Hello people,

I solved the problem. Realized that “mobile theme” needed to be turned off in Jetpack settings, as 2014 is already a mobile theme.

I had seen reference to this in other threads, but the other references located that setting in Appearances. Maybe that was in an older version of WordPress? In any case, it’s not under Appearances for me. It’s in the Jetpack settings.

I had to turn off MOBILE THEME in my Jetpack settings, as 2014 is already a mobile optimized theme.

If anyone else has this problem, perhaps it will help you too ??

Hi Chris. Man, I just logged in to ask another question and now I’m seeing your response to an old one. You may remember that we connected through your Plugin website email and you helped me very much. Thank you! I love the plugin!

UPDATE: Please disregard this request!

I discovered that the STRoNG TESTIMONIALS plug-in I added was interfering. Bummer. But when I deactivate it, the twenty-fourteen styles come back!

Aw man,

That’s not entirely true. I was using Chrome and only a few of the image links were broken. Just checked in Safari and there are a bunch more missing! Ugggg :((((( It’s nearly 1 a.m. and I have to stop for the night. Any help would be much appreciated. I guess I have to go back and reload all of these???

Hi,

I am not using those WebP options. After writing this, I went back and re-inserted all those missing photos (about a dozen) into their respective places and now they are showing again.

The Jetpack Photon extension came with our package and I guess we’ve been using it all along. Our site was still just loading as slow as molasses so we thought we’d try your plug-in. Do you think there’s an incompatibility?

Thanks.

Oh sheesh! I thought I checked for that! Thank you so much!

Now to fix those other pages with columns…

@ chris…progress! I used the plugin to rebuild the home page, and it looks great on my phone, but on my laptop, the third column is out of alignment with the first two. I did use the special code for the last column as in:

[one_third_last]Column 3[/one_third_last]

I also tried removing all the padding, and removing the ‘last’ part of the tag, but the result was the same.

It’s close! And of course it actually didn’t take very long to rebuild…do you have suggestions for fixing the last column? Thanks again for this!

Thanks Stephen and Chris…

@stephen I wonder if there is something about my theme code, which places the video slider at the top of the page, that is throwing off the table on smaller screens. That’s the only thing I can figure out. Of course, the video is essential to my site, since it’s about a film!

@chris, I will try this plug-in. Unfortunately I have tables on many pages ??

Ha! Thank you so much, stephencottontail! Navigation menu toggles are done and the menu looks great on big and little screens now!

Yes, that table, grrr. I used html code as follows:

<table style="width: 100%; border-spacing: 10px;">
<tbody><tr><td></td></tr>

Headers, images, and text are inside those tags, 3x for three rows.

Another oddity with the table is that the spacing was never even in the text columns, no matter what I did. I tried downloading a couple of table plug-ins, but they didn’t like images. I eventually tried this solution, which works, although strangely, the code periodically disappears from the text editing page. I guess WordPress doesn’t like it. But at least for my regular screens, it does the trick. This is what I used to address that:

<col span="3" "width: 33.33%;">
</span>

But like I said, WP periodically kicks it off the page. It’s missing right now, though the columns stayed okay. I’m grateful for whatever suggestions you have…this is very encouraging.

Hi Chris,

Thanks so much for identifying that my responsive menu button is an h1 tag!

1. I hid the h1 tags this way after trying many, many other options for hiding them, because they just look silly given the layout of my site (which my client is attached to). The h1 tags look especially weird on the home page; they put a whomping big “home” title right between the slider and the 3-column table format below it, very distracting.

2. Isn’t there some way to just make the responsive menu button, say, an h2 tag, so all that existing design will just pop back into place? I tried to figure it out, but I couldn’t locate the css that defines the responsive menu button.

3. The link and general info you shared about media queries is very nice, but I don’t know enough css to add to those queries to straighten out table and images below the video slider and make the navigation bar reappear.

That’s why I’m wondering if I can just change the tag associated with the responsive menu button; I think everything would be taken care of if I could just reactivate that code. Any suggetsions? Thank you again! It is so frustrating and time consuming figuring out these tweaks without much css knowledge!

ps. I looked at plug-ins and it seems like, though there are many, they are somewhat theme specific, and also fairly buggy, which is another reason I’m somewhat fixated on figuring out how to reactivate the Sundance theme built-in responsive layout. I could try some of those as a last resort if there’s no other way though ??
