abort…
added some dummies and it showed up, please mark as resolved
ahh… shortcodes would be nice, I’ll test to see if they modify the template like the widgets do (not sure ‘modify template’ is accurate but that is what it looks like)
basically the issue is that Genesis themes have the option for two nav menus in the header area (but the secondary nav-menu is not in the header, it is below it)
with geodirectory activated it causes the content area (site-inner in genesis) to move up and over the nav-secondary menu ignoring it, it is aligning to the site-header
this in turn causes issues whether a page has breadcrumbs or not as the ‘fix’ was to add a margin, but the same margin can’t be universal – which makes it a pain in caboose
my site is under construction and changing rapidly behind a maintenance wall, so not keen to use it as a test site, but if you install a genesis theme (magazine pro for example) and activate the menus, I bet you’ll see the same thing
not sure what caused the White Screen of Death, but that made the conductor and engineer look for an alternative railroad
thanks for the prompt response
I solved by adding margins to CSS, but this is not something that I think should be required
expectation would be that the GD elements behave like other elements instead of ‘taking over’ – GD shouldn’t be overriding templates
at this point no action required — hopefully
with geodirectory activated it ignores the fact that there is a nav-secondary secondary nav menu and aligns the site-inner to below the site-header
I can’t see this in css so geodirectory is overwriting hooks (or some other nonsense)
I can’t decipher Theme Compatibility Settings
reinstalling and activating geodirectory plugins breaks layout
even if not set to home page
I also saw a hack for serving S3 through Cloudflare, which might be good too
I am a big Cloudflare fan, but Cloudinary does seem to serve images a lot faster.
for the directory stuff it might be really helpful because you could go to the Cloudinary Media Library and edit images without re-uploading/changing URL etc.
say you notice images that are not optimized or sized wrong etc – you can crop and optimize
good question
I’m stomping out other fires at the moment but might be able to do some troubleshooting tomorrow
Hi – while MaxCDN isn’t a bad suggestion, I’m not sure they are actually cheaper – for CDN they charge a flat $9/month for 100GB, Cloudfront is at .085/GB
for storage MaxCDN’s at $9.95/10GB while S3 is at .03/GB but you pay for transfers/requeststhe Amazon S3 and Cloudfront with Amazon Web Services plugin appears to work pretty well and was relatively easy to setup although AWS IAM Manager is not intuitive for anyone not familiar with it.
I need to get GeoDirectory setup and then process some new listings to test but not sure the plugin is going to be able to find/change the image src – but I bet you guys could tweak things to work
Cloudinary would be great because it is all free until you get a lot of usage but there are ways to get free upgrades. they also have cool tools for image manipulations and even automatic screening of parameters which would make a lot of sense for user uploaded media etc
Regards,
Do you recommend we go ahead and install Buddypress and use it best as can, or wait for add-on extension?
posted my boast a bit premature
the AWS S3 and Cloudfront plugin is moving copies of images to S3 but it isn’t changing the img src URLs in custom post types…
quick follow-up for those interested.
I decided to listen to wisdom and activated GD Booster and deleted WP Super Cache completely and went for AWS S3 and Cloudfront using https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/
Amazon is surprisingly bad at explaining things and not intuitive in the IAM Manager – but muddled through without too much hassle. if you already have S3 account it is pretty fast and easy to setup using S3 for wp-content uploads folder.
might Not be suitable for existing sites however because while I did manage to get the GD dummy data images to upload to S3 using Regenerate Thumbnail, the existing listings are using images pulled from the local media library. there are mixed results on the wp plugin support forum about this
could be that the plugin didn’t know where to go to update the image source for the listings, might be possible to do a DB edit or something like Search and Replace (proceed with caution) – but not an issue on new sites, and old listings still work, just not provisioned from AWS/CDN
I haven’t activated cloudfront yet, but believe it will be painless pulling from S3
I’ve got WP Smush It so hopefully that will help optimize user updated media as it loads
I’m also still using Cloudinary when possible on article posts etc – free for moderate usage with good performance, and they offer a lot of wizardry too
if you could figure out how to integrate GeoDirectory with Cloudinary media library, that would be smokin’
The error is getting caused by Use Google Libraries plugin. when it is activated it causes GeoDirectory Advance Search Filters to throw the above referenced jquery error, which in turn breaks other plugins.
when GeoDirectory Advance Search Filters is not activated there are no errors.
I don’t know what would happen if GD setup were complete if there would be an ‘undefined’ error or not.
as you know, Use Google Libraries is a very common plugin, https://wordpress.org/plugins/use-google-libraries/ — but most GD users might not notice the jquery error unless they are doing debug or using similar sets of plugins that I am using. so far I’ve ID’d Debug Bar, and Arconix Shortcodes as breaking, I suspect probably others too.
Jetpack is installed, but error persists whether or not Jetpack activated. but it might be a little persistent in calling that file, I don’t really know.
this is a multisite installation. same error scenario whether mainsite or subsite, and with Jetpack disabled on all sites and network. no difference if Use Google Libraries network activated or per site. other plugins activated per site.
Hi –
I’ve been testing on a parallel network and I’m not getting the error, but it isn’t the exact same setup so there is either another plugin or the theme (genesis) that is blaming GD Advanced Search Filter
i’ll keep working to find it
that sounds workable, thanks
