Thanks for the link to deque @macmanx. On a very quick look, that and the links look really helpful.

And thanks for the WP links too.

And thanks too @anevins. I was going to ask you “how to I check maunually?” as I haven’t a clue. James’ link leads on to a site explaining what to do, including solutions.

I’m in the midst of re-writing major section of my site and will be swapping themes too. I’ve a small testing site so I’ll give the accessibility testing a whirl there before doing anything on the current site.

Many thanks, both of you.

Thanks James,

I hadn’t realised that almost all recent themes are responsive, hence not having a filter for it.

So I only need to filter for accessibility, then check out more details in any I like the look of.

I’ll check out that link. (Can’t remember off-hand whether it’s the one I’ve already seen, but it’ll help to have more information.) I’ve also seen a link to an accessibility tester so I’ll try that out as I overhaul my site. Had a quick look already and hope there’s a page there on how to interpret it. Different types of flags all over the place and I don’t understand the legend yet!

Thank you.

Thanks for posting your solution.I’m having the same issue so I’ll give Ultimate Category Excluder a try as well.

I hope someone from Ultimate Member will have a chance to reply to this thread at some point though as I’d like to know whether this is expected behaviour for UM. Or whether I’ve got a setting wrong or if it’s a bug. I couldn’t find mention in the documentation that posts would still be visible on the front page, though maybe I missed it.

I’d prefer to use as few plugins as possible, not only because of risk of conflicts, but because at some point I’ll be handing the website over and it needs to be as simple as possible. So if UM will hide restricted posts from the front page, I’d prefer to do it in UM rather than UCE.

Thanks.

Update: I looked for that code in functions.php in the parent theme and temporarily changed it from 6 to 4. Yes, only 4 featured posts showed up. But in a 3×2 grid. Do two empty cells looking peculiar. So even if there is a way to change from 6 to 4 in child theme, there must be some other changes needed somewhere to change the grid.

If indeed that’s possible at all.

Thanks.

Thank you

Oh Goof! Ignore what I just wrote. It doesn’t work in Custom Includes in Suffusion. I’d tried it out first by adding the code to the functions.php in Suffusion. Forgot to take it out again. Now I’ve realised and reverted my functions.php to normal, it isn’t working. So Custom Includes doesn’t seem the solution.

Child theme it would have to be unless someone in the Suffusion forum can tell me another way ??

Thanks. It works!

My theme already has a functions.php so (on the test site I try things out on) I’ve just added the code at the bottom of the functions.php that’s already there.

I’ll need to find out about making a child theme. Read about it ages ago but have forgotten so will need to try again. I use Suffusion theme which is very customisable. So there might be a way of adding that code and have it carry over into theme upgrades instead of needing to build a child theme.

Edit. Just found out I don’t need a child theme with Suffusion. I can add the code in Suffusion Options >> Back-end >> Custom Includes. So it’ll be carried forward with theme updates. Very quick and easy to do. ??

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

Thanks.

Wow, that was quick!
Thanks.

Whoops! There’s a missing bit. I forgot to end the font face command.

I think corrected is

<p class="minipost"><font face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans L, sans-serif"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px"><strong>%title%</strong></span></font face><br/> %post% %more%</p>

Thanks. It’s good to know I’d been looking in the right place.

I’d seen those so had used the strong for bold. The colour seemed right anyway. And I’d seen elsewhere in the CSS file that I needed size 14px but am still having trouble writing the actual code. It goes in the widget control panel, so I’m not editing a php file directly so thought I need html code? Is that a bit different?

….. pause while I go hunting round the web again for html …..

ah! I’ve just found “span style” in html. Playing around trying to work out where the = ” and : go ……

Got it! Will try to write it here in case anyone is looking in the future. Hope I can write it here so it shows and doesn’t code.

<p class="minipost"><font face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans L, sans-serif"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14px"><strong>%title%</strong></span><br/> %post% %more%</p>

Hi.
anyone able to advise me about this please?
Thanks.

Thank you. That is so helpful. It took almost no time at all to istall the plugin and it’s sorted the whole site. Very easy to change the options too. Wow!

Many many thanks.
