In reply to: [Media Library Folders] Not UsefulRight.
The snarky “beg” comment was due to you feeling the need to splash your logo eight lines high across my control panel, unlike most plug-ins who just use a small text message.
As I said, it is awkward to use.
As I said, it does NOT create folders in a place where they appear useful.
It may indeed be useful with the other gallery plug-in you are selling, but it is not promoted as an add-on for your commercial products.
It does indeed create a bunch of sub-folders in the wp-content/uploads folder, but the folders are not accessible or even visible from the upload dialogue of WordPress or any other plug-in I use for media. Media in those folders just shows up with all the other images in the Media Library.
I can access those folders within your plug-in, but if I move any images into those new subfolders, they still just show in the same place in the Media Library. If I select them, the URL shows they are in a subfolder, but if I upload all the images for one post into one of those subfolders, they still just show in the Media Library mixed in with all the other images in the Media Library.
I can simply use my FTP client to do everything this plug-in seems to be doing and take much less time to do it.
Also, to move images in your plug-in’s interface, you need to check them ONE AT A TIME before you can move more than one. I did ask about this in your “support forum” and was just told “oh no, you can’t select multiple images at one time”. This is awkward, slow, and unlike any other windows utility I’ve ever used and unlike the Media Library itself.
I don’t know about everyone else but I use plug-ins partially to save me time. This one has wasted enough of mine now. I would have just let it go, but your plug-in felt the need to pester me for a review so here it is.

In reply to: [Twenty Seventeen] font size different FF / ChromeThanks Andrew. People like you keep projects like WP useful for many people.
I found the source of my “problem”. I had the font size in the settings of Chrome set (and then, I guess synced to the other computer… or vice versa) to something aside from the default size. I went to chrome://settings and in “Appearance” changed that drop-down for Font size from “Custom” to “Medium (Recommended)” and it cleared up.
Thanks again for your attempts to help me with what turns out to just be me making a simple error.

In reply to: [Twenty Seventeen] font size different FF / ChromeThanks for your time on this.
It is a screenshot of the site that the screenshot is on. The issue occurs on every page of the site, whenever that top menu is displayed.
I had tried deactivating plugins before resorting to posting here. Deactivating all the plugins makes no difference, it looks exactly the same with the same problem on every page of the site.
Same issue with Twenty Sixteen although the larger font display with 2016 doesn’t force the menu onto two lines, it just moves the site name and tagline up above the menu in Chrome while it is on the same line with FF.
I hadn’t tried Twenty Sixteen as I don’t really like that theme, but I had tried a few other themes and the problem was never really evident. I really do like the Twenty Seventeen theme though and the whole site was actually put together with that theme. Moving it to another theme means a lot of additional time restructuring a lot of the information unless I can find one with that same front page feature that scrolls through various sections.
Now I just rechecked on my Windows 10 computer. Looking closer it seems that the problem is really not replicated over there. I just had the Chrome window smaller than the FF window. There is an area when the viewing window is just a bit larger than the size where the tablet view kicks in where the menu begins displaying across two lines. I’ll just drop the menu down to less first tier entries to work around the issue for now.
Starting to look like it might be a browser issue on this computer, although I’ve never made any significant changes to Chrome here. I’ll try a reinstall at some point but I have a lot of other work I have to do on that site and some others. I spent most of yesterday wrestling around with this and don’t want to waste another day of my time or any more of your time.
Exasperating. Thanks again for your time but please don’t waste any more of it.

In reply to: [Twenty Seventeen] font size different FF / ChromeOK, while I was double checking the resolution settings it occurred to me that I had the setting to make things (text, etc.) appear larger on the screen set to Medium – 125%. I thought maybe that would be the deal but no, I set it back to 100% and same thing.
It baffles me that you aren’t able to replicate it in Windows 10 when I’m seeing the same exact thing across three monitors and two computers. Weird.
I put a screenshot of the problem up on the site in a post. It is here:
http://wefings.xyz/2018/02/20/boat-listing-2/ (it is not a boat listing). The browser on top is Chrome, the one under it but a little lower is Firefox. You can clearly see the difference, especially if you open the image in a new tab.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Twenty Seventeen] font size different FF / ChromeI’m using 1920 X 1080 on both monitors of the one I’m working on mostly (a Windows 7 Pro computer). Does the same thing on both monitors.
Not sure what the windows 10 computer is running, it’s hooked into my home entertainment system but it does the exact same thing on there as here.

In reply to: [Twenty Seventeen] font size different FF / ChromeI just checked on another (Windows 10) computer. It does the same. Displays the way I want it to in Firefox and Edge but with larger text that I don’t want in Chrome.
And here I thought the days of cross browser compatibility issues were behind us.
Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone might be able to offer.
This is very helpful to others who have the same problem… NOT. What is even the purpose of a thread like this? A question then a post that says “resolved” with no hint of HOW.

In reply to: [UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Was very helpfulBackdraft, Updraft, whatever.
Your willingness to do the same thing with me doesn’t change the fact that a person searching for a solution to this problem, a problem that seems to be happening more than just once or twice, will get a hit for this thread that is marked “Solved” when in fact it does absolutely nothing to help any forum users solve anything.
So now if someone else has the same problem, Jeremy, they are supposed to start all over because you took this to private email and negated the entire purpose of support in a forum.

In reply to: remove label from categories widgetYeah, thanks.
I’ve already applied custom CSS using a child theme to prevent it from displaying. It just seemed like I should have been able to just remove the code that put it in there without even a white space between the unnecessary label and the dropdown once and for all.

Thanks for replying, though.
