You can do this with a simple link tag.

Replace that on the page where the other code is. Just make sure you are in the Editor as Text, not Visual!

They easiest solution is to deactivate all of the plugins that you updated. Did that fix the issue? If so, systematically reactivate each plugin and then check your site. I would also recommend clearing the browser cache on each reactivation.

When the site breaks you’ve found the culprit. I would then recommend either contacting the plugin author about the issue and how it is breaking your site.

Hi Lawrence,

My guess is that even though you removed the image from the sermon, it was still in your cache so it still showed up. But when you removed it from the featured image, that caused WordPress to clear out the cache, so no you have no images.

I would suggest that you try adding it to either the Featured Image or the Sermon, and see what happens. If nothing and/or wonky happens, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser and see what that does.

Hmm…. Switch out of that into the 2016 Theme. Then go in and try to add the link.

If that fixes it, then I would say the conflict is in Genesis.

Adding Gzip in the htaccess file is usually the preferred way to add this to your site (since htaccess is a setting and doesn’t need to be rendered out), but you may want to consider using a plugin for this.

Depending what plugins your site uses, they can change your htacess file on activation as well as on update. Then your gzipping is erased and you would never know it.

You can use a plugin or simply put

ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

in you functions.php file. This enables Gzip on all broswers that can accept compressed files.

If front-page.php or home.php aren’t there, then the theme is using index.php.

If you have access to the server and the theme files, just duplicate the index.php and rename it front-page.php.

Then modify away!

If this happened after updating to 4.5.2 the link creation tool is a little different. After you highlite the text and enter the link into the field input and then you have to click the blue arrow button in the popup box.

I had the same issue and I was hitting “Return” to enter in the link but it wasn’t creating the link. You have to click the blue button.

If that’s not the issue, it may be a theme/plugin conflict like allisonplus asked about.

Hate to tell you but your site is hacked. I received a popup that there was a corruption of a Win file…. problem is I’m on a Mac.

First, do a back up of your site(Tools>Export or a backup plugin). Then contact your hosting company and tell them that the site is hacked and see what they can do for you.

Without knowing the plugin it’s hard to say. In the code it is pulling in a post image (the big image) and then a sermon image (little image.)

Are you setting two images per sermon?

Awesome!!! Glad I could help.

You’re welcome!

That could be it, but it seems unusual that an update to core would affect a theme.

There are several plugins out there that let you create custom css, such https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/simple-custom-css/. I would suggest using one of those to overwrite the CSS for this. Just copy and paste

body.td-animation-stack-type0 .td-animation-stack .entry-thumb{
opacity: 1!important;
}

and that should do the trick.

WordPress stores image info in the database, so simply uploading them into “uploads” isn’t going to work.

You either need to import the image meta info from the old database to the new, or if you have no experience with working with databases, just add them via the media manager.

For some reason in the CSS this selector has an opacity of 0:

body.td-animation-stack-type0 .td-animation-stack .entry-thumb

If you change it to 1, the images will show. Have you updated the theme recently?

If you are copying everything from the new site to the old site, there are plugins like eze008 mentioned or you can pull the wp-content folder from the new site down, as well as the database for the new site.

Then you just copy the new database from the new site into the old site’s database and then upload and overwrite the wp-content folder.

Whichever way you go, just make sure that you back everything up first!
