As always, you are the best. Thank you – this answered my question and helped me resolve my issue. Your quick reply is much appreciated.

Thank you but the file browser plugin hasn’t been updated since 2010 so this is not the way I want to handle this. I need the author to step up and provide clear instructions for how to remove this plugin. Not being able to delete a plugin is unacceptable.

That’s good to know. Maybe the child theme is the culprit then. I just looked under Appearance \ Themes and it does appear that the child theme (listed as “Travelify Child”) is marked as active. Interestingly, the theme listed as “Travelify” is actually the one that says the update is available but that one is not activated (presumably because the child theme is). It seems like the child is indeed the one that is active though because the change you will see in the child .css below removes all text under the featured slider on the home page (otherwise, it kept inserting a comments box and wanting to include posts there so we Balint Toth and I worked to get that code update made and it is still working well). Here’s all I have in the child theme:

As I feared, I can’t make it work. If you have time to help, here’s my follow-up question:

In my child theme style.css, do I just insert this block at the end and make the changes to the hex code and save or is it more complicated than that? When I put this into my .css at the bottom, modified it and clicked “Update File,” I did not see any changes on the refreshed site even though I did get the message “File Updated Successfully” on the WordPress Appearance \ Editor screen.

#site-description {
font: 14px helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 20px;
color: #999;
font-weight: 200;
}

Thank you for any ideas you may have time to share.

Thanks so much to you both! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you! As a beginner, I was still able to follow these instructions and as you mentioned, it does work perfectly now. I appreciate the support you and others have provided promptly in these forums. Love the theme and have credited it in my FAQ as well. Cheers!

Thank you for clarifying that this unrelated to the update! It’s probable just a timing coincidence. Thank you for also confirming that my main theme is up to date. I can easily ignore the WordPress reminder to update the child theme because I’m guessing it never get/needs updates pushed anyway.

On the featured slider options within Travelify, I verified that the “disable slider” option is not selected. I double checked that all 7 slides are identified correctly with valid post numbers specified in the options area. The “exclude slider from homepage posts” does have a checkmark on it but that’s because I do not use any homepage posts so I think that is functioning correctly.

ON the potential interaction with the active Cyclone Slider 2 plugin that generates short code to include on individual pages, I do not see any obvious settings that would be conflicting with the Travelify featured slider. Is there any code that I could include in a child theme by any chance that could ensure that the Travelify featured slider take precedence on the home page to override anything that might be happening behind the scenes? I’m really a beginner so I’m just guessing right now. Any ideas you can offer would be much appreciated.
