I’m not Mark, but you can do this by setting your body or page width to 100%. However, be aware that setting the width this way (in percentages) will have consequences to mobile users – their page at 100% will be very narrow. Check you theme to see if it renders differently on mobile devices. If it does, the theme has incorporated media queries already to support mobile devices and you can alter the top level css without a problem.

I don’t know whether your site uses a container or page div. If you link to the site, I’ll look at it to determine the name of the container to overwrite.

You can try:

body{
    width: 100%;
}

#page{
    width: 100%;
}

You might also google ‘Liquid Layout’ to understand how this is done. If your main div is set to percentages but the sidebars are set in pixels, they won’t stretch and you’ll have a very wide main area. And as always: unless you have a custom css file, operate on a child theme.

Hope this helps.

Have you tried Expound theme support? They seem to be fairly responsive on their support page, and the issue you’re describing isn’t natively wordpress. If the theme is changing the layout when you set the page to the home page, it’s a configuration of the theme. The only other suggestion I have is to check the template on the page for your posts – that would be in the right hand column.

If it is indeed the theme changing the layout when you set blogposts to home, then the override could be to make a custom template for your posts, or a custom page. However, if you’re going to mess around with the theme, you want to make a child theme first. None of this is particularly difficult, but it’s probably best to troubleshoot the theme and settings first, especially if you don’t write code.

So what you’re telling me is that the theme will change the format of a posts page if you set it to the home page? Does your theme itself have settings? What theme are you using? This could be better addressed through support for the theme if the issue is as you say.

I can think of a few ways to fix this but I don’t want to drag you through a bunch of backend code if it’s not necessary. Are you self hosting, or hosted on www.ads-software.com?

I fixed this by reinstalling the css file for the plugin every time I move the site. I don’t know what the issue is but it’s persistent every time I move.

I’m not sure what the issue is here: you can reset the default landing page in settings to one showing your latest posts, or any page with posts. Is the page you have showing the posts not available in the Settings>Reading drop down? Which version of WP are you running?

As I understand this question, your problem is not in redirecting the page, but that you want the default url to be different. Is that true?

Are you having problems with just a single plugin, or with all your plugins? Did you check the plugin support site to see if they have addressed any incompatibilities?

It is the responsibility of plugin developers to make sure their plugins will work after an upgrade, not the responsibility of core WP developers to be compatible with every plugin. Maybe you could find some better information searching support for the specific plugin.

I’m running 3.7.1 and I can still see the Links item on the left side of the Menu page and the option to write a custom url on the post. Are you having trouble making a custom url, or just adding a custom url to a custom menu?

If this feature disappeared, what theme are you using? Did you check the theme’s support to see whether it had issues with the new version of WP?

Yeah it’s all good. Just use the latest build. It took a bit of to and fro, but it’s ok now.

Heya. I just emailed (to the email on your site) the dump from the option_value column in the options table. Let us know what you find.

They started throwing themselves away at midnight. I’ll send you the trace tomorrow I’m not working today. But we got it. Naughty naughty docs.

I recognized the <?php typo on the original and fixed it but didn’t alter anything else. Now however, I copy-pasted your new code and the script is running. So we shall see. The docs haven’t thrown themselves away yet. Maybe in the morning. I’ll let you know.

It’s definitely got to do with the login. Although the docs are all marked as ‘logged in users’ can edit, when I logout, it shows me editing. However the doc also lets me edit, and when I save, it shows me logged out and the admin bar reappears.

A clue: the admin bar disappeared, and I just had a white space at the top of the page. When I logged in the issue seemed to resolve itself: I stopped getting a message that I was editing the docs. Logged out: the docs are showing me editing. They haven’t trashed themselves yet though.

I’m not sure the error was a 503 actually on the script, it just said the page wouldn’t load btw.

Your script crashed my site. The event is happening as I post: I can see most of the docs are being edited by me although I’m not logged in. I can’t log it since if I load your script in mu-plugins the site won’t load (I’m getting a 503 server error).

Next?

Thanks Boone. I’ll run it, but for the record, the docs haven’t trashed themselves within the last 24 hours – since the php.ini file was updated to support a larger max_input_vars and other fields. This was a requirement of a long form we were using on the site. I’ll let you know if I see any other issues. I will be messing around with the form (to write a postback script) so if it continues and is related we may spot it.
