In reply to: [ColorMag] Gap around Menu on Version 3 UpgradeThat’s what I thought. I had to do the top and bottom gaps separately as below.
#cm-header-1 .cm-row { padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 10px; } .cm-content { padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 10px; }Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: CONFUSION Over Tools > Site Health > Sign In dialogThanks for your reply. I just tried it again in Chrome and I know I am logged in because it says “Howdy, [adminuser]” in the upper right corner and I have the Admin menu. I click Site Health and a pop-up told me to “sign in” to the website and shows the root URL only “https :// [mywebsite.com]” and not the WP folder. Image Link.
I just tried it the other way where I opened an Edge browser and pasted in the URL to Site Health without logging in. It took me to the login page and then continued to Site Health. But then again a pop-up appears. This time it says “Sign in to access this site” and “Authorization required by “https :// [mywebsite.com]” Image Link.
Site Health must be “asking” for something that makes my server “nervous” to reveal. I

In reply to: [BlockMeister - Block Pattern Builder] My patterns do not show in wp 6.0Since others using WP 6.0 don’t have the problem, I think it is my WP install that is different. I’m on a Windows IIS host and not LINUX like so many others. Also, my host limits me to PHP 7.4 and I’m sure my version of MySQL is old too. My workaround for now is to copy the Block Patterns from the editor and paste into the post.

In reply to: [BlockMeister - Block Pattern Builder] My patterns do not show in wp 6.0I did the test you asked on another domain with WordPress 6.0 and newly installed and only the BlockMeister plugin active. I was able to get the keywords inserted into the categories but was not able to get a Block Pattern I’d freshly created to be inserted into a new Blog Post. I also had the problem creating new usable Categories. I tried this with Twenty Twenty-Two (latest version) and my standard theme.
Finally, I installed WP Downgrade plugin on the test site and went back to WordPress 5.9.3 (April 5, 2022). I can now see the block patterns again! I can also create my custom categories again. So this is some sort of compatibility issue that happen with WordPress 6.0 release – which is when the problems started. I’m surprised there aren’t others out there with the same problem.

In reply to: [BlockMeister - Block Pattern Builder] My patterns do not show in wp 6.0Thanks for checking into this.
1) Under “Date” they all say “Published” followed by the date. The filter options also says: All (27) | Published (27) | Trash (2)
2) Yes, I entered several keywords with commas in between and hit [Enter] just now and the [Update] button stays dim. If I check the “Categories” boxes and it lights up fine.
By the way, I did some more testing. I select an image from a post and used it to create a new pattern. It shows under Block Patterns as “Published” and went into the default category with the name of the blog. Alas, that category doesn’t show up on the inserter either.

In reply to: [ColorMag] Featured Image in Highlight Posts too Short!PROBLEM SOLVED!
This is what happened. According to the ColorMag Recommend Image Sizes help page:
TG: Featured Category Slider: 800 x 445px.
TG: Highlighted Posts: 392 x 272px.The help file says, “you can upload a larger size in both width and height than the above recommended image size. ColorMag will crop them to the required size and show them to the widget and post listing as necessary.” So I had used the 800 x 445 size on the live blog figuring that was plenty big to crop down to 392 x 272px. But the system didn’t do that. It could see it kept using the original 800 x 445 files and just shrunk them without cropping. This created the gap.
What I did to fix the gap problem was to replace the initial 800x445px featured images with larger ones (from 900px wide to 1600px wide). Now the theme does crop them correctly. I can tell because the images in the highlights block now have an “-392×272.jpg” extension on them that wasn’t there before.
So maybe it is a bug or a documentation problem.

In reply to: [ColorMag] Featured Image in Highlight Posts too Short!Thanks for getting back to me.
I deactivated plug-ins in groups and then opened a new private window after each group to check the site. There was no change in the look of the front page.
Using Chrome Developer Tools I found the <div> with class “front-page-top-section-clearfix” that contains the slider blocks with the problem. I took a screenshot:
For the small featured images on the right-side to be taller the big left side slider has to be smaller. I did a side-by-side comparison between the test site and live site and all the blocks are of the same type between the two sites. There are no options for size of the featured image – just the number of images to show and those are the same.

In reply to: Twitter feed not displaying since 5.9 updateSame problem here. If I go into the WordPress site customize section, right-sidebar, and delete and put back the WordPress Twitter block it shows my recent tweets. After a random interval, it then reverts to a link (“tweets by … “). Oddly, I had set up a test site two weeks ago and it is working fine! Both the live and test site are: “WordPress 5.9.2 running ColorMag theme.”
I’ve tried logging in and out of Twitter and my hosted WordPress site to see if it makes a difference and I don’t see a pattern to this at all!
I tried a plugin “Feed Them … ” and it worked. But when you clicked a tweet it gave a page not found type of error. Another plugin I tried didn’t work at all. As an aside, on the plugins I had to generate some API keys from Twitter — but the WordPress twitter block doesn’t need those to work (when it is working). I assume it has to do with the plugins having more customization features? Anyone know of a simple Twitter plugin I can use in place of the WordPress block?
All the captions on my slide shows are missing after the update. Can I get them back?
