In reply to: Portfolio Links go to 404Hey Matt,
Not entirely sure this will work, but sometimes this can be a permalink issue. Sometimes just re-saving the permalinks will resolve the issue.

I would try that first, if it doesn’t resolve the issue it could be a plugin conflict? Disabling all plugins and reactivating one by one may lead you to the issue. Hope this helps.

In reply to: Remove hover opacity and reduce image sizeJo,
Looks like you may have figured out the first part, I’m not seeing anything happening on hover of the dog image?
As far as the image size for the post, it’s probably set in your functions.php file. You can create a new size or edit the existing size to suit your needs:

You’ll also need to change the it in your template as well if you create a new image size, likely in posts.php
If you have already uploaded a bunch of images, you’ll want to regenerate thumbnails as well for existing uploaded images to get reset. This plugin is really helpful:

Hope this helps resolve some of your issues.

In reply to: Posts are sharing wrong imageIf you’re using an SEO plugin, such as WordPress SEO by Yoast you can set the image you want displayed for social sharing. I believe this is also the case for some other SEO plugins, usually you’ll see these settings below the post content editor. Of course in most social networks you can override in the share posts as well. Hope this helps resolve your issue.

In reply to: Posts are coming in grey/black and not colorful or noticableYou’ll need to modify the css of your theme. Right now it’s showing all active links to be set to gray or #777777.
In your css file on line 344 is where you can change the hex color to something other than gray:
a, a:visited { color: #777777; // Change This Hex Number text-decoration: none; }Hope this helps resolve your issue.

In reply to: why is "No results found" showing on some pagesSounds like some of the pages may have been renamed or removed? You may need to relink these pages if that’s the case. You might also want to try and resave the permalinks to flush out any older ones and for pages that may have been adjusted.

Hope this helps resolve your issues.
I would recommend checking out Sucuri if your site has been compromised. I believe it’s well worth the investment to get back up and running and on the good graces of Google. Hope this helps:

You need to first register the widget and then you’ll want to display it in your header.php file. You may also need to style it in your css file, at the bottom of this article there are some tips to get started as well. Hope this helps.
