In reply to: Picolight & Paragraph SpacingIs there any way you can switch to a different theme? This theme uses tables unnecessarily which tends to complicate css.

In reply to: new website slowHave you tried turning off all plugins and seeing whether the speed increases? If it does, then turn them all on one at a time till you find out which one is slowing things down.

In reply to: the_date displaying wrong yearTry using
<?php echo date("Y")?>and let me know how that works.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Image GalleriesYou may have to pay someone to make the gallery circular unless there happens to be a skin out there, but I’ve never seen one before.

In reply to: new website slowNext gen gallery is a bit heavy. Try deactivating it and see if speed improves. If so, look for a different gallery/slideshow plugin. The only other suggestion I have is change hosts to a wordpress specific host like wpengine. They optimize the site significantly, take care of backups, and offer plugin suggestions. Well worth $29 per month if you ask me.

In reply to: Inadvertently deleted my blog/siteI would get on the line with dreamhost and see if they have a restore option. That would be by far the easiest way to revert. There may be other options, but lets start with the easiest one first.

In reply to: Add a line of text to display on the Blog home page ONLYWhere do you need it to appear. There are several ways to make it happen depending on location. And can I get the url of your site? I’ll probably need it soon.

In reply to: How to do like this formYou would want to switch to a more powerful contact form like cforms…but you’re going to have to get a designer to help you if you want to make it look anything close to that.
The difficulty with using a form plugin would be making it work work with an e-commerce plugin(which is the only way to be sure the customer paid). I’ve never tried it, but having dabbled in php, I imagine it would be rather difficult. It would be easier to skin the form that comes with the eCommerce software and less expensive too, since it can be done by a web designer and not a developer.

In reply to: Pages redirecting to main siteThere’s some werid redirect issue going on. First, go to your “permalinks” settings page and hit save(weird, I know.) and see if that fixes it. If not, try changing the structure to a different type and save settings.
If you still have a non-starter, try turning off all plugins. If that doesn’t stop it, leave them off and change to the default twentyeleven theme. Whether or not that gets it, please update us so that the next person who has the same issue can find the solution.http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/
That will get you the functionality you need assuming you have the technical knowledge to set it up. E-commerce tends to be full of many confusing options, so you might be better off hiring or bartering with a web designer to set it up. You will probably need to hire someone for at least styling the form. What you’ve described isn’t too complicated, so if that’s all you need, you should be able to find someone to do it for a reasonable price here.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Wp e commerence update 3.8.8 IssueYou’re much more likely to get help for the plugin by posting to their support forum here. Don’t forget to check to see if anyone else has already been through this problem before you open a new topic to discuss the same thing. Moderators get ticked when people fail to read. We all want to help people who have enough sense to read before asking. I hope you find what you’re looking for.

In reply to: Can get featured image to appear on Tribune templateAs this is a purchased theme, it has it’s own support forum. Your purchase covers basic support, which this would seem to be.

In reply to: Wont display most recent posts on homepage (only 1 most recent)Unlikely but possible. Try switching back to twentyeleven and seeing if the problem goes away. If that doesn’t work, you can try turning off all plugins and reactivating them one at a time to find the culprit. Some plugins are capable of what you’ve described.
