    Any movement on this? Should support tickets be submitted another way? I am now looking to reword some timeline entries to make them more clear, but with over 50 entries clicking one at a time becomes tedious. If there was a way to export, modify, then re-import the data, that would be fantastic!!

    Nevermind! Contacting my hosting service they had activated a new security feature that I was unaware of. We were able to tweak the security feature on the hosting side which allowed the process to start working again.

    I just installed this plugin for the first time on 16 Jun 2014 and the same error is received. WP is reporting the version as v0.1.

    Well I finally got around to creating a child theme, and the site is now using it. I am also now using TinyMCE to custom define some boxes around some text as seen in this post (http://audiodane.dandk.org/preliminary-pmcv1-pricing). I would like to turn this into a drop-down style in the post editor “format” dropdown.

    I have created the child theme and created a small style.css page in that theme to reference the parent. I gather that I add the new style formats here. How do I do that?

    Here is a snapshot of the editor window (http://audiodane.dandk.org/?attachment_id=345) .. I’m wanting to add a style called “boxed” to the dropdown list shown..

    thanks!

    Jose-

    Yes, I am not interested in creating a child theme per se.. I am okay with either creating new styles, or simply embedding the desired css formatting within particular paragraphs. I can see the advantages to both. Styles are probably the better way to go (I always push styles in Word because it makes things more consistent as the document grows). I am glad to hear that custom styles created by a plugin stay with the plugin even if the theme changes. Though I am sure they are also based on parent styles, and if a parent style changes due to a theme change, then I likely need to check all my custom styles as well to ensure they still look the way I’d like them to.

    I suppose I’m after a good style editor, then.. I’ll go start having a look around..

    thanks to everyone for your help so far!

    If I create a custom CSS and then change my theme, does my custom CSS plugin stay or vanish? I suppose a custom CSS may be more “portable” than a child theme, in case I decide to change the theme, right? Or am I mistaken?

    thanks..

    Thanks lettergrade!

    So here’s my next question. Can I create a Child Theme from within WP itself? I am using a hosting service where all I had to do was “create subdomain” and then “install WordPress.” Then I logged into the WP account in the created subdomain and jumped straight into the admin control panel. I didn’t have to mess with anything else. Rather nice, actually.

    So, do I really need to dive down to the guts to do this, or is there a higher level “user friendly” approach?

    I suppose that’s why the other option exists to have a custom css plugin– so that even if my root theme changes, my custom css plugin settings won’t?

    Are there other pros or cons to each approach that I should know about?

    thanks for your reply!
