In reply to: Are there any recommended image dimensions for galleries?Thank you for the information James.
I realise this is getting technical so please bear with me. Does the fact that WordPress generates many scaled versions mean that one is best advised to upload a higher quality — meaning larger file size — image to prevent image degradation as WordPress upscales or downscales the image? Or will that slow down the drawing of a page so that one had better upload a lighter image?

In reply to: Are there any recommended image dimensions for galleries?Thank you James. This is very helpful.
What about retina screens though? How does one strike a balance between image dimensions and file size when such computers are used these days?

In reply to: A setup that looks like PhotoshelterThank you for the reply.
I had a look at that filter but unfortunately it doesn’t include a way to search for themes which resize images also when the browser window’s size changes vertically.
Most responsive themes resize images when the size of the browser window changes horizontally, but not vertically.

In reply to: Remove a ‘special thanks’ link from a php file?One thing though, Boldgrid is actually free though it is also offered with some hosting services.

Thanks for the replies.

In reply to: Learning to change CSSI found a way to remove the special thanks link on BoldGrid’s “Gridone” theme. The relevant code isn’t in the footer file that the WP dashboard shows as editable (called entry-footer.php). Rather one has to access the theme’s files over FTP. There will be a directory called “inc” which contains several footer files. That’s where the code can be removed.

In reply to: My "about" page delivers a 404 but I can't figure out whyBarnez, thanks a million for this – it worked like a charm. I feel somewhat stupid for not having thought about it myself (sheepish smile). Thanks again.

In reply to: Charlie Parker error "could not create directory"Aha, thanks esmi. I have contacted the host but as I wasn’t sure what directory this concerned they couldn’t really help me.
Could I perhaps set the permissions myself on the temp directory? If so which should they be (and where’s that directory)?

In reply to: Charlie Parker error "could not create directory"Hi esmi
Well, the error is only what’s in the subject field. The total text of the message is:Downloading update from https://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.8-new-bundled.zip…
Unpacking the update…
Could not create directory.
Installation Failed
Thanks for the suggestion. I have since discovered that it is now possible to feed media from the outside using the Add Media function. I always thought it was only possible to upload but this has apparently changed.
cheers

In reply to: Gaah, how do I do this?Thanks for the compliment! I appreciate it.
You have solved the most tricky thing I’ve had to struggle with on the site since I redesigned it over a year ago. I can’t tell you how incredibly grateful I am. Thank you so very much! I’m absolutely thrilled to have this sorted finally (and I’ve learnt a lot in the process, too). Thanks also for your patience and for following this until the conclusion.
All the best

In reply to: Gaah, how do I do this?Happy continuation on the Christmas (as we say in Sweden) and thanks very much for your reply.
I think I’ve stumbled upon a problem. I added the wallpaper class to the ul, but now the submenu items show next to the main (first-level) menu items.
<a href="http://philipus.com/wallpapers">WALLPAPERS</a> <ul.wallpaper> <li><a href="http://philipus.com/wallpapers-wildlife">WILDLIFE</a></li> <li><a href="http://philipus.com/wallpapers-nature">NATURE</a></li> <li><a href="http://philipus.com/wallpapers-iphone">iPHONE</a></li> </ul.wallpaper>It is as if
display=nonedoesn’t work on the Wallpaper submenu. It is odd, because the CSS of the Wallpaper submenu is identical to that of the Galleries submenu.What could be wrong?

In reply to: Gaah, how do I do this?Wow this is great – you’re helping me solve an issue I’ve tried with for over a year.
The tiny problem is that I don’t use the WP Dashboard for the menu. I sort of typed it together myself with the help of the net.
I have added the new class to style.css like this (and placed it immediately below original
#navigation li ul):#navigation li ul.wallpaper {margin:0; padding:0 5px; display:none;position:absolute;left:340px; top:-3px;background-color:#fff;}Where I stumble now is how to link the class to the code in footer.php. This is the code:
<li> <a href="http://philipus.com/wallpapers">WALLPAPERS</a> <ul> <li.wallpaper><a href="http://philipus.com/wallpapers-wildlife">WILDLIFE</a></li.wallpaper> <li.wallpaper><a href="http://philipus.com/wallpapers-nature">NATURE</a></li.wallpaper> <li.wallpaper><a href="http://philipus.com/wallpapers-iphone">iPHONE</a></li.wallpaper> </ul> </li>Not sure if that’s how to connect to the wallpaper class. What happens is that the Wallpaper submenu appears vertical and to the left.
Thanks for your continued help, I am super grateful
