In reply to: My authors can not publish videos.Is it all your users, or just one or two? Have you tried it yourself?
Are they using youtube embed code (taken from the Share > Embed section of the youtube page)? Or are they just copying a youtube url into the post? Are you using any plugins associated with videos?
I personally have had a problem where youtube embed codes disappear if I switch to the text editor and then back to the visual editor, or if I pre-schedule posts with videos in them. Would any of these scenarios apply to your authors?

In reply to: Unwanted italics showing up on homepage titles and categoriesHmm, I see what you mean but I can’t figure an immediate reason why. It’s weird, something seems to be throwing in outdated
<i>tags. This seems like something you’ll have to contact the theme developers about, since you’re not using a wp.org repository theme.Here’s their support forum! Hope they can help you figure it out.

Hi amma444! To change the settings, you’ll need to create a child theme, and then edit the template files to remove the meta information. I might be able to tell you where exactly if you give a more specific list of the things you want to remove.
Here are some references you might want to look at so you understand which files you need to adjust, and what you’ll need to change.
Stepping into Templates
Template Hierarchy
The LoopIf you want to disable the slider on the home page, go to Appearance > Theme Options and scroll down to Home Page. This gives you options to display full posts before the grid, or disable the slider.

In reply to: [Menu] Major Issue with the New 3.6 MenusYour plugin hasn’t been updated in a few years, so it’s probably a good time to change your approach.
I haven’t tried this yet, but here’s an add-on to the very excellent Advanced Custom Fields plugin that might do what you need: http://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-nav-menu-field/

In reply to: Adding links to sidebar which has hash reference to homepageI am not sure how you’re doing it (plain link, yes? hard to tell without seeing real site setup) but I believe you would just code in the full link address (http://www.example.com#item) rather than the page-relative one (#item).
It would require a refresh of the page when you ARE on the home page, though, so you may want to put page-relative links only on the home page.

In reply to: Top-level navigation item should not link to pageI don’t think you need a plugin. WordPress isn’t really set up to create non-linked parent menu items but here is the trick I use when I need to.
If you haven’t already, maybe review this first: Appearance Menus.
–While editing your menu, go to the Links box on the left sidebar. Type in a fake link address for ‘URL’ and the title of your dropdown menu item where it says ‘Link text.’
–Drag your new link over to your menu and place it where you want it.
–Click the top right arrow on that menu item to open up its options.
–Delete the fake link address from the ‘URL’ field. (this stops it from being a clickable link, and means it’s only a dropdown menu parent)
–Move your child menu items underneath the menu item you just created so that they become a dropdown menu.
–Save your menu, make sure it’s assigned where you want, and check your site.
Aside: Here is some information on shortcodes, though it may be more than you need.

In reply to: Can You Call A Function Inside Content Area of a PageAs SpencerCE89 mentions, page templates are a good way to get custom php into your posts. Here are the instructions for creating them, and always use a child theme, as WPyogi says! Creating Page Templates
But keep in mind that you can’t split up your post content with php by using page templates, which is what it sounds like you may want. Your post body will still come out all in one wherever the loop calls

In reply to: Custom PHP PageYou have lots of options when it comes to plugins that support post-specific permissions. Take a browse, and make sure you check WP version compatibility, number of downloads and ratings as well as the plugin description: http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=user+permissions

In reply to: php page templates not updatingAre you looking at the live editor on the live site, or on your local install? Are you sure that particular template is associated with that particular post on the post edit screen? (It sounds like a dumb question, but I have done this numberous times…) Have you tried associating that post with a different template to see if it takes those changes okay? How about a duplicate of your buggy template, named something else?

In reply to: Moving to a host that is already hosting a static siteNo, you don’t have to move it twice, just install it once and then change the site address. Install WordPress into a subfolder whereever you want it to be: http://www.example.com/wp
You can develop in that folder, and the static site will still be visible until you’re ready to remove it. When you’re ready to launch the wp site, remove your static site files, and follow these instructions so that your WP site shows up at http://www.example.com: Giving WordPress Its Own Directory
