In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Additional Headers Syntax ErrorThanks for that! I’ll try to make this my last question (sorry for so many!). Given what you just told me, do you think that my issue could be because my form-tags include placeholder text? They look like this:
[text* your-name placeholder "name"] [text* your-email placeholder "email"]My form looks better with placeholder text rather than using name and email labels above the field boxes on my site, so I want to keep the placeholders if at all possible. Thanks!

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Additional Headers Syntax ErrorAre those just random numbers? Does it matter which numbers I use? Sorry for all the questions, for whatever reason Contact Form 7 is a little confusing for me!

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Additional Headers Syntax ErrorThanks for replying. But those form-tags are marked as required in my form. Are you saying that I should mark them as required in the Additional Headers field too???

In reply to: Yo, Bring Back Old Image Attributes!John, you’ve made one of the best arguments that I’ve read anywhere around here or online for bringing back those image attributes in the image editor. You’re exactly right – they’re like bold and italic text. The old image editor allowed users to make stylistic accents to images just like you can do with text.
I’m now leery of future updates. And I just don’t trust WP as much as I used to.

In reply to: Yo, Bring Back Old Image Attributes!I made a simple and clear request in my initial post – to please restore the old image editor. Or to at least consider restoring it.
I was not asking for assistance. Had I been, your repeated suggestions to use that plugin would have been sufficient and I’d have marked this topic as resolved.
So yes, I complained because my request was not appropriately handled. Why not, you may ask? Because at no point in this thread was my request met with a response that explained why restoring the old image editor is unlikely to occur (at this present time, at least).
In other words, I asked could the old/3.8 image editor features be restored. An actual response (however disappointing) could have been something along the lines of “no, and here’s why those features were possibly removed.” An even more effective response to my request would have gone on to try to explain how the features’ removal could benefit me as an average WP user in the long term, even though it’s a short term annoyance.
Instead, my response was just met with suggestions to download a plugin. I hope you can see how this isn’t responding to my request.
Words matter.

In reply to: Yo, Bring Back Old Image Attributes!Right. Just like “anyone” can run for president in the US. Please.

In reply to: Yo, Bring Back Old Image Attributes!Okay I reviewed the link. And??? The only thing I gather from that ticket thing is that you guys have basically chosen to ignore/”resolve” this issue by telling us to download a plugin.
I’m tired of going back and forth on this, especially since the mods are just repeating canned responses like robots.
It seems that the out-of-touch and elitist WP developers win yet again.

In reply to: Yo, Bring Back Old Image Attributes!No I didn’t add another plugin to my site, esmi, because I have been able to figure out how to alter images by adding style attributes directly on the page or post.
I feel like a broken record, but WP is being a little tone deaf on this one. I’m not adding a plugin to do something that should be restored as a native WP feature.
WP is trifling!

In reply to: Yo, Bring Back Old Image Attributes!Libraryhack, you are completely 100% right. We shouldn’t have to use a plugin to restore basic functionalities, especially functionalities that make WP easy for people to use, regardless of how much basic coding experience they may possess.
We will get this overturned!!

In reply to: Yo, Bring Back Old Image Attributes!Andrew et. al, it’s not a matter of my theme not being able to handle borders and padding. Because I’m talking about WP’s native Image Editor thing. As in, when I am creating/editing a page or post and I go to click on “Add Media.” The image editor that pops up doesn’t have options to augment images anymore.
I’m not installing a plugin for a feature that used to be (and SHOULD be) native to WP. At least not if I can avoid it. I can fiddle with adding margin-right: xxpx; and whatnot, but it’s just a hassle and really takes away from the democratic, open-to-all nature of WP.
Whatever, there are bigger issues in my life than this. But I hope the WP folks continue to make updates that are useful to ALL users, not just coding and WP pros.
Peace.
