Hi Rui, thanks for the reply. I tried your method but still ran across troubles. For now, I’ll hold off on this current specific update and try the next one.

More importantly, I’ve been talking with my friend who I run the website with, and we want to do a huge redesign that we’ve been wanting to do for a long time. This is something that would require a good bit of CSS tweaking, element organization, and other things that I’m not sure Cardinal has built in from the get-go or not. I’m wondering if I post all of my Photoshop mockups (once I’ve completed them), would support team be able to have a look and tell me if:

1. It’s realistically possible to create through Cardinal
2. Someone is able to support me during making some of the more complex changes to ensure stability
3. Which of the changes are already built into Cardinal (from what I saw, there were a good number of features already implemented)

Would really appreciate the assistance on that, I’ll probably make a new topic for that once these mockups are done.

Hi Ed,

I actually couldn’t get to the error logs or anything, the entire foundation of WordPress crashed when I updated. Browser goes white visiting my actual page or the /wp-login.php or /wp-admin backend pages.

I temporarily fixed it by using my hosting server’s backup service. I reverted back a day to the point where the update hadn’t been installed yet, and it started working again.

Okay, I’m running 1.40 and it’s really on and off about the duplication glitch. Worse still, I just got a new push for a Cardinal update, and updating to it crashed my front and back end for WordPress. I can’t do anything at the moment. Need a solution, my website and backend are entirely down; I’m getting a white screen for both.

[HiroiSekai]

Again? I thought we just updated to 1.40 for the new code to work? Is there another update?

[HiroiSekai]

Okay images are looking normal again, thanks. Still don’t have an answer to the social icons in my sidebar being duplicated.

[HiroiSekai]

Hi Ed,

Sorry, I’m not entirely sure how Swift Framework lays out the PHP documents and such. Where do I go to add this new code? Which folder

Also would really like those social icons in the sidebar to stop showing two instances of themselves.

Hi Ed,

The update has gone through now and it’s staying on 1.40. What is it that I have to do to make those featured images on the home page have the same set width and height, and can I have that change permanent so I don’t have to do it with each new Cardinal update?

Also would still like some assistance about those duplicating social icons in the sidebar.

Many thanks.

Okay, I did a couple cache purges and the icon turned red. However, even after it says I updated successfully, it just reverts back to 1.32 after leaving the plugins page.

I did a full update through the WordPress unloader and it gives me an error, which I have screencapped as an attachment.

That’s the thing, I went to the plugins page first, and nothing. I’ll attach a screenshot to show that it’s not turning red. 🙁

I think the duplication bug for my social icons is actually annoying me more though, would love some help on that. Thanks.

Hi Ed,

It looks like Swift Framework 1.40 hasn’t been pushed to WordPress as an install- I’m still on 1.32, and the Swift changelog seems to only show up to 1.20.

And any word on what’s happening with that duplication glitch with my sidebar icons?

[HiroiSekai]

Hey again, I’m back!

Got a new problem with an additional question. Just updated Cardinal to the newest version, and all of my social links in my sidebar have a weird duplication effect. Quite odd looking, to say the least. Attachment included to show what’s happening in my sidebar.

Aside from that, I heard there would be a featured image resizer in the settings in more recent updates, but I don’t think I’m seeing it. As such, I’m still having to go into the php files with each update so my home page (http://hiroi-sekai.com) doesn’t have featured images that are too large and cropped. Has the update adding the resizing feature been completed? Am I just missing it?

Thanks!

Hi Ed,

Thank you kindly for the assistance. I always have run CloudFlare and even big posts like this wouldn’t get stuck until now. For some strange reason though, CloudFlare must have stopped working after the recent Cardinal update. I visited the CloudFlare plugin settings page, and for whatever reason that has it running again.

The audio player controls are back in their positions too, thank you for the helpful CSS. The only thing remaining is the $thumb_height line: on line 1009 I see:

$image = sf_aq_resize($thumb_img_url, 420, 315, true, false);

Should this be replaced by the $thumb_height line you provided? Should it be added before or after? Plus, I’m guessing that the 270 height in the code needs to be changed? I tried both 270 and null here, but saw no changes. Sorry to bother you, but I’d like to ask about just this part again. The rest is working beautifully.

Many thanks!

Hi Rui, thanks for looking into it. The problem is still persisting and some of my most popular posts aren’t loading for visitors.

I’m also still needing resolution on these issues:

1) All audio player embeds on the site have broken CSS, with the total time display and progress bar displayed incorrectly. Example post: http://hiroi-sekai.com/2014/12/28/extra/

2) I tried to adjust the sf-post-formats.php in the swift-framework/content folder. I can no longer find this line that Kyle recommended switching a few months back:

$image = sf_aq_resize( $thumb_img_url, 420, 315, true, false );
changed to
$image = sf_aq_resize( $thumb_img_url, 420, null, true, false );

This solved my cropped thumbnail issue back then, but now the issue is back and I can’t find this line anywhere.

Thanks as always, appreciate the help.
