Thank you both for your replies! Closing this out.

In your child theme, you will want copy archive.php from the parent theme and make your customizations to order by asc.

Then you will need to rename that to have the same slug or ID for your trip diary category in your child theme – so for example, if the category slug is “trip_diary”, you would name the file trip_diary.php in your child theme.

This explains more about creating custom category archive templates:

Thank you! Just saw the notification when I logged into my WP dashboard today. ??

@reniherme, I have mashsharer developer license, and the not showing the sharecounts anymore is def. an issue. As for ideas, maybe you could possibly integrate with something like Sharecount.com? It is free for 10,000 queries daily, which for most users should be enough, but if not they could always upgrade. Maybe take a look at this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/shared-counts/

Just a thought. ??

I had this problem also, it happened when I tried to activate from the same screen when you install from your dashboard.

The fix for me was to install the plugin, and after I got the message, I went to the plugins page and clicked Activate

Working for me fine now, but I hope this does get fixed!

I looked into the files as you suggested and figured out the issue – was an error on my part ??

Thanks for the quick reply!

Using Google’s inspector, it looks like you are missing some files in the folder for your js, so that might be part of the issue, but not 100% sure. If it was caused by a js conflict error in your theme, it would likely have be resolved when you activated one of the WordPress default themes.

I noticed you are running WP Super Cache – I have not used that plugin, but sometimes with other caching plugins I’ve used, you need to manually refresh/rebuild the cache or even disable the caching plugin, rewrite the .htaccess file and update your permalinks – especially if there’s ever a recent update. You may also want to temporarily enable logging/debugging mode to see if anything unusual is showing.

Hope you find an answer soon!

Try this in a custom css editor plugin or in your child theme’s stylesheet:

h4, h4 a, .entry-content h4 {
font-size: 22px !important;
}

.post-content p {
font-size: 16px !important;
}

You may want to go through the css stylesheet and look to see if you can do away with some of the !important declarations and maybe consult with the theme author to figure out why this is happening.

Generally I’ve found when issues arise in the post editor it comes from javascript/css from themes and/or plugin conflicts that override the default WP admin.

If you use Inspect Element in Chrome – on the top of the window it says “Console” – this will identify if there are any js conflicts.

The other thing to do to identify the problem is just through trial and error – deactivate all plugins, switch to default WP theme, and then experiment until you find the combination until you identify the cause. At that point, once you know the cause, you can ask for support on that particular theme or plugin that is causing the issue.

This might have some useful information to help you – there are a few code examples to work with:

This plugin hasn’t been updated for a few months and i have never personally used it, so not sure if it would work – but this might get you pointed in the right direction also, either by trying it on your site or by downloading and reviewing the code:

I posted a response to your other post here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/simple-subfolder-wierdness?replies=3#post-7922392

What webhost are you using? What type of control panel do they use?

Before you upload the files or point the domain nameservers to your host, with most shared hosts you would need to create the add-on domains in cPanel first – if your host does not use cPanel, they may have a section called “Domain Manager” or “Domain Central” or something similar along those lines in your dashboard. If that is the case, then you just add the new domains there, and generally at that point you define a folder for that particular domain and this is the folder where you would upload your WordPress files.

After you have added all of the domains to the domain manager (or add-on domains in cPanel), then you need to go to your domain name registrar and set the nameservers your webhost provided – these should be all the same for each domain -( ie: ns1.mywebhost.com and ns2.mywebhost.com).

After that, you can upload all of your WP files to the directory folder you specified when you added the domain. Once the DNS propagates (which can take 24-48 hours) – the site will be live and you will be able to access the WordPress install through the domain name. If you are anxious to get started before the DNS updates, you can follow directions for editing a file on your computer called the hosts file – if you search in Google “How to modify your hosts file” you will find various tutorials based on your computer type and operating system.

Also – it is important to use different databases for each install of WordPress OR very carefully give each website its own database table prefix – otherwise no matter what you do, they are all going to use the exact same posts and information stored in the database. If you’ve confirmed everything is setup correctly with the webhost and adding multiple domains and the nameservers are correct, that could possibly be the issue you are experiencing. You can read more about this here:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_Multiple_Blogs

(Skip the part about Multi-site at the top – generally not for the new WP user or faint of heart – scroll to where it says “Multiple Blogs Through Multiple Installs”) – Personally I like each website to have its own separate database, but its a matter of choice and type of sites you are building)

Hope that helps!

Sometimes, depending on the theme and any other plugins you might be running, you will have to add the !important declaration to override the default styles, or dig a little deeper to see if there might be a different code – especially in the case of nav menus, links, headings, and/or lists.

One way to get the exact code you need to paste into the custom editor is to highlight the text you want to change and then use Google Chrome “Inspect Element” feature – it will often give you the css selectors you need to modify.

I did a presentation on Intro to CSS for our local WP Meetup Group that walks you through the basics of that – while it does not use this plugin (it uses Jetpack) – the slideshare is available here:

https://www.slideshare.net/wppittsburgh

I noticed you already have Jetpack on your site – so the Simple Custom CSS plugin would not be necessary – (just activate the custom css module in Jetpack’s settings). I don’t use Jetpack very often, which is why I prefer this plugin – but both can accomplish the same thing.

Hope that helps a bit or might be useful to someone in the future!

Thanks for the fast response Brian! Everything is working great now! ?? Appreciate the help and love the plugin!

Will do!
