In reply to: Change Content Width on Mobile Version of SiteI bet you’re right that when you were changing the size of the contact area the responsiveness of the design was affected. If you really wanted to test that you could back up your edited CSS files, restore the theme default ones and see what that looks like.
I don’t know if that’s necessary though because your responsive theme may (should?) already have media queries, which you could use to your advantage.
So, what I would do is this:
– In the css files look for “@media” queries. Odds are good that you’ll find a few that are for mobile.
– In the @media sections that you find for small devices, add an additional css rule to set the width of your text to 100% of whatever container it’s in.One last thing, you’ve probably already seen this, but most modern browsers have really good device emulation built in, so your computer can pretend to be an iPhone with a small screen. For instance in chrome, there’s the “Developer Tools“.

In reply to: How do I create Contact form that routes to different people?Hey beckyfiedler, it looks like the contact 7 plugin (free) might do what you want:
https://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/The relevant section:
[select your-recipient “CEO|[email protected]”
“Sales|[email protected]”
“Support|[email protected]”]It does look like there may be a bit of learning curve getting it to behave, but it seems doable. Does this work?

In reply to: Change Content Width on Mobile Version of SiteHey Pascuap, my first reaction to this is that a lot of themes (the default TwentyFifteen theme for example) will manage all this for you.
However, it looks like you’re happy with the theme you have and you’re not afraid of CSS. In that case you will probably find what you want here:
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/media-queries-for-standard-devices/Media queries are one way to make your site sensitive to what kind of device is being used. They also can get pretty complicated pretty fast. If you get overwhelmed I would look at trying other themes. Look for themes that are “Responsive” this means they adapt to various screen sizes.

In reply to: Set Login Page to Private. Can't login.Hey Echolo Music, if you go here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/theme-my-loginand click the tab labeled “Support” they’ll be able to help you out. It looks like there might be a solution here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/theme-my-login-locked-me-out-of-admin?replies=3
But you’re going to be much better off asking this same question on the theme-my-login forum since they’ll know much, much more about the plugin than I do.

In reply to: does anyone know how I can fix this fatal error?Generally the place to start with errors like that is disabling all your plugins. If you can’t access your wordpress admin console because of this error you can use one of the methods here:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/
To deactivate plugins without being able to log in to the admin portal. Does disabling all your plugins get rid of that error? If it does, you could try re-enabling plugins one by one until the error reappears. You’d then know that the last plugin you enabled is the problem.

In reply to: Password reset error – unwanted character in the linkFrom what you’re describing the problem is related to the email service. It sounds like they’re somehow parsing the message differently from gmail. This actually seems pretty likely since this site shows that “>” is actually the HTML entity name for the “>” symbol.
If you want to verify this even further most email services let you “View Message Source” for emails. If you view the message source in gmail and your free email service I bet it will match exactly. If that is the case then you know 100% that the free email service is breaking the link by parsing incorrectly.
So, the problem is likely not WordPress, and the solution (unfortunately) is probably to use an email service that parses correctly, or submit your (excellent) description of the problem to your existing email service and ask them to help you resolve it.

In reply to: WordPress Admin Not Loading UpHey ntaplett, I would definitely ask your IT guy to look into this for you. While your server does look like it’s up if you go to https://blog.bluetooth.com and let it sit for a good long while you’ll eventually get this error:
“Error establishing a database connection”
I suspect that something changed on your server recently that caused this, so I would talk to your IT contact and see if they did any upgrades, changes, etc. recently.

In reply to: Removing "Leave Reply" form from main pageHey cool, I’m glad you found a fix. I’d also mention that as they say here in the last comment:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/remove-leave-a-reply?replies=6Try disabling comments on that page, there is a tickbox on your Page editor down the bottom which allows you to toggle it off and on. If you’re theme is nice, it’ll hide all that for you.
So turning off comments might also do what you’re after.

In reply to: Upload pdf file manually doesn't appearSmart thinking with the downloading and re-uploading. That does seem to show that the problem is not permissions. I had a thought: Is it possible to reduce the size of the .pdf file to under 2MB? I know that’s not a “fix”, but it should at least get this working.
Most .pdf applications including adobe acrobat will let you reduce the size of .pdfs pretty easily.
Another thing to try, can you make a really small .pdf file, upload it over FTP and see if it works? It’s pretty weird that when you overwrote the Bardera09B.bib file it still showed you the old one. I suspect that you’d need to “Clear History” in your browser to see the new version.

In reply to: Image URL Link in Gallery Not WorkingWhoops, it looks like you hit the nail on the head with the “WP Gallery Custom Links” plugin. This picture (the box in the bottom right) shows exactly what you want, I think.

In reply to: Took over a site & can't find thingsSolaireSanders, sorry I was headed down the path there, it definitely sounds like trouble with plugins. I see that your site has both the “Share Buttons” plugin and the “Accordion Slider” plugin.
It looks like you can configure the Accordion Slider by following along with the videos here:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/accordion-slider-lite/And configuring the share buttons plugin should be possible by following directions from here:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/addthis/screenshots/It does seem quite odd to me that deactivating the plugin doesn’t effect the slider, I’m not sure how that could happen.
