In reply to: [Contact Form 7] How to control maximum width of input fields?Since WP forums have NO internal search, I finally used the following in https://google.com, which gave me the solution to this problem:
https://www.ads-software.com/tags/contact-form-7 maximum width
CSS solution:
.wpcf7 input[type=”email”] {
width: 90%;
height: 1em;
}.wpcf7 input[type=”text”] {
width: 90%;
height: 1em;
}.wpcf7 textarea {
width: 90%;
height: 10em;

In reply to: 2 plugins want the same position in admin panel linksLet’s be clear about this:
That you do not experience a problem does NOT negate the existence of that problem
Furthermore, when WP core allows plugins to use an API call for which there is NO API functionality for said plugin to predict effects of using said API call, especially when multiple plugins also use same API call, that is, by definition, a deficiency in that API call — ergo WP core
Period.

In reply to: 2 plugins want the same position in admin panel linksOK, let’s agree to remove AIOEC from this discussion
That being said, this problem does NOT go away by excluding AIOEC
WordPress API allows plugins to use a call: menu_position
Near as I can tell, WP API does NOT have any facility for:
[A] Avoiding collisions
[B] One plugin to know what ‘menu_position’ another plugin chooses
[C] The admin/user to manually rearrange plugins (especially in case of collision)Regarding ‘good’ plugins vs. ‘bad’ plugins: Are we to define this solely on the basis of whether or not the plugin developer utilized this WP API call?
One “solution” is for the WP API to remove this function call entirely, then this cannot happen.
NOTE: I do NOT advocate this solution; rather, I only point out that this is a more logical conclusion than that stated above.

In reply to: 2 plugins want the same position in admin panel linksYes, I understand with what you state, although you’re assuming the simplest circumstances
WordPress API allows a plugin to specify a position in this leftmost, vertical admin menu; but, WP API does not (AFAIK) facilitate any plugin knowing what position other plugins have chosen. This, IMHO, is an error on the part of WP
Worse, if 2 plugins choose the same position, the last one to choose overwrites the first, and that first to choose cannot be seen – nor used – even by those plugins that facilitate rearranging plugin menu positions
Again, WP API provides 1/2 the functionality required and that, to my mind, is an error in WP code
I was given this fix by AIOEC:
Both plugins have the same position in the admin menu. To fix this, please go to-wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/app/helper -> class-ai1ec-app-helper.php on line 216
Change 'menu_position' => 5, change to 'menu_position' => 7
Although this does work (I needed to use 9, not 7), it will be overwritten by the next update; and it does NOT stop another plugin from overwriting my manually selected position
Again, this is a temporary fix, allowed by WP API for an error in WP API code

In reply to: 2 plugins want the same position in admin panel linksYes, I get that. In fact, as I stated: “Their solution is to edit one of the plugin files to change its position from 5 to 9”
However, as I stated: “It seems to me that this is a deficiency in WordPress itself”
I do not believe that plugins ought to know anything about any other plugin, unless it speaks directly to plugin functionality
The WP Admin panel is presented by WP itself and the ability to present a link in that leftmost, vertical column is functionality provided by WP
I’m hoping to get a position statement from WP coders in this regard
“yes, it does” — what ???

In reply to: [BruteProtect] Your IP … has been flagged for potential security violationsHi, Sam!
If I can get FTP access, will deleting the plugin get me in? If so, can I reinstall, then whitelist this IP?
Please, advise. Thank you.

In reply to: [Twenty Thirteen] How to change page width?Yes, of course
But, what escapes me, not yet comfortable with all of the HTML5 stuff, is what code to change and what code not to change

In reply to: [BruteProtect] No API Key NeededI’m in the same boat.
Recently, I installed BP on mdsresource.net hosted on godaddy and getting the API key went without incident
Tonight, I installed a new site: goldenvalleycalendar.com and installed BP and it insists that I already have the API key
What am I missing?
