Great. Let me know how it goes.

I looked at your page. You entered your photos in the content areas. Delete them and load those images in the correct fields. The featured image in the right sidebar of the product dashboard page is the first image and the image that is shared to the home page. The gallery images are underneath. Load a bunch more into the gallery, and the client can look through those to get a better understanding of your collars.

Here is a video of how to do it

Thanks,
Steve

Big question. Here are some tools to start with.

Ask the university IT/IS dept. if the university uses Active Directory from Microsoft to manage logins to the university systems. If so, there are third party plugins you can install and configure to log staff into the website with their university credentials. We have used products from miniorange to do this. They have a free version, but you likely will require more than the free version provides. The configuration could take some time. You may want to engage a consultant to address it. If the IT department is doing something differently, then you will have to identify what that is and either find an existing plugin or code something to connect the systems.
To isolate content use a membership plugin. We have used restrict content pro successfully. There are others available.

Is there a short timeline for upgrading this version?

You can manipulate header.php to load your logo. However, it sounds like there may be an issue in the creation/upload of your logo file as well. Specifically, it’s going to be super big compared to what’s already there, at 512px, and I think you’re trying to load your logo into the Site Icon slot which is something else altogether. The Site Icon is the little icon next to the name of your site way way at the top of your screen, in the tab. Try this instead:

Go down about halfway in the response from @gurtvh and follow his instructions. That’s the proper way to do it; create child theme and modify header.php

Sorry for the delays in response, I’m moving right now. What theme and plugin are we looking at? Who wrote the code? Have they been able to help at all?

Pasting from Word, as you’ve already figured out, brings all of it’s cruddy styling with it. I ran a search in the plugin repository for “Paste from Word” and received these results.

There is still a paste as text button available. That works. Here’s a screenshot

If that doesn’t help, let me know and I’ll tag some heavier lifters than I.

So others are able to benefit from this conversation, what did you figure out? I’m curious to know.

Check for a plugin that lets you edit the client dashboard in the plugin repository. ClientDash and ABD might solve your problem. I know @brashrebel and @joelworsham are really well versed here.

This may seem overly simple but could they right click and paste as text or, using the WISIWYG editor, click on the paste from Word icon and use the built in functionality?

Thanks to @brashrebel for this advice:
“basically their home page or blog page (I’m assuming) is just listing a specified number of posts, sorted by most recent first

to achieve what they’re requesting, ideally they’d want to modify that query to instead list ALL posts published within the specified date range

Here’s a codex reference

they’ll need to use this function to modify the main query on the page they’re concerned with. Change posts_per_page I think and then simple math for # of days since published.”

If this is overwhelming or uncomfortable, you can go to the WordPress Jobs site to hire a programmer to take care of it. Should be a quick change.

The problem you’re describing isn’t a problem with WordPress. It’s the other way around. Disabling updates is not a good idea for several reasons. The leading one being security. Updates going forward are automatic and will happen in the background so let’s focus in a different direction. the better solution is to work with the theme developers. What theme are you using?

Hi Boxers,
I appreciate your desire to find a solution but, unfortunately, what you’re dealing with looks like a theme issues. Would you please post your question to their support team? Thanks, and please come back here for questions regarding Core. We’re happy to help
