Title: Fields missing, plugin not working Last modified: October 22, 2017 --- # Fields missing, plugin not working * Resolved [robinmetral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinmetral/) * (@robinmetral) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/) * Hey Arun/Kuttappi, * First of, thanks for the plugin. I’ve been looking for a simple Q&A plugin ALL DAY, but all I could find were things like DWQA – much too complicated and difficult to tweak. * Anyway– I installed the plugin and personalized the messages (translating them to french) straight away. Unfortunately it didn’t work: I think some fields ( including the secret question ones) were missing, so posting was impossible. Then I tried to go back to the basics and use only [askmeanythingpeople], but the same problem occurs. You can witness it on the page I sent you. * I hope you can help me fix this! Looking forward to your support before rating you 5 stars 🙂 Robin * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffields-missing-plugin-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Thread Starter [robinmetral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinmetral/) * (@robinmetral) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9610400) * Hey Arun and thanks for your reply ! * The version you tested on the webpage is not translated. I’ve used the default settings and messages. I’m trying to get it to work before translating it. * How did you still manage to post a question ? 😀 It doesn’t work on my end – see a screenshot [here](http://eaudepoisson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/AMA-screenshot.png). * Thanks in advance for your help Robin * Plugin Author [Arun Basil Lal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arunbasillal/) * (@arunbasillal) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9610525) * Hey Robin, * Who me? I posted a question? Must be someone anonymous 😉 * Jokes aside, I see the problem now. It is the CSS of your theme. * Here is how to fix it. Add the following CSS to the ‘Custom CSS’ tab in the plugin settings and save it. * ``` .ask-me-anything-people #commentform .comment-form-comment label { display: block !important; position: static !important; } ``` * This should work. Please let me know if it does. * Regards, Arun * Thread Starter [robinmetral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinmetral/) * (@robinmetral) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9610574) * It works! Thank you so much 🙂 Last couple things: * (1) in terms of translations, I’d need to also edit the following text fields: –“ Enter your answer..” in the secret question field – “Since you are currently logged in, your question will not be anonymous. Please log out or open this page in a private window if you wish to stay anonymous.” – “asked:” and “replied:”( in the replies) – “on” and “at” in the date display * (2) **EDIT: FIXED **I can’t hide the avatar using the 0 value. Any idea why? * ``` /* FORCE HIDE AVATAR */ .amaavatar .avatar { display: none !important; } ``` * (3) On your [website](http://kuttappi.com/ask/?), the avatar is appearing on the left of the comments, and the name+”asked”+date are appearing on one line. How can I do this too? It would greatly improve readability. * Thanks again Arun Robin - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [robinmetral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinmetral/). - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [robinmetral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinmetral/). - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [robinmetral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinmetral/). - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [robinmetral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinmetral/). * Plugin Author [Arun Basil Lal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arunbasillal/) * (@arunbasillal) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9610825) * Hey Robin, * 1. There are no shortcodes for these text fields. You can translate it programmatically. Add this code to the functions.php of the current theme: [http://millionclues.com/wordpress-tips/translate-wordpress-programmatically-gettext/](http://millionclues.com/wordpress-tips/translate-wordpress-programmatically-gettext/) * Couple of fields were not translation ready. I have updated them in the latest version I just updated. Ver 1.3.1. Please update the plugin before you use it. * Note: For complete translation use the .pot file. For your convenience, I have generated one and added it to the /languages/ folder. * Here is a tutorial on how to translate using .POT files using various tools: [http://wplang.org/translate-theme-plugin/](http://wplang.org/translate-theme-plugin/) * To tell WordPress to use the language file, follow this tutorial: [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/139161/90061](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/139161/90061) * 2. That is weird, it should be hidden. However, you can also use a workaround. Add this CSS to the Custom CSS box (below the previous CSS). * ``` .amaavatar img { display: none !important; } ``` * Hope that helps. * Plugin Author [Arun Basil Lal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arunbasillal/) * (@arunbasillal) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9610830) * 3. The theme you are using sets in comments as block. elements need to be display: inline. This will make it in one line. * Thread Starter [robinmetral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinmetral/) * (@robinmetral) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9611031) * Thanks for the reply! I’ll get translating 🙂 As for the inline display of comment meta, I’ve tried variations of this code * ``` /* FORCE COMMENT INFO DISPLAY TO INLINE */ .div.ama-question-meta span { display: inline !important; } ``` * … but without success. Do I need to change all of my site’s comment display settings? Couldn’t I simply edit the span elements in the AMA page?

It should be * `.ask-me-anything-people #comments span` * Thread Starter [robinmetral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinmetral/) * (@robinmetral) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9611329) * Hey! * _First of, translation done 👍 I emailed you the files_ * The code above doesn’t work either 🙁 I don’t know what I can try next. Hope you can help me get this right! * Cheers * Plugin Author [Arun Basil Lal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arunbasillal/) * (@arunbasillal) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9611577) * Robin, * Did you try this? [http://millionclues.com/wordpress-tips/translate-wordpress-programmatically-gettext/](http://millionclues.com/wordpress-tips/translate-wordpress-programmatically-gettext/) * The CSS I sent before was just the selector, it should be: * ``` .ask-me-anything-people #comments span { display: inline !important; } ``` * I think you should do some manual digging and read on how to get the translation done using the link I provided and other resources on Google. Everything you need to translate it is on this thread. * Thread Starter [robinmetral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robinmetral/) * (@robinmetral) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9614171) * Hi again 🙂 * I didn’t try the programmatic translation, because I’ve done a full file-based translation of your plugin. The advantage of a file-based translation is that other French speakers wouldn’t need to go through the process of programmatic tranlation in order to use your plugin in their native language 🙂 * As for the inline comment meta, the code you sent is the one I used – which still doesn’t work. I’ll keep checking for solutions online, but if you have any input on how to get this done, it would be greatly appreciated! * Cheers and all the best Robin * Plugin Author [Arun Basil Lal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arunbasillal/) * (@arunbasillal) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9614221) * Robin, * Makes sense. After uploading the translation files did you edit your wp-config. php as mentioned here? [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/139161/90061](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/139161/90061) * You will need to add: * `define('WPLANG', 'fr_FR');` * This should load the translations. * Arun * Plugin Author [Arun Basil Lal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arunbasillal/) * (@arunbasillal) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9626969) * Hey Robin, * Did you get a chance to follow through with my last suggestion? Setting the WPLANG in wp-config.php will tell WordPress to use the translation file you created. * Marking as resolved as the original request was answered and nothing is remaining at my end for translation to work. Feel free to open a new thread if you have more questions. * Best regards, Arun Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) The topic ‘Fields missing, plugin not working’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/ask-me-anything-anonymously_959992. svg) * [Ask Me Anything (Anonymously)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ask-me-anything-anonymously/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ask-me-anything-anonymously/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ask-me-anything-anonymously/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ask-me-anything-anonymously/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ask-me-anything-anonymously/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ask-me-anything-anonymously/reviews/) * 12 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Arun Basil Lal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arunbasillal/) * Last activity: [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-missing-plugin-not-working/#post-9626969) * Status: resolved
