So basically we are at the end of the road?

The plugin cant be used by me.

Mr Papa; any thoughts?

I talked to @mr-papa earlier before he set out for the day and he said he will think about any alternative method that could be tried and he will be around later,

But actually my suggestion of bringing in the theme authors to try and help is a perfectly valid route to go down as it is – after all – their use of an unsupported and corrosive library that is at fault.

There is only one other thing that I myself would suggest trying. In the code you changed the last parameter is set to the word true. It would be worth setting it to false to see if that makes any difference.

Yellowfish,

Which should be set to “True” as I have both “false” and “true” in current line of code and setting “false” to “true” would be double “true”.

Not questioning your suggestion but just want to make sure I am doing right.

Can you change below current code to exactly what you suggest?

wp_enqueue_script( ‘dreamland_bootstrap’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/bootstrap.min.js’, array(‘jquery’, ‘jquery-ui-core’, ‘jquery-ui-widget’), false, true );

I have sent the theme authors of Dreamland Single Estate a support ticket but I doubt they are as helpful as you guys have been.

I like Simple:Press and its simplicity and I hate walking away from it because I think it is exactly what I need and the support is obviously great.

As you understand, being able to upload pictures is essential for that part of the website.

I hope we can find a solution as I want to continue to build with more plugins.

Thanks for your patience.

This is pretty clear and straightforward:

the last parameter is set to the word true. It would be worth setting it to false to see if that makes any difference. There is ONLY one ‘last parameter’ and only one currently set to false. That is the one to change.

Personally, I would look for a different theme. From what I have seen of all the stuff that they are loading it seems to be heavy handed and full of errors. As I have said many times now – the website is throwing scripting errors on every page and these are, I am sure, coming from badly written theme code. But it is your choice of course.

Well Mr Swordfish, I think you nailed it 🙂

It seems that both the menu and the file uploader is working now after the last tweak.

I will continue to test after taking a breather from the website for a while.

Your support has been excellent and I will surely be back for purchasing more plugins but hopefully no more problems 🙂

Your feedback and suggestion on changing the theme is well taken aboard but I cant seem to find a simple workable theme for this particular type of website and I have spent huge amount of hours getting this one setup due to me being an amateur.

Lets hope that no other problems arises from the change.

Indeed I will once I have gone through everything.

Again, thanks to both of you for your patience.

Unfortunately, a few more problems although generally it is working.

1 – When registered users have uploaded images, the images in the post are not aligned (you have the link) but in a bow like row (declining for every picture)

2 – The images are not clickable to enlarge and you have to enlarge the picture by clicking the file list.

3 – When clicking to enlarge, the pictures comes out way too small. I guess that is a setting on my side?

Your support is appreciated as always.

1 – you can set a default alignment on forum – options – content settings…  left will give you that for small thumbnails which you can control the size of (or remove)..

2 – on same panel, do you image enlarger enabled??

3 – not sure what you mean… it should be the size you uploaded.. unless you have other plugin dealing with image popups that could be overriding…

Got it working somewhat but no matter what setting I chose for the pictures they always come out in a long line and not grouped.

As an example, uploading 4 pics and they will just be in one long line down and not grouped.

Some settings in the default image style does not change anything.

Basically the only settings that I can do that change something is right/left.

Now, I have the settings at “Bottom” and it is still all aligned to the left and four pics aligned in a straight row down.

I have no problems aligning images beside each other depending on size of thumbnail setting of course.

if they are appearing either underneath each other then check you have the option unchecked to ‘Force paragraph after an image to start new line’.

If they are still appearing underneath each other – or – beside each other but in a descending position – then the most probable explanation is that you are hitting the enter key after each upload. This forces WordPress – and note this IS WordPress doing it – to surround each image with paragraph tags. This is a case of the WP formatting engine being a little too over-eager. and it is not that simple to stop it from happening.

However – we do plan to look at a tool called Masonry that might solve this formatting issue and allow us to override WP.

Can I respectfully remind you that this forum is for pre-membership queries and – as stated – not for support questions.

Will post in support forum the next time if there is an issue. Thanks for pointing it out.

The box is unchecked and I dont hit any enter button and the problem is still the same.

Does not matter what setting for images I set but they either align left or right and in a straight row down.

It’s always possible you have another plugin (or a theme option) having an effect on image display

Yes, that must be since I cant get it to work like you have pictured above.

For the forum, do I have to pay to become a member to get support on a plug-in that I have paid for or have I misunderstood something?
