Hi mbrsolution!

I know how to format the csv, it’s not an issue with that. I can import the same exact csv file and get different results. It seems to work itself out after 2 or three imports…but it’s strange I have to do it multiple times for it to work.

Many thanks to mbrsolution for helping me through this.

the image was not actually responsive, it was just small enough to work on my phone’s screen.

After many hours of fiddling, the only way I could find to make everything responsive was to comment out the following areas of the catablog.css file shown below in bold:

.catablog-row .catablog-images-column {
/* float: left; */
/* position: relative; */
}

AND

.catablog-row .catablog-images-column /* .catablog-image img */ {
float: none;
max-width: none;
min-width: 0;
max-height: none;
min-height: 0;
}

The above changes to the catablog.css file along with the following additions to my child theme’s style.css are what worked:

/* BEGIN SECTION FOR CATABLOG CUSTOM */
.catablog-row {
width: auto !important;
}

.catablog-description {
margin: 0 auto 0 auto !important;
}

.catablog-images-column {
width: auto !important;
}
/* END SECTION FOR CATABLOG CUSTOM */

I know it’s better to modify the css via the child theme’s style.css, but I tried every possible combination, including fully copying each offending section into the child theme css, and changing the values to “none”, nothing worked. If anyone has any further ideas, I’m open to hearing them, but I am marking this as resolved.

Here’s what we ended up using, it has the best combination of usability and flexibility: CataBlog

@ mbrsolution: I see you have a website, can I use your contact form to send the info? The site is under development, and password-protected from viewing.

My hosting is a shared plan. PHP is 5.2.13

The permissions thing has been an issue in the past, my own workaround was to change the effected files temporarily then change them back. I could do that with the XML Sitemap Gen plugin, but then it wouldn’t be able to automatically update the sitemap on the fly, I would have to do it manually after changing the permissions, then change them back.

hmmm, what to do…any advice?

Thanks for the reply, webjunk…

According to my FTP client, 646 is:
User: Read/Write
Group: Read
World: Read/Write

I have tried all combinations, and only 646 works with the plugin…The question is: Is using 646 for those two files a serious security risk?
