 * Hello World
    The theme author is missing in action for months now… I have an 
   issue with my admin menu I had an incompetent designer who hid the agent function
   in my sites dashboard because it was interfering with the plugin I have which
   also has an agent function. Now I need to bring it back but it appears to be 
   disabled. Does anyone know how to re enable it? [Please see attached photo for more details in this link](http://teamac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/issue.jpg)!
   Any help would be amazing. Thanks in advance! Chris

 * Hi Chris,
 * Unfortunately the wordpress.org forum policy doesn’t allow the support of commercial
   products here, and it appears you’re using the commercial theme from ThemeForest.
   You’ll need to ask there again.

 * That guy hasn’t answered any-ones questions in many months Unfortunately. Its
   more of an dash board question than his theme product. Do you have any clues 
   as to where to begin?

 * Sorry, despite appearances, it’s not a dashboard issue, it’s either a theme or
   plugin issue. Unfortunately, code to hide a menu item can reside almost anywhere,
   especially if the dev did not follow the usual protocols for placing custom code.
 * First be sure it’s not just hidden with CSS. Check the page source HTML in your
   browser to see if a link exists. Since it caused a plugin conflict, it probably
   isn’t there, but it’s an easy first check.
 * If you can get terminal access, try using grep to locate “remove_menu_page”. 
   Or download the themes and plugins folders and use any full text search utility.
   Existence of that text is not necessarily the offending code, but it could be.
   Complete lack of this text doesn’t mean anything either, there are “hackier” 
   ways to hide menus, such as commenting out the code that added it in the first
   place.
 * You could try re-installing the plugins and theme from the original downloads,
   but this would also eliminate any “dirty hacks” that may have been added. Proper“
   clean hacks” should be safe, it’s difficult to know which way it was done until
   it’s too late — so backup everything before making more changes!

 * My site is [teamac.ca](http://teamac.ca)
    The issue I need to fix is that these
   agent buttons go nowhere when [I click on them ](http://teamac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/agents.jpg)
 * I found a file called block-agentlistings it contained this code
 * Contained in: public_html/wp-content/themes/shandora/templates/blocks
 *     ```
       <?php 
   
       $args = array(
       	'posts_per_page'	=> 48,
       	'post_type'			=> 'listing',
       	'post_status'		=> 'publish',
       	'paged'				=> $paged,
       	'meta_query'		=> array(
       		array(
       			'key' => bon_get_prefix() . 'listing_agentpointed',
                   'value' => serialize(array(strval($post->ID))),
                   'compare' => '=',
       		)
       	)
       );
   
       $agent_query = new WP_Query($args);
   
       if($agent_query->have_posts()) : $compare_page = bon_get_option('compare_page'); ?>
   
       <ul class="listings <?php shandora_block_grid_column_class(); ?>" data-compareurl="<?php echo get_permalink($compare_page); ?>">
   
       <?php
       	while($agent_query->have_posts()) : $agent_query->the_post();
   
       		$status = shandora_get_meta($post->ID, 'listing_status');
       	    $bed = shandora_get_meta($post->ID, 'listing_bed');
       	    $bath = shandora_get_meta($post->ID, 'listing_bath');
       	    $lotsize = shandora_get_meta($post->ID, 'listing_lotsize');
       	 	$sizemeasurement = bon_get_option('measurement');
   
       	 	$view = isset( $_GET['view'] ) ? $_GET['view'] : 'grid';
   
       		$li_class = '';
       	    if( ($agent_query->current_post + 1) == ($agent_query->post_count) ) {
       ```
   
 * Its slightly different than the code found in the original files when you download
   the theme found here:
 *     ```
       <?php 
   
       $args = array(
       	'posts_per_page'	=> 48,
       	'post_type'			=> 'listing',
       	'post_status'		=> 'publish',
       	'paged'				=> $paged,
       	'meta_query'		=> array(
       		array(
       			'key' => bon_get_prefix() . 'listing_agentpointed',
                   'value' => serialize(array(strval($post->ID))),
                   'compare' => '=',
       		)
       	)
       );
   
       $agent_query = new WP_Query($args);
   
       if($agent_query->have_posts()) : $compare_page = bon_get_option('compare_page'); ?>

 * Is this code relevant to my issues you think?
    I couldnt find remove_menu_page
   If I cancel and re install it will take away a few thing that this designer put
   though
 * Thanks for your help

 * That code appears to be for displaying listings related to a particular agent.
   It might be for where you want the links to go, but not for the initial links
   themselves.
 * You need to find the template that outputs the agent images and the subsequent
   social links. It should be in your active theme’s folder. The images need to 
   be wrapped in anchor tags where the href attribute leads to where ever the link
   should take you. I can’t be more specific without seeing the template code for
   these images.

    Your too kind Due to my lack of knowledge, 
   my previous designer willing to help(without a fee, and I would let her in to
   touch it either) and the theme author not answering his forum questions for months.
   I decided to use the few skills I do have, photoshop and basic html 🙂 I did 
   a code with a simple text widget and came up with a solution however [if you see it the social icons here are vertical](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-menu-5/teamac.ca?output_format=md)
   and I tried a series of codes to force them to the same line with no luck Do 
   you know how I can rectify this issue? Sorry to change directions but I just 
   gotta solve it to the best of my abilities 😉 Thanks again Chris
 * The code I have used is this:

 * I tried `<oi><li>` with addition css and html that I was successful with before
   in cf7 forms, Ive tried `<p>` and a few other things

 * I’m sorry you’re in such a predicament. I do understand how it happens and the
   need for any workable solution at all. Your approach is sound – use the tools
   you know and make it work somehow. Improvements can come later.
 * Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to easily get CSS to conform to my will. 
   I’ve resorted to simply trying things until something works. I’d suggest putting
   the links and images all in a single container. `<ul><li>` with the list style
   removed is quite common. A simple `<div>` could work too. Assign a class so you
   can apply CSS with the dot selector, maybe `.social a {position: relative; float:
   left;}` for starters.
 * I think float left is key to getting things to stack horizontally. Then locate
   the outer container relative to the agent images. If you haven’t done so already,
   take advantage of your browser’s developer tools to help you examine and test
   out various CSS rules, it’s much faster than the typical edit/save/reload cycle.
 * If you can post a working link to your test page I might be able to help more—
   or not, no promises! In the mean time, good luck.

   spaces is what did it?!?!?!?
    Thanks so much for all your help! Your a good person
   Happy coding!
