    Actually, was forced to go through entering the feed again. But if you go to settings and view the feed, either personal or business, it only enables it for 7 days with which you have to refresh again and log into instagram each time. 7 Days? geez maybe 6 mo. but 7 days? Way too much to do for a busy client. So looking for another plugin.

    Found a solution… on this topic:
    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/thanks-for-the-9-years-but-now-i-have-to-switch?replies=9#post-8807819

    Thanks to Barnez for the solution/workaround. I had changed the plugin /mail.php to mail from wp_mail and took out $attachments. Then wasn’t sending info from some of the larger forms. Had the ability to add the Custom function on my theme (if not you could add a custom functions plugin). Put everything back to “normal” and then added Barnez’s suggestion with the add_filter:

    add_filter( ‘wpcf7_validate_configuration’, ‘__return_false’ );

    Thanks so much- Worked for me! Crazy thing to try and solve.

    UPDATE:
    I changed the ../mail.php from return wp_mail(… to return mail(.. to see if that helped. Not sure that it did.

    But on one of the forms with tables, none of the data was submitted in the email. Everything is blank but the labels are there – no data from the form. This form is also the one trying to send Mail2 to another email. Not good.

    I am using Opportune. Haven’t yet made it a child theme as wanting to make sure this works as is. <G> Just the free edition.

    I would agree with you Linda. My clients can’t have this either! What plugin did you decide to go with. I want to keep it easy for them. Some of the forms require more than they are capable of understanding. <G>

    You can try adding the plugin from wordpress – WP-Add-Custom-CSS to add revisions to the theme without adding a child theme. Then select the plugin in the left margin and add the following line.
    .entry-header { margin-top: -1.5em; }

    Depending on how much less you want the page to come up. You can play with the percentage of ‘negative’ margin. See if it works.

    update – inactivated several plugins. Does not like the image widget plugin nor the enhanced text widget plugin. will accept some html code in the normal wordpress core text widget.

    update – investigating a little more – seems the text widget will not accept html tag codes. so be careful how you put code in a text widget.

    Seems whenever you add a plain ‘Text’ type widget to the main widget area it adds an space to the right of the main content area. You don’t even have to put anything in it. Just putting the widget in the main widget area screws up the format for the whole website. So if you figure that one out it might help. I thought it was some sort of text I’d put in but it isn’t. An image widget works but a text widget doesn’t and these are the widgets that come with the core wordpress software. yes my wordpress is up-to-date. <G>

    I too am wondering if compliant. I have a couple of clients using this. End of September is getting close. Here is what I have found so far. The actual link you would go to will be changed. From http://www.paypal.com/data-added to ipnpb.paypal.com/data-sent. So all the code that references http://www.paypal.com would have to change.
    check out the bottom chart where is gives dates for changes.

    Sorry, this theme is the flat-boat theme with a default clean installation. Enabled a few plugins and these should not create a problem. Pages for the most part don’t even have anything on them. So no script.
    Installed and active plugins:
    All-in-one-SEO, Contact Form 7, One-Click Chil Theme, Wp-Edit and WP-Editor

    I have since gone to the simple Flat Theme and sidebar color works great. There isn’t any place to change the CSS in case you wanted to try it to see if it makes a difference.

    Yes I have tried CKeditor, advanced code editor, html editor syntax highlighter, insert html snippet, preserved html editor markup, visual editor custom buttons, TinyMCE and TinyMCE Advanced Professsional Formats and Styles, and a few more. This isn’t for one website either this is for twelve different websites. Unless you have a few I haven’t tried – I’m willing. I’ve just noticed that this new version threw people for a loop so to speak.

    As the guy said on another support post this new editor was stripping out code he put in for mouseover he has on 3000 images. This it should NOT be doing if it worked before.

    Yes tables are ‘passe’, unfortunately with emailing programs you do still use tables as you are limited because of platforms and browsers. Also, clients understand tables and they can use them. They don’t know how to use CSS and you can’t add CSS through the editor unless you are going into text editor/code. Don’t get me wrong… CSS is fine I really like it – I use it mostly on my own website just not on clients.

    Just trying to figure out the best way to rework on the websites I now have to fix. That’s all.

    Don’t try to add HTML markup & them switch to the Visual editor. That’s the fastest way to remove some (or all) of your markup. Pick a tab and stick to it.

    So after we program it, the client then can be able to update the content and they don’t write code. Also another programer comes in and views it in visual mode. When you have more than one person working on a site that is a problem. Also until someone gets a good html editor after this upgrade it is a problem. This was supposed to make life easier and it isn’t – its like 3 steps back on the editor.

    An I ask why you have paragraph markup in tables in the first place?

    Because t keeps sections together and is easily translated to email programs which use tables. I may also want a list of links in a column associated with 1 item. Tables aren’t just for numbers or shouldn’t be.

    I too have spent a week working to figure this out. I have downloaded the Front End extend, CSV Loader, CartPress pay by mail/phone, custom order ID, discounts, Price by customer, USPS shipping. Here is what I have found.
    1. Great site if you only want physical products or services and NOT downloads and will use Paypal or authorize.net (yes I did get that working).
    2. Downloads portion doesn’t work.
    3. No way to delete orders – never shows up on the screens.
    4. No way to import or upload existing customers from an existing store. Great if you are starting from scratch. Then there is no way to download your customer list once you have them.
    5. Not an easy way to upload your downloads. yes you define your location in the backend but it changes the name of your files and you have no way to identify them unless you look at the product itself or go into the database.
    6. The documentation leaves a lot to be desired. On the forum page several times I couldn’t even load past the second page as I kept getting errors.

    Hey if they can’t even get their own website squared away… then what makes you think their software is also squared away and ready to use.

    Frustrated enough to have look elsewhere… again. I have tried many other ones. WooCommerce (to expensive for the addons, changed their policies lately too to charge very year instead of lifetime of product), Marketpress, Ready! Commerce, ecommerce, WPStoreCart, and a few others. What I’d really like is a way to have payments (Paypal and Authorize.net), Shipping (live USPS, UPS, FedEx all internationally), sell Downloads, Products & services, an easy interface to make it look like my website (also a WordPressCMS site) AND make it easy for my clients to manage and customers to get or look at their orders. That shouldn’t be too much to ask for an ecommerce for a small shop.
