RESOLVED: From the dashboard go to Edit Page > Screen Options and make sure ‘Discussion’ is checked (not just ‘Comments’). Then go to bottom of Page in Discussion box and check ‘Allow comments’.

It seems in prior versions of WP, these attributes were selected by default. It only became an issue after posting a new Page after the upgrade to 4.4.1.

Thank you. I’ve replaced it with your version and it loads much faster.
Happy New Year!

Understood, thought post were like emails, get buried under incoming posts. Thanks.

Found it, thanks.

Ahh, I went and saw for myself. For some reason it didn’t occur to me that when you look at View > Source it includes your CSS.
Thanks again.

Hi Ronangelo,

So by nesting the code between /*—- */, I’ve effectively turned it into a comment?

I will remove it and see what effect that has, and check the code against what you’ve provided. Thanks.

PS – how are you able to see my dashboard frontier options tabs (gulp)? As the theme developer do you have access?

Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks, I’ll check this out too.

By ‘text widget’ do you mean some php code?

I’ll check out AddThis.

thanks.

Alchymyth,
Thank you. It worked! I overlooked that one. ??

Hi Ronangelo,thanks for your reply.
Re:
‘a plugin interfering with the comments’, – I don’t use any plugins so far.
‘the comments are getting flagged as spam’ – I skim check all my spam in case any legit email gets put there.

What could it be?

I’ll put it down to user error, I was just curious because a second person said they lost a long comment after submitting it.

regards,

Matilda

You’re welcome and thanks for the footer code. ??

Hi Ronangelo,

Firstly, sorry, I should not be messing with the php files and don’t know how I missed the footer text box in the Display tab of the Frontier Options.

Another person on the forum asked the same question and I got attracted to the idea of automatic year update, when it’s no big deal to change year manually as above.

I changed the date accordingly, but still have the repeating year. Since I didn’t make copy of footer.php before modifying it, may I ask you to look over what I need to correct it to its former glory.

What I did was remove reference to Year (twice) after .’&copy’ and inserted: <?php echo date(‘Y’); ?>.

Here is the div id “bottom bar” section that I changed:

<?php if ( frontier_option('bottom_bar_text', get_bloginfo('name') . ' ? ' ) ) : ?>

<span id="bottom-bar-text"><?php echo frontier_option('bottom_bar_text', get_bloginfo('name') . ' ? ' ); ?><?php echo date('Y'); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>

Thank you, and secondly,

PS – talk about killing two birds with one stone, found the Donation button on this Frontier Options tab and have made a donation to you. As a result, please ignore the message I sent you via your website regarding same.

Hi Ron Angelo,
It worked! I pasted the snippet into the Frontier options > custom css.

I didnt realise you are the creater of the Frontier theme. I really like it.

Just recovered from a lock-out due to the WP upgrade to 3.8.2 and me (foolishly) running an out of date child theme. I never needed to make a child of your theme since all the changes I want are already built into your theme. Sheesh – talk about learnign the hard way.

The lockout and losing and recovering my links etc actually consolidated my know how.

Went to your blogsite and want to add you to my Google+ (your invite at the bottom of the page) but I havent set up my own account yet.

If you are interested in how your theme’s been used, check out my website https://www.matildafaltyn.com.
Have a minor technical difficulty with the horizontal menu bar also appearing as a vertical list between the header image and the horiz nav bar. Added IE8 & 9 emulation code, but it doesnt work for WP 3.8.2. Will this fix itself when I upgrade my browser and Windows (currently still on XP and IE 8).

Hi iamjoefriday,

I discovered my WP was upgraded automatically to 3.8.2. I was using a child of a theme that was out of date. Didnt notice the parent theme had a new version release.

WP 3.8.2 addresses a hack problem with forged authentication cookies that stop you from logging in. You must be running a version of your theme that is not up to date and is not compatible with 3.8.2. (the timing of this is too coincidental) I think that’s how the hack enters.

My host logged in for me using another password then deactivated my theme and activated the WP default theme (twenty eleven).
Was able to login after that. Have reverted to my parent theme and upgraded it then activated it. It’s okay now.
