Found this:
How to add an order/orderby option to the blog/post slider/portfolio/masonry grid elementWould still be nice if the above link had worked :-)
I bailed on this. I managed to mock it up by setting fixed widths, it didn’t look that good.
Thanks!
Here are the steps I need to go through to reproduce:
Add new page. In Visual Default editor, Insert Theme Shortcode from wand button, select Content Slider, hit save. Nothing is added.
Do the same thing, but give the new page a title first. That adds the shortcodes.
I’m willing to wager that you can reproduce this. If not, let me know and I’ll get you login credentials.I found it — a hard coded URL buried in the PHP for the child theme. Cursing the web dev contractor yet again :-(
The issue is with serialized data. I don’t want to write my own migration script. I want to store the footer in such a way that it’s not stored as serialzed data.
The footer is set up as 5 columns of text widgets that contain HTML (under Appearance ->Widgets). This data is stored as serialized data in the database under wp_options, widget_text, in the format “a:6:{i:3;a:7:{s:5:”title”;s:0:””;s:4:”text”;s:807:…”
WPengine has a problem copying that serialzed data from one install to another. I need a work-around so the footer HTML doesn’t get lost (and replaced by the default footer) every time I copy the install.
I could hack footer.php to display what we want, but then the footer text will be hardcoded, which has it’s own issues. My question is if there is a better way to accomplish this, without using serialized data in the database.I just tried three different browsers, and got it to work in IE. Fails in Chrome (with adblockers, I didn’t try turning them off) and Firefox (no add ons). However I get garbage if I go back to Chrome or Firefox, both in the dashboard and the resultant pages.
I’d noticed a bug on our site previously where the sole Fontello icon wasn’t appearing. My web host (WPEngine) enabled CORS today and now it is. I have two copies of the production site where CORS isn’t enabled, and where I tried the different browsers above, and it’s failing in these test beds.
This used to work without CORS, I’m not sure when it broke, but I think it’s been broken a while.
I am having a similar problem as gsTom, though my fontello icons are either blank rectanges or look like arabic symbols. I’m trying to replace an existing fontello set so I can add some new ones. I can reproduce the same erroneous symbols if I look at demo.html in the zipped font folder on my local machine, if I unzip the file the fonts look as they should.
Is there something going on with font upload/installation process so they don’t get properly unzipped?
