I found this thread, and the second solution given worked just fine.

Your theme adds a div which overlays the featured videos – the click event never reaches the video itself because the .mask element blocks them:

<span class=”thumbnail-post”>
<div class=”featured-video-plus […]”>[…]</div>
<div class=”mask”><div class=”icon”></div></div>
</span>
To work around that you either

need to remove the .mask element using jQuery:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $(‘.mask’).remove(); });
or disable pointer events for them:
.mask { pointer-events: none }
This is nothing to be fixed by the plugin because its very theme specific.
Best regards, Alex

Alex, perhaps include a disclaimer for evolve theme users that this may be the case, or a more general disclaimer of themes which may use the div/.mask feature.

WordPress isn’t an email system, it’s a blogging platform.

You’ll setup the email addresses through GoDaddy and access them through your own email app(s) or whatever GoDaddy offers for webmail.

For assistance with setting up email at GoDaddy, you’ll need to check GoDaddy’s documentation or contact GoDaddy.

I have been able to set up all email accounts on there own, where I login from the godaddy workspace. However it seems that those do not allow email forwarding. If I want that I must set up the email in such a way as it is ONLY a forwarding account and I have not been able to send messages from that email if it is set up as forwarding.

Sorry I wasn’t clear before. Remember I’m still new.

To clarify, I added the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin. The very first paragraph on the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin homepage says:

This WordPress plugin reconfigures the wp_mail() function so all mail from your blog can be sent by SMTP instead of using PHP’s mail() function. The plugin also adds an Options > Email page which allows you to configure the settings from the admin interface of your site.

The implication being that I can use some form of email through the blog. So if it does not allow me to use email in the way I described in my original post, then what mail is the plugin author referring to, and what is the purpose of the options page which I can configure after installing the plugin?

It sounds as though you may not be completely familiar with how a WordPress powered website ‘works’. ??

Yes that is exactly true. As I get more familiar I can see I have more control than I initially thought through the dashboard, but I have a few follow up questions.

Let’s say I want custom buttons in wordpress using This plugin. The installation tab, like for most plugins, says “upload plugin-name.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.” But I don’t have to worry about that because hitting the install and activate buttons under add new widget does those things for me, as I understand it. And it seems to me that that plugin is supposed to make doing the things taught on this page easier to do, as I would not necessarily have to know quite as much code going through the plugin as I would have to using TinyMCE directly.

This more or less applies to all plugins, right? Am I on the right track or am I completely off base? I can see that part of my problem is not knowing the right questions to ask since I don’t have quite the foundation I need to “know what it is I don’t know.”
