    Thank you so much.

    I changed back to the default permalinks, and all the pages showed up. I then reinstated the post name and the pages disappeared, so I put it back to default.

    Curious as to why that would happen.

    So next, I tried again to update a plugin. Clicked on update now which brought up a screen to log into the server. I put the same settings that I use in Filezilla and it said that the user information was wrong.

    Any idea what the problem is there?

    You’ve been so very helpful.

    Yes the server administrator installed WordPress.

    Here is the link: https://efm.dioceseofnewark.org/wordpress/

    Interestingly, the front page displays and the sidebar displays, but if you click on anything but “home” on the menu, you will get a 404 page. The actual page is in the database. I was able to set all my theme preferences.

    If you want to see the test site to compare, here is the link

    So if I disable the button (return the code as it was in functions.php), the menu will work as on your demo site?

    Ok, I went to the Quark demo site and the @media menu is working in a manner similar to the full page menu. This is not what’s happening at my site. On the site listed in the first post of this thread, the menu appears as one long list, with no opening/closing of the sub-pages

    I don’t want to hide them permanently but I want to control how they’re seen.

    The problem is that there is no obvious structure to the @media links,as there are to the full-screen links. Using WordPress more as a cms than a blog will probably result in more pages and a more complicated menu structure.

    I am not familiar enough with php or WordPress coding, but from what I have seen in the code, could there not be some coding that processed the following concept:

    If page-link target is not a top-level page and if page-link target is not a sub-page of the current page or not a sibling of the current page, then no-display, else displsy.

    If my logic is correct then on the index page, e.g., links for the testimonial sub-pages would not display. The testimonial link would display because it is a top level menu item. On the testimonial page or any of the testimonial sub-pages, however, the sub-page links would display.

    This would make a lot of sense organizationlly and aesthetically – at least to me ?? If more than one top level menu item had subpages, the @media menu list would be hard to follow.

    I hope you can help me with this.

    ok, got the smaller font size.

    Now, how do I hide the submenu under a click to extend?

    Here’s the problem – extra “}” after 2nd php

    </div> <!-- /.col.<?php echo $containerClass?> -->
    						<?php }
    					} ?>
    
    				<?php }
    			} ?>

    Got the following error message.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /hermes/bosweb26c/b2951/ipw.djgroupo/public_html/private/wordpress/wordpress1/wp-content/themes/water-works-conservancy/header.php on line 114

    <?php } ?>

    Take ut the “}”?

    It worked. Thank you Anthony.

    Just for others who might want to use this code change, the last line
    } ?>
    results in those characters being printed on screen. Anyone wishing to have the banner only on the first page should copy from the top down to
    </div> <!-- /#bannercontainer -->
    and use it to replace the code currently in the header.php.

    Thanks again.

    Well, I spoke too soon about reading php code.

    I guess what’s not clear to me is how much of the code including “is_front_page” goes before the banner container div and what goes after the end div.

    I tried doing this twice. The first time I put the following code before the bannercontainer div:
    <?php if ( is_front_page() )
    The second time I added the “{“. Both returned an error message

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /hermes/bosweb26c/b2951/ipw.djgroupo/public_html/private/wordpress/wordpress1/wp-content/themes/water-works-conservancy/header.php on line 81

    Although this wasn’t included in the error message, I put the following the bannercontainer end div
    ?>
    the first time, and
    } ?>
    the second time. I moved them from just before the banner.row end div to just after bannercontainer end div.

    I went for the last code in the section because it seemed to me that the work of sorting out both the number of banners and their contents had to be worked out between the start div/end div of the bannercontainer.

    I guess I need to know specifically the code to move.

    On the menu, I’m sticking with the button. The instructions you gave me didn’t work so I went to look at the style.css for quarktheme.com (as opposed to the demo style.css) and your code there is different. So I decided not to fiddle around with that and leave it with the button

    I hope you can help me out with the banner code. I hope my explanation of what I did was clear.

    Dear Anthony,

    Thank you once again for your clear and helpful response. I have learned so much from your answers that I even understand how some of my changes interfered with the structure of your design. I don’t know if you understand what a quantum leap that is. I’m even beginning to understand the php code.

    I going on vacation with a good book (5-star comprehensive reviews on Amazon) on html5 and css3. I’m goona get this down yet.

    Thanks again.

    I did it!

    In the code that I quoted 2 or 3 comments above, I deleted the php code in between the paired quote marks for both height and width so that it reads height”” width””. That did it.

    Check it out: At full width the graphic is 1009 x 100; when you miniaturize the screen, the graphic miniaturizes. Perfecto!

    Thanks for bugging me about Firebug.

    from above
    “However I noticed in the code” html code not css

    I’m so amazed that I did all this I’m having trouble being coherent.
