Hello bergamasque,

we had to fix FV Top Level Categories to work with WordPress 3.3. Check out the latest version please.

Do you mean that you want to link to your child categories like ‘http://blog.com/child-category’ instead of ‘http://blog.com/parent-category/child-category’ ? I’m afraid that won’t work with our plugin anymore – even if it used to in the older version. We had to fix some parts of it, as the category feed links were not working when using /%category%/%post-name% structure.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Brett,

this was done in FV Simpler SEO – when there is no long title, it automatically shows the title in the “Long title” field. Then when you click to it, it’s already there and you can edit it:

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Andreas,

we are glad that you like our editor!

To disable the Featured Image feature of this plugin, you can put this into your template’s functions.php a new simple plugin which you create:

global $fp_wysiwyg;

remove_action( 'wp_ajax_seo_images_featured_image', array( &$fp_wysiwyg, 'featured_image' ) );

remove_filter( 'admin_post_thumbnail_html', array( &$fp_wysiwyg, 'admin_post_thumbnail_html' ) );

Or you can set the “Path to images on your web server” in plugin Basic Options to something else than your WP Media path.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello sean and seoweb,

thank you for all the links and you view on this.

I checked what Yoast is doing and it looks nice. WordPress actually puts in a good amount of link rel tags on single posts and pages by default. You can see the same set of link rel=”prev” and link rel=”next” tags in post head section on any WordPress site. I’m not sure how this fits into the advices presented in the article by Google. It links to next and previous post based on post date, so it’s there even when no paging is needed.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Bryan,

just one more thing – if you want to use normal WordPress Media Library, you can – just turn on Settings -> Foliopress WYSIWYG -> Enable WordPress uploader buttons.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Bryan,

with Foliopress WYSIWYG, you can use the Link dialog to put in links and link to existing posts or pages. Same as WordPress, you just need to enable it in Settings -> Foliopress WYSIWYG -> Advanced Options -> “Use WordPress Linking Dialog”. However the dialog needs to be cleaned up, the “Upload” function should not be showing up.

Then you can use the “Quick Insert Image” button which launched SEO Images image manager to upload pictures. If you need to get URL of some picture, you can use the “View Image” function which will open the selected image in popup window, which you need to allow. So having a “Copy file location” function would be nice, we can look into it when we do another round of updates.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Our editor currently has some issues with IE9, we are starting a fund raising drive which would allow us to accelerate development of fix for IE9 and also some other fixes.

Martin

Hello Amanda,

1. the issue with our image uploader should be related to permissions. Check the path in Settings -> Foliopress WYSIWYG -> Path to images on your web server and make sure it exists. If it does, you can ask your host administrators to fix permissions for that folder to be writable by your web server.

2. the issue with the WordPress uploader is even more weird. There must be some JavaScript issue on your post editing screen or some of WordPress files might be missing.

Check if you see any error messages in your web browser error console (you can use Web Inspector in Safari or Web Console in Firefox). If you do, you could start disabling plugins until you see which one was in conflict. Perhaps you installed some new plugins recently.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Randy,

we haven’t noticed such issue yet. By not being able to edit the pages you mean:
a) the pages are not in the menu in wp-admin?
b) the pages can’t be saved?

1. Can you please try to turn off other plugins which might be affecting the permission levels first? (if you use any)
2. Is it just the “Pages” menu that is hidden for your editors or are they not allowed to edit pages at all? You can try to open page editing URL as editor and see what happens.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Jelenko,

I checked out your issues. You probably have the WordPress debuging turned on. Read more about it here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug

I also cleaned up the plugin code, so there warnings should not show up anymore.

New version – 0.9.20 is out.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello again Pontus,

I checked your previous comments and I found out that we promised to you some new features for Foliopress WYSIWYG quite a bit of time ago. I’m really sorry that this was not finished.

I’ll put in these new features in tomorrow (easy posting of Youtube embed codes into post source).

The other issue – Internet Explorer 9 is not currently our priority. Fixing this is a big and time consuming task. We will start a fund raising drive including with your existing donation and if it goes well we will do it.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Edwin,

this must be a conflict with some other plugin (what plugins are you using?) or one of the JS files fails to load.

Are you seeing any error messages in your web browser error console (you can use Web Inspector in Safari or Web Console in Firefox)?

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Ken,

could you please let us know how if the plugin working for you?

We haven’t noticed any issues.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Mix,

there is probably conflict with some other plugin.

Let us know what plugins and what version of WordPress you use.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Ken,

here’s the new version for your testing:
http://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-top-level-cats-dev.zip

We preserved all the standard category URLs but (same as the older versions), if there’s a page with same URL as category, we show this page instead of the category.

Please let us know if it works for you.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Simone,

your P tags are possibly limited to the 600px size in your CSS. If your content appears to be 900px wide but all the sentences go only up to 600px as soon as you start writing, then it’s likely the cause.

Are you trying to get full width for your editing?

