 * You are welcome! Settings will be different for each plugin for each site. That’s
   done by default… the harder part is making each site under multisite the same:).
   Luckily that’s not your case. Glad everything worked out!

   description is exactly what Multisite was designed to do… Here is a great article
   that covers everything in depth.

 * Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news… but the plugin you claim to have downloaded
   is not a well written plugin. Two things it does (which is unnecessary)…
 * 1. It creates it’s own table, which appears to be used for subscribers???
    2.
   It creates it’s own redirect to a custom theme and set of files.
 * My guess is the deactivate and uninstall of the plugin did not remove all traces
   of the plugin. In fact I know this to be true, as there is no function called
   when the plugin is deactivated (a huge no-no in plugin development). Therefore,
   the table probably still exists, and other things that this plugin has created
   have not been removed, such as:
 * The redirect checks it’s table for a flag. If the flag is set to 1, then it calls
   a redirect.php page. It also sets an option (found in your wp_options table) 
   called “rmmuc_nht_plugin_do_activation_redirect” and sets that to true. And there
   is a whole slew of other issues…
 * But since you are not technical and don’t know jargons, as you say (love that
   comment, BTW 🙂 ), then you’ll need someone to help you fully remove this plugin,
   and I don’t think it’s going to be easy to do through this forum.
 * With any luck, you might have a backup of the site before this plugin was installed?
   Otherwise you could FTP to your site, check the plugins folder, and make sure
   the entire “maintenance-mode-and-under-construction-page” folder is deleted. 
   That might be your only option without having to hire someone.

 * You should not use [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) to 
   get the parent stylesheet to your child theme. You should properly enqueue the
   style in the functions.php file:
 * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 *     ```
       <?php
       function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
   
           $parent_style = 'parent-style';
   
           wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
           wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
               get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
               array( $parent_style )
           );
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Using wp_enqueue_style is the cleanest way to enqueue all styles as it has ways
   of checking for the existence of the file to be enqueued, and gracefully and 
   silently fails in the event that it cannot find the file in question.

 * Of course there is something you can write in the functions.php file. That’s 
   what I meant by “look for the hook”. However, since the build in widget is practically
   in-editable, you’ll basically be re-writing the plugin. See here:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-meta-widget-in-theme-file?replies=12](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-meta-widget-in-theme-file?replies=12)
 * Here’s another way to customize the default meta widget code. Perhaps if you 
   do it this way, you won’t need the added Meta Widget Customizer plugin at all
   🙂

 * If you think it might have something to do with the .htaccess file, then simply
   back up the existing .htaccess somewhere safe and delete it from the server. 
   Then, when you visit the permalinks section and update, it should create a new.
   htaccess file for you.
 * If that doesn’t work, or a file isn’t created, restore your backed up .htaccess
   file to bring the site back to where it was.
 * If it does work, trash the old .htaccess file 🙂

 * Because it’s a plugin that’s causing the issue, you would need to contact the
   plugin author and see if there is a hook to call for when the “names” of the 
   links are being printed to the screen. Or, you can look through the code and 
   look for the hook yourself. I doubt it was coded in such a way, so you’re probably
   looking at a JS solution, since you don’t want to hack the plugin in case of 
   future updates.

 * You need to be more specific. How did you transfer the files? FTP? Are the images,
   plugins and theme files literally not on the new server? Or are they there and
   just aren’t being recognized? Did you transfer the database along with the files?
   What errors, if any, are you receiving?

   can see if it allows you to log in.

 * Every page, if you want the page to take on the device’s width and be zoomed 
   appropriately when loaded. It’s best to put this in your header.php file, inside
   the head tag. Then it will show on all pages.

 * Glad to see you got the code in the right spot! The ad removal is not something
   I can help you with. According to what I read:
 * [http://support.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/docs/topics/3333](http://support.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/docs/topics/3333)
 * It looks like it was tagged to allow ads when it was uploaded/created. You should
   be able to sort through that documentation and play around in the video file 
   itself to find a way to turn off the ad. I don’t have an account of my own, so
   I can’t see all the options.
 * It looks as though there is a checkbox of sorts according to this document:
 * [http://support.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/docs/setting-ad-source](http://support.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/docs/setting-ad-source)
 * Good luck!
 * P.S. I don’t know if it matters to you, but your videos don’t work in IE version
   10 and lower…

 * If you want to ignore subcategories, then you need to set “hierarchical” to false(
   it’s true by default). Also beware of “hide_empty” as that is also set to true.
 * But in your code, it looks like you have “child_of” set to 40, which means you
   are already looking at a subcategory set. Is this a typo?
 * It would make more sense if you gave us an example of how the structure is set
   up in the back end, and how you want it to look with this code. If you are looking
   at getting the top level items that are children of 40, then it’s a different
   situation from getting top level items that are not children of anything.
