problem solved… was able to start over by uploading a new favicon then starting the generation process. Don’t know why that would not work last night… maybe something to do with old website cookies or a re refresh problem. Hope I didn’t waste anyone’s time!!

In reply to: [YENDIF Video Player & Video Gallery] Yendif playlist without sliderDuh!! I’ve found the solution to my post. I was under the mistaken impression that changing the “height” setting in the Yendif Player settings area only affected the height of the transport control bar.. but after some experimenting I now realize that it affects the size of the entire player’s container.
Sorry for the false alarm. And so it goes…Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: “search plugins” does not seem to workThanks for the reply Steve…
Your answer prompted me to check my other PCs… and it turns out the issue is on my end on just one of them that just updated to the Windows 10 Creators edition of the operating system. I’ll have to muck around and hopefully figure out what’s causing it… but it’s obviously not on the WordPress site.
Thanks again…

In reply to: [YENDIF Video Player & Video Gallery] shockwave/flash issue with "playbar"OMG!!! Who knew it would be something that simple! When I saw the html coding where the play bar should be… being a relative newbie… I jumped to the conclusion that a solution would have to be adding some kind of code to the child theme. Many Many thanks for pointing me to the right solution. All the browsers are displaying correctly now. Thanks for marking this resolved.
One followup question if I may… Now that I’ve changed the default playback engine to html 5… does this mean that the web site will only fall back to flash for someone whose browser does not support html 5… and if so will it display correctly for them?
Thanks!!

In reply to: [Hueman] how to properly enqueue the Hueman Child ThemeWish I could… but it’s still just a localhost install.
I’m trying to have it up live in the near future. Just putting on what I hope are the finishing touches.

In reply to: [Hueman] how to properly enqueue the Hueman Child ThemeDo I also have to add code to the Parent Theme functions.php file to properly link the parent and child themes?
Most certainly NOT. That would defy the whole idea of having a child theme. Your problem lays elsewhere.
marikamitsos… turns out your insight in your last phrase there is right on the money. I am throughly embarrassed to have to admit this but here goes.
As I mentioned in a different thread, an upgrade to Windows 10 several week ago deleted the Apache 2 server and MySQL services from my Bitnami WordPress installation. In a misguided attempt to correct that I backed up the Bitnami install… then reinsalled Bitnami WordPress. I sadly assumed that the reinstall would simply overwrite the existing installation and correct any errors or file corruption as many software programs do. What I didn’t realize until last night was the “reinstall” was actually a full “new” install and put my site in a completely different folder. Even though I was not getting any “child theme broken” error messages… the customizations I was trying to make were based on a desktop shortcut to the child theme style.css file in my OLD installation. Doh!!!
Bottom line… I’ve renamed the old installation folder… and now seem to be back on track with the new install. I’m so thankful that I discovered this because I was on the verge of blowing it all up and starting over… and who knows what evils that would have led to as far as losing other customizations.
The second bottom line… is many thanks to you and Andrew for the help and guidance. As with most of my newbie WordPress screw-ups… the silver lining is how much I’ve learned while trying to get to the bottom of the problem.
God bless the WordPress forum community!!!
p.s. By shelving the old Bitnami install… my Child Theme Configurator plugin was able to switch the site from @import to enqueue with no muss or fuss!! an added bonus for me.

In reply to: [Hueman] how to properly enqueue the Hueman Child ThemeHello Andrew and marikamitsos… thanks for the replies!!
marikamitsos…
Could you please put your code into ticks next time? It is quite difficult to read it the way you post. 🙁
Will do… sorry about that… and thanks for the advice on not adding code to parent functions.php

Yendif PlayerRegarding the “commented” code in Child Theme Functions.php I put that in first and it didn’t resolve my isue… so I commented it out and added the second piece of code… that also didn’t resolve it… so I uncommented the first snippet so they were both active but that also had no impact.
================================================================
One other thought…when I updated to the latest version of WordPress.. there was an option to update the database… I can’t recall exactly what it said or whether I had done it with earlier WordPress upgrades… but I did it this time. Could that have broken something? Thanks again for the help from both of you!!Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Hueman] how to properly enqueue the Hueman Child ThemeHi Andrew…
I checked and it is named functions.phpI almost wish it weren’t.. that would have been an easy resolve.
thanks for the heads-up

In reply to: Help Pls…Apache2 server knocked out by Windows 10 upgradeHey Neil… Is your Wamp/Wordpress a new install or one that migrated from Win 7 to Win 10?
I have had two issues… one when I migrated from 7 to 10… and a second a couple of days ago when I upgraded from my first Win 10 install to the latest Win 10 build. In each case… both the Apache2 server and MySQL were deleted… no longer show up in the “services.msc list”. I installed a new instance of Bitnami WordPress Stack which reinstalled the servers and started them.. but of course when I click on the link to my “localhost” wordpress site… it goes to the new (empty) version instead of the original install that has my web site. I plan to read up on how to migrate my site to the new install. Don’t know whether any of this sheds light on your issue but good luck.

In reply to: No site access after upgrade to Win 10Thanks for the advice Lyle…
As it turns out… the culprit was actually my “virtual private network” application. I’m embarrassed that it wasn’t the fist thing I checked. As soon as I exited the VPN program… my localhost install was back to normal…. once again able to login to site and phpMyAdmin.
I’m not a superuser but I’m guessing the VPN takes the site through an IP address that is a dead-end because it interrupts the direct link between WordPress and the Apache server emulation in a localhost install.
Thanks again!!

In reply to: [Hueman] ul not indenting correctly in sidebarp.s. when I posted it changed the example I gave. In the post it’s more like I want it to be… in the website view the S in the title Studio is actually above the C in custom.

In reply to: how to remove Title from Static Front PageGood Day Jack…
Well I added all the code and thought nothing had changed… but then realized that instead of hiding the “title” of the home or landing page… it hid the “main menu” which contains the nav title home… so I’m guessing the h1 tag I found was not the proper one.
I will conduct a new search with Notepad ++ and let you know how I make out.
Have a good one
