Hi Nikki,
THANKS A LOT! Wouldn’t have hoped for such a quick developement!
I have one issue though.
When adding a picture it puts the picture ind the edit area not in the list area.
You can see what i mean in this vidoe.

Hmm… strange. I can’t seem to reproduce that. Which browser are you using?
Hello Nikki,
I would like to create a site, where my friends may put up their wishlists… for other friends, who might have at home the item, and they just can give it away for free.
All this… in Hungarian.
And I thought to use WordPress… and found YOUR plugin.
Some questions:
- how may other registered users write their lists?
- how could I translate the plugin to Hungarian?
- may one add pictures next to the list items?
- do you think it is a good idea to build my site on your plugin?
And… any further thoughts are welcome.
Thanks a lot!

This plugin does not appear to be working on WordPress version 3.3.1.
I tried fro an hour to get a wishlist to display… with no luck. I’ve moved on to find an alternative.
“does not appear to be working” doesn’t really tell me much. It works correctly on my 3.1.1 test site.
Did you follow the instructions in the readme.txt file?
is it possible to build in a reservation button?
i’am sry to bother you again do you have any idea what this means: i cant add any new intems.

This bug should be fixed in version 0.0.2
Nikki,
I get the same error on line 234 when editing a wish list with no entries. I’m using WP 3.3.2 with the Suffusion theme.

Upgrade to version 0.0.2.
Nikki,
I completed the upgrade and the error has disappeared but clicking on the “Add Items to Wish List” button has no effect.
What else am I missing?
It sounds like some sort of javascript conflict. What other plugins are you using? And what browser?

When the list is displayed using the shortcode I get the following warning:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/hm4all/public_html/clermontpetsalive.org/wp-content/plugins/my-wish-list-0.0.2/my-wish-list.php on line 70
See http://www.ClermontPetsAlive.org
Is there a way to display ONLY the wish list items vs. the page using the shortcode?
Hi Nikki,
I moved the list to a page and now get the following warning:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/hm4all/public_html/clermontpetsalive.org/wp-content/plugins/my-wish-list-0.0.2/my-wish-list.php on line 70
Any ideas for resolution Nikki?
…… Rick
It looks like the conflict is with the Cart66 Lite plugin. I installed the the same plugins you have on a test site, and as soon as I deactivated Cart66, My Wishlist Started working correctly.
I’ll dig around and see if I can figure out what’s causing the issue.
Alright, I think I found the problem. There was a javascript conflict between My Wish List and Cart66. I’ve fixed it and uploaded a new version of the wish list plugin.
Hurray Nikki it’s working – you’re the greatest!
…… Rick
I guess now I need more fundamental help on displaying the wish list. When I hover over the edit link for the list I created I see that it’s post 92. I added the shortcode [wishlist id=92] to the page I created to display my wish lists but nothing is displayed after adding 2 wish list items.
Sorry to be such a bother – how should it be configured?
…… Rick
It sounds like you’ve got the shortcode right. I would double double check the ID you’re using, and then I’d check to make sure the Wishlist is published rather than saved as a draft.
Double double checking works! Thank you Nikki. Any plans to permit us us to create our own templates for the wish list items?
Thank you!! ….. Rick
I am having a hard time getting the plugin to work as well. I have followed the instructions in the readme.txt file, installed the plugin, and using the name of the wish list (wedding) into a normal post, typing [wishlist id=wedding] .
I am using WordPress version 3.2.2. And I would also like to request a reservation button.
Your plugin is really exactly what I am looking for, so I hope that you are able to help me make it work.
The name of the wish list is not the same as the ID. The ID is the number you see in the url of a page/post/custom post type (if you’re using WordPress’ default permalink settings) or in the url when you’re editing.
If, when you clicked on Edit for your wish list, you would go to a page called something like http://example.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=854&action=edit
“post=854″ is what specifies your ID, and that is what you use in the shortcode: [wishlist id=854]
It works! Thank you so much for your help. Is there some way that I can incorporate a check box in the post as well?
I am creating a blog for our upcoming wedding, and would like our guests to be able to check off things along the way..
Thanks again for your help!
