In reply to: [Meow Lightbox] Content disapears in 5.5.2I concur. I reverted to 5.5.1 by downloading from https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/meow-lightbox/advanced/ and discovered a thing – if you upload the zipped plugin file via ‘upload plugin’ on the plugin page admin, if it encounters the same plugin it gives you the option of over-writing. Nice! This is probably not new, but previously I used to do the overwrite via a file manager in hosting.
My feedback would be that you have a very short window within which to regain the trust of the thousands of people who have relied upon this plugin as a critical part of their WordPress installations.
For many it will be too late, but for those waiting to see what happens, I would suggest that a complete & rapid reinstatement of the things that made this plugin so popular is the only way forward – which basically means reverting to 4.1.7 functionality.
Then have a good think about how to improve the plugin where it’s actually needed.
Your existing users are your greatest asset and keep in mind that only a small percentage of them will take the time to give you feedback on version 5, most will silently leave.
Just my 2 cents worth, but requiring your average plugin user to now have to use filters for a range of options and functions that used to be accessible via the plugin admin seems baffling and bizarre.
I’m not sure why you are taking the plugin in this direction, but you are making it less usable for many or perhaps most people.
From a developer’s point of view it may seem simple to add a snippet to functions.php or even a snippet plugin – but why?! If you for some reason feel these options shouldn’t be so visible(?), why not have an ‘advanced’ tab where they are accessible for those who want to change things?!
By requiring people to use filters to tune the plugin, you are needlessly complicating things and overall, making this plugin a far less attractive backup option.
I don’t know of anyone who will be saying ‘Hurrah! now my settings for this plugin are spread all over my installation and I can keep a notebook to remember where those are and what those settings were and can tweak a bunch of snippets any time I need to change things! Happy days!’
Please consider restoring these functions to the plugin admin!
And, yes, thank you for your work on the plugin and for contributing to the WordPress ecosystem. This has been a great plugin, I hope it continues to be a good backup option 🙂

In reply to: [WooCommerce] ‘Add a note to your order’Thanks @riaanknoetze – that’s exactly where I’d expect to find it!
Not appearing there on our site, so I’ll dive into the staging site and start looking at plugin conflicts etc.
Thanks!

In reply to: [Collapse Magic] run shortcodeHi Clinton – Nice, works perfectly!
Thanks!

In reply to: [Collapse Magic] run shortcodeHi Clinton – haven’t managed to debug the form issue mentioned above, but have successfully used the plugin on another site with a table shortcode so that’s handy – thanks!
One thing I have noticed that differs from collapse-o-matic and possibly the majority of other accordion plugins/implementations I’ve used/seen is the title area you click on to open shifts to the bottom of the open content area rather than remaining fixed at the top.
Not sure if changing that to stay at the top is easily made into an option, but it would possibly make for a better user experience given many people would expect that block to remain fixed at the top.
Thanks for your work on the plugin!

In reply to: [Collapse Magic] run shortcodeThanks Clinton!
Did a quick trial and at the moment something is breaking the form that is being inserted by shortcode into the collapsible area. I’m a bit flat out at the moment but when I get a chance will investigate further.
It’s a fairly involved website, so could be any number of things, but whatever it is, it’s not affecting the collapse-o-matic set up (being tested on a secure staging site 🙂
4.1.3 hasn’t resolved this issue on any of the sites I maintain.
Love this plugin – thanks for your work 🙂

In reply to: Exiting Full Screen mode in the block editorHi @t-p thanks for your help to date on this – I’m wondering if you are able to see the full suite of options you mentioned above:
– “Spotlight mode”
– “Fullscreen mode”
– “distraction free”…in the ‘Site editor’, assuming you were referring to the ‘Page editor’ above?
Thanks

In reply to: Exiting Full Screen mode in the block editorSo t-p, I guess the next thing I’m going to ask is – are you seeing all the toggle options in the ‘site editor’ or only in the ‘page editor’?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Exiting Full Screen mode in the block editorOk, I’m taking some of that back 🙂
Not sure if it changed anything, but I hunted down some caching in the hosting and turned it off – but…
If I chose ‘Site editor’ only the two toggles are present (on the Home page, only ‘Site editor’ is available for some reason and I was mainly checking that after adjustments), on other pages where the ‘edit page’ option is also available and I choose that, the full suite of options are showing.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Exiting Full Screen mode in the block editorYep, 1.1
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Exiting Full Screen mode in the block editorUpdate: If I create a new post or page the full suite of toggles *are present* in Options: Top toolbar, Spotlight mode, Fullscreen mode, Distraction free.
But on existing pages, only Top toolbar and Spotlight mode are showing.
That’s on Twenty Twenty-Three, no plugins active, no errors showing, Site Health seems fine. Install is pretty fresh, just default theme content.
