 * Kathryn-
 * Thanks so much for the follow up! I just implemented your suggested changes and
   reverted to the enqueued child theme method with no issues.
 * I really appreciate it!

 * Thanks, Kathryn. Removing the enqueuing method from functions.php and adding 
   the [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) line referenced above
   to my style.css DID fix the tiny icon issue and lets me keep the blue theme options
   color.
 * I’m interested to know what the developers might have to say. From what I understand,
   the enqueuing method is faster. Is this correct?

 * Thanks for the reply, Kathryn. Adding the priority 11 like you suggested DID 
   fix the tiny post icon issue. However, it also completely overrides the Theme
   Options –> Color Scheme setting. Regardless of the chosen color (I use Blue),
   the theme only renders the turquoise color.
 * Any advice?
 * Thanks,

 * Aack! I spoke too soon. While I *did* get my main menu to begin appearing on 
   category pages, I lost my members-only secondary menu. The secondary menu works–
   if I assign it as the secondary menu (non-members-only), then it appears. However,
   this menu needs to be members-only. Assigning this menu to “Secondary Menu – 
   Members Only” does not cause the secondary menu to display when I’m logged into
   my site. I’ve removed the association between this menu and the menu location
   several times, hoping that it might eventually “take”… to no avail.
 * Any ideas?

 * After following the tips at this [post](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-nav-menu-dissapears-in-category-pages-1?replies=21)
   with limited success, I started thinking about WHEN exactly I last saw this work
   properly.
 * I had recently made some changes to my site by installing a VideoWhisper plugin
   and a Wiki Lite plugin. I didn’t end up using either, and decided to uninstall
   both of them.
 * I first uninstalled Wiki Lite, and saw no changes. I then deleted Wiki Lite and
   saw no changes. I followed this with an uninstall of VideoWhisper – still no 
   changes. Finally, I deleted the VideoWhisper plugin files. SUCCESS! I finally
   got my menu back on my category pages.
 * For the record, since I was not able to successfully resolve this using the aforementioned
   post, I completely removed any additions to functions.php and category.php made
   during that attempt.
 * I don’t know if it was the combination of removing both of these plugins, but
   I specifically thought about these plugins as culprits because I had a hunch 
   that the issue was related to grouping articles by type (article), and both of
   these plugins created custom types.

 * I had the opposite problem as booth_1 – I wanted to _hide_ the number of subscribers.
   I tried `[jetpack_subscription_form show_subscribers_total="false"]` based on
   inverting Jeremy’s suggestion above, but had no luck.
 * I modified the jetpack/modules/subscriptions.php file and added `echo $show_subscribers_total;`
   and saw that it was outputting a 1.
 * I then tried `[jetpack_subscription_form show_subscribers_total="0"]` and successfully
   hid my subscriber count.
 * Wanted to point this out in the event anyone else ran across this issue.

 * ChrisColston-
 * I too made the same assumption that changing Settings–> Reading–> For each article
   in a feed, show… from “Full text” to “Summary” would produce summaries of my 
   articles on my home page. I’m migrating from Drupal to WordPress and had this
   functionality on my Drupal-based site.
 * It has come to my attention that this setting is actually for RSS feeds, and 
   therefore changing this value would not by default change the appearance of articles
   on the blog roll.
 * Regardless, glad to see you got a solution to your problem. I think I’ll be implementing
   this same solution.

 * Using Chrome Developer Tools, I noticed that my table cell was inheriting a “
   vertical-align: baseline” setting from the parent theme’s style.
 * I added a “home_page_table_text” class to my table cell:
    `<td class="home_page_table_text"
   >`
 * and an appropriate entry in my child theme’s style.css:
 *     ```
       .home_page_table_text {
       vertical-align: top;
       }
       ```
   
 * And now my text is properly displaying at the top of the cell adjacent to the
   slideshow.

 * Andrew-
 * Many thanks for your assistance with this issue. In straightening out my CSS,
   I realized that the sub-menu items had a padding-top and padding-bottom value
   being set. Overriding that value indeed shrank my submenu items as desired.

 * I only added the !important when it didn’t seem to work without it – as if it
   were set as !important in the parent theme.
 * Sadly, adding your suggestion as the last line in my child theme didn’t seem 
   to take any effect.
 * I need to go through my custom theme settings, ensure that I’ve got everything
   ordered properly, then I’ll post my child style.css for analysis.

 * My apologies – after your last post I was changing my themes around so you may
   have experienced one of the undesired themes.
 * My child theme’s style.css is indeed in play (I assume) because I’ve successfully
   changed my menu’s font color, main menu item height, background color, etc.
 * Try again at [http://www.lisakarenward.com/newsite2/wordpress](http://www.lisakarenward.com/newsite2/wordpress)
   and you should see white menu text on a black background with minimal space above
   and below the main menu items. It’s the submenu items under the main menu item“
   GALLERY” that I’m wanting to reduce in overall height.
 * And thanks again for your assistance! 🙂

 * My custom theme is a child of twenty twelve. If I remove my entire custom theme’s
   style.css contents, I receive a “theme broken” message. If I implement just the
   code to inherit the parent theme’s style.css, then my gallery submenu still appears
   the same height as in my custom theme. If I change my theme to the twenty twelve
   standard theme, then my submenu still appears thicker than I want, and appears
   in height identical to my child-theme’s style.css-driven submenu.
 * In a nutshell, it doesn’t seem like removing my child theme’s style.css made 
   any change in my sub-menu appearance.
 * I’m no html programmer (C# .NET for me), but my understanding of css is that 
   settings that appear lower in the css file are the most recently applied styles,
   and that adding !important to a style should apply that style, disregarding any
   settings it may have inherited with regards to that property – such that the 
   last line in my custom style.css being
 *     ```
       #masthead .main-navigation li.menu-item, #masthead .main-navigation li a, #masthead .main-navigation li ul, #masthead .main-navigation li ul li, #masthead .main-navigation li ul li a {
       height: 30px !important;
       line-height: 30px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * should override any inherited settings for these elements with regards to the
   properties in question.
 * Is my basic understanding of CSS wrong?
