Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GedShow

Yes, just go to the media browser and delete as usual. It is no longer needed by the plugin.
Yes, just upload it again, the old entries in the plugin database will be deleted and the contents of the uploaded gedcom file will take its place.
Yes, the colour can be changed in the Gedshow Options page and styles can be changed using Custom CSS. The style of the button is dictated by the browser and theme but these can be changed with Custom CSS but may need the !important tag added. I get the error 'You must upload a gedcom file with an extension of ged (in lowercase).' but my file is named correctly. This problem is usually caused by being installed on Wordpress multisite. Please add ged as an allowed extension in Dashboard > Settings > Network Settings > Upload file types.
