In reply to: How to create a form.I would suggest you take a look at Formidable Forms or Ninja Forms plugins. They both have free and commercial versions and good documentation on their websites.
In the General Settings for a form, Formidable Pro has an option “Allow logged-in users to save drafts”. I think it’s available in the free version, but not sure.

In reply to: Post Format problemHave you made any changes recently that might relate to the problem – for example adding a custom post format? Do you have any plugins that relate to post formats?
Maybe worth disabling plugins or temporarily rename the plugin folder to see if that makes a difference.

In reply to: Text appearing out of line in the sidebar?This is the css that’s setting it:
.input-submit, input#submit { width: 258px; height: 40px; border: medium none; background: url('images/submit.png') no-repeat scroll left top transparent; color: #FFF; text-transform: uppercase; cursor: pointer; }It’s taking the width from the submit.png, so if you just reduce the width, the right hand side of the image is cut off. Maybe if you change it to use the read_more.png?

In reply to: Adding schema.org markup to wordpress menusWould something like this work?
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '<nav class="nav-primary" role="navigation" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement"><ul id="%1$s" class="%2$s">%3$s</ul></nav>') ); ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: twentyfourteen-child is not workingThe actual code from twentyforteeen’s stylesheet is this:
.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta,
.page-content {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 474px;
}That’s 5 items having their max-width set to 474px. If you use the equivalent in your child stylesheet the max-width will probably change. I’m betting this might work too:
.site-content .entry-content {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 950px;

In reply to: [Make] Having issue getting menus/pagesWhen you say you added ‘Home’ do you mean you created an actual page called ‘Home’? We’re talking here about the main Pages section as shown here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages_Screen
When you go there – 4th item on the main menu, below ‘Media’ – how many pages do you have, and what are they called (assuming it’s not the list you provided above)? If there isn’t a Home page there, then create it there by clicking ‘Add New’.The Appearances->Menus edit screen as shown here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen
has two tabs at the top: Edit Menus and Manage Locations. The list you provided looks to me to be a menu you’ve created and edited. It’s name appears in the Drop-Down selection at the top. But it’s not the menu that’s displaying on your website.If you go to the Manage Locations Tab, you can select which Menu is displayed in the menu locations that your theme provides. Compare the menu selected for the Primary Menu with the name of the menu you’re editing. If no menu is selected in the Manage Locations tab, then your theme is probably filling the menu with all the Pages you have.

In reply to: [Make] Having issue getting menus/pagesIncidentally, if esmi is reading this. The problem (or rather advice being asked for) has nothing to do with the Make theme and is not specific to it. But hey – you’re in charge.
To anyone trying to make sense of this thread, please see the previous thread linked to in my previous post, which esmi just closed before creating this one.

In reply to: [Make] Having issue getting menus/pagesWow! we got moved. Did you read my last response in the previous location? –
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-pages-are-not-showing-up?replies=14As for the menu limitation – that would be 2 ‘menus’, but you can definitely have more than 2 pages listed in a menu, otherwise it hardly counts as a menu!

In reply to: New Pages are not showing upThe Static Page option lists all the Pages that you’ve created in the Pages section. As I said, I think you want three pages, the ones you have, and one with the title ‘Home’. You can add whatever content you like to this page.
You’ve currently got a menu, with the two pages on it. You edit it in Appearance->Menus. After you’ve created your Home page and set it as the Static Front Page, you may just be able to add it to the menu in the same way as the other pages. If so just do that – select it in the Pages list on the left and click Add to Menu.
In that case you can ignore the confusing bit of my post! The reason I added it is that I know there is some circumstance in which you have to add the link to your home page differently – I’m afraid I can’t remember exactly when/why this happens – if it happens, you can add it from the Links Item below the Pages list. If you click on ‘Links’, then hopefully my original description will make sense.

In reply to: How do I change font size of subjects within sidebar widgetsIt’s probably a variation on what you used for the title font. For example if you used .widget-class h3 { font:…} then try .widget-class li { font:…}
Try right-clicking on the text in the displayed web page and selecting ‘Inspect Element’ (or something similar depending on the browser). See if you can find what tag the text is wrapped in and if it, or a parent tag, like ‘ul’ has a class or id you can make use of.

In reply to: What to back up?What about the wp-config.php and .htaccess files in the root folder? I see some accounts of backing up that mention these and others that don’t.
Esmi – your answer on the thread below mentions them as files “not to upload”. Does that not imply they should be backed up?

Well, there’s clearly something in the theme that’s checking for the presence of a menu and if it can’t find one, it’s displaying that message. So the real question is, why isn’t your menu showing. I assume you want it to?
The Edit menu screen has two tabs at the top: Edit Menus and Manage Locations. Did you set a menu in the second tab?
