I don’t want my site looking terrible for a long period of time. Do you need me to switch to the child theme in order to make any comments? I can do that if it helps. * Thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Collapse-O-Matic] Some shortcode-wrapped text disappearing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/some-shortcode-wrapped-text-disappearing/) * Thread Starter [auoconnell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/auoconnell/) * (@auoconnell) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/some-shortcode-wrapped-text-disappearing/#post-3552491) * Thanks, it looks like one of the solutions in the other threads has done the trick!

I created a folder under wp-content/themes for my child theme. The folder name has no spaces in it. The folder contains a file named style.css which contains the following code: * /* Theme Name: Twenty Twelve Child Theme URI: [http://alexoconnell.com/](http://alexoconnell.com/) Description: Child Theme for Twenty Twelve Author: auoconnell Author URI: [http://alexoconnell.com/](http://alexoconnell.com/) Template: twentytwelve Version: 0.1 */ * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../twentytwelve/style. css”); * It’s not importing, however.

The other expand/collapse elements remain separate. All code & HTML (from what I can see in the text editor) is identical in all instances. * The shortcode I am using is what I found on the plugin directory page: * [expand title=”trigger text”]hidden content[/expand] * Is there a reason this shortcode could behave differently, although what I can see of the surrounding code/HTML is the same? * I apologize if I am asking basic questions… trying to sort through what I don’t know! * Cheers, Alex * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [how can I center page titles in 2011 theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-center-page-titles-in-2011-theme/) * Thread Starter [auoconnell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/auoconnell/) * (@auoconnell) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-center-page-titles-in-2011-theme/#post-2927047) * It does indeed – thanks! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [how to remove default text in contact form fields in theme 2011](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-default-text-in-contact-form-fields-in-theme-2011/) * Thread Starter [auoconnell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/auoconnell/) * (@auoconnell) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-default-text-in-contact-form-fields-in-theme-2011/#post-2896647) * Thanks Adam, you were right.
