none;
}

To remove the contact page title, it did not work.

I would like to make these changes to the child theme, not the source files. I know we could comment out the titles in page.php

You should pull those changes out of the base theme and put them in a child theme. Also you should comment on the changes you are doing so you remember when you need to work on it again in the future.

If you commented on the changes you made to your theme to do the color changes, you will be able to find them with ease.

raddy59 we just started testing, and have the same problem.

There is quite a tricky solution for this which has taken an age to sort out

Thanks to all who helped

So what was the solution?

@ Wallyjakeman, I have been working with WP since Version 1.2, I have helped many others when I can. Sometimes it is in setup, use, testing, marketing the product. We all contribute our skills when we can.

“I do understand that you don’t want to work for free, but then maybe the plugin should not be for free either.” said Wallyjakeman

If it were not free it could not be listed in the WordPress Plugins area.

“Steve, no one answered to your question because it were a waste of time.” said Mr. Hoppe

Yes two months, when I got notice of a posting on this thread I came to see what the response was. It was not a solution, or that you would not answer the question, it was someone else looking for a solution too. I was ignored for two months, and that’s ok it’s your time. I put no demands on that.

I gave the user an alternate solution, within a reasonable time.

I changed the status to resolved, the resolution is to use another plugin.

@wallyjakeman

I gave up because I never got an answer. I found this one it has much less overhead plus no “pro” version costs. Not sure if it will do what you need it to, but it works for us.

Plus no nagging in your dashboard.

That was the only get_option() error the entire month.

I found this entry at exactly the same time as that PHP error in the access logs;
[06/Dec/2010:06:33:47 -0500] "GET /wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/ossdl-cdn.php HTTP/1.1" 500 5 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +https://www.google.com/bot.html)"

Installed 0.9.9.6 still have the blank WP-Super-Cache screen. I did not deactivate and start it again, this is a busy time of day for the site.

We are on a shared server and can not increase our memory, so I am looking for ways to trim the things we are running on the site.

We ran Bad Behavior because I thought it was needed for WP Super Cache. Used SK2 forever, and know it’s not supported anymore, just trusted it for so long hate to let it go. I will test shutting it off and also check out cookies for comments.

By the way that’s the first time I looked at the error log in years, guess I should keep a better eye on that.

Not running MU, the files are in wp-super-cache in the plugins folder. I must have just done an update recently (automatic) since the file dates are 11/26, could it be that screen has been blank since then? (version 0.9.9.7)

I have a backup (0.9.9.3) but not sure if that was the version I was running prior. Before auto updates, I would do a mini backup before changing a plugin.

Should I fall back or will I have database issues?

I will go get smart on memory, the site has gotten bloated I should clean it up too. As soon as I can see the WP Super Cache Screen I will convert the permalinks too so we can start running Super Cache in the full mode.
