Hello, it's me again :(

After today's upgrade of my other web site http://www.therealestators.com (luckily I did not upgrade on my main page yet) the plugin completely disappeared (used to be in the white box that is now empty). I have no idea what happened, checked the setting and everything seems to be alright. I am using Thesis 1.6 so this might be a reason?

Thaks for your help (again), hate to bother you again about the plugin but I really can't even get clos to figuring it out this time…

Hi Claudia,

Remind me – I think you had to make some extra mods to get the old version to work with Thesis? It's possible that these are no longer required due to the re-coding of the plugin.

I can see the scripts fine in the header, but the featured box is empty. Which template file contains the DCG code? Can you post the code from that file here? (Possibly index.php?)

I am using open hook for thesis and this is how I pasted the code into the Feature Box Hook:

<div id="featured_content_box_right">

<div id="dynamic_content">
<?php if (is_home()){ global $post; include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/dynamic-content-gallery-plugin/dynamic-gallery.php'); } ?>
</div>

Now, there's another problem though with my other site http://realestatewall.com. Did non upgrade the plugin but enabled the wibiya tool bar and the slider isn't working any longer. Must be a conflict… Would upgrading the slider fix this? Or is there any other way of fixing this conflict? I'm a bit freaked out because I don't want to break it…

Thanks so much for your help!!

Claudia, Try replacing the code you posted with this:

<div id=”featured_content_box_right”>

<div id=”dynamic_content”>
<?php if (is_home()){ include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/dynamic-content-gallery-plugin/dynamic-gallery.php'); } ?>
</div>

No, that is not working either :( I keep trying different things and nothing is working… No idea what went wrong…

Did you look at the other site as well? I really want to keep the plugin, I love it and it complements the site so well! What could it be?

Claudia,

Looking at the other site (realestatewall.com), a plugin conflict is the likely cause of this. If you upgrade to DCG v3.0 and use the jQuery framework setting rather than the default mootools, the plugin conflict may disappear.

Does the DCG work if you disable the wibiya tool bar?

Getting back to therealestators.com, it's really difficult for me to diagnose this sort of problem from the front end. If you like you can send me an admin login and password by PM and I'll take a look.

Yes, I will try that with realestatewall, hope it fixes the problem. But first I want to see if we can get the plugin at all to work on the other site. Would hate to mess it up on realestatewall in case I do decide to remove the wibiya bar (which is defnitely what is causing the conflict). So is jQuery less likely to cause conflicts?

I'm going to send you an admin login and password via PM. Thanks so much for taking the time!!

Theoretically, yes, using jQuery is less problematic than using mootools in this respect. However, that assumes that the other plugin is using jQuery correctly as per WordPress development guidelines. If this is not the case, I can't guarantee that the conflict will be resolved.

I think I agree with you, though. Let's deal with one issue at a time and get v3.0 working on therealestators.com site first. Smile

It's late here now, so it's unlikely I'll be able to take a look before tomorrow…

That's ok. Have a good night and hopefully we'll figure it out tomorrow. I'm going to try a couple more things here on my side, see if that can fix it…

Just sent you the login and user id via PM, let me know in case you didnt get it for whatever reason.

Thank you!

PM with login received, thanks.

And problem solved. Smile

This is the code that was required in the Open Hook box:

<div id="dynamic_content">
<?php if( is_home() ) {
dynamic_content_gallery();
} ?>
</div>

I'm off to bed now… Wink
