 * How can I sorty the display sequence of FAQs once they have been entered? THere
   sssms to be no way of doiongh this other than deleting and then recreating the
   FAQs in the required sequence.
 * Presents a real problem if a new question has to be inserted in the middle of
   the existing FAQs

 * Dear Pranab-
 * I really like your plugin. It is good looking and easy to use. On your next update,
   could you integrate a drag-drop sort ordering? Or integrate the ability to access
   and edit the post date in order to sort the faqs? This is really really important
   need for FAQ lists.
 * I will keep it installed with hopes that the next update has this added feature.
 * Thank you!

 * Hello lostSqualo and phrasewrite,
 * I’ve updated the plugin. Drag and drop feature has been added to allow you sort
   order your FAQs. Hope you’ll like this update. And Thank you for you advice and
   suggestions.
 * Thank you.

 * Pranab- the update causes this error when I go to the admin area to update the
   FAQs :
 * Warning: require(/partials/_form_elements.php): failed to open stream: No such
   file or directory in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas04_data01/92/2328992/html/wp-content/
   plugins/wp-responsive-faqs/src/admin_menu.php on line 29
 * Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/partials/_form_elements.php’(
   include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5_4/lib/php’) in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas04_data01/
   92/2328992/html/wp-content/plugins/wp-responsive-faqs/src/admin_menu.php on line
   29
 * Standing by for a solution. And hang in there… I know you’ll get it fixed fast.

 * Hello phrasewrite,
 * Sorry for any inconvenience. I was fixing sum bugs. So can you please try to 
   update the plugin once again and after that please deactivate the plugin and 
   then activate again.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * Many thanks for what sounds like a great update… Only problem is that the admin
   page fails to load in WP 3.8.5, whereas the older plugin version (1.1) the admin
   loads just fine.
 * The two installations I’m currently running cannot yet be updated to 4.0.*, so
   I’m stuck with an old version of the plugin and unable to sort.
 * FYI, if I use the old version to add FAQs, and then install version 1.3, the 
   WP-FAQ page still does not load, but the FAQs do load OK on the front-end page.
   So the problem appears to be with the admin page only.
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hello lostSqualo,
 * Thank you once again for providing me the detailed description of the problem
   you are facing. This helps me a lot in finding and fixing the bugs. I’ll try 
   to fix this issue as soon as possible.
 * Thank you.

 * I was getting the same problem “Warning: require(/partials/_form_elements.php):…”
   in version 1.3.
 * Changing line 29 in wp-responsive-faqs/src/admin_menu.php as below fixes the 
   issue.
 * <?php require(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/partials/_form_elements.php’ ) ?>

 * Hi nanonanouk,
 * Thanks for that… works a dream, but the same change also needs to be applied 
   to line 211 of the same file. Failure to make that change means that adding categories,
   and filtering the list of FAQs by category in admin doesn’t work.
 * There is also a problem with escaping single and double quotes in the answer 
   texts, such that you end up with runaway \\\\\’s if you forget to manually remove
   the damn things. Not located that problem yet.
 * Cheers

 * OK,
 * Looks as if line #141 needs to be changed to strip slashes when editing a FAQ…
 * Line #141 becomes:
 * `<?php FaqForm( 1 ,stripslashes( trim( $result['question'] ) ), stripslashes(
   trim( $result['answer'] ) ), true, $category_list, $active_categories ); ?>`
 * That should fix the runaway backslashes.
