As it turns out, this issue was never resolved for me, and I subsequently abandoned the development of the site.

If you have similar issues to mine, you should look into these solutions:

1. Attempt to re-install WordPress manually (i.e. don’t use fantastico or zacky .etc)
(this has been known NOT to solve [SMARTRec], but heck maybe worth a try)

2. Try another web host
– SMARTRec has reported that 2 out of 3 of their hosts have this issue

It appears the issue is generated from certain web hosts blocking certain inbound/outbound ports on the web servers.

I am sorry I was not able to provide more help.

I want to thank kmessinger for his recurring help, and I want to thank the others that posted they have similar issues: SMARTRec, casper14209
as it has helped eliminate potential solutions.

Due to the frustrations I have had with WordPress across different web hosts (usually slow responsiveness) and now this, I will be abandoning all use of WordPress for future websites.

Good luck to all of you out there, and Press on!

Give me a bit to investigate. I am looking back on the site to see if I ever fixed it.

Try asking on the theme’s dedicated forum: https://cyberchimps.com/forum/free/responsive/
You may get a faster & more informed response there.

I think you already said that 2 comments above.

That is about as helpful as this;

Oh I gotcha. That makes sense. Well the above will show him how to figure out what exactly needs changing.

I use the Responsive theme as well and you can add in custom CSS in the “Theme Options” under Custom CSS Styles.

All he needs to do is add

form div {
	margin-bottom: 0em;
}

To this section and it should take precedence over the theme

EDIT: Please see below comments before doing this.

OK, please bear in mind I am a newbie, but I think i have found what you want.

To find where to edit I went to your page and right clicked on the form and chose “Inspect Element” using my Google Chrome browser. From there I proceeded to try to find the <div> that contained a individual element that you want to bring closer together along with the additional padding underneath it. Then I looked to the right to see what CSS rules it matched. I wasn’t sure if margin-bottom was exactly what you were looking for, so I tried just changing it right there in my browser. Sure enough the elements on the page came vertically closer together.

Refer to this Screenshot i took:

You need to edit CSS to do what you want.

The exact line you need to edit is located at:
https://non-fault-car-accident.co.uk/wp-content/themes/responsive/style.css

line 1245

change it from

form div {
	margin-bottom: .8em;
}

to

form div {
	margin-bottom: 0em;
}

And see how you like it. You may want to change some other things about the spacing, but hopefully this gives you an idea of how to do these things.

Feel free to ask back here if you have any more questions. I will be watching this thread.

The CSS only affects the color and positioning of the call to action button. The link is in the HTML.

Do you have something like this on the page?:

<div class="call-to-action">
<a href="https://example.com" class="blue button">Click Me</a>
</div>

Zacky Installer on my host control panel

debug is still true but I am not getting any error messages at the top of my dashboard. Should I be looking somewhere else?

I renamed my plugins.hold folder back to plugins now and that above is gone but I still have

RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: couldn’t connect to host

hmm…did that and got this.

Warning: include_once(/srv/disk11/1376613/www/comrade.co.nf/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/disk11/1376613/www/comrade.co.nf/wp-content/advanced-cache.php on line 10

Seems to be related to a plugin that I installed then deactivated called WP Super Cache. It’s purpose was to speed up page load times.

I just think that they are a related issue because of the similar error descriptions

well, I could care less about the Incoming links area actually. I just want to get the RSS reader working

I actually decided to reinstall wordpress due to another reason and the issue was present before too.

I should also note that I have tried disabling all plugins. Then I renamed the plugins folder to plugins.hold to remove any hidden plugins. This did not resolve the issue.
