No problems here with WP 6.1.1, Avada 7.9.1, PHP 7.4.33 and Members 3.2.2.

Thanks, @webagile! I had to experiment a bit with that. It appeared that this has been set at 20 by our theme (Avada). But I could increase that to 50 without causing problems elsewhere. The blog archive content elements have their own setting.

Now I can set ‘Excerpt words’ at 50 in Newsletter and it respects the Read more tag as long as I put that < 50. In practice I will probably choose something like 30 35.

So to conclude: Newsletter takes the global WordPress setting for the excerpt length as a maximum for ‘Excerpt words’ and respects the Read more tag as long as you put that at a point < ‘Excerpt words’. I could not find that in the documentation.

Nobody?

P.S. whatever number I set at ‘Excerpt words’, 30 or 40, it always adds an excerpt of 20 words.

Well it looks like 3 little plugins that were custom build for us are causing the problem. They seem to cause a cascade of errors in WP, Ninja Forms, Newsletter and Woocommerce when PHP is set to 8.1

When I leave them deactivated everything else seem to work fine.

Hmmm, no, with twenty-twenty-two and all plugins (except staging) disabled I’m not getting any ‘depricated warnings’. I don’t understand why some plugin or theme could cause errors in /wp-includes/functions.php and /wp-includes/formatting.php but that must be my lack of PHP knowledge.

So I guess I’m up to the task of activating 45 plugins one by one…..

Thanks. I see now that ‘Click here to create a booking form with this calendar’ generates a new shortcode each time.

Merci. I’m not comfortable fiddling in databases directly, so you’ll guess my feature request.

On Github version 1.7 is available since 25 jan. 2022. No idea why it has not been made available here on www.ads-software.com. But disclaimer: I’m no developer and I don’t fully understand the Github workflow.

@kjoseph706 you will probably have to install Classic Widgets.

David, you’re a genius! 20220614 does the job just perfect. We’re in production (on another page including Ajax search on the PDF’s) and people love it. Thank you so much!

Thanks, David! I managed to create a custom style template. My first steps in the world of CSS! I found out that I needed to add !important behind all the properties I added to make them escape from the theme’s straight jacket. Now the titles look perfect.

I’m still confused about markup templates. Should I add my own class behind [+link+]? How do I create that? Probably this is still a bridge too far for me. My reviewers suggested to add “Use Ctrl+click to open in a new tab” above the page. We might just do that in the final version.

@antonaleksandrov Yes, the 1.3.1 update solved the problem, thanks!

No, I do not have a redirect in my .htaccess.

I call it a redirect because the URL under ‘Add New’ is …/wp-admin/media-new.php but I end up on …/wp-admin/upload.php. But there could be a whole chain of scripts in between. My knowledge of PHP very limited.

Deactivating all plugins will make our site unusable for members, so I will pick a night this weekend to try that.

But are you aware that several people are reporting exactly the same issue on Github?

I reported our case there, but my knowledge level is insufficient to further participate in discussions on a developer site.
