Yes this has screwed me all up too and cost my boss hundreds of dollars. He does counseling based on dates and having no idea the date format was changed, I miscalculated several dates and now we’re in a mess. It would be great if someone could provide a way to at minimum, display the date on the purchase order with the month written out.

Hi yes! Sorry thought I responded to this already. It seems to happen when I rerun the favicon generation. That removes the featured link from what I can see.

I’ve just put back that link as featured. Actually, this seems to be another problem/potential bug that I’ve been experiencing. Each time I make any changes to the site, I seem to have to go back and select that link as Featured. I’ve marked it featured at least a half dozen times since we started this conversation.

Since we last spoke, I encountered other problems and had to change the theme. This is the basic Twenty Fourteen theme and the Featured Link is still not highlighted, bolded or standing out in any way other than listed at the top.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Yannick,
Updated the plugin, cleared my cache and the link is featured but still not bold or standing out in any way. By your above comment of ‘see if the original styling code works’ did you mean that you have coded something in already and I don’t need to worry about changing any CSS?

If that’s the case, I can’t see any changes, however I know browser cache sometimes gets weird. I did check it on Firefox too, which I rarely use, and no styling there either.

You should still be able to use the above link to check the page. Let me know if my code is wonky still from all the things I tried in my CSS. May have forgotten to remove some of them.

Thanks for checking this for me! We’d like to really start promoting some of our links.

It’s hard telling how I left the CSS code. I tried several things. You can see I featured the link for New Earth Nation but there’s nothing to make it stand out. I’d like it really to be bold with a big larger font maybe. Even a box around it would be great. Something to distinguish that it’s featured.

Thanks in advance!

Yannick, thanks so much for your help. It seems that a combination of W3 Total Cache having preview settings enabled, and having to put the CSS in my theme style sheet instead of the link library CSS (even though wp_head is called in my header) has fixed the issue. I’ve got it how I wanted it to look now so I’m leaving it as is. Thanks!!

ok did that. cleared all cache. refreshed the page and it’s still not doing what I think I asked it to do. Here’s the code I saved into the stylesheet in the LL menu. Really wanted to try float:left, but wanted to see if the code is at least being read. Doesn’t seem to be doing anything… I’m not a CSS master so maybe I’ve done something wrong? (again)

.resize{
float:right;
max-width: 16px;
max-height: 16px;
}

Hmmm… I am using W3 Total Cache. I have just cleared all cache and refreshed the page. Still nothing. Would you mind checking again? I added the class inside stylesheettemplate.css. Is that right place?

Thanks!

so am I using the Additional Details field for the Image correctly? just the name of my CSS class – ‘resize’? This doesn’t seem to be working. I changed the code to max-width and max-height in my CSS file.

So far so good! Thanks!

you are amazing. Thank you for the quick support on this.

haha yes! Because I run a pretty busy website and don’t possess the skill to undo damages that upgrading always seem to cause me. I’m more afraid to upgrade than to risk security issues. I just tried upgrading a simple plugin the other day and the entire site and my whole server with all my other sites began overloading on requests and I had to have my host revert the whole thing back to that morning’s backup. Without fail, when I try to upgrade anything, something gets completely messed up.

?? I know you’re not in the business of supporting that mess, so is there anything else I could do in this case?

This is the exact same problem I was having. I found a ton of posts on this, and only found bits and pieces of my answer. Many of the posts suggested it was a problem in the .htaccess file, which it DID turn out to be. Here’s my unique situation and how I resolved it.

I installed a fresh installation of wp into a subdirectory on an existing domain. I received the redirect error described above. I had the 301 redirect information in place in my .htaccess to redirect https://www.mysite.com to mysite.com.

(Code looks like this:)
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mysite.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ https://www.mysite.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Now, I wanted to keep that there, because my wp blog is in a subfolder and I still wanted my root dir to redirect appropriately, but it was causing a Firefox redirect error.

So….I took out the above code from .htaccess, got into my new wp blog, went to general settings and changed wp url and blog url to INCLUDE the www (since that’s my preference)…then went back to .htaccess and readded the code for 301 redirect.

I do hope this solution helps someone. I worked on it for a while until I figured it out.
