 * Hi,
    A small follow-up just in case people are still struggling with tracking
   pixel: Tracking pixel won’t work if you put wp-config outside the root directory(
   into the root’s parent directory). That’s unfortunate because this the safest
   place. I hope the developer may address this issue in a future update.

 * The KNEWS_CUSTOM_SPEED constant definitely doesn’t work for me.
    Any value defined
   here sets the default speed to `2 test mode` in the admin.
 * However, I found the source of the tracking pixel problem thanks to your last
   post:
    “simply define it on wp-config.php on root”, you wrote. “on root”. Wordpress
   installation allows, and even recommends, that we put the wp-config.php OUTSIDE
   the root folder. Into the root’s parent folder if we have permissions to do so.
   I do that because it’s far more secure and anybody being allowed to do so should.
   Bringing the wp-config back to the www folder bring back the kitten but I won’t
   do it. I’d rather keep the wp-config at the top level. Do you think you can change
   that?

 * Hi Carles,
    The `can't read`and `unsubscribe` problems are solved since it was
   my fault (I messed up with the `%` shortcode). As for the tracking pixel issue,
   it worked once, but now it’s gone. I guess an htaccess rule prevents it to work
   properly. I’m reluctant to work on it right now know because the website is in
   production.
 * 1) What I’d like now, is to get a valid `KNEWS_CUSTOM_SPEED` constant.
    But when
   I define it, it’s just ignored. 2) As I wrote earlier, the `subscribe` form on
   your website is totally broken for me. It’s a shame for a website dedicated to
   a newsletter plugin and a bad signal for customers.
 * Thanks for your time,
    Fabrice

 * Hi again,
    I didn’t noticed there was an update until you mentioned it (?) I 
   just updated now, removed the silly wp-conf but still no luck with tracking pixel.
   Frankly, I’m not willing to put much effort with this plugin. At least it works
   for the most part and I’m very doubtful it is reliable at this point. 1) No kitten.
   2) No change log for 1.7.7 update. 3) Stupid forgotten php file. 4) The first
   custom constant I tried to configure (following the examples [here](http://knewsplugin.com/the-knews-config-constants/)
   is just totally ignored. 5) Did you try the ‘subscribe’ form on their website?
   Lot-of-fun experience for me (tested with Firefox 40 and Safari 8 on Mac).
 * Thanks,
    Fabrice

 * Hi,
    Thank you for your help. Actually I found your post shortly after I posted
   this. Removing the forgotten wp-config file did solved the problem.
 * Ironically, now it’s broken again for me.
    No idea on what’s happening.
 * Thank you anyway…

 * Well that was rather simple actually.
    The modifications bellow allows for writing
   and reading string data in place of serialized array if the array contains only
   one child (`dropdown`)
 * mf_post.php, line 278:
 *     ```
       // Adding field value meta data
       add_post_meta($post_id, "{$field_name}", $value);
       ```
   
 * becomes:
 *     ```
       // Adding field value meta data
       if(is_array($value) && count($value) == 1){
         add_post_meta($post_id, "{$field_name}", implode('',$value));
       }else{
         add_post_meta($post_id, "{$field_name}", $value);
       }
       ```
   
 * mf_front_end.php, line 481:
 *     ```
       case 'dropdown':
         $result = ($options['multiple'])? $value[0] : $value ;
         break;
       ```
   
 * becomes:
 *     ```
       case 'dropdown':
       $result = ($options['multiple'] == '0' && is_array($value))? $value[0] : $value ;
       break;
       ```
   
 * This doesn’t break previously entered data and update new/modified to the new
   format.

    I tried it but how do you spot your CPs in the admin panel (without 
   title, that is)?

 * Yep. WordPress doesn’t allows you to ditch the title. This info is needed to 
   construct the slug, view your posts in list, as well as retrieving the post by
   name or title; you have to keep it and I’d suggest you find a good use for it.
   
   However, the editor can be disabled.

 * And what did you do to try to find the cause of the problem?
    Please provide 
   at least some details on your setup. The only thing I know so far, is that a 
   function in my code was preventing the correct execution of the ajax part of 
   the wysija plugin.

 * Also, if your theme structure allows it, make a test with a default theme (like
   TwentyTwelve).
