In reply to: Broken links using atomic blocks themeChoosing a new theme, it would be better if I could use “Font Awesome” icons. I only use five of them for constructing feedback cycle diagrams within tables. (I have many feedback cycles throughout my website.)
https://fontawesome.com/v5/search?o=r
Does the Ninito Sans font offer arrows that I could use: left, right, up, down and at least one rotating arrow? Here is a page showing how I use them.
https://www.feedbackreigns.net/about-2/viewing-hints/
This is Font Awesome version 5.
Right, left, up and down arrows
<i class=”fas fa-long-arrow-alt-right”></i>
<i class=”fas fa-long-arrow-alt-left”></i>
<i class=”fas fa-long-arrow-alt-up”></i>
<i class=”fas fa-long-arrow-alt-down”></i>
The only free clockwise turning arrow
<i class=”fas fa-level-down-alt”></i>

In reply to: Broken links using atomic blocks themeThose questions are resolved. Once again, thanks.
Looks like I need to (1) identify a suitable theme that allows me to use the same version of Font Awesome fonts, and (2) study how to make the transition.

In reply to: Broken links using atomic blocks themeHello Threadi and Jitendra Kumawat,
Thank you so much for getting back to me so fully and promptly.
I have edited my footer and the broken link to the atomic blocks site is no longer there. Fixed.
You ask if there are other broken links. The link checker did pick up three other "404 not found" links that I do not understand. This may be more of a question for Dr Link Check, but if you know what this means could you let me know.

In reply to: Move an icon down slightly in a tableThanks and apologies. I needed to be more clear. The free Awesome Fonts curved arrow goes “left and then right”. I now know how to rotate this free curved arrow using CSS, but it seems that if I rotate the free arrow to get a “left and up arrow” then my whole website can only use that “left and up arrow”. And I want to use all four clockwise arrows in one diagram. Is there some magic that can allow me to use all four arrows in the one diagram?

In reply to: Move an icon down slightly in a tableHere is a next level miracle request. At first I thought I only needed one clockwise arrow, but I now realise I need all four. Based on the single free Awesome Font right-down arrow, can I also generate and use on one diagram (1) down-left, (2) left-up, and (3) up-right arrow. You can see the diagrams I need on the same webpage: https://www.feedbackreigns.net/about-2/viewing-hints/

In reply to: Move an icon down slightly in a tableThank you. That worked perfectly.
To use this arrow in the bottom left cell, I have now used
.fas.fa-level-down-alt {
display: inline-block;
transform: translateX(0px) translateY(-10px) rotate(180deg); }
.
To get into my CSS code i used
WordPress > Dashboard > Appearance > Customise > Additional CSS
Add new CSS > Click publish
Thanks so much. Brilliant.

In reply to: Using a table to show feedback loopsI would like to make one of these feedback diagrams into a reusable block so that I can easily create new diagrams, however, when I try to define one as a reusable block, I get an error message
“The editor has encountered an unexpected error: attempt recovery, copy post text or copy error.”This happens when I try to make a reusable block from the “table with awesome font arrows” at the bottom of page
https://www.feedbackreigns.net/about-2/viewing-hints/This also happens when I try to make a reusable block from the “table with gift arrows” at the bottom of the same page
I can make a “plain text box” a reusable block.
I think this started ages ago when I deleted a table that I had earlier defined as a reusable block.
I’m not sure if this should be a separate post.

