Submitted feature request to the Jetpack forum on wordpress.org.

I assume at this point that action by Jetpack maintainers is required but may be mistaken. I’m new to WP and know little of PHP or JSON, so I looked at some source on Jetpack github without it telling me anything about how incoming data is parsed or shortcode data is utilized in calls to WP.

Ideally, one could readily add support in a file or two at Jetpack but I was unable to figure out where to make changes.

I submitted an informal feature request to the Jetpack team asking them to add an option to allow setting publication date in their email to post tool.

Oops, have now marked as resolved.

Luis, thanks. I tried both without luck. Each time after uploading style.css to the temp site provided by bluehost, I log out of bluehost, then log back in, and then log back in to WordPress.

The CSS may be just fine. I can’t be certain I’m not being stymied by the potentially several caches, and I don’t know where all the caches might be besides at bluehost and at my browser. I’ve cleared the browser cache (Chrome) and restarted it but that did not help.

At this point I must stop for at least 48 hours. I’ll try to figure out how to set the caching parameters in the admin menu provided by bluehost.

If you have any other ideas, thanks in advance for sharing.

My child theme has only two files: style.css and functions.php. Here are their complete contents, downloaded just now from the site:

– style.css –

/*
Theme Name:  Twenty Sixteen Child
Description: Twenty Sixteen Child Theme
Author:  gp
Template: twentysixteen
Version: 1.0.0
License: GNU General Public License v2 or later
License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
Text Domain: twentysixteen-abchild
*/

/* Test inclusion of this style sheet */
p { color: brown; }

.home h1.entry-title { display:none !important; }

– functions.php –

<?php
/*
 gp 1802xx  load child and parent stylesheets
*/
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {

    $parent_style = 'twentysixteen-style';

    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style ),
        wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>

Thanks, Steve.

(This accidentally got posted in “Fixing WordPress”, I just now noticed. Should a question like this really go elsewhere, like in the “Developing…” forum?)
