TBH, I deleted Imsanity and paid for a month’s subscription to Imagify. Took 10 mins to install and set up, and the whole library resized and optimised within the hour.

My host doesn’t have this available, seems it would need to be installed.

Had a look at the install instructions and it looks like a complicated pain in the *ss.

Nothing in WP is ever simple. Can’t even resize and image with another set of installs and messing about.

I am not sure is this problem applies to other image resizing plugins but will have to give others a try as it seems Imsanity can’t perform as required.

All my images are compressed. I am not sure why Imsanity has to see the image filesize as an issue, I just want to resize a photo, I don’t need Imsanity refusing to do so cos it creates a bigger file. I will just compress it again after the resize, no big deal.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I use the random text plugins on most pages so this approach would not be possible. Thanks anyway ??

Same requirement here, I can’t find anything to perform this simple task.

Thank you very much for your replies. I am keen to check out the Multiple Category Selection Widget however I was hoping for more of a database driven product catalogue type thing rather than making all my featured artists an individual post page, although I agree it looks like this suggestion could be looking in the right direction. I wonder if this would mean that I couldnt have an actual blog on my site if all my bands and artists were essentially posts!?

Thank you also Frumph. I’m afraid I have little to no coding knowledge so I am nervous of customising anything ??

Your first point is spot on and I just realised it myself too. I literally began investigating wordpress a couple of days ago and this is clearly a rookie error. Thank you for your help, really appreciated and problem solved now. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately my site is not live at the moment, I’m just building it but I would of course love to show you.

However you have just hit on something.

I deactivated the plugin I mentioned and this has stopped the changing of the nav label in the menu bar.

However, it re-introduces another problem.

In my content area I now have the page title displayed as a header i.e. COVERBANDREVIEWS – just like that.

I do not want this either lol

The idea was to have a search engine friendly page title but not display that title in the content area but a more appropriate one.

If the header changing plugin is going to upset other areas of the site, would you have any suggestions here at all please??

Thank you.

hey, I really appreciate the help.

I don’t know if I’m describing this well enough really, my tech jargon is not very mature yet!!

I have a slide show at the top of my home page (well all pages), then three text boxes underneath that and they’re all formatted in widget settings to look nice etc. No probs there.

I have a right hand column under these with a media player and some more text beneath.

Then on the left, under my slide show and three boxes I have this “edit post” link and above that the title of the page “home” in h1 formatting.

I don’t want that “thing” there! ??

Every new page is the same, slide show, 3 boxes, right column all good then in the white, clean content area to the left an edit post link.

I understand people wont see that, that’s fine, but why is it there and how can I lose it ??

I have no page.php but I have index.php and this was all that was in it:

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

What do you reckon?

Thank you for your reply, that’s really helpful.

Some pages I may not want a post/text feature on, for example if I just wanted to put a web form on the page via my form widget – drag, drop, done.

This blog/text feature seems to be on every single page I add. Forgive my relative ignorance here but what would be the quickest way for me to identify whether there is any CSS code that in the theme files that is making sure this text area is automatically added to pages?

Sorry, I know this must be vague, I hope it makes some sense!?

Cheers!
