Hello Leo

Thanks for the new update:) I ve been playing around with the widgets last images and featured.
Last images display correctly but the featured does not show out although they show up in symbiotic
featured pictures

I use for homepage the homepage simple template

Great job Leo.

I've updated the theme and added the latest and featured images. Featured images doesn't work for me either. I added the category "Symbiostock Featured Image" to 6 photos, but they don't appear.

I added the Featured images as well with no results. It won't let me edit the slug (it adds and extra "-image" to the slug) and it says the slug is already in use.

I have featured and latest images.  Tried very hard to make both of them full with along with the text but could not manage it.  Used Home Page CTAs (what are cta's?) template.

I only found the templates yesterday, kept wondering what everyone was going on about as I was hunting for them in the child theme edit area

I worked out the problem with my featured images - it was mentioned above, but the solution that worked for me, was to go to the RF Images: Image Categories in the admin page. Then find the Symbiostock Featured Image category - mine had the slug as symbiostock-featured-images-images. I edited that by removing the final "-images". This worked OK for me, so now my slug is "symbiostock-featured-images" and the home page works as expected.

I tried that but it keeps saying its already in use elsewhere. I checked my keys but no luck there either. I'll keep looking...

Just to confirm latest images is working for everyone? If slug says featured images images then delete both images words and submit symbiostock featured....it will append images. Ill make it si category uses it and not slug

Still no luck here. I'll keep playing. I should've thought of that. D'oh!

I followed Steve fix and it works for me now

Featured images works great for me. Latest images won't show. I didn't process images for a while, which could be the reason. I wonder what "latest" means, anyway. It would be nice if the "latest" date range could be customized rather than being hard coded.   


I don't know if this has been reported before:

When I resize my firefox browser window to a width smaller than app. 800px our menus completely disappear. Hope that isn't a feature

Why you should never use Comic Sans, it's now completely outlawed in Switzerland...

cta is call to action... the page is full of widgets and it needed a name 

[Leo Blanchette]

I simply did not think people could have problems with image widgets.... please tell me working not working ratio of people using them

Featured isn't working for me, I've edited the slugs, deleted and tried again, edited keywords..no luck. I think somewhere it's saving the slugs I did wrong the first time around.

[steheap]

Both worked for me after I edited the featured slug

Thanks, Matt, for posting this link. I didn't even know a font can have such a bad reputation.
I sort of like Comic Sans. Guess it just proves that I am suffering from dyslexia 
Anyway, it is far from being a love affair. So I'll definitely try finding a less hated type face. Any suggestions on what is hip today?

[Leo Blanchette]

If you want to update and reinstall (not crucial if you have your Featured Images) working, here you go:

https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/symbiostock.zip?raw=true

This small update merely makes the featured images less dependent on user input....so you can change the slug and its fine. If you delete the Featured Images category it will also tell you it must be re-activated. Quite user friendly now.

I tried, but it still won't let me edit the slug (says its already in use). No worries, its not that important for me to have right now. I'll see if I can figure out where its storing the slug (its not in categories or keywords).
