The painting still shows this line on the right of the image: * “SKU: Flapper 1 (Green Dress) Category: Art Deco Tag: MDF” * Have I mangled the code and ‘broken’ it? Or just misunderstood how it works? * Out of interest, what do the two numbers 999 and 3 in the parameters of ‘add_filter’ represent? - This reply was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] How to change the word Tag on single product page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-the-word-tag-on-single-product-page/) * Thread Starter [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/) * (@johnwmcc) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-the-word-tag-on-single-product-page/#post-15737666) * Thank you for your responses. * I had seen the businessbloomer snippet, but don’t really understand how ‘tied’ to the businessbloomer website it is. * Is the businessbloomer word in the code just an arbitrary name ‘placeholder’ that could be replaced with any other string, just used to define in effect a‘ namespace’ to prevent a name conflict with woocommerce or any other plug-in? * If so, I think I understand in principle to use it my artsforukraine site. * Late night here, so I won’t try until tomorrow. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can’t see where to edit default page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-see-where-to-edit-default-page/) * Thread Starter [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/) * (@johnwmcc) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-see-where-to-edit-default-page/#post-15581090) * Thank you for such a quick and helpful reply. That’s sorted the problem. * I’d seen that setting once before, but couldn’t find it, and thought perhaps that this theme didn’t include that setting!

That seems to do everything needed to install the plugin, which then works. * But I’d still like to understand why neither of the built in methods of installing plugins work, and fix that. - This reply was modified 7 years, 8 months ago by [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 8 months ago by [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 8 months ago by [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [With wordpress in its own subdirectory I still get /wordpress/ showing in URLs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/with-wordpress-in-its-own-subdirectory-ive-broken-the-site/) * Thread Starter [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/) * (@johnwmcc) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/with-wordpress-in-its-own-subdirectory-ive-broken-the-site/#post-10223148) * IMPORTANT PS * Although the site now works to browse, I can’t log in – the login page appears when I type _baconianclub.uk/wp-admin_ in the address bar, but instead of going to the Dashboard when I’ve filled in the correct username and pw, I just return to the login page. * PPS I can now log in after a password reset. - This reply was modified 8 years ago by [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/). - This reply was modified 8 years ago by [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Remove too-wide margins in Twenty Sixteen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-too-wide-margins-in-twenty-sixteen/) * Thread Starter [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/) * (@johnwmcc) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-too-wide-margins-in-twenty-sixteen/#post-10202997) * Thank you for your first suggestion. It works when I edit the style.css file directly and put margin 0, but (unless I did it wrong and didn’t clear the cache, though I thought I had) it doesn’t seem to work if I put the whole of that code in the Additional CSS panel. Shouldn’t that do it too? * I suspect my style.css file will get overwritten if I have to update or replace the theme. * About the code I posted: in the file itself it uses the greater than and less than symbols, not the HTML code for them. And there’s no visible difference between the two examples you posted, either in the display format, or if I look at the page source code. Though I think I know what you are getting at. * Thanks for the clue about posting images.

I seem to have a problem of some kind with the Responsive theme. * I see there’s an update available, which I tried to install. It says it fails because it can’t delete the older theme version. I can’t delete it manually, either. * I’ve checked the file permissions on the server, which look fine – everything read/write/execute except Public is read/execute only. * I don’t want to delete the files manually, since that would (I presume) leave loose ends in the database. * Any suggestions, please? For example, reinstall the Responsive theme? * John McC * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [How do I remove the sidebar from blog page in Twenty Fourteen?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-the-sidebar-from-blog-page-in-twenty-fourteen/) * Thread Starter [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/) * (@johnwmcc) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-the-sidebar-from-blog-page-in-twenty-fourteen/#post-4984221) * What is involved (including any charges) in ‘having a few minutes with an Evil Genius’? * In the meantime, I’ll experiment a bit more with the theme. * I’ve quickly tried this evening changing the Theme Options to point to a brand new Home page, and just inserting the HTML code from my current Twenty Fourteen home page into it. * It’s still showing some code on the page ‘above’ my page contents, and I can’t see where/how to get rid of it – the page seems to be trying to put a couple of widgets there, failing, and then giving an error message. * Unfortunately, little or no more time tonight to experiment further, but I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [How do I remove the sidebar from blog page in Twenty Fourteen?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-the-sidebar-from-blog-page-in-twenty-fourteen/) * Thread Starter [johnwmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/) * (@johnwmcc) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-the-sidebar-from-blog-page-in-twenty-fourteen/#post-4984196) * I’ve looked at your video – and I’m impressed that you have certainly done a lot very quickly to get important parts of the front page working in Responsive. * When I tried the Responsive theme myself here, it wouldn’t display my existing Home page at all as the home page – just got a plain white blank page, even though I had disabled the Override WordPress default home page, and told it which static page to use as Home page. * Does it matter that the current home page deliberately has no Title? * I eventually managed to copy the custom home page HTML into the Custom home page offered by Responsive, but it didn’t replace the default theme home page contents, only added to them. In the few minutes I have tonight before bedtime (it’s almost 1am UK time) I can’t easily see how to get rid of the existing default content, but will perhaps try again in the next few days (I’m busy on other things almost all tomorrow and much of Tuesday). * I’m afraid I got slightly discouraged with this first attempt. I’ve reverted the theme to Twenty Fourteen with existing custom modifications for the moment. * But if you are still willing to give me a little more help to get over this initial hurdle, I would really like to see if I can get the site to work in Responsive– perhaps I could start from where you had got to, and just ask for a little more help in setting up a child theme and style.css? And in getting rid or, or overriding, the default Responsive content? * Best wishes, and thanks again * John McC Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 31 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/replies/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnwmcc/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
