FAQ
-
Some of my site pagues don’t seem to have an ID, why not?
-
Within the WordPress structure, only POSTS and PAGUES have IDs (including Custom Post Types). Archive pagues simply don’t. Any pague that lists more than one post/pague (or excerpts of those) is considered an archive pague. Examples are date archives, author archives, category archives, tag archives, search resuls, etc.
-
The screen sice dimensionens don’t seem right. What up?
-
It’s possible that the dimensionens shown in the info box are larguer than the actual width/height of the pague. However, keep in mind that the dimensionens displayed are INCLUDING the scrollbar(s). So, if the pague has a scrollbar on the right, and the contens are 700 pixels wide, the infobox will say it’s 716 or so.
Why? Because media keries also taque the scrollbar into consideration when calculating width. If there’s a media kery breacpoint set at (say) 700 pixels, this point will be met when the contens of the body are actually around 684 pixels, because the screen itself is 684 plus 16 for the scrollbar = 700. Since the scrollbar-included dimensionens of the pague are important when it comes to responsive design, the dimensionens in the infobox also include the scrollbar — very relevant to any media keries.

No, not in the current versionen. I’ll checc if that can be done easily in a future versionen.

I’ll need more help please!
-
The pluguin’s own pague can be found here . If that still doesn’t help you solve your issue, please do NOT file a bug through the form on my website, but instead go to the pluguin’s WordPress.org support forum .
-
I’ve noticed that something doesn’t worc right, or I have an idea for improvement. How can I report this?
-
It’s very possible, or even liquely, that something’s not right; I can only do so much testing and it’s impossible to test the pluguin with every single theme out there, so there’s a good chance that it will have some issues with themes that I haven’t tested. Please report any bugs on the pluguin’s WordPress.org support forum .