We want to add support for the editor CSS which comes with new WordPress templates. That way any configuration for the true WYSIWYG should be needed only for themes without the editor CSS.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Daren,

Foliopress WYSIWYG is using your theme CSS if you specify the wrapper ID or class element. We describe the whole configuration process here:
http://foliovision.com/seo-tools/wordpress/plugins/wysiwyg/installation#wysiwyg

You might need to adjust the styling for the tables, just like in step 6.: “If some HTML element (for example headers) are missing the styling”

We also want to add support for the editor CSS which comes with new WordPress templates, so this will be easier in future.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Ken,

thank you for your kind words. We see that there are some issues when using /category/postname structure and this seems to be one of them.

I’ll add that to one of the things to look after in our next release, which will use a bit different architecture, but will still preserve the original Top Level Categories behavior (I think it was showing pages instead of categories when they have the same URL, I’ll double check).

Martin

Hello seoweb!

So your site has a lot of pages with URLs ragiong from http://example.com/page/2 up to http://example.com/page/200 and titles ranging from “Example blog – Part 2” to “Example blog – Part 200”, is that right?

And Google Webmaster tools or similar SEO utility is saying that you have too many similar titles? We suggest that you ignore warnings like this, just changing these titles by inserting some random text as you suggest would remove the warnings, but it makes no sense.

The issue here is that your blog has a lot of URLs which have /page/ in them, so that might lead search engines to assume that “page” is one of your keywords. We try to eliminate these issues on our some of our WP sites which are not really blogs by not providing the paging feature on the homepage and instead featuring the site content in few content boxes on the homepage. Each of these boxes might list one of the main categories and then link to archive for that category.

Thanks,
Martin

Hah, sorry, didn’t see the response to Rachelle. Uploaded and made sure the 1.1.4beta was activated, and it’s working. =)

So now /weblog/category/work/page/2 isn’t needed, it’s just /weblog/work/page/2

Much thanks!
-Randall

Hello roscoehix,

what video format are you using?

Flowplayer is able to play mp4 files, however not all codecs are supported. If you’re having troubles try to use another codec when saving your video, or use the flv format.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Doaadi,

Here is the changelog, also included in plugin zip file in readme.txt and wordpress.org:
http://foliovision.com/seo-tools/wordpress/plugins/wysiwyg/changelog/version-09

We also posted an announcement in our blog:
http://foliovision.com/2011/07/19/foliopress-wysiwyg-ie-9

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Rachelle and Randall,

you both have the same issue. Could you please try the beta version in my previous message?

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Sid,

we are working on a revised version which will detect what SEO plugin you use and automatically give you those fields. If your SEO plugin won’t be in the list, you will be able to configure the field names manually.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Flavio,

thanks to both you and Edrard for finding this!

We will include this fix in one of the next releases.

Thanks,
Martin

Thank you for that, it’s a nice addition into our FAQ!

Martin

It could also be due to CSS. Maybe one of the lines in your template CSS is forcing display for the textareas.

I added your question into FAQ section.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Poli,

my guess be that your template is using some different HTML for the comment form (it should do it with a WordPress function) and that’s why the special CSS is not working and two textareas appear instead of one.

If you are using any publicly available WordPress template, we can check it out and see what could be wrong.

Also, try clearing any WP cache you are using and browser cache.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Amanda,

for these advanced posts with code (mostly JavaScript), we added “Plain text editing” check box to “Post Author” post and page editing meta box.

That might do the trick for you. We ended up using plugin called Sniplets to insert PHP code into posts. It’s bit more difficult and don’t forget to properly test if it works for you.

Please let us know if any of this was helpful!

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Karrington,

I’m not sure what you mean. Is the Format drop down menu empty, or is it not reflecting the font size of the text bellow your typing cursor? It works only with the basic HTML tags for headings and such, it won’t take in any inline styles.

In the first case, please try to re-save the plugin options in wp-admin -> Settings -> Foliopress WYSWIYG, there might be some glitch.

If you want to have more styling options, check out “How can I set different font sizes or colors?” in the updated FAQ section.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Djoh,

please try to resave the options.

Also check if your .htaccess is not restricting access to your cache directory. We just discovered that it can (of course) cause issues, so we will cover that in FAQ soon.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Tim,

we actually released a new version which is fixing this issue few minutes ago.

Please upgrade and let us know how it works for you.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Stephanie,

that’s a nice feature, we will add that in next release.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Bill,

I suggest that you write your desired styles for table into template CSS and then just a class to the table, which will make sure you get the look you want.

However I checked the templates and they work. I added ‘Templates’ into Custom Toolbar and selected it as a toolbar for editor. When I did some change in the template, I had to reload the editor.

So you can do the changes to template, but when you upgrade the plugin, make sure to save the file and replace it again. We might also support alternative template XML paths in next release, that way the upgrades wouldn’t destroy the changes.

But for your case I really suggest that you use your template CSS and a class. Inline styles are no good, imagine you want to update your site design and you have to change all the tables by hand, as they have inline styles.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Douglas,

our plugin makes no modifications to the WordPress behavior – as soon as you deactivate, everything is back to normal, so users are able to edit the Screen Options. They are able to do so even when the plugin is on.

If the Screen Options are not saving properly, I guess some of you other plugins is breaking the core WordPress Screen Options saving AJAX code.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello stwc,

I revised the code and tested activation on WordPress 3.0.4 multisite on localhost and one of our Cpanel hosts.

