    Thanks, that’s good to know.

    Unfortunately it didn’t have any affect. Can you suggest any next steps?

    Regarding the first one, I don’t want the links in the main navigation or headers like the titles of blog posts to be underlined. We do want the links for contact (like the phone number in a sidebar widget) and those placed in the main body copy to be underlined. Actually, the other links in the blog content aren’t needed either. It’s just the ones that we need to have stand out because they are not where links are necessarily expected. Is that more clear?

    What might be better would be to circle back to my original approach of assigning a class. I switched strategies because I wasn’t able to craft one that was successful at overriding the defaults.

    Mission accomplish on #2. Thank you

    #3 is along the lines of what I expected and is reassuring. Thanks again.

    I have also tried pasting the entire contents of the jqueryuicss.css file into the CSS for my child theme. No change.

    I really hope someone will help me out with this. It’s a nice looking plugin that fills a need and I would like to use it on more sites. If I can’t get to the bottom of this I will have to follow the suggestion of my theme author and find another accordion. I would prefer to understand what is going on and know how to fix similar issues! Thank you…

    I have now realized that in spite of deleting and reinstalling the plugin and making my changes while the plugin was inactive, the css file still displays the ‘inactive’ error message.

    Thus, it is really two problems, the inactive CSS file and the mobile conflict with the sidebar. I thought I had placed the site url in my original post, but I must have forgotten, so here it is.

    In the absence of any support I have been continuing to look for a solution. I should mention some of my findings*** for others in the forum.

    *** This plugin author suggests making changes to the plugin core (with the caution that they will be overwritten if updated). Since those of us who make changes normally make them to child theme files, it is not common knowledge that changes to plugins need to be made when the plugin is inactive. Changes made to an active plugin can lead to unexpected results, potentially breaking the plugin and requiring it to be deleted and reinstalled.
    (note- in my case I made a change from DESC to ASC in the display order, and also changed the javascript to make all tabs closed on page load when the plugin was active. I have now deleted and reinstalled it, but this hasn’t fixed my current problem.)

    I have observed that the mobile conflict is present in both Firefox and Chrome in an Android phone in portrait mode. In Chrome it seems fine when in landscape mode. Firefox is a problem either way.

    That must have been a bad day. I know better!

    It’s all good now, thanks

    What would I do different to just remove the author, or to just remove the author and date? I wasn’t quite planning on the whole bar disappearing. For this site it will work, but there is another I would like to be more selective about if it is possible.

    Great. I will look forward to the update.

    Thank you, I will explore this.

    Hmmm… easier said than done. I will keep experimenting. Thanks

    What I am trying to describe would look like this:

    Copyright © 2014 Your Company. All rights reserved. | Website by Designer/Company

    This is generally all on one line, keeping the credits and ownership issues separate from the content—articles, sharing, tag clouds, etc. This has the added benefit of not having to find a second unobtrusive location for the design credit, and is why I suggested that others would probably have an interest in the solution. Is this doable?

    If you can point me at the right file(s) I can give it a shot. My coding is decent, but I am not a full-on developer. Thanks

    So, should we be looking forward to a theme update sometime soon that will include the fix for this? — and is the 404 error page the only one affected?

    Thank you

    Ok, I get it that the copyright issue came from the fix for my original approach to displaying it differently from the way you designed it.

    This solution to the plugin conflict is awesome, but I am afraid I am making a hash of it. I am a designer who can modify code, but not a developer. I’ve never worked with ARIA roles before. At least now I know they exist. This may be beyond the scope of your support, but here goes—

    I have tried a lot of different variations of this, and in different files. Currently I have the following code

    #accordion .ui-accordion .ui-widget .ui-helper-reset .clearfix [role='tablist'] {
        clearfix: both;
    }

    added to the jqueryuicss.css file for the sp-faq plugin. I have also wrapped a div with the clearfix class around the shortcode adding the accordion to the page. None of the things I have tried have had an effect. Are you able to get me any further with this? I really appreciate the help.

    This helped, and I have made some compromises. Is there no way to explain the odd lop-sided behavior of the borders in my earlier fix for the footer-wrapper id?

    I would still like to know how to place the site credit down with the copyright so it is not having to mix with the rest of the site content. For this site I can make it work, but I would like to use this theme for others where it’s not going to be a good fit. Since this is common practice I am a little surprised it wasn’t made a part of the theme. Instructions for how and where to modify the code would be great, but for those not unable to code it would be an awesome addition to the Customize input.

    Sorry to be so persistent, but the better I understand your theme now, the more likely I am to use it again and ask fewer questions later! Thank you again

    I guess I didn’t make myself clear. The colors in the footer are under control—it’s where the box they color shows up that is the issue.

    I have been able to change the footer color, but find it is necessary to add a border to the right and left margin. The right side works. The left side only adds to the right, leaving the left untouched. On this site I have left it with both the right and left borders set to show the odd behavior. I tried margin and padding first, but neither helped.

    If you look at the site you will see that there is a footer sized chunky indent on the left. It matches the bump on the right. I’ve never seen anything like this before and would really like to know how to fix it. The code I gave up above is still in place. Thanks

    I realize that the copyright text change would have to be coded in. I was hoping that you would help me out with that. Thanks again

    Thread Starter catwingz

    (@catwingz)

    Related to this, I had also hoped to put some additional text like ‘designed by” after the copyright information. Is this possible? I am exploring other ways to make use of the bottom widgets to see if there is a happy compromise, but the rest of the theme is so clean that I would prefer to stick with my original plan.

    Thank you again!
