In reply to: Genericon menu icons not displaying correctly@mark Senff
Many thanks again for you observations. I asked my hosting company if they could see anything. I also reset the permissions on the genericons folder and files in twenty fifteen – apparently with no effect.Next thing I get an email from my hosting comapny to say they have reviewed the site and cannot see the fault I reported and, low and behold, everything is displayinmg as it should!
A complete mystery.
While I may never know what the problem actually was, I was feeling very low because no-one had replied to my post until you did. That really was and is much appreciated.

In reply to: Genericon menu icons not displaying correctlyThanks for the ideas.
I thought permissions was the problem but altering them made no difference. So I re-named the twentyfifteen theme folder on my host and re-installed the theme but no change.
What makes it more annoying is that on another host, while not actually tunning twenty fifteen, I can access the genericons file by modifying the url http://stpeterinchains.com/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/genericons/genericons.css – and of course the permissions all appear the same.
What next – should I ask my hosting provider to have a look to see if there is amything odd?

In reply to: WordPress 4.2.2 top navigation has shrunk!@amazingpunk – hope your solution works!
@mark Senff – thanks for the reply. The genericons.css file is there – cannot see the vesion but the link fails if I remove the version. The call must have been created in the menu section by wordpress. Could you point this amateur to where I can see the call and do you have any ideas on how to fix it. Perhaps use the separate post I set up instead of this one. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/genericon-menu-icons-not-displaying-correctly?replies=2
Thanks again. Steve

In reply to: [Collapse-O-Matic] Collapse-o-matic with arrowrightBaden, Apologies for not getting back sooner. Thanks for confirming what the problem is, I think it’s not worth all the tinkering around so I’ll either leave the arrows off which is how I have set it for the present or, if people cannot work out they need to click on a heading to expand it, I’ll put it back on the left. Thanks for the advice.
(Now just need to get someone to look at my problem with wordpress menus post 4.2.2. That’s the problem with a volunteer support force: if nobody replies you’re stuck!)

In reply to: [Collapse-O-Matic] Collapse-o-matic with arrowrightThink I’ve cracked the reason – things that come to you while doing the washing up! It’s the tag=”h3″. Remove that and the arrow moves where I want it.
Would still be interested if you have any suggestions. I would really like to use larger heading fonts but that probably means getting into the css something I have so far always managed to avoid.

In reply to: 4.2.2 update – menu icons alteredHave just upgraded to trwentyfifteen 1.2 in the (vain) hope it might fix things. No luck.
Also dicovered that with Firefox I can at least see where the dropdown arrows should be. On IE I just have to hover the mouse in the right place for a gray box to show – otherwise pure guesswork!

In reply to: WordPress 4.2.2 top navigation has shrunk!I have a similar problem with a development site since upgrading to 4.2.2 yesterday. I am working to transfer a site to the Twenty Fifteen theme. (Actually Child theme to allow top logo)
Prior to upgrading, the menu in the sidebar showed arrows when the menu could dropdown. Now the arrows are gone and there are little boxes – for want of a better description.
Also when trying to view on a mobile, the same happens with what should be the 3-bar menu button.
Site is http://spic.org.uk/wp/
Thanks.

In reply to: [Collapse-O-Matic] Collapse-o-matic problem using heading stylesDear Baden, so much for me thinking I had read the documentation – obviously not well enough! Many thanks. Of course that worked. I now have another niggle but will do some more hunting in the forum before I post again. Steve
Hi,
As the problem appeared when I activated CLI and went away when I deactivated the plugin, it seemed a sensible place to start.
However, following your reply I carried on googling and found this:
“You need to check your theme’s header and footer code. This code can be placed in any of the theme’s PHP files but most likely will be placed in the header.php and footer.php files in your theme directory. Make sure that both <?php wp_head(); ?> and <?php wp_footer(); ?> are being called.
<?php wp_head(); ?> should be placed the line before the end head tag, </head>.
<?php wp_footer(); ?> should be placed the line before the end body tag, </body>.
Make sure both PHP function calls are in the appropriate place of your theme code and reload the page, the LightBox effect should now work.”
I found that the line ‘<?php wp_footer(); ?>’ wasn’t immediately before ‘</body>’
I changed it and now things all work – well so far they all appear to!
I thought it worth publishing this back here in case it helps someone else!
Regards.
Steve

In reply to: [Widget Logic] [Plugin: Widget Logic] Problem after upgrading to 0.52For various reasons I am running the site on a pretty old version of WP
I tried a fresh install with the same results so reverted to v5.0 which seems to work fine. Thanks