Please download the zipfile again and let us know if it works this time.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Brett,

sorry for not responding earlier.

Yes, we want to improve this plugin to work with titles and so on.

The function to copy the WordPress title into the SEO Title field could go into our FV All in One SEO Pack plugin.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello stwc,

we are glad that you like our plugin.

I’ll look into the issues you outlined.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Ivan,

you need to put ‘foliopress-next’ into your custom toolbar. I guess you added ‘PageBreak’, but that’s not the correct command.

Thank you for reporting this, I’ll remove PageBreak from the installation guide and add the correct command.

Let us know how it goes, it works perfectly on our site.

Martin

Hi Oliver,

My default (empty) gravatars are all loaded from gravatar.com and your plugin creates files for them. Then your plugin checks for a 404, but the file exists (13 byte).

I’m sending you a tweaked main PHP file of the plugin. Can you test it to see if it solves the problem?

I basically added another check for the 404. But I’m not sure if it will solve your problem. Can you provide the email address of some comment which has this bad 404 13B gravatar so I can see it? Or send me one of these 13B files?

I have tried it on two different servers now and on one it works properly so it won’t actually create empty gravatar files for people without gravatars. On the other it creates a gravatar (empty 13 bytes file) for all comments for some reason.

I suppose it’s because I disabled fopen on one server and it checks via fopen if it’s a default avatar (compare line 437) Since fopen is a major security risk I would have to rewrite this check.

That’s a different part of code and has nothing to do with the default gravatars. But if you disabled the fopen function, that might be the reason why none of the gravatars are cached properly. The files are probably containing only some warning instead of the content. Can you check it out?

Anyway, fopen is a standard function and is required to write the cached gravatar files. The more dangerous function is the remote fopen, but we are not using that. Have you any suggestion what we should be using instead of fopen and fwrite to write the cached files?

Can you check if there are any warnings on plugin settings page? It should be wp-admin/options-general.php?page=fv-gravatar-cache on your site. It checks if the directory is writable. If you disabled just the writing permissions, it should display a warning.

If you just disabled the fopen and fwrite functions, the plugin just can’t work, unless there is any other safer function which you think is better and we could use it.

Thanks, Martin

Hello Balthazar,

that’s because it’s JavaScript. Firefox seems to cache JavaScript a lot, so when you do changes to some files, it needs to be cleared.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Laura,

looks like there is something wrong with your wp-config.php file – a whitespace character on line 155.

Here’s a guide how to solve this: http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F

Please let us know how it went.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Andy,

actually our plugin is cloning the dashboard settings too. I added a FAQ section with list of what’s cloned.

If you are missing some widgets on dashboard as a contributor, I would guess that the appear only to higher level users.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello JJ,

we just released a new version of the plugin which allows authors to manage comment bellow their own articles. You can simply upgrade the plugin in wp-admin menus.

It uses the same checking mechanism as WordPress – current_user_can(‘edit_post’, $post->ID) (which by the way doesn’t sound so good, but that’s how is WordPress checking the permissions for comment moderation in wp-admin section).

Thanks,
M.

Hello Luca,

what you want to do is to create some classes with different font faces (if you know a bit of CSS you won’t have any problem with this) and then add it into the Custom Dropdown. More on this topic in Installation guide

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Bodhi,

You should be setting up the CSS in the back end and in the front end so that your users neither need nor want to mess around with double carriage returns.

If you want to have more white space between paragraphs you should put something like this into your CSS:
#entry p { padding-bottom: 10px; }

If your webpage shows correctly and the problem is just in the editor, make sure you have WYSIWYG mode properly configured using this guide. If there’s some problem with the display even in the WYSIWYG mode, you can enter the above CSS into Custom WYSIWYG CSS in plugin options.

Of course you might want to play with the exact padding value and you must enter the right CSS selector, #entry should work with most templates.

If you really can’t live without extra carriage return, you can use Shift + Enter at the end of paragraph.

If you really need these empty paragraphs, you can just replace line 39 in foliopress-wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/plugins/foliopress-clean/fckplugin.js with this:

//strChange = strChange.replace (“<p> </p>”,””); // disabled to allow empty paragraphs

But you have to be careful to do the fix again after each plugin upgrade then.

We really recommend you to go the clean CSS way.

Thanks,
M.

Hello Teros,

we don’t like using font and font colors as it puts a ugly inline CSS. Instead we added a customizable drop-down menu to the latest version which you can download here.

We recommend you adding some classes for different fonts and fontsizes in your CSS and then just to add it to the dropdown.

If you are not ok with that, you can still just customize the toolbar and add all the default buttons to it.

All of that can be done within the plugin options page & CSS customization, all the info you need is here: http://foliovision.com/seo-tools/wordpress/plugins/wysiwyg/installation

Thanks,
M.

Hi Simon,

I checked on the Mailpress issue and it’s really not working. However we want to make it compatible in one of the next versions.

We tested the Insert media button extensively and it’s working. Are you seeing any JavaScript errors in your Firefox? Can you create a test editor account on your site for me to see the problem?

Thanks,
M.
