Sorry, I did see an x button at the top right… hit my blind spot I guess.
It is annoying to see a pop-up on unrelated pages however… it becomes a nuisance when it becomes a practice with plugins. Spread the word.

In reply to: Page content editor appears then disappearsI discovered somebody set one of the ACF fields to hide the content editor but unknowingly applied it to all pages and posts.

In reply to: Getting email notifications for threads I didn’t startI didn’t know I was subscribed to it… seems like another thing MaxGalleria is doing to try to get my attention when they already had it and I wasn’t asking for other notifications.

In reply to: [Media Library Folders] IssuesI don’t need notifications for posts I don’t make, nor am I seeing how to disable them.
The checkbox “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” is already unchecked.
I seem to be getting emailed for each new post or review here.

In reply to: [Media Library Folders] Asks for rating on every admin pageMy “useless” comment came from the fact that the plugin is advertised as having folders yet those folders only exist in the Media section not while choosing or uploading an image or file in a Page or Post.
The Pro version however does that, but that’s not what advertised for a review in our wp-admin on almost every page there.
When we get the Pro version, feel free to spam us there as well and I’ll also leave an accurate review for it.

In reply to: [Media Library Folders] Asks for rating on every admin pageI thought I was leaving a review based on an obnoxious prompt on every page of wp-admin, not a forum post.

In reply to: Custom post type posts not showing in listI couldn’t figure out why it was showing blank but I found some alternate code on StackOverflow that worked with some tweaks.

In reply to: Browser not fetching new HTML tagAndrew, let me better explain:
1. Typical scenario: A previously-downloaded and utilized HTML script tag with a src attribute (downloaded the very first time a user hits the webpage) runs the src URL JavaScript properly. Then on the server that JavaScript file gets some code changes, the user hits the site again, sees the tag URL is the same and just uses the cache code. Appending a random number or timestamp to the tag’s URL will force the browser to re-download the script and run the updated code.
2. Our scenario: The HTML script tag was never loaded on the user’s browser’s initial page load because it didn’t exist at the time. The user hits the page again, but this time even though the new tag has been added on the server, it’s not fetched or added by the browser.
How would adding a random number or timestamp to the src URL force the browser to refresh something it never downloaded initially? The whole point of adding that number is so the browser sees a different URL than before so it things it’s downloading a new file; but if it never sees the tag to begin with (or on another page hit), and is just loading whatever HTML was in its cache at the time, it will not download the tag the first time.
If I’m not understanding how browsers fetch newly-added tags, please explain how adding a number to the end of the tag’s src URL forces it to do that.
My only solution to them was tell them to hit Ctrl+F5 to force the browser to fetch ALL of the current HTML, including new tags.

In reply to: Browser not fetching new HTML tagThis isn’t a solution when we push a new tag to the live site… “Hey everyone on the internet who hasn’t visited our site since this new tag was added, clear your cache and cookies beforehand by hard refreshing!” (also hard-refreshing doesn’t clear your cache and cookies, it only forces your browser to re-download the source code).
The problem is users may not get the new tag… we want to ensure they do (remember this is a NEW tag their browser has never seen or downloaded).
Andrew, we added the script tag through a plugin that has a field to input the tag… it merely puts the tag in the head tag. If we didn’t use the plugin, then I would have written source code to enter the tag, but we don’t want to have to edit source code to add/remove/edit that, we want it editable through the plugin.

In reply to: Pages with Posts by categories and tags?OK creating custom templates for each page is easy enough, but I’m not seeing how to attach posts by category to each page.
So if I have two pages, I want the first page to show posts from the first category, and the second page to show posts from the second category.
The URLs need to look like site/cat1 and site/cat2
