In reply to: Giant fonts cannot change them back in cssI’m not seeing anything out of the ordinary on your site. Are you sure it isn’t just a browser setting? Try using a different browser to view your site. And in your current browser, clear the browser cache and any user styles.

In reply to: Some glitchesReally I think it’s time to update your theme to a device-responsive one, even a newer WP-default theme. TwentyTen was a fine theme, but its age is starting to show in how it gets handled by different devices. I’d do that before I spent gobs of time trying to sort out the individual issues that are bugging you.
WordPress and all plugins are fully up to date.
You didn’t mention which version of WP, but at least one plugin (Glass) is more than 2 years since an update, and your 2 plugins for disabling right-clicks haven’t been updated for a year and a half. Those are all falling behind and may be contributing to your site’s performance issues. A lot has changed in the last couple years for WP, and plugins that don’t get support get to be liabilities for you and I as site admins.

In reply to: WordPress RolesI suppose you could use a custom-roles and capabilities plugin, and create a role that doesn’t have edit_user or delete_user capabilities. The bigger question though, is why you’d want to give admin capabilities to someone who can’t be trusted to not delete the site’s creator?

In reply to: Managing user permissions and creating groupsOK so a bit more complicated to have multiple authors per post/page, if indeed that’s what they’re collaborating on. Aside from the roles plugins you’re looking at, you may want to also search for ‘multiple authors’ or ‘multi-author’ plugins such as this one. I don’t know if that example does what you need but it’s worth a look. The description says: “Co-authors may edit the posts they are associated with”.
Another approach might be to have them collaborate on a ‘document’ which then gets copied into a post/page and published. For example, if you have a membership site using the BuddyPress plugin, there’s a BP Docs plugin for private collaboration. Or just search the plugin repository for collaboration. Hope some of that helps you get closer to your goal.

In reply to: Managing user permissions and creating groupsI think I’m the one missing something 😉 I don’t get the difference you’re referring to. If you have, for example, you as an admin, and then a group of authors (or contributors) each responsible for their own content, no one but the post’s author and the admin can edit a particular post. Can you elaborate more on your needs?

In reply to: menu-icons plugin not workingThis would be a question for the support forum for the plugin. They should be able to help you with this.

In reply to: Managing user permissions and creating groupsAuthors can edit their own content, editors can edit their own and others. The admin can set the user roles.

There are lots of popular plugins if you feel you need more control. Just look at how many installs there are listed for each, the star-ratings, the reviews and support pages, and how recently it’s been updated.

In reply to: widgets not appearingTry asking about this in the support forum for the plugin. They should be able to help.

In reply to: How do I edit the URL in General-Settings?Remove those statements from wp-config.php since you won’t need access to your site via admin to check the db. Also make sure to check both ‘siteurl’ and ‘home’ option values in the wp_options table. The page I linked you to above (scroll towards the top of that page) explains their relationship if you’re not sure what your setup calls for.
