Hi There,

I just used your CSV import plugin to add a long list of members to Connections on a WP site that uses the theme Stack. It now appears that when the Connections plugin (not the Connections CSV import plugin) is activated, then non of the images on the site display, turn off the Connections plugin and all the images display.

Any ideas as to how to work around this?

Thanks!

Sorry, no clue, since I have never seen that happen before … honestly, not even sure that it would even be possible.

You’re going to have a share a link to your site with Connections activated with me so I can see the issue.

Ugh! I do not see any way to fix this. I’ll try to explain.

The Stack theme is using a newly 2 year version of a script called picturefill.js to show the images. Version 1.2 from what I can tell. Here’s a link to the script on your site from the theme:

http://[REDACTED].com/wp/wp-content/themes/stack-theme/js/picturefill.js

Connections also uses picturefill.js but it is much newer, version 2.1. The current version is 2.2. So I should update the version that comes with Connections. But that will not address the issue.

The version that comes with Connections is being used but is not compatible with the old HTML markup for images that was required to make version 1.2 work. Since is is not compatible, the script is not looking for it so it is not showing the images.

Actually… now I think about it, this incompatible markup means that both should be able to run fine together. The version that comes with the theme just needs to be force to be used too … I can do that, but I’ll need a temp admin account so I can login and make a small edit to the theme. You can send me the login details using the contact link at the bottom of the page. Please paste a link to this forum thread so I can relate the two. Thanks!

Hi There,

If you could fix that would be excellent, thank you. Seems Stack theme needs a bit of updating. Quick question in the meantime, the contact link at the bottom of the page just brings me back to the forum, is there another way for me to send details to you?

Thanks!

Ahhh… looks like it was a bug with the Ninja Forms plugin… The contact form is back now. Apologies for the trouble!

No worries, sent now, thanks again!

Ok, you’re all fixed up. There’s new plugin installed on the site called Code Snippets. This has a code snippet which will run if both Stack and Connections are active. When run, it will enqueue the theme’s older version of the picturefill library. Connections will merrily go on its way loading the current’ish version it requires.

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

For the historical record, the following is the code snippet required when the Stack theme version 1.0 and Connections are both active:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'stack_enqueue_picturefill', 99 );

function stack_enqueue_picturefill() {

  if ( defined( 'THEME_URI' ) && class_exists('connectionsLoad') ) wp_enqueue_script('stack-picturefill', THEME_URI . '/js/picturefill.js', false, THEME_VERSION, false );
}

Thank you, that’s absolutely excellent! Very much appreciate the support.

Have left a fittingly glowing review.

Thanks again for fixing the problem.
