thanks again

Guust:

Thank you! That solved the issue.

Paolo:
Thanks for the link suggestion.

My use is simpler, I set an expiration date of December 31, 2030 for all places, that’s 5,111 days in the future. None should expire before that, unless I manually change the expiration date or manually trash the “place”. I have checked and my export database has the alive_days field which is apparently correctly showing the end date.

Do I need to change my package Id, or create a new one to solve this? Could that be the problem?
Thanks

Guust:

Although I had tried that previously, it worked this morning for some reason.

That appears to have resolved the issue, many thanks.

Paolo:

I think this is getting more complex than it could be.
Here’s the scenario:
1. Client provides an ad, either as an attachment or pick-up from a print version (don’t worry about the quality here; I know it will be poor).
2. Using the media library, scan ad or click on “add new” and add it to the media library.
3. Using the image widget, I click on the ad and it is imported into the widget hit save and it fits. I can delete the image widget if WP has an integrated plugin to accomplish this.
4. What size does the ad have to be in order to fit the space? You suggested 500px. Telling me that it’s responsive means nothing to me, sorry, I’m not a coder or dev person.
5. If I’m spending all this time writing code and adjusting the ads, I’m not making any phone calls therefor no money.
6. I’m looking for a fast and simple way to insert the advertiser provided ad so it looks as good as possible in the sidebar without writing code every time I want to drop in an ad.
7. An example in the right sidebar can be seen here: http://www.ruralintelligence.com/ Yes, I know they are not using WP.
8. If this is a directory program, I’m pretty sure Stiofan already thought of a way to make this happen.

Thank you
