In reply to: Widget page, footer sidebars 1,2,3,4, not working rightI’m really a neophyte at this. I’m just starting to help my son update a website at his church that he’s just inherited. Under “plug-ins” I discovered UpdraftPlus -Backup/Restore. When I click on “settings,” it looks like a backup from today and one from yesterday do exist- if this free plug in is working right. When I click on “database” (of the choices –Database,Plugins,Themes,Uploads,Others) I have the option of downloading to my computer or deleting from the server. To the right are also 3 buttons – backup, restore, and view log. If it’s a backup from hours before I made my mistake, would it be safe to just click on the “restore” button? Boy, if I do, I’ll be holding my breath! Should the website just end up looking like it did about 2pm this afternoon?

In reply to: I don’t want some items in the menu to link to an actual page.Sorry. I tried to follow your directions, but on the Appearance…Menu page, I can see a list of pages and a list of the page structure of the primary menu. I tried putting a check mark by the page I don’t want to show on the web, then I opened the Custom Link box below and typed # for the URL. I saved the menu, and refreshed the pages, but no change took place. I also clicked the down arrows next to the appropriate page on the structure list. I couldn’t find any way to add a “custom link.” I really don’t understand what “add ‘Custom Links’ to your menus as Parent elements” means. I did click the Custom link item on Screen options. What am I doing wrong?

In reply to: The primary menu is displayed inconsistently on webpage.My last reply hasn’t actually shown up. I deleted the browsing history and my computer site looked bad. I made the changes to the custon CSS you suggested and that didn’t work. I wondered if there was anything else I might do. Then I did what’s actually posted above.

In reply to: The primary menu is displayed inconsistently on webpage.Andrew, well now I’m embarassed. Your replies did help me. I had printed out the CSS of the website so I could try to figure out as much as I could. Right near the missing } you found, the next section had to do with ul li {list style: none;}. I had done some trouble-shooting to figure out why bullets I had put in weren’t showing up and learned that I should look at the CSS to find “list style: none” and change it to “list style: disc” I had done that awhile ago. When I changed that back to “none” and deleted my browsing history yet again, the right menu was back!
Maybe I’ll put those bullet changes in the “Custom CSS” and see if it works.
