Hi Doha,

Thanks for using UFW plugin. You have a nice website!

Looking at the screenshot shared, the “widget box” will be shown only on the page with ID 2053.

I’m not sure why it is not placed. There could be multiple reasons.

Could you please create a temporary admin account and share it’s username and password with me in the contact form below?

Contact

Apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi,

One way to execute the shortcode is analyze the theme and execute the shortcode where the description is printed.

Other way would be to look for functions like below.
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/367511/adding-shortcode-to-product-short-description

Can you please paste the code as in the link above in theme functions.php file and see if it works?

Thanks,

Hi pptech,

Shortcodes are executed by WordPress themes on the specific area as required.

Looks like the area you have mentioned is not executed for shortcodes.

This applies to any shortcode.
Can you please add a different shortcode like [gallery] and see if it executes?

I tried inserting shortcodes in content in “twenty-twenty” theme and it got executed. The child theme which you developed seems to be missing that.

Please confirm the same as requested above. I’ll suggest next steps as per that.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Decsites,

Super RSS Reader follows the same process like any other widget in WordPress. There is no intention to be cryptic here.

Widgets have UI to config the settings and shortcodes must be written since they can be inserted anywhere on your website (even in places where UI can’t come in)

Regarding shortcodes, I already mentioned it in my reply.

If shortcode, then you must build the shortcode using the example as mentioned in “Settings > super rss reader” page. It is quite simple and intuitive.

Regarding ” i STILL no way to change the appearance/view eg Grid”

Can you please share more details on what appearance you want to change? I can help with CSS if required. Also, can you please share your website URL where the reader is inserted.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Decsites,

No worries. I can guide you accordingly.

Please let me know where do you plan to insert the RSS reader?

1) On the sidebar/footer using “widgets”
2) Inline to any content using “shortcodes”

if widgets, you can drag and drop the widget and configure the settings.

If shortcode, then you must build the shortcode using the example as mentioned in “Settings > super rss reader” page. It is quite simple and intuitive.

Feel free to let me know how you would like to proceed, I can help further.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Romeo,

I would like to understand how you want to use the custom fields which are added to the shortcoder.

The option of custom fields for posts make sense since while displaying a post, users can include additional metadata to display in that post. I’m not sure if this will work for shortcoder. Could you please share any example usecase?

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Athannor,

Thanks for using Announcer plugin. Happy that you like it.

I too thought that of that feature. The implementation was expensive as there would be demand for more granular configurations/selections. I’ll add this to my todo list and revist this in the future.

Meantime, you can use the “custom” display option to launch the announcement bar by writing your own logic in javascript – https://www.aakashweb.com/docs/announcer/js-api/ If you are comfortable with basic scripting you can look for resources and implement the same.

Thanks,

Hi Steven,

Glad your figured it out. The content users insert their widget is untouched by UFW. So if it can work outside UFW, then it will work with UFW too.

Hi Kaioliver,

Sorry for the late reply.

I hope you have configured the github username and authentication settings as in this link – https://www.aakashweb.com/docs/git-it-write/getting-started/#configuring-authentication-settings

In Github, can you please go to repository -> settings -> webhooks -> recent delieveries and see if the commit action was posted to your website?

You can also click to see the full details. Sometimes you would see timeout error which is fine.

Please let me know more on this further.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Shasin,

I Understand. Let me see if there is any option or workaround to enable this.

Please give me time till Sunday. If there is no solution then I can arrange a refund.

Thanks,

Hi Shasin,

I guess you are talking about super RSS Reader plugin.

Unfortunately, SRR supports only classic widgets in the free version. In the PRO version however we can use shortcodes to insert the RSS reader.

I’m not sure how to help in this case. Only way is to check with Avada theme author and see if any exception can be made.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Dan,

Right now it is not possible to include a “static content” below a “scrolling content”. There were no requirements for it as per my research.

Now that you have asked, I’ll see if this is really required.

For now I’ll see if I can give you some workaround.
Can you please share the page URL where the announcement is active?

Thanks,
Aakash

[Aakash Chakravarthy]

Hi there,

SRR is mostly WP independent. Things like tab are not related to WP. I’m currently planning for a release in this month which I’ll test in the latest WP version.

You can upgrade the plugin and use if not done already.

Regarding the tab issue, please share the page URL. I’ll look at it and find the cause of the issue.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Tim,

I see this is kind of expected. I’ll reduce the default margin in the next version of the plugin so it does not look like bloated.

For now, can you please add below CSS to your site?

@media only screen and (max-width: 800px) {
    .ancr-lo-same_row .ancr-btn-wrap{
        margin: 0.25em 0;
    }
}

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Sue,

I understand the issue. This happens when the theme does not “execute” the shortcode. WordPress will run the shortcode only when a function like do_shortcode is called on the content.

In this case, I see the “post excerpt” is not checked for shortcodes.

You will see this behavior for any shortcode.

Can you please send an email/raise a support ticket with the theme developer and ask them to execute shortcodes?

If in case, the theme developer does not respond, please share create a temp admin user account and share it’s detail with me in the contact form below. I’ll login to the site and see if I can make any changes to the theme/see if there is any workaround.

Contact

Thanks,
Aakash
