    No worries, I’m sure I’ll track them down one day.. ??

    Thanks esmi, do you have any idea who to contact for this then? The GH repo itself has the ‘Issues’ feature disabled and there’s no info other than a simple description of “WordPress, Git-ified. Synced via SVN every 15 minutes…” etc.

    Turns out the full repo is over 80MB, while as I’m sure you know, WordPress itself is a tiny fraction of that size.

    No problem Barry, thanks for the reply. I was simply asking this question here in the hopes of finding someone else who had run into a similar issue..

    I’ve been looking at other theme templates and I started converting my theme to roots.io last night (in which this plugin works perfectly), so this particular query is not really applicable as of now. (:

    I’m having the same issue here, latest plugin update and WP 3.7.1.

    And I have to agree with Justin, setting an ‘all day’ event should override all other time-related settings for that event, and simply occupy that one date. ??

    Ok, back again.. Last post for now, promise. ?? I got it working, but not the way I would like it to.

    I have no idea why, but setting the default value for ‘post_title_link’ to false and then setting it to true in the shortcode works. Problem with this is that any time my modified shortcode is used, unless the user explicitly sets post_title_link=”true”, it will not create a link.

    I can work with this for now, but I’m still open to any other suggestions.

    Ok, weird.. I decided to try edit the plugin file through the WP editor directly, I altered it slightly to rather use ‘post_title_link’ instead of ‘title_link’, and the output loop has this instead:

    if ( $post_title_link == false ) {
    	$title = '<span class="title">' . get_the_title() . '</span>';
    } elseif ( $post_title_link == true ) {
    	$title = '<a class="title" href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a>';
    }

    It hasn’t broken anything, but it also hasn’t changed anything either.. Am I missing something here?

    Ok, looking through the source for the plugin, I see it does actually have an ‘include_content’ parameter that uses get_the_content()… I’m sure I did try that option in the shortcode and it didn’t work for me. I’ll check this again just now.

    For the title link, I’ve modified the plugin code as mentioned below.

    New entry in the $atts array:

    'title_link' => true,

    Then this in the next section:

    $title_link = (bool)$atts['title_link'];

    And lastly, I wrapped the loop’s title output in an if() statement:

    if ( $title_link ) {
    	$title = '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a>';
    } else {
    	$title = '<span class="title">' . get_the_title() . '</span>';
    }

    Bill, unfortunately I haven’t fixed my test WP install on my webserver and I’m not near my main dev machine at the moment, so before I go install this on a client’s website… This won’t break anything in your plugin, will it? I only had time to skim through the code, I haven’t been able to read through all functions thoroughly yet.

    It’s been a month since I asked for help and still nothing…? I’m not asking anyone to rewrite a website, I just want some suggestions on what I can try..

    Please?

    I’m still having this problem, it’s getting to be a major irritation for the owner of the website (and therefore for me as well).. I found a really old ticket logged for WP 2.01 regarding this issue (link), but that was resolved 6 years back.

    I also found a more recent post on StackExchange regarding the same problem (link), which also links to two other TracTickets talking about removing the ?> tag at the end of the functions.php file. I tried removing this from both the theme’s function file and the system functions.php (found in wp-includes), but the problem is still there.

    Doesn’t anybody have any suggestions for this…?

    My apologies if anybody tried to load the linked images.. I was playing with some settings I shouldn’t have and my VPS died a horrible and gruesome death, I only just got it back up and running now. Anyway, the example images are back up again.

    Nobody have any ideas on what’s causing the media editor to use my custom image size as it’s source…? I still haven’t managed to figure it out myself. ??

    I’d suggest adding a DIV element before the wrapper DIV, with an image inside it. For example:

    <div id="skyscraper">
    	<img src="skyscraper.png">
    </div>

    Then for the CSS, use the following:

    #skyscraper {
    	position: fixed;
    	left: 0;
    	bottom: 0;
    	z-index: -1;
    }

    This will cause the skyscraper DIV to stay fixed in the bottom left corner of the site, behind the content, and it will stay in place as the user scrolls.

    Is that what you had in mind?

    The best method would depend on how your site is currently setup.

    If you have an element that reaches the area you want the skyscraper image to show (like a wrapper, or inner-wrapper), you could set the image as a background for that element.

    Otherwise, you could simply set the image element (or it’s containing element if you prefer that) to either absolute or relative position, and then shift it to the left.

    If you could provide a link to the page where you want to make this change, that would make it easier to help.

    Hey, I’d completely forgotten about this thread… Haven’t seen it in ages. Unfortunately I didn’t find any plugin that would do it all. But if I remember correctly, I ended up using WP Events with gallery shortcodes in the templates to display attached photos where applicable.

    The site is down at the moment, had some hosting problems so it’s moving to another server. I actually need to rework a few things on it though, so if it helps, when it’s up and running I’ll double check how I did the events and post back here.

    Thanks Becki, looks like a pretty viable option. If I can set the default option to ‘exclude’ then it should in theory be even better than what I was originally hoping for, hopefully resulting in a more flexible menu system.

    However, I’ll have to dig into that tomorrow night… I’m a help manual author by day, and an aspiring self-taught web designer/developer by night… Right now, I’m at my day job, so it would probably be a good plan to get back to work now. :p

    Thanks for the suggestions though, I’ll post back once I’ve done some more digging. ??

    Please don’t take this the wrong way, I do understand why you’re suggesting that and I have used it myself in the past quite effectively. But it still involves building a custom menu, which is something I’m trying to avoid doing in this specific case. If you knew the people this website was for like I do, you’d understand. ??

    However, if there no other any ideas, maybe I should simply rework the menu structure and restrict the level of menus to 2. It’s not optimal, but depending on how the site develops in the future, I’m pretty sure I can make it work (at least until my PHP skills get better anyway).
