Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Missing WP core stylesJose, thanks for responding. Deactivating all plugins was the first test that Woo Themes and I tried. They are deactivated to this day.
We tried installing 2016, the default theme, this screen snap shows what 2016 styles are supposed to look like. 2016 was installed on a fresh install of WP on another site. http://cld.wthms.co/ymKR/4imFHnFi.
Then we tried installing 2016 on my offending site. This was the result. http://cld.wthms.co/19muA/4c6fdlZN. All but one style is gone.
My offending site was originally created in 2011 by a developer at a reputable company in Salt Lake. The developer did a lot of CSS work to give me a “skin” on the site was pretty incredible but not mobile friendly. That is why I am trying to replace the theme with Woo Themes Canvas theme.
This is an extract from the developers primary CSS file. Note the first command which appears to be a total reset of all existing styles. This file resides in the WP-Content/themes folder structure of the theme which I am trying to replace.
WARNING! THIS IS A COPY OF STYLE.CSS. DO NOT EDIT STYLE.CSS. EDIT THIS FILE.
To make it easy to update your theme, you should not edit the styles in this file. Instead use
the custom.css file to add your styles. You can copy a style from this file and paste it in
custom.css and it will override the style in this file. You have been warned! 🙂*/
/* Default styles */
@import “css/reset.css”;The reset.css file resides in WP-Content/Themes/Offending theme name/css. Inside, the file first gives credit to it’s author ./* http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ | v1.0 | 20080212 */. And yes, Eric is still doing his thing at meyerweb. I hold this file suspect.

In reply to: Posts selection absent from admin barResolved. Plugin conflict caused this. Plugin = Social Trap 1.0 by Mehdi Tihani. Deactivate the plugin and your Posts selection returns to the Admin Bar.

In reply to: Corrupted Comment DB dataYou are 100% correct. The best way to solve a problem is to break it down into its parts and reassemble.
However, before doing that, I would like to follow the evidence that I am seeing and see where it leads. Let’s close this issue for now while I do that. When all else fails, we’ll tear the site down.

In reply to: Corrupted Comment DB dataThinking a bit more about this problem – I use no plugins related to Comments. Suspect plugins that would touch comments are Akismet and WP Super Cache.
I’ve had a problem for several months with slow SQL queries. Virtually ALL of the slow queries are for Akismet or updates to the comment DB. An SQL INSERT into the wp_comments DB takes 8.5 seconds. Example where Akismet took 16 seconds to update the spam count.

In reply to: Corrupted Comment DB dataWow. That’s a pretty tall order. This is a pretty tightly strung Woo Theme that doesn’t tolerate tweaking very well. And the plugins are numerous.
Tell me this. From looking at the code above, what is it? Plain vanilla HTML? php? css? DB related code? A mixture of all these? I have suspected for some time that my comment DB is corrupt and needs the intervention of an SQL expert. I clean it daily with the “Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions” version 2.6 by CAGE Web Designs. Would upgrading to WP v3.6 be advisable? Been wanting to do that.
I neglected to post a link to the site earlier. http://scottalanreed.com.

In reply to: Corrupted Comment DB dataOne other thing – the bogus code at the end of the e-mail address in a comment is not visible until you perform a Quick Edit. Once you select Update Comment, the code becomes visible in the right pane of the comment.

In reply to: Phantom Post in SERPSHi Gabe,
Since this phantom post is obviously not something that I created, and it’s a poor excuse for a post anyway, I want IT to go away. Since it is not in my WP admin, and I have no idea what created it, there is not much that I can do about it. That’s why I was acquiring if there were options or if others have seen this happen on their site.
Visibility to Google AND visitors needs to stop. More and more visitors are using this bogus post to enter my site. They leave some great comments on other posts. But those comments go to their point of entry for some reason. So if they entered the site via the phantom post, I don’t approve the comments. I don’t want anymore content on that phantom page. Does that help? I don’t want Google to index it, I don’t want surfers to see it. I don’t know what created it. I’d like to cut it loose from my site. That may not be possible.

In reply to: [NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster] Not posting to FacebookSo if I understand this stream correctly, and if I read the FB instructions correctly, posts to FB do NOT go to the community app page that you created? They will go wherever you tell them to go such as a profile or fan Page?
The community page seems to have no purpose other than allowing you to create the app in the first place. (which is typical of FB)

In reply to: Post slideshow plugin?Yes, the WooTheme called “Coda” has a very nice, flexible slider that will show photos featured in posts that are tagged. The Coda theme is primarily a magazine theme that has other desirable features. It’s a premium theme. But I’ve seen some 50% off coupons floating around. Just Google Woo Themes.
If you don’t wish to buy a premium theme, there is also a slider available in the plugins directory. Seach plugins for the work slider.
Hope this helps.
