Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can’t add JPG image to my media libraryI have a friend who is an experienced WordPress user and he has fixed the problem by inserting the following code at the bottom of my functions.php file…
function use_gd_editor($array) {
return array( ‘WP_Image_Editor_GD’, );
}
add_filter( ‘wp_image_editors’, ‘use_gd_editor’ );
This, he says, swaps the image editors over. He says the bug is probably caused by my server’s PHP version which may not be compatible with the new WP yet. He says this can happen with budget shared hosting as they try to keep it as vanilla as possible. He says hopefully WP or my hosting company will issue a fix so I can remove the code. Upload times may be a bit longer for very large images.
I hope this helps those others who have the same problem.

In reply to: Log-in on iphone or tablet works with one site but not with anotherSorry for the delay – I don’t appear to have received email notifications of your reply.

Thankyou codepeople! Great response! We disabled optimization and it fixed the problem. Now looking at how to disable the optimizer more selectively but that’s someone else’s problem.
Regarding the other issue, I wanted to include the total subscription cost from our calculator in a membership application form produced using Ninja Forms. Or simply place that total on another web page. Any suggestions?
Kind regards, Mike
Unfortunately Calculated Fields Form no longer works in my website. My associate thinks it may be to do with the upgrade to version 5 wordpress. I have set script load to Classic as suggested but no change.
https://www.crowthornetennisclub.co.uk/tennis-club-membership/our-subscription-costs/ is the page which doesn’t work. Not much to see as the form just doesn’t even appear. As you can see from an earlier review – actually much earlier than it suggests, probably first half of 2018 – it used to work well and I was asking a question (not answered) about how to reference a field in another plugin.
Theme is GeneratePress with some child additions.

In reply to: [Admin Menu Post List] Pop-up stays in place in 5.0.1Thank you for the advice, Eliot. If you could show me the best way of initiating a support ticket, I will do that in future.
Meanwhile, I have further information and am now on WP 5.0.2. With either Posts or Pages checked in Settings, the plugin appears to work but with both checked, one of the lists is in a column alongside the Dashboard main menu, thereby obscuring the content. It may be due to the large number of posts and pages I have and, in any case, this large number means that having a permanent list in the dashboard menu is inconvenient. Therefore, I will not be using the plugin. I had anticipated that the post or page meny would be transient, appearing as the cursor moved onto Pages or Posts and disappearing when it moved off the list.

In reply to: [RootsPersona] Can’t add imageI’m having the same problem as Clive. I’m new to rootspersona and also fairly new to wordpress. I can’t add a photograph to a person page. I click on Edit Person at the bottom of the page and a page comes up with Save Cancel New buttons at the top left, a boy sillhouette under those, Select Privacy Setting radio buttons (set to default) and a Picture Gallery of 6 more boy sillhouettes at the bottom. I don’t know what the picture gallery is for.
I click on Browse under the top sillhouette and click on Media Library, where I previously loaded by image, and see a list of images, each of which has a Show link on the right. If I click on that I get a load of options related to that image and the only button that makes any sense to me is Insert into Post. However, that removes the image dialog and does nothing.
Clive refers to a step he must have missed. Any chance of helping me out on this one?
The page is https://www.mikas.co.uk/wp/rootspersona-tree-2/kent-sydney-malcolm-stewart/ but it’s the same on all such pages.
Thanks,
Mike
