Hi Jim, for this kind of job I’d use default WP gallery with some simple lightbox plugin for the slideshow effect. And then use CSS selector, :first-of-type or :first-child, to target only the first thumb-size image element in the gallery and assign the display:block to it, while the rest of theme display:none.

That’s different theme in use, the CSS I provided is for Twentytwelve theme. Each theme has its own CSS class name, one CSS code won’t apply to all themes.

There are these divs (and also elements like h2) with "class=gmail_default" and the text within it doesn’t have WordPress auto p tags wrapped around. This I assume it’s from copy&paste from gmail into post/page content.

To fix this, I’d go over the post/page edit and switch the editor to Text Mode and manually delete all those unnecessary div tags.

How do I hide my Recent Posts so it does not show on my sidebar under Recent Posts?

Try looking for plugins like Widget Logic or Dynamic Widgets (there are many others), this will allow you to display widget selectively using WP conditional tags.

I only want it to show in the related category when I make postings in those sections.

It seems you are talking about Related posts rather than Recent posts. There are many Related posts plugins, please look around and pick one that suits you the most.

Another option is to use Display Posts Shortcode plugin and configure it to query posts based on your settings and use this shortcode in the text widget.

First of all, whatever design we do, don’t forget to test it in mobile (small screen).

Now to answer the question: the main reason why the image is not clickable is because it’s absolute positioned and the div below it has this large top padding, so this padding occupied all the image area.

There is other info that you need to know about stacking order. The opacity (or grayscale effect) on image will mess with natural stacking order of elements.

Instead of what you have now for these 3 selectors, use this version, it works (I tested it using Chrome web dev tool).

.latest-leaflet {
	position: relative;
	margin: 5px 0;
}

.latest-leaflet img {
	margin-bottom: -80px;
}

.latest-leaftlet-detail {
	padding: 0 5% 0;
	z-index: 1;
	position: relative;
}

I checked via google cache and found that your site is using Twentysixteen ver 1.4

Are you using the theme as is ? If the answer is yes, then just switch to other theme first and then delete the Twentysixteen theme from your WP and then download a fresh copy of it right there, and then switch back to this fresh copy of the theme.

Another method, just go to this link

https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/twentysixteen/1.4/header.php

and click on “Plain text” at the bottom and you will get the header.txt, now open this file and then Copy All and then paste into your blank header.php and then save.

To avoid coding, use Display Posts Shortcode in the page. Yes, some basic knowledge of query parameters required.

We can also create our custom Author template and query anything we want. WP will automatically use this template when visiting author url. If you want to go this route, there are plenty of articles on how to do this, use keywords like “wordpress custom author template”.

This might sound basic but a sometimes it’s overlooked. Please make sure that your theme actually has sidebar widget area in the post, some themes doesn’t have sidebar by design (the so called one-column theme), but allow the widget area in the footer. Also check theme options, see to it that theme has the option to display post/page with or without sidebar. Some themes have Post template and Page template for users to select, and this usually included the no-sidebar or with sidebar template.

If all the above isn’t the case, then there might be theme/plugin conflicts. Try disabling all plugins and see if problem goes away, if it works then re-enable them one by one to rule out the culprit. If no plugins seem to be the problem, try changing theme, switch to any of the WP default themes and see if problem persists.
