MooseMember
Thanks, Brad, but I hired someone yesterday to do the work. No need to spend any more time with me on this. Appreciate it though.
MooseMemberWow, thanks Brad. It's helpful to know how you work. I am always hesitant to give specific information to programmers I hire for certain projects. I don't usually do that. Instead I'll spend hours online trying to find a solution and do it myself (hence the reason I come here once every year or two) instead of just paying a pro to do it. The few times I have had to hire someone I have been lucky (knock on wood), but this has certainly got me thinking about the security of my sites and how I can hire someone without giving up total access. I will keep your info on hand. I really appreciate the insight.
It would be great if there was some sort of rating system on here when someone is looking to hire a designer or programmer, but I know that doesn't work with a forum like this.
MooseMemberYour welcome, Brad, and again, thanks for your initial assistance.
Susan, yes, it is just you. How are members supposed to know who is and who isn't a "valued" member. Your argument is ridiculous. Brad even said there are a lot of people on here offering paid services. Should I assume that everyone in this forum is trust worthy? I am a little leery of blindly trusting people, but hey, maybe that's just me. At least on Fiverr or Elance there are rating systems when looking for assistance.
Brad and I had this covered. I NEVER said it wasn't within the rights of members to offer their paid services. There was no need for you to chime in unless you had a solution to offer me for the question I asked. I am amazed that you only pop up when someone has something negative to say about this forum. I'm sure that is not part of your volunteer duties. 🙂
MooseMemberBrad, I don't take offense to you offering a solution for a fee. Quite the contrary. I find it very enterprising. As I looked around the forum I would say about half of the FINAL solutions you offered were behind a paywall. 99% may be free solutions but that is not what I saw. Again, I am okay with that, but it would be nice if there were others to help out as well. You were the only one trying to offer assistance. Of course there is a motive behind that, but I appreciate it none the less.
I also would have paid you a lesser amount (say $5) for just the answer and not a whole month of PHP code access that I don't need and won't use. That may be something you could look into offering to increase sales.
What I am saddened about is the lack of appointed administrators not chiming in to current discussions. When I purchased the Genesis theme and multiple child themes it used to be that there were multiple moderators in the forum that would help out. It seems that has mostly disappeared. I rarely need assistance because Studiopress either has a tutorial or I can find it on Google. Also, one never had to say they only wanted "free solutions" when asking a question. That is new to me.
Thank you for outlining all the possible solutions. I am sure that will be useful for others who come across this post.
Again, I have no problem with self promotion, but a reasonable price for solutions and moderators of a forum for a paid product, would be nice.
MooseMemberHi Brad, I appreciate the link, and yes, it is exactly what I need, but paying someone $10 on Fiverr to do it as opposed to paying $47 to view your solution seems like a no-brainer to me. I paid less for a whole child theme. As I looked around this forum I saw that you offer a lot of solutions for people but they need to pay to view them. It's unfortunate that this forum has become a pay-per-view help desk. It certainly didn't use to be that way.
MooseMemberI've looked all over Google. The solutions seem to be beyond my coding capabilities. I think I'll just hire someone to do it on Elance or Fiverr. Thanks anyways.
MooseMemberThanks for the response. Your linked page shows how to do what the plug-in is doing, which is formatting the look. My question is how do I move the page-links to the top of the post.
I visited the plug-in forum and the question was asked there as well by someone else. The response was that it need to be done in the theme files. The plug-in has nothing to do with the placement of the pagination.
So, taking the plug-in a way from this scenario, which I will do if it helps me, how do I move the links?
I think it needs to be done in the single.php file but I cannot seem to find that in the NewsPro theme. Where would it be located?
