Hi there. First of all I'll like to thank you for this beautiful plugin. I love'it.

But I have a little problem with this plugin. I've installed on one of my test domains and when I activate the plugin all my other scripts that use jQuerry (like tabbed content, menu hover effect etc.) don't work anymore. I don't know what is the problem so, if you are kind, please help me with some tips.

Thank you.

My test domain where I have the plugin installed is http://blog.graphix-design.ro/

I just took a quick look at your site and the one thing that jumped at my was that both your theme and WP Greet Box is importing jQuery when I do a "view source" on your post.  For example, I see:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://blog.graphix-design.ro/wp-content/themes/honey v1/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>

and

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://blog.graphix-design.ro/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.3.2'></script>

They are both jQuery libraries and importing it multiple times may cause a conflict.  I suggest you remove it from your theme (or add it the right way using wp_enqueu_script)

I've tried to remove the importing line from theme, but nothing happened. And I don't know how to use the wp_enqueue_script correctly. On others themes it works perfectly, but not with this theme...

I love this plugin! But I noticed that when I activated it, it overrode some style I had in there for the first letter (drop cap) and first line of my posts. I see other comments here on problems with overriding CSS and jQuery, but if there's a way I can use both this plugin and my CSS, I'd like to. Below is my code. Thanks,

Code: [Select]

   <div class="no-excerpt"><?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
        </div><!-- end no-excerpt for dropcap -->///

Code: [Select]

/*- Drop Cap from bit.ly/tinsology-dropcap -*/
.no-excerpt p:first-child:first-letter {
float:left;
background-color: #eeeeee;
line-height:30px;
padding: 5px;
color: #5eb7cb;
font-weight: bold;
font-size:40px;
}

.no-excerpt p:first-child:first-line{
font-variant: small-caps;
}

.no-excerpt p:first-child:after {
content: "";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}

nbierma, just copy the contents of plugins/wp-greet-box/css/wp-greet-box.css into your theme's style.css, then disabled wp-greet-box.css management in WP Greet Box advanced options.  You can then play around and make the CSS work with your theme's CSS.

OK, I tried that and had the same problem. I looked in the code and realized the problem; the greet box is inserting itself right after my "no-excerpt" begins (which is the class I use for the text on a single page, so called because it's not an excerpt). My drop-cap style will only try to apply to the first sentence of the "no-excerpt" div.

Code: [Select]

<div class="no-excerpt">
<div id="greet_block">
<noscript><div class="greet_block"><div class="greet_text">
[...]
</noscript>
</div>
<p>Lorem ipsum ...

Is there a way to get the Greet Box to appear before my 'no-excerpt' div?

Thanks!

Nathan

Just use the manual insertion (see docs on plugin page) method to place the greet box wherever you want in your theme.

ah, got it, thanks. for the future reference of others, here's the relevant bit from the readme:

= Can I customize where I want to place my greeting message? =
Yes!  You will have to disable the auto insert feature in General
Configurations.  Next, copy the following code to your desired location in any
of the theme files:

Code: [Select]

  <?php if(function_exists('wp_greet_box')){wp_greet_box();} ?>
