Load this up using your browser, and compare that to the one in your computer
{your site url}/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/enLIGHTenment-Light-Therapy-Flyer1-1.jpgAre they the same of quality?
If the answer is yes, then the reason you see it not as crisp when displayed on your site is the weak contrast color of text on background. The big image is resized with CSS to fit inside content width, smaller version of image with weak color contrast of text on background makes it difficult to read.
If the answer is no, then I assume your browser couldn’t load the full image and it cached that unfinished file. Try delete browsing history or delete cache and reload the page again.

In reply to: WordPress Gallery within Post, StylingThe default WP gallery displays in columns as shown in this example
https://codex.wordpress.org/The_WordPress_GalleryYours displays in “full-width slideshow” this means there is some function from theme (or plugin) making it to be like that as a special feature. If this is the case, refer to your theme’s documentation on how to disable this option.
It’s also possible that the method you actually used to populate the images are not WordPress’s way of using default gallery, but rather theme/plugin ‘s way of creating that gallery which designed to be display as slideshow.

In reply to: Removing content from malware infested siteHostgator, seem to have established that my site has malware, and so Hostgator cannot even see WordPress (apparently. This is not clear)>
There must be some kind of misunderstanding here. Your site is still accessible from the front end, so it’s impossible that your hosting provider can not see WP installation there.

In reply to: There are no automatic breaks in text@ginaritter Don’t be afraid to try new theme. Switching theme just to try them out do no harm to the site. Another thing to consider is that we need to have regular full site backup, this is what everybody should do routinely. Most shared webhosts have this one-click backup option, some of the hosting companies do backup automatically, but some won’t.

In reply to: Need help with WordPress formattingAs I said, I would like to set up a page per category (I think) so that my home page shows an annotated graphic per category such that when it is clicked, it navigates to the posts for that category.
What you are asking for is very doable and been done countless of times.
For instance, I have a category called Restaurant Reviews and one called sites we’ve seen. Using these 2 as examples, my homepage would show 2 graphics that I’ve annotated each with their respective Category name. When I click on the Restaurant Reviews pic, it would navigate to the “category” page that shows all posts having to do with Restaurant Reviews. There the latest posts for that category would show.
We just need a regulay Page set as static front home page. In the content of this Page, just manually put in image linked to its associate category archive’s url, and that’s it. Of course, some additional CSS might be required for special alignment of those elements.
There are a lot of themes that pull categories with some of its latest posts and displayed in the front homepage in a so-called magazine design. Those need some extra php coding to tell WP to query each category. But what you need here is just a linked image to each category archive, so the php coding is not necessary. In this case, you just need to know some basic html, a linked image to category archive’s url, and maybe some additional CSS for alignment if needed.

In reply to: Config.pjp and .htaccess goneI’m 99.99% sure your uncle’s company doesn’t need a multisite. I’m positive that he just needs site structure like page/subpage or category/tag, things that normal WordPress can do without going multisite. In case the company really really needs a multisite, then it’s time to hire someone to take care of this.
To answer your question, if your site is up and running it means the
config.phpmust be there, its location is at the root directory, you just need to use file explorer to navigate to it. The.htaccessis usually at the same location, WordPress will create it once user set the permalink option.You can always ask your hosting provider on how to navigate through your site directory.

In reply to: There are no automatic breaks in textI’m sure this is not a CSS problem because there is this bit in theme’s CSS
#content p, #content ul, #content ol, #content dd, #content pre, #content hr { margin-bottom: 24px; }The problem could be either A or B
A: The copy and then pasted text doesn’t have hard return (one enter without shift) between the block of texts (paragraphs). We can test if this is the case by simply type in some texts and separate each block of text with one full blank line, do this on a test post and see how it looks on the front end.
B: The text are okay (with a hard return / one enter without shift) for each paragraph but there is some theme/plugin function conflicts that prevents WP from automatically inserting in the
<p>tag. We can test if this is the case by disable all plugins and make a test post. If this fix the issue then re-enable them one by one to target the culprit. If this doesn’t work, it could be the theme itself that causes the problem. It depends on how old the theme is, with recent version of WP, some functions in the theme might not be compatible.The info in theme’s CSS says that it’s a theme based on Twentyten, so it’s pretty old. I’d strongly suggest using a newer theme, there are plenty out there to choose from and to customize on. In general, it’s not a good idea to keep using old theme, software needs to stay updated, some famous themes used over at WordPress.COM get retired because it’s impossible/impractical to update theme that’s built using old function/markup.

In reply to: Visual & Text editor “TABS” not showing@vtrav, thanks for the update! This is new to me too. I can’t believe tethering could be the issue, it might have something to do with latency (I guess).
Anyway, congratulation! you got it figured finally 🙂

In reply to: Adding links menuNow you have that page template with sidebar assigned, that’s why it shows up. What is in there right now is Meta Widget, to get rid of it just click to remove it, or sometimes theme set to show this as a default when there is no user put in widget yet. What you need, in this case, is a Custom Menu widget, and when we select our own widget the default one will automatically disappear.
See this info here.

In reply to: Got wrong data for installation from Agency?Depending on how much had been done, we might not need that database if the work prior are just demo content. If this is the case we can continue the project by getting the theme from
wp-content/themes/theme-namefolder and see what custom design is there. At least we should have the logo.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding links menuThe theme you are using (currently) is Twentyeleven theme. The sidebar is widget area. You can put any widget into it including menu link.
The only thing we have to do is choose a page template that has sidebar. We can do this by assign the page template within page edit, look for the page template drop-down metabox at right side, if it’s not there pull down screen option at the top right and checkbox for it to appear.
