Many thanks for your detailed reply.
(I can see you’ve been busy catching up with the backlog of queries – I take that as a real positive from a plugin developer as it gives me reassurance users’ issues are not being ignored. So thank you again!)
As for my issue, your answer tells me exactly what I now need to do – use the Force option – which would never have occurred to me in this context.
Much appreciated.
BTW, although I’m only using the free version at the moment, I’m looking at moving over to your cloud version to take advantage of lossy optimisation.
Keep up the good work!

In reply to: [WP Super Cache] Leverage browser cachingYou could do what I do – use another plugin called WP Performance Booster. This lets you add the browser caching to your .htaccess. (You can also use it to set GZip compression and Vary: Accept-Encoding Header). Ideally you want to move things around so Leverage Browser Caching is the first thing in your .htaccess. Something like this:
# BEGIN WP Performance Score Booster Settings
## BEGIN Expires Caching (Leverage Browser Caching) ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg “access 2 week”
ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access 2 week”
ExpiresByType image/gif “access 2 week”
ExpiresByType image/png “access 2 week”
ExpiresByType text/css “access 2 week”
ExpiresByType application/pdf “access 2 week”
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript “access 2 week”
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash “access 2 week”
ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access 2 week”
ExpiresDefault “access 2 week”
</IfModule>
## END Expires Caching (Leverage Browser Caching) ### END WP Performance Score Booster Settings
Then after this you have the section line starting with the line # BEGIN WPSuperCache

———-Not sure if this is related to the problem above, but I can repeatedly achieve further reductions on previously optimised images, even though I have made no other changes since the previous optimisation.
Example:
Full size – No savings – Previously Optimized
images-2-150×150.jpg – Reduced by 3.0% (280 B) – Previously Optimized
images-2-56×56.jpg – No savings – Previously Optimized
images-2-188×188.jpg – Reduced by 3.4% (443 B) – Previously Optimized
images-2-184×184.jpg – Reduced by 3.2% (393 B) – Previously Optimized
images-2-207×136.jpg – Reduced by 3.3% (367 B) – Previously Optimized
images-2-259×170.jpg – Reduced by 3.9% (674 B) – Previously Optimized
images-2-140×94.jpg – Reduced by 2.2% (143 B) – Previously Optimized
images-2-140×170.jpg – Reduced by 2.7% (255 B) – Previously OptimizedYay! That was it! Thanks so much Tobias. Much appreciated.

In reply to: Recent Posts Widget with Category ExcludeBeen hunting high and low for this solution. Many thanks. Why can’t WP add this to a version update? So many people seem to want this functionality
Thanks nobita. I tried removing both instances of the code you highlighted above but nothing changed.
I was not clear what you mean by
If you use color type ‘dark’.
Maybe line 447.
Hi Peredur. Thanks for your reply. I’ve just inspected the element with Firebug and need a bit more help.
Yes, it was my site URL that was removed. Don’t know why. I’ll try again: my site
I’m using the Raindrops theme and the Google webfonts plugin to specify the font. The sidebar widget class = H2 but when I try to change the font with the Google webfonts plugin, nothing happens, so I wonder if it is being overridden somehow.

In reply to: Raindrops theme: How do I edit H3 formatting?Thanks Gary. Ive now dded the display line to the H3 style and that’s cracked it.
I don’t follow what you say about tidying the code though. I do most of my editing in the Visual text box and don’t really know my way around html, so maybe best I leave it ‘mixed up’. 🙂

Man, that’s awesome. It worked a treat. I spent over two hours trying to fathom that for myself. Thanks for your time and trouble. Much appreciated.