In reply to: Using a table to show feedback loopsI’ve tried something different for a two-item feedback loop – and struck a problem.
See the “fascination-knowledge feedback loop” at the bottom of page:
https://www.feedbackreigns.net/about-2/viewing-hints/I loaded images like arrow-left.gif which is under 1 KB.
I could not find how to insert them directly into the table, so I created an image block outside the table and then copied the image block into the table cell.The trouble is that the gif has a white background, but the table has a different background colour. And I do not know what the background colour of the table is. If I knew the table background colour as then perhaps I could edit my gif files.
The awesome fonts may have clockwise icons for all four corners, but they are paid for icons.
Dashicons has a down and left arrow (the carriage return icon). It is a clockwise arrow that I could use on all four corners – if the icon could be rotated. (I could work out how to use Dashicons)
The awesome fonts arrows are working well for 4 item loops and 6 item loops on

In reply to: Using a table to show feedback loopsHi George
I hope you were able to enjoy your life circles.
I have been experimenting with those awesome fonts arrows at the bottom of page:
https://www.feedbackreigns.net/about-2/viewing-hints/The most important thing for me is to know what goes between the <td> and </td>. Following your code, I think it will neater than I suggested above, i.e.
<td><p><i class=”fas fa-long-arrow-alt-left” style=”font-size:50px;” ></i></p> </td>The name of my site is feedback-reigns so these diagrams and their arrows are important to me, Thanks again.

In reply to: Using a table to show feedback loopsGeorge, On your above feedback loop diagram, the arrows are just the right size. I looked at the HTML code of this page hoping to see (1) how big you had made the arrows and (2) how you had coded it – but it’s an image. Could you let me know how I could duplicate this? So good. Thanks again.

In reply to: Using a table to show feedback loopsI got it bigger with
<!– wp:paragraph –>
<p><p style=”font-size:50px;”> <i class=”fas fa-long-arrow-alt-left”></i></p></p>
<!– /wp:paragraph –>WordPress put the extra <p> … </p> around the above
I fumbled my way to this. Can it get simpler?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Using a table to show feedback loopsI’ve just noticed that in your above diagram you have one big arrow. when I use the above code I get small arrows. That will be fine, I can use say three of these to make one right arrow. Is there a way in the html that I can increase the size of these arrows? I’ll try
<font size=”+2″>This is bigger text.</font>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Using a table to show feedback loopsHi George
This is totally fantastic. Thanks.
For ages, I just assumed I would have to get by with my ugly use of minus signs etc. I’m so glad I put the question here. I’m amazed that George found out what my theme was and that it supported awesome fonts.
I opened my page in the visual editor.
In my table, where I wanted a left arrow, I typed “left arrow”, so I could find it easily in my html code
Then I opened the code editor and found the table data <td>left arrow</td>
I replaced td>left arrow</td> with
<td><p><i class=”fas fa-long-arrow-alt-left”></i> <i class=”fas fa-long-arrow-alt-left”></i></p> </td>
In the visual editor it looks like there is nothing there, but after saving the page and viewing, there are two left arrows.Perfect

In reply to: what forum for help w using wordpressI have not been clear enough. I went to
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/forums/This page shows a forum for:
Installing WP: Not suitable: I am not installing.
Fixing WP: Not suitable: WP is not causing problems.
Developing with WP: I did post this query, and another question about tables, even though it does not seem suitable as I am not a “developer”. I do not develop websites for others, just for myself, and I have a question about a standard WP feature.
Networking WP: Not suitable
Accessibility: not suitable
Localhost installs: Not suitable.
Everything else: This looked promising, but when I looked further, it was not suitable.
Requests and feedback: I do not have a feature request – Oh, what I am doing here is feedback about the difficulty of working out where to post a query.
Alpha Beta: Not suitable.
Themes and plugins: Not relevant.Question: Where should I post? Is the developing with WP the place to posts because I am developing my own website?
Feedback: making this decision should be easy.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [LiteSpeed Cache] LiteSpeed Forced Caching QuestionsThanks all. Seems that I cannot do it using forced cache. Defeated again!
Now I’m thinking of using a DOS batch file like:
C:\Program Files (x86)>start firefox.exe https://www.mysite.com/page1
Sleep 10
TASKKILL /IM firefox.exe /F
Sleep 5
C:\Program Files (x86)>start firefox.exe https://www.mysite.com/page2
Sleep 10
TASKKILL /IM firefox.exe /For just opening several pages by hand
Even though these options will inflate my site statistics.
