Again, Steve, I’m not sure I follow – to rewind a bit…

You’ve said these are features that would be implemented by a theme – I’m saying wouldn’t it be great if users could have certainty that certain basic company info would be implemented by different themes in the way the theme designers intend.

Do you see the difference there?

I just don’t get your point about telephone numbers – but if you don’t want to clarify, I’m not certain it’s pertinent either.

WP Core is not something I’m familiar with, but you’ll note I’ve not called for it to be bloated in any way.

I don’t think it’s that massively controversial to suggest WordPress make some nod to their business users.

COuld there be some sort of compliance system – say “WP4B Compliance” – as a business user you fill out the WP4B company information form, and then you go looking for athemes that are tagged “WP4B Compliant”, perhaps.

Thanks for suggesting I write a plug-in. I know nothing about such things. Will you help me?

Steve, versionpress.net looks exactly what I am after – thanks so much for such a swift answer.

Hi Steve. Thanks for the quick reply. I’m not sure I follow you. Is there a way I can input and store the sort of info I mentioned, and be sure it will be picked up, recognised and handled correctly.

Neil, thanks so much for taking the time to reply – greatly appreciated. The form is for a different website which I can’t link to because the business (my friend) doesn’t want it turning up in google searches. He says it’ll look unprofessional. (But refuses to pay a real web designer, and is happy for his amateur friend (me) to stumble through creating! – Joking. I’m happy to do it).

There’s no real product – the visitors will be paying a variable amount. That seems to be the stumbling block I’ve hit. I need to skip straight to creating a payment form. Every solution I can find involves creating a product, and everything else (including the payment form) follows readily.

As I say, I just need a form, or a widget, or something that allows me to put a box on the webpage that has fields the visitor can fill in – name, customer reference, payment amount, and card details – and make payment.

Either that, or – as some of my research suggests – some sort of form or link through to redirect to SagePay so payment is made on the sagepay website before the visitor is returned to our site on completion of the payment.

Thanks for all your help so far, and for any further help you can offer.

Is anyone else experiencing this, or does anyone have any fix? The custom CSS work around seems to work to get the Recaptcha to display, but I’m still having the problem where, if a user doesn’t tick the Recaptcha box, they get both messages – “Thanks, your email was sent successfully!” AND “Sorry, an error occured. Wrong reCAPTCHA”

(As an aside, where can I correct the typo in “occured”?)

Hmmmm – not so sure. If you look at the themes set up for business they nearly all have common elements – Company Vision, Our Services, Meet the Team, Contact Details, CTA.

If these were standardised, you’d be able to write them all once, have photos of the team etc andchanging a theme would reformat everything around that data for you – as it is, at the moment (unless I’m mistaken) you generally have to fill out all that info each time you change theme.

I’ve been looking myself, and found this thread:-

https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/news-articles-and-facebook

It states:-

WordPress.com is not a aggregation platform. This platform supports publication of original content. Therefor there are no tools for auto-posting of duplicated content.

Creating duplicate content is a very bad idea and in fact Google is busy acting to remove if from the SERPs (search engine page results) – thank gawd!

On the blog you can publish a short post with an short excerpt from the original article on Facebook with a link back to it.

Just to be clear, I’m not after the full article reappearing, I just want the post on Facebook (ie, my 1-2 line comment, the article headline, and maybe either the byline, or the accompanying picture) to appear.
