In reply to: Responsive Header ImageI am not a css expert, but it appears that the img tag style sets the “min-width: 460px”. When you change the user agent width to less than 640px, the image is resized and “squashed” as you stated. I think if you were to set the min-width: to something around 640px, your image would not get “squashed”.

In reply to: Trouble with MigrationI suspect the issue is related to the “WordPress Address(URL)” and/or the “Site Address(URL)” found in the settings -> general settings. You may need to update the links in the database directly. There is some information found in the codex that suggests manual edit of the database for multisite migration, although it may not apply to your specific situation.

In reply to: convert finished website to use https> … wont work with a self signed certificate?
Self signed certificates should work, however user agents (browsers) will not identify the authority as one of the “authorized” authorities. I use them often for internal web sites.I found this link regarding iis 8.5 and ssl. The link suggests there may be some issues with iis 8.5.
Self Certs can be tricky, since the cert server must be visible from outside your network, via fqdn (fully qualified domain name).

In reply to: convert finished website to use httpsMichel,
I think you should have a look at the following Link. It describes changing a wordpress url. Even though you are changing from http to https, they consider that changing the url.
It is unclear from your post if you are using “multi site”, or just multiple independent sites. If you have multiple independent sites, you may need a certificate and IP for each site. The codex documentation states for multi-site,
Alert! These directions are for single installs of WordPress only. If you are using WordPress MultiSite, you will need to manually edit your database.

In reply to: Layout problems on Internet Explorer and tabletsI tried your site on a ipad-mini using safari, and android nexus-7 using chrome and all looked good. I am an IT Mgr, and for the last few years I continue to have issues with IE, specifically with non-crisp fonts. Make sure you are using >= IE9. Apparently there are issues with < IE9. The fix I implemented on windows had to do with DPI scaling. It also may be drivers, video card, “Clear Type”, … Here is a link to a support article that describes some of the issues:

In reply to: remove a live themeI would suggest contacting the theme developer/company and inform them the steps performed. They may be able to provide you with a new key or steps required.

In reply to: How do I remove wordpress header upSorry did not understand the your context. The term “header” has specific meaning in wordpress.
As for the “Login” at top of page, generally it does not show on a site. I tested a blank site with your “faq” theme, and it did not show the login bar on top. I suspect there is a plugin installed that requires users to login.
Here is another post regarding this topic.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: best way to re-organize large siteWhat you are suggesting is ok, however it might be better to create a sub-domain instead of a sub-directory. For example you may wish to develop your new site at
www.new.normalURL
instead ofwww.normalURL/new
. Most internal links are relative to the root of your web site. When you finally move fromwww.new.normalUR
towww.normalURL
, your links will likely still work without modification.Also, when you flip the switch, you can have
www.old.normalURL
point to the old site.Hope this helps.

In reply to: how to integrate my website into wordpressSince your current site is php, you may be able to migrate slowly by creating a main page, and then link to your existing pages, then migrate a small number of pages.
There are some “post” importer procedures listed at: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Importing_Content
The following plugin imports from an export text file:

In reply to: Can't Update, Delete, install PluginThis works if you have access to the plugin directory via ftp or command line.
If the plugin in in a directory, you can try to rename the plugin directory, and then go back into plugins. When you view the plugin maintenance, the plugin should be removed.

In reply to: How to resize a displayed pdf using htmlYou could embed the pdf inside a page. This would give you more control over the size and behavior of the display of the form. I was unable to open the url you provided, https://www.jfowlerphotography.com. to view your form.
Here is a link that describes different ways to embed a pdf
Using this information from link, I added a pdf to a page for testing:
<style type="text/css"> <!-- #pdf { width: 90%; height: 600px; margin: 2em auto; border: 10px solid #6699FF; } #pdf p { padding: 1em; } #pdf object { display: block; border: solid 1px #666; } --> </style> <div id="pdf"> <object data="https://.fullurl.to.your.pdf#toolbar=1&navpanes=0&scrollbar=1&page=1&view=FitW"" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%" > <p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser. No biggie... you can <a href="/pdf/sample.pdf">click here to download the PDF file.</a></p> </object> </div>
