In reply to: [Multiple Themes] X-Theme and BeTheme not working togetherBecause BeTheme is a Paid Theme, I’m not able to test it on my Test Systems to try and re-create your problem.
But, running Firebug (browser Firefox debug tool) says that http://www.springleap.com/blog/ is dynamically going after http://www.springleap.com/blog/undefined/ which gives a 404 Page Not Found. Why that is, I do not know.
This is only a guess, but the first thing I suggest checking is that your Theme Selection setting in my plugin is a URL Prefix, not just a URL, for http://www.springleap.com/blog/
Please let me know if that solves it or not. I can explore some other ideas, if not.

In reply to: WordPress websiteTo state the obvious: WordPress doesn’t do that “out of the box”.
I would start by looking through the Plugin Directory: https://wordpress.org/plugins
and getting used to searching it, if you haven’t already.Here are two plugins that I found in a quick search:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/dokan-lite/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wc-vendors/Similarly, it would be worth a Google search for any articles/advice on the subject.

In reply to: [My Private Site] Register email wrong redirectI haven’t tested this, but my first inclination would be to change the URL slightly for the “Visit Site” link, so that it differs from the URL they would have visited before they logged on.
Since this is the home page, you might try its alternate URL and see if that works. For example, if your home page is a WordPress Page with a slug of /abc/ then try http://example.com/abc instead of http://example.com
If that doesn’t solve the problem, try adding a meaningless query, like http://example.com?logged=in

In reply to: [My Private Site] Register email wrong redirectYes, that is most likely a Browser Caching issue. In other words, their browser has “seen that URL before”, so presents the same content as last time, not realizing that it has changed.
The “Refreshing works” is the strong indication that it is the Browser’s Caching at fault….
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: my site still says under developmentThis is usually a web hosting “issue”. Many hosting companies put an index.html or similar file as a placeholder on your web hosting account.
WordPress uses index.php as its file, and nearly all web hosts look first for an .html or .htm file before looking for index.php.
Simply find and delete (or rename to perhaps original.html) the index.html file and WordPress should become visible, if you installed it to the right place.

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Menu's combined in second themGreat News! And great idea about adding that info to the Theme Options tab.
As a programmer (beginning in 1971), I strongly suspect that the 10 line menu problem was created by a bug (in the Storefront theme or WordPress itself) that was triggered during the addition or removal or the image (logo pic you mention in your first post). But I’m only guessing.
I was hesitant to start wading into the WordPress database, as I am not familiar with how WordPress actually stores Theme Options. I’ve tried to keep a narrow focus with my plugins, or they just become too much to support for an old retired computer guy like me.
Again, I am so glad that you were able to resolve this problem!

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Menu's combined in second themI was going to suggest that you post your question in the Storefront support forum, but I see that you already have.
I also see that the response you received was not as definite as it could have been, because of the involvement of my plugin. I think it wise to confirm the multi-line menu behaviour with my plugin deactivated and Storefront activated as your Theme through WordPress Appearance-Themes.

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Menu's combined in second themSorry that I missed the Theme in the WordPress Directory: probably a typo in my Search. https://wordpress.org/support/theme/storefront is definitely the right place to go if this ends up being a Theme issue, rather than an issue with my plugin.
“Select Theme for Everything” is in the Advanced Settings, because it can cause problems with certain Themes, though I haven’t had any reports of problems in the last couple of years. But it still makes sense to try not using that Setting just long enough to test and make sure that your error still happens.
Other than that, my previous post about covers what I know at this point. I do hope you are able to get it resolved.
Due to time zone differences, this is probably the last that you will hear from me this evening my time, as it is getting pretty late.

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Menu's combined in second themI was not able to re-create the problem on my test system, but I suspect the following will resolve your problem, as there does not appear to be a way to change Menus in Live Preview with this Storefront theme.
I would recommend that you Activate the Storefront theme through the WordPress Admin panel Appearance-Themes menu item. That will give you access to Menus (and possibly Widgets) where you should be able to delete or change the lengthy Menu that you have now.
Once you are done, you should be able to Activate your other Theme.
If you do not wish to display Storefront “everywhere” on your site while you are making the changes, or want full access to Storefront theme options for an extended period of time, you can use my plugin’s Advanced Settings “Select Theme for Everything”, setting it to your other Theme.
I’m not an expert on Themes, and Storefront is not in the WordPress Plugin Directory, so, if you need help with setting Storefront’s theme options, I would suggest that you explore the Support options on the theme’s home page: http://www.woothemes.com/storefront/
And, lastly, if you run into more conflicts between your two themes, you may have to consider a WordPress Network, AKA Multisite, with your second Site just for WooCommerce. With some care, and manual menu building, you should end up with what looks like a single web site, but is actually two WordPress Sites in a Network. That eliminates my plugin and any issues related to the fact that the WordPress Core was NOT build with multiple themes in mind.

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Menu's combined in second themOK, I’m back now, and can see the problem on your site. I’ll report back as soon as I can.

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Menu's combined in second themI will be back at my desk in 90 minutes and can test then.
You may want to check/clear Caching, both by plugins and your browser.

In reply to: White screen of deathFirst thing I always recommend for WSOD (White Screen of Death) is setting WP_DEBUG to TRUE in wp-config.php. That usually will display some error messages instead of a blank white screen.

In reply to: I have just purchased Moesia Pro and it wont upload to importsAs explained here, we just can’t properly support Paid Themes like Moesia Pro here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products
You will need to get your support from whoever you purchased Moesia Pro from. Support is part of what you paid for.

In reply to: Trading original and vanity URLsYes, your plan is risky. Because Hosting and Redirection can be set up in so many different ways, it is impossible to predict. Plus, as a plugin author, I can say that one of my plugins might even stop working in this scenario.
The safest way to figure out how to do this is to set up a second, test WordPress site in a subdirectory off your main site’s directory. Content on that site can be minimal. Then try out different approaches, and see what works.
At a minimum though, please read the relevant parts of this documentation:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPressTo state the obvious: you would save yourself a lot of grief, if the “nice domain name” could be hosted by your web host exactly where your web site now resides.

In reply to: [My Private Site] No Custom Login Redirect – BuddyPress not HiddenMore for anyone else reading this, than for you, i.e. – I agree with your decision to abandon my plugin, I just wanted to say that if someone decided that they did want to get my plugin working “no matter what it takes” in your environment, the only sensible approach would appear to be building a test site from scratch, installing one component at a time until things start failing, in an attempt to identify which component triggers the problem. With my plugin being the first plugin installed.
Again, I completely understand what you are facing, and appreciate your interest in my plugin, but totally agree with your decision to not use it.
