There was an update for my WP theme the very next day (or maybe even one waiting to be updated) that solved the problem. I wish all the issues could be so easily resolved!

Thanks for the email, Alin – I will respond to you there!

Yes, I still have what the other developer created, via plugin, with custom code. It doesn’t look like there’s a perfect match between that code and what is now actually on my functions php page, but I’m pretty code-illiterate. Here’s an excerpt from what’s there now, that references js:

/**
* Enqueue scripts and styles for front end.
*
* @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
*/
function twentytwelve_scripts_styles() {
global $wp_styles;

/*
* Adds JavaScript to pages with the comment form to support
* sites with threaded comments (when in use).
*/
if ( is_singular() && comments_open() && get_option( ‘thread_comments’ ) )
wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ );

// Adds JavaScript for handling the navigation menu hide-and-show behavior.
wp_enqueue_script( ‘twentytwelve-navigation’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/navigation.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), ‘20140711’, true );

$font_url = twentytwelve_get_font_url();
if ( ! empty( $font_url ) )
wp_enqueue_style( ‘twentytwelve-fonts’, esc_url_raw( $font_url ), array(), null );

// Loads our main stylesheet.
wp_enqueue_style( ‘twentytwelve-style’, get_stylesheet_uri() );

// Loads the Internet Explorer specific stylesheet.
wp_enqueue_style( ‘twentytwelve-ie’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/css/ie.css’, array( ‘twentytwelve-style’ ), ‘20121010’ );
$wp_styles->add_data( ‘twentytwelve-ie’, ‘conditional’, ‘lt IE 9’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘twentytwelve_scripts_styles’ );

Below is an excerpt from the developer’s plugin code. Like I said, it’s not a perfect match, but maybe you can spot something that’s causing your plugin to not work.

I have no idea if this is proprietary information that I shouldn’t go posting here. Please let me know once you’ve seen this, and I will delete the bulk of it.

function remove_class_filter( $tag, $class_name = ”, $method_name = ”, $priority = 10 ) {
global $wp_filter;
// Check that filter actually exists first
if ( ! isset( $wp_filter[ $tag ] ) ) return FALSE;
/**
* If filter config is an object, means we’re using WordPress 4.7+ and the config is no longer
* a simple array, rather it is an object that implements the ArrayAccess interface.
*
* To be backwards compatible, we set $callbacks equal to the correct array as a reference (so $wp_filter is updated)
*
* @see https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/09/08/wp_hook-next-generation-actions-and-filters/
*/
if ( is_object( $wp_filter[ $tag ] ) && isset( $wp_filter[ $tag ]->callbacks ) ) {
$callbacks = &$wp_filter[ $tag ]->callbacks;
} else {
$callbacks = &$wp_filter[ $tag ];
}
// Exit if there aren’t any callbacks for specified priority
if ( ! isset( $callbacks[ $priority ] ) || empty( $callbacks[ $priority ] ) ) return FALSE;
// Loop through each filter for the specified priority, looking for our class & method
foreach( (array) $callbacks[ $priority ] as $filter_id => $filter ) {
// Filter should always be an array – array( $this, ‘method’ ), if not goto next
if ( ! isset( $filter[ ‘function’ ] ) || ! is_array( $filter[ ‘function’ ] ) ) continue;
// If first value in array is not an object, it can’t be a class
if ( ! is_object( $filter[ ‘function’ ][ 0 ] ) ) continue;
// Method doesn’t match the one we’re looking for, goto next
if ( $filter[ ‘function’ ][ 1 ] !== $method_name ) continue;
// Method matched, now let’s check the Class
if ( get_class( $filter[ ‘function’ ][ 0 ] ) === $class_name ) {
// Now let’s remove it from the array
unset( $callbacks[ $priority ][ $filter_id ] );
// and if it was the only filter in that priority, unset that priority
if ( empty( $callbacks[ $priority ] ) ) unset( $callbacks[ $priority ] );
// and if the only filter for that tag, set the tag to an empty array
if ( empty( $callbacks ) ) $callbacks = array();
// If using WordPress older than 4.7
if ( ! is_object( $wp_filter[ $tag ] ) ) {
// Remove this filter from merged_filters, which specifies if filters have been sorted
unset( $GLOBALS[ ‘merged_filters’ ][ $tag ] );
}
return TRUE;
}

Thanks so much for your help and support here!

Thanks, and I’ll try this tonight, or at my next free opportunity, and let you know how it goes!

Oh, my. Oh, my. ((If you lean in close, you will hear the sound of several choruses of angels breaking into song…))

Stacy, it worked!!!

Boy. Can’t thank you enough. WHAT a relief to have my site looking exactly like I wanted it to. And what a relief to have the three of you here help me out and teach me how to do it myself. What a thrill. It’s not the monster I was fearing. Stacy, excellent suggestion that I hunt down an online tutorial for CSS and HTML. Now that I’ve mastered this tiny bit, I feel so much more confident.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
