    Thank you. I have tried that plugin and it doesn’t seem to work. Do you have personal experience with “Modal Popup Box”? Is there a tutorial somewhere in how to integrate a URL (My UM logon form) into a modal?

    Yes exactly like that. How do I do it?

    Yes, using Divi and The Events Calendar. Found the problem, a previous developer had written some code to limit showing number of events. Issue closed, thanks for the response.

    Thanks Jarret. Unfortunately, this CSS only decreases the width of the Main Menu (the traditional horizonal menu).

    I need the specific CSS to narrow the Desktop Expanded Menu.

    Can you help?

    Thanks!

    I have the same question.

    @westonruter thanks for your involvement. AMP is a great idea in principle but unfortunately the complexities, my other time commitments, and my aptitude make it unmanageable for me.

    I know disengaging fully from AMP is not as simple as deactivate/delete the plugin. Google Developers site describes canonical page source code mods, redirects, etc. To the extent that it’s possible, is there a streamlind / “silver bullet” tool or process that minimizes the amount of manual work? Or will AMP pages just get naturally de-indexed over time? Sorry for these neophyte questions but if I don’t ask the expert, I may do the wrong thing or waste a bunch of time unneccesarily.

    If you celebrate it, Merry Christmas. If not, happy holidys and thank you.

    @oceanwp thanks for your quick reply and I completely understand your position on free support. I will review your paid support and paid theme options and decide from there. I will likely also try another theme (Astra) on localhost, see how it goes.

    Finally (I guess I don’t want to let it go lol): Child themes are a great way to extend and preserve new functionality while remaining on the parent theme upgrade path. They are not an approriate vehicle for production break fixes, unless said break fix is very temporary, and is thoroughly tested before making it to the next sceduled production release. But enough on that.

    Thanks again and continued success to you and your team ??

    Hi @oceanwp @apprimit

    First off, thank you Nicolas and Amit for your quick response and your obvious ongoing commitment to support and grow the theme. I give you a 100% 5 star review on that front. And yes, I see that blog pagination at https://simple.oceanwp.org/blog/ is fine. Thus the root cause of my ongoing problem is still a frustrating mystery.

    Here are answers to your questions, plus a few other facts which may be helpful:

    * Workflow: Customizer> Blog> Blog Entries> Blog Pagination Style>{tried all 3 options}
    (For Single Post settings, I’m using theme defaults)
    * Permalinks: Regenerated as per previous instructions from @apprimit.
    >> Flushed both server & browser caches afterwards to ensure a pristine environment.

    * Best Practices, I always keep all CMS component & dependencies current at all times.
    >> Specifically:
    * WordPress version: 5.0.1
    * PHP: 7.2
    * Page Builder: Elementor 2.3.5
    * Ocean parent: latest version from the WordPress repo yesterday
    * Ocean child: latest archive pulled from GitHub, yesterday
    * Child theme: functions.php modified as per guidance from @apprimit
    >> supplied code snippet for the current pagination problem did not resolve the issue.
    >> supplied code snippet for a previous recent 404 page problem did resolve the issue.

    — Other Info (likely unimportant but here you go anyway) —
    * Root casue is unlikely to be a hosting problem:
    >> I deployed my site locally (XAMPP), same issues as on live.

    * Host: WHC Web Hosting Canada, small (~150 MB) MySQL Db, small (~2GB) used disk space
    >> Shared Hosting with minor and unsurprising latency at times (ftp, database, cPanel)
    >> SSL Cert, unlimited space & traffic, support for Python and Ruby
    >> Web Server: Vendor forced “upgrade” from Apache to Litespeed recently ??

    I know you want to help. I’d like to help too. What other info can I provide, what other actions can I take?

    Did the above and still no luck. I even tried reinstalling parent & child themes. I’m sad to say, but my enthusiasm for this otherwise excellent theme is seriously starting to drop. Please read below carefully.

    Yes I’m new to WordPress and web development, but I have years of corporate IT design and analyst experience. So with that said, I have tactical as well as more strategic concerns. The below is not meant to be a rant or an attack. Rather, I’m hoping for a thoughtful response from the appropriate person(s) at OceanWP.

    Tactical: The suggested functions.php addition to the child theme changed nothing. My blog pagination problems are still the same as described above.

    Strategic: Giving users child theme hacks as a tactical band aid for a parent theme with broken components is plain bad practice. The parent theme should either substantially work as itemized in the various customizer menus, or those less-than-functional menu items get held behind until they’re ready for Production at a later release. Case in point, this pagination issue of mine.

    Functionaly blog pagination is a basic requirement that any blogger would expect from any theme. That it doesn’t work out of the box with OceanWP is bad enough. That it doesn’t work even with modded functions.php in the child theme is even worse.

    *end editorial.

    For right now: Please fix blog pagination. I’d rather see it in the parent theme (where it should be) but I’ll settle for functional code for my child theme for now.

    I honestly don’t want to switch themes, I really do Like OceanWP a lot. But I gotta have at least basic functionality without any muss or fuss. (That means custom 404 pages too, you know what I’m talking about… ?? )
