    Hi Alysha,

    This not something you can do with SplashGate, and unfortunately not likely to become an option. It seems tricky to accomplish what you’re suggesting, because a site can only read cookies from it’s own domain. So you wouldn’t be able to see what cookie has been set for newelementmarketing from the creditdoesmatter site, or the other way around.

    I think you’d have to frankenstein some of the SplashGate js code into the headers of both sites, because they’d both have to have the right info to know if they need to redirect to the other one. And you’d have to really hack the script on the credit domain so that there is some mechanism by which a user can ‘opt in’ for it. SplashGate doesn’t have this power – it’s either active for all visitors or it isn’t.

    I’m sorry, but I don’t think SplashGate is the right tool for this job.

    Hi Eddie. There can be incompatibility with other jquery or fancybox scripts. Can you provide any detail? Example link, or even just the name of some of the other plugins you’re using? We’ll try to resolve the issue.

    AlyMarie, one possible explanation for what you’re experiencing may be that once a visitor receives a cookie that does not expire for a set period of time, they’ll never receive the next cookie, with the shorter expiration, until their original cookie first expires. So if someone gets a cookie that says don’t check back for 3 days, it won’t matter (to that visitor) that you changed the recurrence to 1 hour, until after that 3 days is up.

    It sounds like the ideal behavior would be that anytime you adjust the recurrence, all visitor’s cookies should immediately be trashed, and they should get a new cookie with the new expiry period. Does that sound right? One drawback to that would be that a visitor only just arriving would then immediately get another splash if you happened to have just changed the recurrence. Perhaps we could add a feature to immediately invalidate all existing cookies whenever you want to cut over to a new recurrence right away. Please respond with your thoughts! We’ll try to address this in the next update.

    Opsec, very sorry for your troubles and thanks for the feedback. Currently the problem you describe about not seeing the settings boxes correctly in 3.4.1 has not been resolved in SplashGate v1.1, but the the manual correction AlyMarie describes should fix it for you. We are aware of this bug and will patch it up asap.

    Hello, w3weaver. Can you please provide more detail? Can you provide a link?

    Version 1.1, just added, has some bug fixes that may solve your issue. In particular, SplashGate had not been working for sites not using clean urls – that problem should be fixed now.

    You’re on the right track. That code gives you all the ‘my_custom_field’ values for each custom field, so if you combine the two, you’ll can list all the values of all the custom fields for a post:

    $custom_field_keys = get_post_custom_keys();
    foreach ( $custom_field_keys as $key => $value ) {
    	$valuet = trim($value);
    
    	if ( '_' == $valuet{0} )
    		continue;
    		echo $value . ":<br />";
    		echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $value, true) . "<br/><br/>";
    }

    72 dpi is right. Really there isn’t a ‘right’ size, but optimizing your graphics will help your site load much faster, which is really nice.

    Generally, I would consider 200 KB a pretty big graphic. Your image is 2.85 MB which is about 2,900 KB – so to my personal tastes, you’d need drastic reduction. I would recommend first cropping the image in 1/2 vertically, so the dimensions are 2,000×1,000 instead of 2kx2k. Then if you have Photoshop you could export for web as JPEG at about 50% quality. That gets you down to something approaching 6% the original size, which is awesome – but you do lose some quality. If you treat the top and bottom vertical edges so that they fade into a fuzzy turquoise (add some noise maybe) it would reduce the visible tiling between repeats.

    There are other tricks you can use to keep the quality higher, like breaking the image into left and right sides, thereby removing the section of graphic that still has to load but gets covered by the web content area, but that would require modifications to your theme. Hope that’s helpful! Good luck!

    Joy, I think the background you are talking about the textured blue image with the orange flourishes? I tested in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari and it does go all the way down for me. However, it takes a very long time to load, which I think might be related to what you’re experiencing.

    Your background image is nearly 3MB, which, generally speaking, is extremely large. It might solve your problem to dramatically reduce the file size, or consider altering the dimensions so that a much smaller graphic is tiled. I can try to help you optimize the graphic if you like.

    Assuming your fresh install is WP 3.2.1, check out /wp-includes/class-http.php, line 86:

    'timeout' => apply_filters( 'http_request_timeout', 5),

    Try changing the 5 to a 30, and report back. Also, check out this thread:

    SplashGate deregisters the WordPress jquery library and reregisters this jquery library:
    http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js

    My guess is that’s conflicting with your slider. If you can provide a link to your page, or at least the name of the Javascript slider you are using, that would help me investigate.
