In reply to: [Neve] Hamburger menu quit workingI’m using the latest version of Neve. No child theme. As this is a test site, if you need more access to it, that can be arranged.

In reply to: [Neve] Hamburger menu quit workingOkay. You can see the problem at https://wga.torknado.com/
While the calendar is now showing events again, as shown by this screenshot, version 7.2.1 does not seem to be production ready.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] False positive on some “tel:” linksI haven’t responded because you only acknowledged the problem and didn’t ask for any further information. I don’t consider the case closed until the problem is fixed.
After following Brent’s steps, the next scheduled scan sent email with a different error message, as follows (from the log):
The scan failed to properly scan the site.
Error Message: Unable to determine if the scan target is allowed: Missing scan URL.
Error Code:site_verification_failed.missing_urlArray code => site_verification_failed.missing_url
data =>Array
url => https://freelittleartgalleries.artIncidentally, if you want people to “provide the following details” to support, it would be courteous to design the page in such a way that it was actually possible to copy the text to the clipboard.
This really seems to me like something was released without adequate testing. If we’re going to have to follow a process this involved to fix the problem on what, as others have reported, might be hundreds of sites, this will not result in a bunch of glowing reviews.
As the person who raised this support topic, I have to say that I greatly appreciate people chiming in that they are having the exact same problem on what seems to have added up to at least thousands of websites so far. It lets me know that this is not because I f***ed something up, and it raises the profile of the issue with the plugin developer. It’s actually not beneficial to have dozens of people reporting the same issue in separate tickets as opposed to having a central location — the original ticket — where people can share information about the issue and follow to know when it’s fixed. It seems inefficient to have every one of what is probably every user of this plugin do the work of collecting information to separately report the exact same issue, and I don’t want to tie up the developers’ time responding to a thousand separate tickets when I’d rather they be spending that time addressing issues in their code.
It was not resolved. I used the Health Check plugin as you suggested to disable all plugins except yours, and am using Twenty Twenty-five theme. The “Campaign saving” animation still just keeps going and my changes are not recorded — despite that I’d selected Save. Here’s the content I’m trying to save, from the code view:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>You can {{campaign.posts}}view this newsletter on the website: {{post.link}}</p>
<p>{{post.full}}</p>
{{/campaign.posts}}<hr />
<p>You received this email because you signed up for newsletter mailings on <a href="https://uulala.org">uulala.org</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>I thought to simplify it by removing the stylesheet information, just to see if that was associated with the error. Ultimately, of course, I want to add the stylesheet information back in.
You said you were looking into a solution for the multiple notifications problem, and you didn’t report back here on your findings, so I don’t consider the issue closed. Let’s leave it open until you either address the problem or can state that you don’t intend to fix it. Thanks.
Yes, I’m aware the editing view is not the same as the way the gallery displays the images on the site. The gallery works okay. But isn’t the editing interface also important? Why shouldn’t it display images at the correct ratio? And how hard can that possibly be to accomplish? It’s just a little CSS, right?
My goal here is to set up my feed so people can follow either on Mastodon or Bsky — I don’t want to have to choose just one. Are you telling me this isn’t possible? Because it seems to be working that way right now. But maybe there’s something not working that I don’t know how to look for. Again, I’m not an expert in this. Virtually nobody is an expert in this, and there needs to be an easy way for the gazillions of non-expert website owners to set their feeds up correctly.
If there is some guide for configuring things to make it all work the way I described, I would really like a link. Or if there is no such thing, let’s talk so I can get the details from you, and I’ll write it. Or perhaps we need a change to the plugin, or an auxiliary plugin?

In reply to: Query Loop output as listThanks for your reply, threadi. I generally would want to have the page/post titles be links to the page or post, yes. The purpose is navigation to related information.
The Latest Posts block addresses a small subset of the use cases. Notably, it only supports lists of posts, not pages, and the selection criteria and options even for posts is pretty limited. For instance I can’t select posts by tag, can’t sort by menu order, can’t specify links to open in new tab, have no paging controls (or options to control the paging controls if there were any).
So the Query Loop is much closer to giving me what I need — it really only needs to have the ability to format the results as a list rather than an outline with headers. Some custom CSS is acceptable, though as I said, a lot of users would really prefer to avoid even that.
A couple sample use cases:
- The list of child pages in the body of Start your own FLAG! – Free Little Art Galleries page.
- In the body of a page about how to decorate your tiny art gallery, I want to embed a list of the blog posts that discuss how to create or acquire various types of tiny furniture, from the furniture tag taxonomy.
- A small publisher with a website that uses a custom page type such as that associated with the Mooberry Book manager plugin, might like to write author bio pages and at the end a bullet list of all titles associated with that author (with links to the book page).

In reply to: Query Loop output as listThank you, t-p, but no, those don’t address the real problem. What I need is flexibility in applying the tools that come with WordPress. Most website owners are not software developers, and they absolutely need solutions that don’t involve writing code in PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, or in many cases even CSS. I don’t understand why Query Loop doesn’t support this formatting option. Maybe I’m atypical, but I find I need lists of posts and pages all the time, for use in widgets and to include on-site resources in page bodies (e.g. list of child pages of the current page, like a table of contents of the hierarchy).
I can find plugins that do this, but it seems like a very basic thing that should be included and EASY to do in the core platform, without cracking the virtual spine of a coding manual.
