I seem to have fixed it. I noticed a invalid JSON message in the Dashboard. I googled “wordpress the response is not a valid json response” and saw this really cool trick: - **Regenerate the .htaccess file**: A corrupted `.htaccess` file can cause this error. * Go to **Settings > Permalinks**. * Without making any changes to the permalink structure, simply click **Save Changes**. This action forces WordPress to regenerate a new `.htaccess` file with default settings. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Root and Sub Directory Execution Problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/root-and-sub-directory-execution-problem/) * Thread Starter [mod keys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willibrown/) * (@willibrown) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/root-and-sub-directory-execution-problem/#post-18028788) * I believe that I have this solved. * The .htaccess file at the root has no pointers to the subdir (as suggested by the linked page above: [Giving WordPress Its Own Directory](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/server/wordpress-in-directory/) * The index.php has the subdir as below: * `_/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */_ _require_( dirname( __FILE__).'/ subdir/wp-blog-header.php' ); * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Event List Development Design](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-list-development-design/) * Thread Starter [mod keys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willibrown/) * (@willibrown) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-list-development-design/#post-8891033) * Thanks.

I believe that it is being caused by the navigation menu. (I used a trick to fake remove it and scroll shows entire image tops.) * I would remove the menu and see how that changes things. That would give a clue to adjusting the template to work around. * 1. Login (as an admin) to your site and click Customize 2. Click Menus, then Menu Locations 3. Unselect your Top Menu (by choosing Select rather than an actual menu) 4. Hit the Save and Publish button and see what it looks like then * If that confirms the problem/solution for you… there are ways (CSS) to make that menu area transparent but you might then have problems with the menu text disappearing into dark areas of the photos (ah, design trade off). * If you need site admin help, please give me a call. I’m honest and affordable.

The front page starts with a full size header and all other pages are meant to load with the page “scrolled up” to the content area. * What contact form are you using?

Make a copy of /template-parts/page/content-front-page.php 2. In the child theme folder, create folders /template-parts/page/ and paste in your copy of content-front-page.php 3. Look for the line: `', '' ); ? >` and change the style to suit yourself 4. Example: `',' ' ); ?>` * I can’t really counsel you on the CSS… too complicated. But suffice to say that the example above is a hack, rather than an elegant solution. You might as well just skip the php and code it: `

YOU ARE COOL

(Recommended!) * The front page content output is controlled by /template-parts/page/content-front- page.php on line 33. * You could either use an inline style or define a new class and stick it into your style.css (child theme!). * You could also just hard code the title but that’s not really recommended… * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Twenty Seventeen] Front-page text keeps behaving like sidebar was there](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-page-text-keeps-behaving-like-sidebar-was-there/) * [mod keys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willibrown/) * (@willibrown) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-page-text-keeps-behaving-like-sidebar-was-there/#post-8666549) * In this vein… I want to remove sidebar from single posts but am getting empty sidebar container (css not working right). I have twentyseventeen child theme, with sidebar enabled. (Works on blog page, all posts, categories, etc.). * My research told me to create a single-post.php (copied from single.php in the parent) and delete the get sidebar call. Then add CSS to my child theme style. css like so: * ``` @media screen and (min-width: 56.875em) { .single-post .content-area { float: left; margin-right: -100%; width: 100%; } } ``` * But it isn’t working.
