Plugin hunt: What does/doesn't work with Hybrid?

  1. You must be a logged-in exclusive member to view this reply.

  2. Those plugins works for me as well up to 0.5.1:

    * Featured content gallery 3.2.0 (modified to use get_the_image plugin instead of custom fields - now completely automatic)
    * Popupper 1.5 (popups text or images on link rollover)

  3. Simple:Press Forum seems to work but the Hybrid theme's css plays havoc with the style of the forum.

  4. Category Order - http://wpguy.com/plugins/category-order - very cool plugin to have ordered your categories the way you want them to appear in your menu or widgets.

  5. These Work:

  6. This both work and rocks with all types of videos - no customization needed. Simply select video format and type url of the video:
    Name: Video Widget
    URL: http://www.nikohk.com/plugin-wordpress-video-widget/

  7. This also works: Exclude Pages

  8. Does NOT work:

    It was working previously, but the latest update broke it.

  10. YARPP does work if you update to the latest 3.0.3 release. It was the plugin error, not Hybrid.

  11. The following plugins work seamlessly and is recommended by myself....

  12. @Ploobers thanks I'll try YARPP again though. I wasn't implying that it was a hybrid problem although I see from my previous comment that I wasn't specific enough about 'what' broke it. Sorry about that. Yes it was the YARPP update that caused the problems. Glad to hear it's been solved though. :-)

  13. Tweetmeme seems to be incompatible, use the embed code from the Tweetmeme website instead.

    http://themehybrid.com/support/topic/hybrid-new-tweetmeme-plugin-not-working-on-1-out-of-2

  14. FV Community News http://www.frank-verhoeven.com/wordpress-plugin-fv-community-news/ causes the slider and tabs to not work on the front page of Hybrid News.

  15. WP-Relative Date may be removed from list, or is the problem only with Life Collage ?

  16. Update, Twetememe is now working with my customized version of Hybrid News.

    Another plugin: Max Banner Ads Pro - when used for the header widget there is an incompatibility as the plugin adds some padding so a 60 px high banner doesn't fit. However when I wrote to the plugin support, they edited the code for me so it works now.

  17. Hi,

  18. Does not work: Slayer's Custom Widgets
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slayers-custom-widgets/

    It appears to work at first, but doesn't communicate with the blog template page, which is a huge issue (for me).
    Thanks.

    Admin note: I've tested this plugin, and it works as it supposed to with the theme.

  19. Here's a few more:
    http://wpaudioplayer.com/
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eshop/
    http://stephanreiter.info/2008/10/wordpress-plugin-scissors/(Gives the ability to crop or resize images and thumbnails. Great for those thumbnails where the center of the image isn't a very good thumbnail.)
    http://www.samgerstenzang.com/textplace.html (Gives the ability to "include" code via a shortcode or in a template file.)
    http://roel.meurders.nl/wordpress-plugins/wp-addquicktag-plugin-for-adding-quicktags/(Gives the ability to add quicktag buttons in the html editor. A nice complement to the Tiny MCE Advanced plugin.)

    Although I can't conclusively claim that this problem is with hybrid specifically, I was using hybrid when I found it. Post Teaser for some reason sometimes gave me no teaser whatsoever. Decided to just use a str_replace to replace the [...] with a read more link. Works perfectly fine for me that way.

    Now, if any of you could suggest a good newsletter plugin that allows html and css designed emails in the backend, that would be wonderful.

  20. I just experienced an issue with Widget Context. When activated, it prevented any widgets from showing up.

    Admin note: I've tested this plugin, and it works correctly.

  21. Cant reproduce on 2.9 rare/0.6.1. Are you sure Widget Context settings are correct ?

  22. [Plugin: Events Manager] might have broke my dashboard pulldown menus

    I am not sure exactly why this happened. Two weeks ago, my dashboard pull-down menus in the sidebars and widgets pull-downs stopped working not long after installing the most recent version of Events Manager. If the widget pull-downs don't work, I cannot edit the widget contents. The problem stopped when I de-activated this plug-in

    Admin note: This doesn't have anything to do with the Hybrid theme.

    Here are my other currently plugins(all up to date):

    wp e-commerce (WP Shopping Cart)
    Exclude Pages from Navigation
    Hybrid Hook Widgets
    Widget Logic
    WP-FLV
    WP Super Cache
    Hybrid Hook Widgets
    Hybrid Hook(added yesterday)

  23. I have an issue using new Search API Plugin:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search/

    It results on multiple edit byline (happens on Hybrid News and default Hybrid theme). Couldn't access the advanced search page when Front Page template is active on Hybrid News.
    The plugin seems using "page" instead of "search" template. No probs on other non-hybrid themes.

  24. Its on its way to 2.9 core so I guess a fix will have to come. It supports templates.

    http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10667

  25. FYI --

    WIDGET CONTEXT
    I use this widget a lot and I noticed the download link has recently been moved from a 3rd party website to be included in Wordpress's official wordpress repository:

    from
    http://konstruktors.com/blog/wordpress/842-wordpress-gpl-widget-context-plugin

    to
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-context/

    That is all, thanks

  26. This Redirection Plugin ( http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/ ) does not work with Hybrid News. Disables the Front page template.

  27. Unfortunately, the Apture plugin doesn't appear to work - At least with Hybrid News. I reverted back to Wordpress Default to test it and it worked with that theme.

    The plugin can be found at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/apture/

    When I used it in Wordpress default, I get a link to Wikipedia with an icon like on the Apture website http://www.apture.com/

    When I used with Hybrid News, I get a space after the "highlighted" text (the icon should be before) and there is no link. Looking at the html, it shows:
    [a id="aptureLink_pMadHfdrP7ffasdfzR3Yb" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse%20Proxy"]mytext[/a]

    Update: I forgot to mention that to work, the plugin adds to footer.php ?php function_exists('apture_script') && apture_script(); ?

    Also, upon installation, you have the option of having it look through existing posts and adding popups for links to services they partner with (e.g. Wikipedia). That worked successfully in Hybrid News as my previous posts with links to wikipedia are showing up with Apture's icon and a popup to the Wikipedia page associated with that link.

    Update Update:OK, strange behavior. It works if I put the post in the same category as my sticky posts used for the front page (cat=3), but if I put it in any other category - I only have two others and only one has a post in it - it doesn't work. By doesn't work I mean the anchor tag is missing altogether (I looked at source).

    Right now, I'm just using it in the proper category to get by. I'll try to think of what could be wrong based on categories later.

  28. AStickyPostOrderER works

  29. I see most of the ones I am using are listed except these two:

    For those who are not coding for IE6.
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/anti-internet-explorer-6/

    For embedding flash
    http://kimili.com/plugins/kml_flashembed

  30. Installing the NAVT Plug-In
    from http://atalayastudio.com/
    appears to have permanently broken a
    Hybrid theme.
