I wonder if the fact that the widget is being placed in a widget footer area that is the full width of the screen rather than just a sidebar’s width has anything to do with the image distortion.

I just spoke with someone else who can see the same issue with larger width widget areas.

Hi Andrew:

I will be able to do this over Thanksgiving as this is a production site that is working fine otherwise.

I just wanted to test out the new 4.9 features before one of the other content editors tried it out and complained to me. 🙂

Is there a video, page, site dedicated to visually showing what to expect and how to use the new improvements?

Thanks again,
Richard

Hello DionDesigns:

Thanks for responding.

I do realize that step one is to establish a conn with the MS SQL DB via PHP. I will be doing this in a WP custom dummy page that I use just for this sort of thing.

Once I have a successful connection I would like to display the results of the query in a nicely formatted way. One thing that is nice about the ASP.NET page that I am converting to PHP is that its output to the screen has pagination. The reason this is important is that some queries can return hundreds of large results and that makes for too long of a page.

Thanks,
Richard

Hello:

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions.

I did not believe that I would have any issues with regard to the first question of WordPress multi-site interfering with other WordPress installs. Thank you for confirming this.

As for the second question of using a temp URL to stage a WordPress site I have a few more questions. I am new to this so please be patient with me.

:: Steps as far as I understand ::

Step 01 – Create new IIS website with new publicly accessible IP.

Step 02 – Install WordPress to new IIS website with the new IP.

Step 03 – Bind http://www.newsite.com to the new IP address? Will this interfere with the existing public production site that is currently using the URL? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question.

Step 04 – Change /etc/hosts file to point http://www.homepage.com to the development site’s IP address. (Will this make it impossible to edit or reach the production site of the same URL?)

Step 05 – Going Live! Update the real DNS record with with network admin to point the A-records domain name from the old IP to the new IP.

Thank you for your time. I wonder why this isn’t something that is part of the WordPress documentation. If it is please tell me what I site I can read.

Once more thank you,
BC

I did try “refreshing” my permalinks. It had no affect.
