In reply to: [SVG Support] Controlling SVG dimensionsYour plug-in solves the endless problem of pixelated artwork and scalar challenges. I come from the world of print, in which the Moment of Dread commences when the client says, “You need my logo for the brochure? Oh, why not grab it from our website!” If I had a dime for every logo I’ve redrawn in AI, I could retire to the French Riviera.
The white-space issue only crops up if I’ve merged WP header and navigation, and then added the logo to the navigation so it’s part of the menu bar. If I’m adding the logo to a regular header, no problem. (This is in the GeneratePress/GeneratePress Premium theme.) I would suspect some kind of padding, but the white space shows up when I’m trying to add the logo, on the screen on which I’d be cropping it if I could.
I’ve turned off the header/nav merger, so the issue’s moot at this point.
I use the bounding-box trick in AI to control dimensions on artwork for print as well as for online use. The biggest problem I see people run into with the technique is that they forget to override the AI default white fill/black stroke and wonder why there’s an outline around their art. 😉

In reply to: Child-theme post-randomizing PHP interferes with WP Site HealthThank you! I customized this
if (is_page('portfolio')) { ... your other code here }with the page name and used it as a wrapper around the existing code. The Site Health inspector is happy now.
I’m fully familiar with how to check for conflicts. I’ve done it many times. That’s not the issue here, and saying that “…we can imagine that you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts” is condescending and unfair. Besides, I’m running my site on an up-to-date DreamHost server with PHP 7.4, etc., so I already know that my host is not an issue.
I’m simply unwilling to treat any WP plug-in as the tail that wags the dog.
Thank you for offering your assistance.
Sorry, this just isn’t worth it. Too many hoops.
Same result: “Something went wrong while optimizing the SEO data of your site. Please try again later.”

In reply to: [Simple Job Board] Rename “Jobs” pageSorry, but I had to move on. It’s a great plug-in, but it’s not compatible with WP 5.4.2, and I’ve run into too many snags.
I’ll come back and revisit the software if it’s updated.

In reply to: [Simple Job Board] Rename “Jobs” pageJust to clarify: I have changed the following in Settings—
Jobpost Custom Post Type Slug: careers
Job Category Taxonomy Slug: career-category
Job Type Taxonomy Slug: career-type
Job Location Taxonomy Slug: career-locationHowever, the page title is “Jobs,” not “Careers.”

In reply to: [Simple Job Board] Application form does not appear on jobThe application form does appear if the job posting is saved rather than previewed in draft form.
I’d still like to know what the “Expose in Applicant Listing” control does, but I’ll mark this topic as resolved.

In reply to: Can you use Gutenberg blocks w/o the Visual Editor?When you say “Switch to Text mode, and get out,” where’s the option to switch?
That’s the one thing I’m missing.

In reply to: Can you use Gutenberg blocks w/o the Visual Editor?I was going to add a screen shot, but apparently cannot.
The check box in question appears on the WP Profile page:
Visual Editor (Disable the visual editor when writing)If the checkbox is inactive, the VE alters, if not takes over, the display of Classic Editor pages.
If the checkbox is activated, you can use the Gutenberg editor but you cannot actually add/edit anything.
Catch-22

In reply to: Can you use Gutenberg blocks w/o the Visual Editor?The minute you click on the check box to make the Visual Editor active, which you apparently have to do if you want to use any of Gutenberg’s features when you use it to edit a page, then Classic Editor uses the “oldstyle” Visual Editor. I see the typeface switch to Georgia and I know it’s active.
Apparently, one can edit a page/post with Gutenberg even without switching on that check box, but one will be unable to add blocks or otherwise alter the page without switching on that check box. That’s why I’ve avoided Gutenberg heretofore.
That would mean subjecting Classic Editor pages to the Visual Editor’s vagaries if I had to add a word here or there, simply because the Visual Editor was active.
