Thank you @payalrajyaguru I have submitted a form submission, please let me know if it is not recieved.

Thank you @payalrajyaguru you have been very helpful!

1. Thanks for confirming that bidder masking is available on all auction types but only for the Pro version of this plugin.
2. For editing the plugin files auction-shortcode.php or email-template.php what is the best way to customize these two files but also make it so they are not overwritten when the plugin is updated? I know how to create a child theme to allow edits for a WP theme, is there a method you recommend for creating a “child” plugin of your auction plugin?
3. Oh that’s great that you are going to fix this issue! I don’t mind if the email version lacks any text formatting such as bold, italic, etc. It’s mainly the lack of line breaks that made the text look like one giant paragraph which looks messy, because I am testing for an item that has a long and detailed description with multiple paragraphs.

Thank you, that video is very helpful! So that seems to be the settings for the free version of the plugin, is this option also available in the Pro version? I am using a test site of the Pro version I got from another post, using https://testdrive.auctionplugin.net and I don’t see a similar option for allow bids without login, am I looking in the wrong spot: Auctions > Settings

Thanks for the link @lukecarbis! Finally got a chance to read it through.

Given that the last update on the discussion was in July, has anything changed since then, is it on your list of items to work on?

I think it would be super useful to be able to nest blocks like that, not just for columns, but it could be used to control other layout elements such as wanting to have a section with a different background and also a block that evokes the sort of stuff we usually use shortcodes for, ie a specific arrangement of icon and label, or a self-contained little scripted animation.

The existing WordPress Gutenberg columns uses their own wordpress-y named column classes and it would be very useful to be able to create my own column blocks that can be named to work with a bootstrap setup, etc.

Hi @lukecarbis

OH lord, I knew it would be something simple that I messed up! Thanks for pointing that out, I fixed the name to remove “block” and now it works! LOL I will keep the naming structure in mind for my future blocks.

Thanks for all your help! This is a really nice plugin, doing exactly what I need it to do.

I tried adding just a simple div with an inline style to test that the preview code was working:

<div style="border:2px solid #0f65f0">
<?php block_field( 'percentage' ); ?>
</div>

Hi Luke!

Thanks for the helpful response and link!

So in my case, if I have a block called “block-insert-donut-shortcode.php” then I should create a file in the /theme/blocks/ folder named “preview-block-insert-donut-shortcode.php”? I tried that and I don’t see it hooking into the preview page, the block doesn’t show the HTML I put in “preview-block-insert-donut-shortcode.php”. Maybe there is some key code I need to have on the preview file to get it to work?

That sounds awesome, thanks!

@modernnerd – thanks so much for the detailed instructions! I followed them and I see that yes that “symbol-defs.svg” is coming up as text/plain, but weirdly it comes up that way when it displays properly as well.

I modified the htaccess file and now the icons load as svq+xml, this is the code I added to the .htaccess file after the part: # END WordPress

# SVG
AddType image/svg+xml .svg .svgz
AddEncoding gzip svgz

Thanks again for your timely help, it’s great to get this issue fixed ??

Oh thanks for the link, I had not seen it! I am not sure I am having the same issue, where would I see the information that was in the screenshot? And I think it’s odd that the icons do show sometimes on the same page, is it likely that the SVG icons being served to be the issue if they appear to work properly some of the time? Thanks for your help so far!

Oh that’s great, I much prefer that you change the plugin than me! Do you know when this updated version with this new feature will be done to update existing installations of the plugin? I am working on a website right now that would really love to use your plugin.

Keep in mind I am not a developer so if it requires adding PHP to a file, I would need someone to provide the whole code needed and tell me exactly where to copy and paste it.

You can disable any plugin through FTP, just find the plugin folder and delete it, WordPress will automatically treat it as disabled/deleted and you should be able to login in like normal again.

it seems to be an issue with WordPress or the plugin not “seeing” some text, either when I copy and paste it or write it fresh, as far as I can tell if I copy a certain dash symbol in from the text that “works”, then the text is “seen” and gets pulled properly into the lightbox div by the plugin. I have used this dash symbol to get the captions to show up but clearly still has a bug.

If I copy the caption from the first image caption that does show up, it shows up on the other lightbox image! I can add new text and it still shows, and now I am fiddling slowwwly with removing the working text to somehow “keep” whatever is it in unseen that “works” but I am making tedious progress!
