 * Based on what I’m seeing from your notes I would contact your Host because it
   must be something specific to that particular hosting company perhaps? I know
   that’s not super helpful but you’re deathly on the right track and they should
   be able to provide some information.

 * Have you considered by chance using [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/)
   There are some default settings there so you could probably use that to change
   the featured image for the page or set a different default?There are a lot of
   settings so it’s definitely worth checking out for your specific question and
   probably in general for the site! Hope that helps some.

   there were some others who posted about similar issues and experiences around

 * I could be incorrect, but I think if you want the pdf to show like that, you’d
   need to save it as an image and then wrap the image with the pdf link if that
   makes sense? Hope that helps.

 * Unfortunately in doing a bit of searching around the web, I wasn’t able to come
   across one that mentioned this as a feature which is a little sad as it’s important
   even if it’s not a project requirement for everyone.
 * The good news is, just because it’s not mentioned doesn’t mean there isn’t one
   that isn’t already. I would recommend testing a few quiz plugins using screen
   reader tools and sites to see if there’s one that might do the trick. Unfortunately
   I know that’s not the best answer, but would be my recommendation.

   new plugin did the trick?

 * I don’t have an exact recommendation other than sort of confirming your research
   with WooCommerce. It’s very powerful and a lot of sites use it, so I think it
   would be a great option and worth exploring.
 * There are a number of extensions and developers who even work solely on WooCommerce
   and extensions. It may take a little bit of work but should be able to handle
   most of you’re requirements and sounds like Mix and Match would do the trick 
   based on how I’m reading your notes above. Hope that helps some!

 * Hey,
 * You could try using the vh unit rather than pixels? If you’re not familiar with
   it, it can be helpful for when this issues comes up. There’s some good tips in
   this article. This might not be the exact fix but worth trying out, it’s the 
   idea, not sure that’s the exact target, but generally this will help when all
   different screen sizes come into play and of course now a days, there’s a ton!
   Hope this helps.

       #extatex-static-carousel-area .item {
           height: 100vh;
       }

 * Hey,
 * Yeah it’s definitely hard to tell exactly the end goal without seeing some screenshots,
   but there are quite a number of plugins available that you might be able to try
   out and see if they fit your needs?

   you need assistance from your hosting company or if you’re able to split it up
   to export the file into multiple files. Hope this helps some [http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-split-large-xml-files-in-wordpress/](http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-split-large-xml-files-in-wordpress/)

   link to a page or site that has similar functionality and I can try and help 
   provide some direction? Thanks.

 * I’m slightly confused at the question, do you just want images to be grayscale
   on page load and then color when you hover? If thats the case you could add this
   to your images:
 * [https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/f/filter/#article-header-id-1](https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/f/filter/#article-header-id-1)
 *     ```
       img {
       -webkit-filter: grayscale(1);
       filter: grayscale(1);
       }
       ```
   
 * and then remove the grayscale to color on hover.
 *     ```
       img:hover {
       -webkit-filter: none;
       filter: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps some.

 * Depening on your level of comfort, you might be able to add one in on your own
   following these steps and if you want to style it up, there’s lots of great options
   and ideas on codepen.io that might be worth a look? Hope this helps get you started.

 * I’ve not used the theme you’re using before, however from the looks of it thats
   an option based on the theme demo of the theme you’re using, so I might look 
   for documentation on how/where to set that up with you’re particular theme? Like
   this page?
