In reply to: Large gap under main navigationLooks like it is css on your hands
.global_content_wrapper has margin-top: 70px; which accounts for some of the gap.
.entry-content has margin-top: 35px; which accounts for some more.
Inside .content_wrapper there’s an empty <p> element, which adds another 20px; (you could get around this issue by adding p:empty { display: none; } to your css. Or remove the <p>, of course)
Then there’s .empty_separator, which looks like it’s acting almost like a <hr />, except it has no distinguishable colour, as well as having margin-top: 20px; and margin-bottom: 20px

In reply to: Broken Thumbs then whole shop not showingIs WooCommerce still deactivated? I can see WooCommerce on-page css, but no body classes. If it isn’t, could you try reactivating it?

In reply to: Drop Down Menu does not work in WP 3.9.1The drop downs work for me on http://www.cha-chachic.com.
On http://www.johnwallickjewelers.com however, the issue may be because there are a lot of console errors indicating missing javascript resources:

In reply to: Drop down menu disappears on select in Google ChromeI can reproduce what you’re describing, though I have to purposefully place my mouse cursor to do so.
I believe it’s because there is a gap between where the main menu item hover area is and where the sub menu appears. If your mouse cursor is in that “empty” area (as it were), it no longer detects you being active with that link and sub menu.
If the css were to be edited so the sub menus were nudged up a little closer I think that should solve it!

In reply to: Website showing database errorJust to clarify.
Your domain is with GoDaddy, your files are hosted with Hostgator.If that’s the case…when you uploaded the files to HostGator, did you also export your WP database from GoDaddy, create a new one with HostGator and import the aforementioned database?
“Error establishing a database connection” usually happens when the credentials in the wp-config.php file are incorrect. If the database doesn’t exist on HostGator, that could easily be the source of your problem.

In reply to: Correspondence going to old emailSo there are two plugins: ContactMe (http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-contactme/) and Contact Me (http://wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-contact-me/); I’m not sure which one you’re using. But I’ve just had a look at both, and they both have settings pages located within the Settings Dashboard area.
Contact Me has an :E-mail for notifications” field at the top list of editable options.
ContactMe does have form settings, though I don’t see an option to change who the email gets sent to.

In reply to: Correspondence going to old emailDo you know what’s sending the emails? If it’s a contact form plugin (Gravity Forms, for example), that could be using a separate email than the site’s email address in General Settings.

In reply to: How to write a page not published in the header ?If you’re comfortable going into the php files of your theme/child theme to make edits, then give me a link to your site and I can whip up some code.
If you’re not comfortable, I’d suggest using a plugin instead.

In reply to: How to write a page not published in the header ?Generally speaking, this depends on the theme you’re using. Most themes these days have custom menus enabled (from the Dashboard, hover on Appearances and select Menus). If you have header and footer menu locations set up, there you can completely customise what appears where.

In reply to: Links in titles to sample postsIn your index.php you’ll want to find the part where it says:
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
and then change it to this:
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1></a>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Links Gone in DashboardI think it was just a feature that wasn’t being used much anymore. And as Andrew Nacin put it, to reduce UI bloat.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Links Gone in DashboardIf you’re referring to the Links Manager that appeared in the side menu of the back end, it was removed in 3.5 for new installations: http://codex.wordpress.org/Links_Manager
This will work at bringing it back, just put it into your functions.php
add_filter( 'pre_option_link_manager_enabled', '__return_true' );And there’s also a plugin that’ll do it: http://wordpress.org/plugins/link-manager/

In reply to: commentsAre they definitely comments, or could they be trackbacks?
You could try removing <?php comments_template(); ?> from your single.php. I’m not sure it would help, but I have seen in the past that somehow some bots will make a comment even when comments are disable.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: List categories as text in a headline, with commasYou could add the commas with css instead of php.
If the count is greater than one, wrap each category in a span, and remove the comma output. Then add the commas in with css like so:
h4 span:after { content: ", "; } h4 span:last-of-type:after { display: none; }Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Icon in menuYou could try this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-image/ I’ve used it on a project recently and it works well.
Or you could use css to put a background image on the menu item in question using a :before or :after psuedoclass.
