hmmmm, couple of questions, though

– Is it wise to do it this way without knowledge?

– It seems I have to install XAMPP and within that environment I install phpMyAdmin?

– is it just installing and then copy all the html from your link?

– Or is there more to it?

Thanks for your help, however the issue is not solved.

I have done all the steps, but both in the newly installed 4.2 version and after the upgrade to 4.45 I still get:
[12-15-16 10:16 am] 200 Unknown column ‘resolution’ in ‘field list’

Do you have other options I can explore?

I have a question before I proceed with step 3.

If I upload the unzipped version, that will create a new folder called wp-slimstat.4.2.
I noticed that in this wp-slimstat.4.2 folder there is a folder called wp-slimstat. I’d say, that’s the one to use – but then there will be 2 folders with that name. Which to me sounds like potential errors.

So, is it possible that after step 2 (disabelling via the dashboard) I do have to rename the 4.5 folder to something like wp-slimstat.4.5?

That way, WordPress will look at the right (4.2) folder, no?

OK, I can try that.
However, I get an errormessage:

Het geüploade bestand overschrijdt de upload_max_filesize waarde die in php.ini is opgegeven.

Rough translation:

The uploaded file exceeds the value of upload_max_filesize which is defined in php.ini

After Googling, the solution seems to be to upload the file via FTP.

Quick questions:
1. Does the 4.2 version work with WP 4.7?

Is this the right sequence:
2. I start the process with disabling current version? Via Dashboard? Or rename via FTP?
3. Then upload the file to my plugin folder?
4. Activatie 4.2 via WP dashboard?
5. Then I just upgrade the plugin when prompted via the WP-dashboard?

Thanks!

Hi Matthew,
I’m using Visual Form Builder.
I did as per FAQ: created a folder ‘css’ and added ‘vfb-custom-css.css’.
Did that via Filezilla.

For some reason the created file and folder don’t show up in the editor in WordPress. It seems WordPress doesn’t see them, because my edits (other font, other background color etc.) also don’t show in the form.

I just copied the code from your site and changed the values.

My questions:
1. Did I do something wrong?
2. If I instead overwrite the visual-form-builder.css, will I loose my changes when there’s an upgrade to the plugin?

Thanks very much!

Ok, I tried what you said, including activating TwentyTen.
The result? HTTP 500 error.

Now, the only index.php file I could find, had the following code (before I added your code, including the double quotes):

<?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’);
?>

So, I’m not sure if that’s the file you meant?

My Atahualpa is not really modified, I just changed some settings via the graphical interface and added maybe one or two lines of code via the CSS inserts option. That is, not in a matter of speach, but really only two lines of code.

Well, it’s on the page that I want the rotating pictures. So I have to add the HTML to the page, I guess.

I will try some things I googled, like this and this.

What I will do is add a function ′slideshow′ to my style.css and call that function in the HTML of the page.

Or something like that… I′m no programmer, but I can understand a bit of the code and I hope this′ll be enough to see what to use and what not.

This way, I can keep my image directorie as I like.

Shame there is no simpler solution or plugin for that. But in the end I will′ve learned something new. Anyhow, thanks for the help, Swanson.

Ok thanks very much, but it doesn’t work. I probably make some little mistake in either my adjustment to category.php and/or index.php.

I tried to include it in index.php as you wrote. I deleted my original code from the category.php. But the result is now a blank page. If I add the original change to category.php again, I have the old line back. On a blank page.

So now I reverted to my original change to category.php and no change to index.php. This to make sure my testpage is there to see for everybody at terrorkids . nl – including the origional change to category.php.

Also, I wonder why you have chosen to use category description, instead of category name. Is there a reason for this?

The code looks as follows:

<?php $tdDesc =this is a description of the category apples(); if ( ! empty( $tdDesc ) ) echo ‘<div class=”archive-desc”>’.$tdDesc.'</div>’; ?>

Hmmm, I didn’t mention that I use Atahualpa and I love it. So, activating twentyten is not my desired option.

I don’t know why I didn’t find this last time I googled, but, here is the solution: a straight A from webpage test on all items – ok, except the first byte, but that’s more with hosting to do than optimising

Very happy!

I’ve tried it, but it requires me to copy all images instead of pointing to an existing directory. That was just what I wanted to avoid. It like it to be the same thing as with the header: here’s the location, you do the rest.

I only want to say: here are the pictures, please show them one by one.

Now I have to make copies of all pictures and I think that’s a waste and probably also not the best for the performance.

If anybody has a simpler solution, please come forward!

@swansonphotos:
it’s terrorkids . nl (remove spaces)

Oh and by the way, apparantly it’s not easy what I want.
I tried some things in the CSS-School but it just didn’t help.

So, I now know at least that it’s not WordPress related, but CSS.

I can make a fake heading
Just by using strong letters. But since I’ve read that search engines look for headings, I just would love to get the same result, using heading.

In the italic text above you can see the lay out I desire. Now, how to get the text I can make a fake heading a real heading, while keeping the same look!

Thanks for that, however, no solution.

I tried to insert it in style.css
and also I tried to add it in the Atahualpa Theme Options, via the Add HTML/CSS inserts.

Now, I saw your code refers to the post-headline, is that the same as the heading? Becasue I have a problem with the big amount of space which WordPress automatically adds below the headings.

Maybe you already checked this:

I had the same problem, but then I found out that my hosting provider wasn’t using apache. This was after enabling .htaccess and trying all kinds off things…

It was using IIS server for windows.

The workaround there is another. You can find it here

I hope this helps.
