In reply to: [File Away] Fileup file Size Not workingHard to tell what you mean by not working. If you are getting an error that is helpful. What I gather you might be facing is that you are not able to upload a file larger than 1MB. The setting you have for maxsize=”1″ is telling fileup the max size to upload is 1 and the type is Megabytes. Megabytes or “m” is the default and so does not need to be specified, but shouldn’t cause any problem if that’s what you want.
So in short if you want the maximum upload size higher than 1MB for example 20MB, this would be your shortcode:
[fileup maxsize="20" base="2" makedir="true"]Also, it seems you have a space at the end of your shortcode before the closing bracket (]). I don’t think this causes a problem, but I usually make sure there is no space after the leading bracket ([) and the trailing bracket (]).
And make sure if you copy/paste that you fix any quotes that might look like ” instead of

In reply to: [Smart Slider 3] Problem with z-indexThat’s great to hear. I’m still not quite getting this overlay layer quite right. I used an image object (block) in the canvas and set just the class to slide-overlay. In the second slide you can see the z-index is working now it’s at 2 but it looks like it’s not able to go any further left. The other slides are not showing that image for some reason. I can force it left: -555px but it should be able to reach the left without a work around now right?

In reply to: [Smart Slider 3] Problem with z-indexLaszlo,
Thank you for such a prompt reply. That makes a lot of sense. Though it would be a nice feature to have the slider start at an index something like 100 and increment in 10’s. Then I would be able to overlay an element and use an in between index that would then position my content within the stack at something like 135. This is something I do often even when building indexed arrays so that I can manipulate the indices with greater speed and accuracy than having to merge or loop. Or when setting values for upper and lower limits, I do the same thing to allow room for expansion. Just a suggestion that I think would be a nice feature. But as it seems I’m able to get the results I need with the method you describe, not a high priority and probably more of an edge case.
Thank you again for a great piece of software and excellent support even for the free version. I look forward to utilizing this slider in future projects and hopefully get your pro version and get more creative. Cheers!
I’ll implement your suggestion now and return to resolve the ticket.

In reply to: There has been an error cropping your image@anthonykung
I’m glad your post has helped others. I do think though that you could have demonstrated a little more courtesy to @gappiah. Like he said, volunteers run this board. Putting @gappiah on the defensive for the community, in my opinion, didn’t help anyone. Also, nowhere do I see a ‘promise’ that anyone will help you here.Some might argue that given the level of knowledge you appear to have in your original post, it seems like you must have just overlooked the fact that you would need an image library to manipulate images on the server. Sometimes even just writing down your issue, or talking to another developer can lead you to a solution. Not everyone resolves problems in the same way. This is the human condition, and communication is the catalyst for higher learning. I don’t know maybe you were just in a bad mood, frustrated by the issue you were faced with. I think if you read your post again, you might see my point. If not, that’s ok too.
At any rate, for those that might stumble upon this thread seeking answers to their own problems. Take a look here if you are having some similar issue like something not working and no error seems to be generated.
Remember, not everyone is a front-end developer, a back-end developer, a middleware developer, a designer, a Linux expert, a command line cowboy, a server administrator, a DevOps expert, a cms administrator, a website troubleshooting expert, or a volunteer forum contributor.
But everyone is a person and deserves respect for any assistance they offer to anyone who asks. My hats off to all volunteers and member of this forum. Without you, there would be no support.

In reply to: [Twitget] Version 3: all settings still being reset to "A"Hi,
I work with Tomas and I think I have tracked down the issue to some extent.
I noticed that after the first refresh of twitter data the wp_options table record for twitget_settings in the option_value column, data is getting truncated. Therefore the primary plugin settings are no longer in the table and the data itself is no longer able to be parsed.
It seems in our case this is due to a few emoticon chars in the twitter data.
i.e: 🇺🇸🇺ðŸ‡It appears that the data truncates after these chars. It looks like it’s in the twitter_status method when it fires: update_option(‘twitget_settings’, $options);
I think it’s mostly due to the WP update_option method, as it does a lot of sanitizing and filtering on the data. I have checked the data that is passed into this method and it appears to be fine. But when it get’s to the database it’s not.
My suggestion would be to remove the ‘caching’ of the twitter data from the options table. Perhaps fire up a twitget table to store data, or cache it in a local file. I think it would prevent the plugin settings from suffering any run time issues.
The letter ‘A’ appears to be the first char of the data, and because it is malformed and cannot be parsed it appears in all the fields that rely on the options data, as well as the visual error you see on the UI side.
I’m sure some of this you may already know, but hopefully I have given you some additional info to work with. I may experiment a bit with the code to try to isolate the twitter data. Happy to share all info with you to keep this awesome plugin working!
