‘IF’ I ever get time…

I will look to make a branch of this plugin and add this new feature if the developer has truly given up ??

…’IF’

Best,

FYI have managed to get this to work with custom post types.

Add the following

/**
 * Add's hooks to get the meta box added to custom page types
 */
function expirationdate_meta_custom() {
 $custom_post_types = get_post_types();
 foreach ($custom_post_types as $t) {
  add_meta_box('expirationdatediv', __('Post Expirator'), 'expirationdate_meta_box', $t, 'advanced', 'high');
 }
}

At line 179

This worked for me ??

If the developer could add this to the next release, i would be happy ??

Thanks,
Matt

ditto.

would be great to have this functionality out the box.

Thank!

Hi starcomputersupport,

Found a work-around, it’s not pretty but it does work…

$post_id = 2955;
$queried_post = get_post($post_id);
$content = $queried_post->post_content;
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
echo $content;

Create a page, place the shortcode in the page, then note the id of that page, swap your id for mine (2955) and paste the above code where you want the contact form to appear, boomshanka! – there’s the form ??

Like i said, not pretty, but it does work!

Best,
Matt

Really? No one else has had this problem? ??

This seems to have resolved itself for me. I think this is due to the account owner has started to tweet again which they hadnt in 3 weeks while the marketing manager was on holiday. Seems odd that the system would ignore the older tweets though?

Thanks,

– Matt

Hi Kirilln,

Thanks for the super swift reply!

The site can be found here: https://yellowbuses.base-dev.com/

Have a quick look about and let me know your initial thoughts. If I change the user to my personal account this will show tweets fine. I know the account in mention hasn’t posted since July 27th – but shouldn’t the widget just find their most recent tweets regardless of the time frame?

Any help you can offer would be most appreciated,

Thanks Kirilln,

– Matt
