By default, WordPress doesn’t provide the gallery functionality you describe. This means it’s added either by a plugin or a theme (themes often add many advanced features to the admin panel, they’re not just a pretty skin for the front of your site).

In your case, it looks like it’s the theme. In fact, in the support comments on the page you linked the very latest post is from a person with the same issue, and as you can see the theme author recommends upgrading to the latest theme version to fix it.

Hope that helps 🙂

No problem at all. If there is an issue with your .htaccess files on multiple sites your host will hopefully be able to tell you what caused it. Good luck!

Almost there, :first-child is actually a valid selector but sadly :second-child is not.

Try just applying the new width to all footer columns, and then overriding for the last column. It’s important that the code for the last column comes after the code for all columns, like this:

.footer-column {
  width: 35%;
}

.footer-column:last-child {
  width: 26%;
}

If you’re still having trouble and adding !important doesn’t help as in the example above, see if you can get a demo site up live anywhere. I’m happy to help with CSS issues but often the solution is very specific to the site so the above code is a little bit “general”. Hopefully it helps!

Ok I found a thread from a few years ago that is full of people having the same confusion with Wild West Domains telling them to renew through WordPress. You can see that thread here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/renew-domain-name

Self-hosted WordPress, downloaded from wp.org, has absolutely nothing to do with domain registration. However, wp.com does offer domain registration and as you can see from the last post in that thread, this is apparently what caused the confusion for at least one person.

So the question becomes, have you at any point had an account on wp.com rather than wp.org, and is that where you bought the domain? If so, and that’s the account you’re unable to access, it’d be worth going through wp.com support as that’s a different thing entirely to this forum.

You’re very welcome!

If you figure out exactly which was the culprit, please consider letting the plugin developer know about the issue and hopefully it can be resolved.

The easiest way to get WordPress to do most things if you’re not too experienced with coding yourself is to look for a plugin. I did a quick search and found the Soundy Background Music plugin, which I’ve not personally used but looks up to date and popular enough.

The plugin page includes instructions on how to install and set it up, hopefully that should be everything you’re looking for.

Hi

Trackbacks don’t come with a username or email as they’re actually links from another site, they’re not added via the comment form. This also means they don’t go through your captcha, so no need to worry that it’s not working.

You can choose to publish a trackback you’ve recieved, in which case the other blog owner gets a link to their site in your comments section, or you can delete/spam it in which case they get nothing.

Since you’ve disabled trackbacks that’s probably problem solved, but here’s a good article explaining what they’re all about: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/what-why-and-how-tos-of-trackbacks-and-pingbacks-in-wordpress/

Hi there

Looks like your site is down at the moment (it’s giving me a blank white page). Please post back when it’s up and running again and I’ll take a look at those issues for you.
