Hi,
Thanks Denzel. I tried my local test site and it seems to work, so I’m thinking it may be something on my host. I’m also getting the “webpage is not redirecting properly” message, but I don’t know what would cause this.

Do you know why a message like this would be displayed or how I might be able to fix it? I had not received the message before, it must have happened within the past few weeks. Should I contact my host about this issue?

Thanks for your assistance, I really appreciate it!

I’m using a slightly different comment format for my site, so they’re actually both set up the same. I can’t figure out why one would display the Disqus comment count format and the other would show numbers only. I asked on the Disqus forums to see what they have to say about it. If I figure anything out, I’ll post back here.

Awesome, I tried the 2nd option and that did the trick @bdbrown! Thanks!

Hi mehrdads,
I tried both codes, but neither seems to change the hover color.

I think the issue here is something with the Disqus code or how it’s being implemented within the site. I’ll continue researching to see what I can find.

Once I installed Disqus on my site, the rest of the comment links were updated automatically to display the Disqus style comment count. I just can’t figure out why the comment count area on my Posts only show numbers and not the full Disqus comment link (with the word Comment). I even changed the default value for 0 comments to “Leave a Comment”. On my main page, any post with 0 comments displays “Leave a Comment”. On my Post pages, however, it still displays just a 0. Not sure why this would be happening.

Okay, it looks like it’s finally working. Initially I thought I needed to copy the init-core.php file to my child theme. I tried that, but it didn’t work. I then re-read your message and thought maybe I needed to paste the code into functions.php. That did the trick. Thank you so much!

Just came across a slight issue with this solution. While it does work perfectly for the categories that have images, those that do not (including tags and users) show a blank, ‘image missing’ square.

I was wondering if there was a way to hide the image box area for archive pages that do not have an image in the Images folder? For example, my major Categories all have images set up for them the way you described above. But if someone clicks on a different Archive page, such as a tag or user name, no image shows up and in it’s place is a “missing image” box.
It would be too difficult to set up an image for every single page that has an Archive. It would be easier to simply hide the Image area if no image was found.

If this can’t be done or is too complicated, I have a solution that I believe should work. For the few Categories I need images for, I could just make a specific Archive page for them (i.e. category-news.php) and use the above code. For the standard archive.php file, I’ll just change it back normal. It’ll still take a little effort any time I need to create a new Category since I’ll have to create a new custom php file as well as upload an image to the Images folder, but I can live with that. Just curious if the other way might be possible.

Thanks!

I finally got around to checking to see what was causing the issue with the Open/Close icons not showing up. I disabled all my plugins to see if they might be the cause. Once I did that, I checked and, sure enough, the sidebar Open/Close icons for mobile displays worked. I then activated each plugin individually to see which was causing the problem. The culprit? Twitch Status (https://wordpress.org/plugins/twitch-status/).

Here’s my dilemma: My website is a gaming site. A big part of our operation is Twitch. I really like having the Twitch Status widget so viewers know when we’re streaming live. Any ideas how I can keep the widget -and- get the Font Awesome icons on the mobile sidebar to function properly? Thanks!
