Thank you so very much! I realize now I was making that waaay more complicated than it needed to be, haha. * Thank you again, you are a virtuoso! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Adjusting .php files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjusting-php-files/) * Thread Starter [FriendlyHal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyhal/) * (@friendlyhal) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjusting-php-files/#post-6367835) * All right, I think I got this 😛 Hopefully I will tick this thread as resolved here shortly. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Adjusting .php files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjusting-php-files/) * Thread Starter [FriendlyHal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyhal/) * (@friendlyhal) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjusting-php-files/#post-6367832) * So literally just put `$epa_html .= '

See?

';` for the line and then download a Custom CSS plugin? If so any recommendations for such a plugin? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Adjusting .php files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjusting-php-files/) * Thread Starter [FriendlyHal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyhal/) * (@friendlyhal) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adjusting-php-files/#post-6367828) * First off, thank you for the extremely quick reply. Secondly, I apologize for my ignorance. I’ve tried 20+ different ways to enter “my formatting code” in the line you have pointed out to me as well as trying some different things with the content itself but none of them seem to work. Looking at the source code for the page, none of “my formatting code” seems to be going through. Here are just a few of the ways I’ve tried to give you a sense of what I may be doing wrong. * ``` $epa_html .= '

'; ``` * ``` $epa_html .= ' '; ``` * ``` $epa_html .= ''; ``` * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Ads on my website](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ads-on-my-website-1/) * [FriendlyHal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyhal/) * (@friendlyhal) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ads-on-my-website-1/#post-6363097) * Sorry, I missed the link. Definitely looks like your host added in some default code to generate that. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Ads on my website](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ads-on-my-website-1/) * [FriendlyHal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyhal/) * (@friendlyhal) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ads-on-my-website-1/#post-6363095) * It might also be a plug-in you have downloaded. Can you give us any info about the ads themselves? A lot of times it says who generated the ad on the ad itself. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Possible to randomize shortcode parameter?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-to-randomize-shortcode-parameter/) * Thread Starter [FriendlyHal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyhal/) * (@friendlyhal) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-to-randomize-shortcode-parameter/#post-6353988) * Wooohooo!!!! You did it 😀 If Apple hadn’t made such a mockery of the word genius I would call you one, in lieu, you are a virtuoso! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Possible to randomize shortcode parameter?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-to-randomize-shortcode-parameter/) * Thread Starter [FriendlyHal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyhal/) * (@friendlyhal) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-to-randomize-shortcode-parameter/#post-6353984) * It doesn’t seem to work in my case anyway :/ * The plug-in is easy popup announcement, the code for the shortcode is thus: * ``` '' ), $atts ); $default_popup = get_post($atts['id']); if(get_option('epa_enable') == 'no') : $epa_html .= '
'; $epa_html .= $default_popup->post_content; $epa_html .= '

If I code `[shortcode id = '128']` then instead of popup ‘123’ up comes ‘128’. What I would like to happen is that a random popup appears instead of just the same ‘123’ or ‘128’ popup over and over. * Putting `[shortcode id = 'rand("120","130")']` doesn’t fly. * Can this only be done by editing the plugins code? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Draft and media updates lost](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/draft-and-media-updates-lost/) * [FriendlyHal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyhal/) * (@friendlyhal) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/draft-and-media-updates-lost/#post-6352994) * You’re welcome, glad to help. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Draft and media updates lost](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/draft-and-media-updates-lost/) * [FriendlyHal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyhal/) * (@friendlyhal) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/draft-and-media-updates-lost/#post-6352966) * Haha, glad you figured it out 🙂 Don’t forget to mark as resolved * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Draft and media updates lost](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/draft-and-media-updates-lost/) * [FriendlyHal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyhal/) * (@friendlyhal) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/draft-and-media-updates-lost/#post-6352925) * I’ve had this happen to me a few times if I’m not paying attention. * WordPress auto-saves for you to some extent if you don’t do it manually and to see the previous revisions there is a line that says “revisions” in a window in the top-right while you’re editing your page. The window is labeled “Publish.” If it’s not there you’re probably out of luck.
