In reply to: Suggestions for Learning Behind the Scenes ItemsI think I will write an article about theme bloat (tons of scripts and stylesheets), but for now, let’s tackle the issue at hand. Your theme and website are definitely loading a LOT of things…just over 2MB! A big chunk of this is from Google fonts; there’s a lot of them loading. But plugins can also be notorious for loading a lot of scripts too.
If your website needs most if not all of what I see loading, then the best thing is to look into some form of optimization/caching plugin. They can be overwhelming with many options and settings, but the other thing is to cross-fingers that using a plugin like this does not affect the functions of another plugin on your website.
I don’t use any specific caching plugin myself, although in the past I used WP Rocket, my web host is optimized which gives a nice boost. However, I think the best thing to do here is to give you a link to a site that offers a lot of reading, but also offers a lot of good helpful points/solutions that might help. The article is called 24 Tips to Speed up WordPress performance
Try that first and see if their tips help.

In reply to: multisite theme & plugin issueHmmm… could be. I have my network setup on a subdomain, not the primary. I’m thinking of trying the root setup of a network to see how this works out. However, being as you were following the WPMU tutorial, did you see this one from them for mapping?

In reply to: Dashes in front of some and not other page titles.Basically it’s showing that the pages with the dash before each one is a sub-page of the parent one.
Example:
Electronics, Power, and Sensory Systems
– #808 Mini Camera
– Capacitors, Resistors, and SemiconductorsThe first one without a dash is the parent, then the ones with the dashes are subpages of that parent. If you look in the column to the right of the items with dashes, it shows the parent they exist in.
So, on the front of your site, I can go to the Electronics, Power, and Sensory Systems page and the URL looks like this:
http://greenbotdynamics.com/electronicsIf I go to the Capacitors, Resistors, and Semiconductors page, you will see the URL is now showing that page and the parent page it exists in.
http://greenbotdynamics.com/electronics/capacitors-resistors-and-semiconductorsBasically, this structure in the admin area is how it would look whenever you have pages or categories that contain child pages or categories. It’s a visual display showing which ones are sub-pages or categories of the parent they exist in.
In my site, I have my theme documentation set up with a parent category and sub-categories like this:
Theme Documentation (this is the parent category)
– Set Up Amble (a child sub-category)
– Set Up Definite (another child sub-category)So it shows the dashes next to the sub categories.

In reply to: multisite theme & plugin issueHello,
I actually have a multisite (network) setup for my theme demos but know this can be a bit tricky at times. However, just so I get a better picture of things, you have set up your network (multisite) on a subdomain?
But you are wondering about the installation of themes and plugins being available for added “sites” to the network?
When installing a theme or plugin, this is done from the network admin dashboard. For themes, while logged in, you would go to
My Sites >> Network Admin >> Themes
When uploading, you would then Network Enable it. So when you add a site to the network, then go into that site’s dashboard, you would see the theme there and can then activate it for that site.
Plugins are the same but also a bit different. You can Network Enable a plugin, but you can also leave it disabled and then go into the added Site’s dashboard and activate the plugin from there. There may be some plugins that need to be network-enabled, but most can be enabled from each added site’s dashboard. Themes are the ones that must be Network Enabled from the start.
Hopefully, I understood correctly, but if not, let me know.

In reply to: recents posts not picking upThis one, you may want to post to the theme’s support because this sounds like it’s more related to the Blossom Feminine theme. They should be able to help you out there.

In reply to: Extra-Wide Images / Panoramas not Effected by overflow-y:hiddenYou are very welcome 🙂
I just looked at your page, so it appears to be working, at least compared to before. Also, it doesn’t violate any standards; not to worry.
Is it safe to say this issue/topic is resolved?Cheers,

In reply to: How do I stop widgets in pagesI’m just writing an article about how show or hide widgets on select pages, but it also depends if a theme offers a full-width page template. However, I see you are using the Twenty Sixteen theme, which does not offer a full-width page template, otherwise, it would be as simple as changing the template for the page(s). Because this theme has no full-width option, we need to override and change the layout styling for a specific page by adding some custom CSS code to the Additional CSS tab of the customizer.
Basically we will be overriding the theme’s own styling. For your About Page, copy and paste this:
@media screen and (min-width: 56.875em) { .page-id-116 .content-area { float: none; margin-right:0; width:100%; } .page-id-116 aside#secondary { display: none; } }Try this out and see if it works for you.

In reply to: Making Attachment Pages Full-WidthBest if you can provide a link to the page in question and then I can take a quick look at the coding.
One word of caution though, if you edit any theme files and then you update the theme, your changes will be lost. If you need to modify a theme file, it’s recommended to create a child theme. There is even a plugin that can create a child theme.

In reply to: Button ChangeUnfortunately, I cannot see anything as I have to be logged in (is my guess). I don’t see a button on the link you gave me except a login form or register a new account form.
However, a little bit of CSS added to the Additional CSS tab in the customizer might do the trick for you. Ultimately, if you want to hide the button (always), then you would choose the class of the element and do display: none;
Example:
.myclass { display: none; }Be careful though of what buttons you hide because the classes you listed above are global…meaning they are used in other places too. The classes you listed are:
.woocommerce #respond input#submit,
.woocommerce a.button,
.woocommerce button.button,
.woocommerce input.buttonSo, you would need to decide which of those is to be hidden, but also, if it’s for a specific page, look at your source code on the body tag for the page ID or class, and use that with the button class you are hiding.
Example:
.woocommerce-account .woocommerce input.button { display: none; }.woocommerce-account is a class on the body tag of the page you are referencing–where I see the login and register new account page.

In reply to: can’t see preview, at least most of the timeWhen you say preview posts, you mean the main blog home page or the full post?
I just went to your website and I was able to view the blog posts, and did not get any 404 errors show up. Or, are you referring to the admin area and clicking to preview a post?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Hide post title from specific category on index.php onlyIf I understand this correctly, you have a category named “asides” and when someone goes to that category, you want to hide the post intro’s title?
If so and based on your website, this little CSS snippet should work:
.category-asides .entry-title { display: none; }The class category-asides I got from the body tag in your website, and then the class for your post titles is entry-title

In reply to: Extra-Wide Images / Panoramas not Effected by overflow-y:hiddenTried so many things, lol. But, this might work for you as it did on my testing the third image down in your “new page”.
These sets worked:
div.test { overflow-x: auto; display: block; }figure.wp-block-image.test { overflow-x: auto; display: block; }figure.wp-block-image.test.mypanorama { overflow-x: auto; display: block; }figure.wp-block-image.is-resized.test { overflow-x: auto; display: block; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Extra-Wide Images / Panoramas not Effected by overflow-y:hiddenQuick Update. I put your code in my local test site and no scrollbar and the image is fitting 100% in the content container. So, a bit of investigation and I think I know the issue for you…if your theme being used is responsive, it means your theme has something like this in the style.css file:
img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; }So every image will be turned into a responsive image. One way around this is to add a class (example:
.test) to your div or image, and then change the max-width to:.test img { max-width: initial; }**Do this in your Additional CSS tab of the customizer. I did this and it worked for me where I got the scrollbar and was able to slide to view your full image.

In reply to: Extra-Wide Images / Panoramas not Effected by overflow-y:hiddenHow are you adding your code to display this into your WordPress page, and are you using the classic editor or the Gutenberg block editor?
…and by the way, is your image actually 2112px height and 12,784px wide?
