Thanks for your reply Laura. To be more clear, I have a custom plugin, and other plugins which add some things like registration pages, widgets, etc. You’re saying the only way these plugins’ additions can be used with Elementor is if they provide shortcodes? There’s no way, for example, to add custom function calls to be run on a template created by Elementor?
Thanks for your help!

In reply to: Finding a theme not from a commercial publisherI guess I don’t understand the confusion with my question. It’s a question about filtering the results on the Theme search, nothing to do with theme author quality or support or anything else. I don’t actually need help with those points, just getting a theme that’s not a “free theme” on an upgrade path.
But apparently there IS a way per Staartmees. Although it’s a workaround, I need a list of authors that aren’t commercial publishers.
I’m thinking this is a filter that probably should be on the Themes search options. I have cases where I need a commercial theme and can’t use an indie one, and then there’s this case where I need an indie theme and can’t use a commercial one. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has encountered these requirements before. I’ll post a suggestion to that effect.
Thank you everyone for your replies, marking as resolved.

In reply to: Finding a theme not from a commercial publisherThanks but why are all these comments off-topic? I am asking for a way to find themes not from a commercial source in the Themes listing on ww.wp.xz.cn. I have no other question.
Thank you for your answer, I appreciate your time.
Certainly. Each “set” is a set of Select dropdown options configured on the Comment Form. There are two sets (two Select dropdowns), and the ideal presentation is for the Select dropdown for Set 1 to be visible only at the 1st comment level and the Select dropdown for Set 2 to be visible only at the Reply level.
I’ve checked the options I thought were appropriate (see my post above), but the author sees the Reply options up at the 1st comment level, and that’s confusing to them.
I have screenshots, if you would like them sent to you, just let me know the email address and what to put in the subject line so it will get to the right person.
Thank you very much for your help!
Hi, thanks for your quick reply! This turns out to be an ad-blocker issue. Where are you pulling those icons from? If their assets are pulled in from their respective sites, ad-blockers will trigger on them.
Fyi, even with all ad-blocking disabled, the Facebook icon does not show on comments when the Share button is clicked. It’s not an issue for our site, we’ll be using an Invite system exclusively, but I thought it worth mentioning to you.
Edit: I’m using Ad-Block Plus for Chrome with the following default lists:
× EasyList
× Malware Domains
× Fanboy’s Social Blocking List
× EasyPrivacy- This reply was modified 8 years, 10 months ago by dains.
Hi Eric. Thanks very much for this! I’m sure others have experienced the same need so maybe the code can be reused in a point patch?
Thanks again for making this effort!
Best regards,
David
Hi Eric. No, I mean the page they were viewing when they clicked the Log In (or Register) button. They were looking at something and decided to log in (or register), but then they are forcibly navigated to the Log In page and then left on their Profile page at the end of the process. This process is interrupting their activities exactly when they need to take a further step by registering or logging in (deciding to pledge to a campaign, for example).
The best answer (and the one in very common usage) is to return them to the page they were viewing when they clicked the Log In (or Register) button, but there doesn’t seem to be a shortcode parameter for that. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Just to clarify, I’m aware of the shortcode parameter to redirect after login. But there isn’t one to redirect to the page the user was on when they clicked the login button. Nor is there a way to tell it not to redirect at all, so that I can use it in a modal window then close the window and refresh the page the user is on afterward.
Thanks for your response. Is a network connection needed for the Settings page to be displayed? The computer has a network connection and the local server is able to update WordPress and download themes and plugins via WordPress’ back end, so it is configured to allow outbound/inbound traffic.
The other CM plugins’ settings pages work fine. I used the default Twenty-Seventeen theme but haven’t tried disabling all the other plugins to test yet.- This reply was modified 9 years ago by dains.

In reply to: [Posts 2 Posts] Is this plugin still actively developed?I’m glad to see an update! One of the features (the To – From attributes) was suggested by a project I was engaged in, and I still have plans for this functionality in my current project, so I am happy to know someone is still involved with it.
Also, if I can make my current project a commercial success I’ll be happy to sponsor support for any and all plugins in use, including this one, so there’s that hope for the future too.
My thanks to whoever is keeping the plugin up to date!
We can disregard $current_level, it’s just to put a numbered class on the level being displayed for ease of tracking / troubleshooting. I intend all of the classes to be created from the custom fields, so that will be removed.
I would try GetPostsQuery and see if I can pull out the default field, but it makes the operation of the entire view completely dependent on your plugin, and guess what web application has instituted automatic updates with no Off button which can break plugins without you knowing? So I’m a little leery of doing that.
I’ll futz around some more and see if I can get something to work. Please consider the suggestion to make the get_ and print_ functions take a post ID parameter, and thanks for the help!
David
Thank you fps! But I had already tried all four of the methods recommended in your very nice documentation wiki.
This is probably redundant by now, but I’ve pastebinned the pertinent parts of the loop to show exactly what is going on.
As you can see in there, if I want any information to be shown for the post currently being processed by the secondary loop, I have to reference the child object.
As you said, these functions are only for single-post displays, and they are indeed working in the very same template, for the page which owns said template. But if I can’t send them an ID or otherwise reference the child object in the secondary loop, I guess they’re not going to work in the required context.
If I could submit a feature request, it would simply be that these functions could accept a post ID, so that they’d be outside-the-WP-Loop capable.
One thought does come to mind – would using setup_postdata within this kind of loop enable CCTM’s functionality? I know it requires a global post variable, but that’s a pretty common sacrifice made nowadays. The performance hit is a greater sacrifice to me, but if it works for the purpose, I can live with it.
Thanks again for your help!

Hi, I have the exact same question, with a touch more detail. I’m showing a list of pages and trying to display the current default value for a CCTM dropdown custom field in a loop. I am using get_posts for the query and a basic foreach loop to display the list.
I can normally display anything I want using a thispost variable -> ID for functions (ex. get_category) or echoing / using apply_filters on the thispost variable -> field of the post object.
However, the single-post nature of the get_custom_field/print_custom_field functions make it impossible to pass it the ID of the post I want, and while I can retrieve the custom field value with normal WP functions, I need a way to specify the default value set with the CCTM dropdown.
Do you know of any way this can be done?
Also, thanks for making such a strong plugin for WP. I think <100,000 downloads shows that WP has a lot of potential for uses beyond basic blogging – it just needs to realize it 🙂
Thanks for any help!

Thank you Tareq! I’m sorry I didn’t respond sooner, must have forgotten to check the box to email me on replies. I tried forcing the size via CSS, must not have gotten it right (CSS is my second-worst skill). I’ll look in the wpuf-add-post.php file for it.
I won’t be using WP for a work CMS project (they went ASP.NET /shudder) so we won’t be purchasing any WP plugins. But when I get my own online project up and running, WP Front End Pro will be on my list 🙂
Thanks again!
David
