Hi Didier,

The stars are part of a sprite in gif format:
https://zenoweb.nl/wp-content/plugins/gwolle-gb-addon/assets/rateit/star.gif

You could edit this image in any image editor and change the colors. Then upload it to your website to its own url. Do not overwrite the image from the plugin, that will be overwritten again on an update of the plugin. The media library would even work, but better is a separate place with assets for your website.

With CSS you can create style rules to use your own image.
For example:

html body .gwolle-gb .rateit .rateit-preset {
    background-image: url('https://zenoweb.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/star-darker.gif');
}

Does this help you? Can you manage?

Hello Beat,

I sent you an email with a change regarding this issue.
Could you confirm if it works for you?

Regards,
Marcel

Hello Beat,
Sorry for the slow reply.

Yes, I understand this is somewhat confusing. It is to me anyway :) The issue is that output is supposed to be escaped so JavaScript or other nastyness doesn’t become part of the page content.

I just did the following:
I removed the text in the settings. I saved those settings. The textarea was filled again with the default text and I saved that. The textarea now had a won't in the text.
I went to the string settings and cut and pasted that same content. Then I saved the string settings.
This resulted in a correct replacement of the string.
Issue was when saving the strings again (for example by adding a new one). Now the string had an escaped text with won\'t. Now the text replacement did not work.

I will look into trying to have both settings act and work the same.

Hello Günther,

Most probably there is caching involved. Is there a way to clear the cache? Which plugin do you use for cache?

It might also be that the hosting provider is using a cache in front of WordPress. In that case, can you share the address of the website?

Hi, that is unfortunate.

Could you try and add this CSS to Appearance > Customizer > Custom CSS ?
Alternatively, in form settings, you can have the labels not float to the right, but on top of the input field.

.gwolle-gb-write label.text-info {
    text-align: right;
    width: 100%;
    padding-right: 10%;
}

Hi, could you try this CSS in Appearance > Customizer > Custom CSS?

.gwolle-gb-write div.label {
    background-color:transparent;
}
.gwolle-gb-write div.label label.text-info {
    color: rgb(64, 63, 66);
    font-weight: 700;
    text-shadow: none;
}

Hi Eric,

Can you share the address of your website? I can then take a look and probably write some CSS for you.
I assume the theme has a certain styling that is in the way.

Regards,
Marcel

I am sorry, but I don’t understand anymore if this is about the frontend or the dashboard. And if it is about the dashboard, which page exactly.

When you press ‘delete’ on the frontend, it should be deleted from the frontend with a disappearing animation. It will not be visible from then on anymore.

If you go to the Entries page in the dashboard and for example hit the AJAX action ‘trash’, it will be marked as trashed. It will not be deleted immediately.
If you want to see only visible entries, you can click on the second link on the top of the page.
Deleting immediately would be considered a very bad idea. There are AJAX buttons that would delete it, it would be very easy to do a ghost click and delete entries, without any way to bring them back.

I am not allowed to have admin access to websites, I also prefer not to do that.

By the way, you say “you need to” without giving any arguments why you would need to. Can you share the arguments about why it is needed?

[Marcel Pol]

Strange, here it works.

Do you get an error or is there an error in the console?

Please be aware that only the author (logged in) and moderators can see that Delete link.

Hello Sylvain,
I suppose you mean the security question? It is supposed to have a question and answer saved in the settings.
Otherwise there is no captcha.

Can I advise you to leave the default settings for anti-spam for now? I think the honeypot and timeout function should work mostly against spambots. Against humans, if they are bothering you, moderation is often effective.

Hi Frederic,
Can you share the address of the website? I can then take a look and see if I can provide some example code.

This plugin uses as little CSS as possible. It is up to the theme to provide styling to forms, that way it will be uniform across the website.

Regards,
Marcel

Hi,
That is not part of the plugin.

You could look into the widget and enable the slider. That is not a caroussel ofcourse.
If that doesn’t suffice, it would need custom coding.

Regards,
Marcel

[Marcel Pol]

No problem, should be allright now.

Let me know if there is an issue.

Regards,
Marcel

[Marcel Pol]

No problem. But please be aware that if you are looking into a very specific thing, but are choosing premade plugins, you might not get what you want. You could choose something that is still good enough for you, or (let) create something custom.
If you create something custom, you could look into extending standard comments, that might be the cheapest.

You can also take a look at testimonial and review plugins. It is all the same, there is a form, people can leave a message, it gets published on the website. Just a different name.

Hi Michael,

Good that you found out about the star rating. The likes are for liking a guestbook entry.

I like the idea of unlikes. I think I will add it.

The thumbs are a nice addition too. I still think this clutter belongs in the metabox, not in full view.
