    Oh man! Am I having fun with this! I am discovering new things that I can do to adjust the appearance of my blog, thanks to you! You deserve a gold star, my friend! 🙂

    George, thank you very much for that additional info. It has been a real help to me. While I am pretty efficient with HTML, and while I do use CSS in most of my web pages, inspecting CSS code and altering CSS code via the Developer Tools is something I don’t have much experience with. However, after trying in Firefox — my go-to web browser — and then in Chrome, I finally figured out that I have to select something in the page, and then choose “Inspect” in the contextual menu. Now I am starting to understand exactly how to find specific CSS elements on a page in order to edit them in WordPress. Again, thank you!

    George, another related question: Is there a way to add comments to the Additional CSS section so that I can remember what the code does? For example, in a regular HTML document, you can use <!– some text here –> to add invisible comments which do not affect the actual display in a web browser. Thanks!

    NOTE: Those are actually double dashes, but this website converts them to one dash.

    Thank you, George! That worked perfectly! I noticed while researching here that there are a lot of people who ask these types of font size questions and other CSS-related questions. To avoid such redundancy, and wasting time pouring through dozens and dozens of posts looking for an answer, is there a repository anywhere on the WordPress site where all of these obscure CSS codes can be found in one place?

    I have now sent you the link for a video which I uploaded to my Google Drive account. It may take a bit to process before you can actually view it.

    I have also sent you a private email message which shows the results of autoposting to four social networks — Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Tumblr — using your FS Poster plugin. All four posts have problems, as I explain in my email message to you.

    I have now created accounts for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Tumblr. I will contact you by email after I have recorded the new post screen.

    I just did. 🙂

    Thank you for the explanation. To avoid confusion in the future, I think it would be a good idea if you added some text to the activation screen which explains that. It could say something like this:

    “Create a NEW password to register the plugin with our license server. This password should NOT be your WP Admin password, or your computer’s Admin password.”

    1. YES, I created and activated TWO accounts; one for Facebook, and one for Tumblr. And, YES,I see both accounts in the FS Poster section near the top right corner of my new post page. I always make new posts using the web interface, using the Firefox web browser for macOS.

    2. I publish all posts manually, and I am the only one who has access to my machine, to my web server, and to my WP account. No one else publishes posts on my WP blog.

    3. There are NO errors displayed on the FS Poster log tab.

    BTW, the 400 error I was getting earlier when I tried to activate the plugin was coming from YOUR license server. A 400 error is called a request error. I suspect that maybe your license server was being overloaded with too many http requests. However, when I tried a number of hours later, it worked fine, and the plugin was activated.

    I am currently using version 2.2.0, which I downloaded from your server just yesterday.

    I was having the very same problem as rickpoet. It took me several attempts to add some accounts, because they kept disappearing.

    But even though I was finally able to add some accounts, my blog posts are NOT being autoposted to those accounts.

    This plugin seems to be very buggy, at least on macOS. It is more like beta software, and not stable software.

    Excuse me, but I know what registering means. But you still haven’t answered my questions. What exactly are the email address and password being used to register for? Your website, or what? In other words, is the email address and password being used to establish an account on your fs-code.com website or what?

    Well, this is strange. I just tried to activate the plugin again, and this time it appears to have worked. As I said, earlier, it kept showing me error 400, whatever that is. Why it suddenly activated is beyond me.

    However, whenever I tried to add accounts, the new accounts were not being saved. They temporarily appeared with the green check mark, and the zero changes to a 1 under the “Groups” column, but then all of the settings disappeared. After trying several times, I finally was able to add a few accounts.

    However, even though I was finally able to successfully add a few accounts, my posts are NOT being autoposted to those accounts.

    Your plugin appears to be very buggy. Was it thoroughly tested for Macintosh computers running macOS Monterey 12.0.1?

    arnaudw, yes, I have XCloner installed. However, it was not, and is not, the source of my problem. XCloner continues to work fine for me. Considering how much time I have already invested in this problem, two days ago I took the drastic step of totally trashing my web server setup and blog — well, except for the content in my public html folder — and I set up the web server and blog from scratch. All of my cron events are now working properly again, and the 255 exit code from PHP that was being printed in launchd’s “stdout” file has disappeared. I am relatively certain that the last issue was due to a PHP script called “object-cache.php”, which I got from github. While the content of my main website remained untouched, and safe, I lost about four year’s worth of blog posts — over 5,000 of them. I am now in the process of slowly restoring them from backup files. It will take me many months to get them all posted again. Oh well.

    I am wondering . . .

    I was just comparing an older version of the wp-cron.php file with the one that is currently in use by 5.4.1.

    I noticed that in the current version, on lines 110 and 143, it uses “!==” — without the quote marks — while in the older version of the same file, it uses “!=” with only ONE equal sign.

    I understand very little regarding PHP, but could this small difference in the code produce a different result, or do they both effectuate the same thing, regardless of which of the two is used?

    Maybe I am just grasping at straws here, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

    James, don’t worry about it. As I said, I can do without Infinite Scroll and Related Posts. It is just not worth the time or hassle on my part. My blog works fine without both. Thanks for your time and assistance. Much appreciated.

    Hello Fotis. Thank you for replying. I am assuming what you really mean to say is “I would suggest disabling all the other plugins on your site in case there’s a conflict [and reactivating them one at a time in order to determine where, if any, the conflict lies.]”

    I am including that there just in case someone else comes along, reads your comment, and thinks that you are saying that I should disable all plugins and just use Jetpack. 🙂

    Nah . . . too much time and trouble. James thinks it is just a false positive, so I’ll just leave it. My blog appears to be working fine, and I wouldn’t have even know that error exists unless I had gone in there. I’ve lived with it this long, so . . . 🙂
