Your mailchimp form has a bottom margin of 20px – that’s what the grey bar is below it.

Try this CSS if you want to get rid of it completely:

form#mc-embedded-subscribe-form {
margin: 0;
}

Now I see. Glad you got it working.

So you want the image that is currently displayed (which is not the featured image) shown on the home page but when the user clicks to read the full post, you want the featured image at the top of the full post and the other image to not show at all.

Is that correct?

Try this CSS:

body.home div.entry-content p:first-child > a {
display: none;
}

tasko’s solution should work but if you want to use the font shorthand syntax try this:

.widget .widget-title {
    font: bold 20px "Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,sans-serif !important;
    margin: 0 0 10px !important;
}

The initial CSS resolves to font-style:italic and font-weight:300.

You replaced “italic” with “strong” and left the 300 parameter in place. This will resolve to font-style:strong and font-weight:300 and, since “strong” is not a valid font-style, you are getting an invalid property value error.

I never figured out specifically what was causing the problem. I ended up completely uninstalling, then re-installing EM 5.5.3. I gradually added all of my modifications but was never able to reproduce the problem. The success msg is showing up properly for me now.

I’ve tried both and neither generate the success msg.

On the clean WP 3.8.1 setup, I assigned guest submissions to admin, which has administrator WP privileges and can publish events per EM User Capabilities. Event gets added and published but no success msg.

On the clean WP 3.7.1 setup, I assigned guest submissions to scott, which has subscriber WP privileges and can not publish events per EM User Capabilities. Event gets added with a pending review status but no success msg.

Tried the same test using WP 3.7.1 with default Twenty Thirteen theme. Just in case, I cleared cache and did a hard refresh on the add event page.

Despite the URL showing success=1

https://localhost/trekexpressCLEANold/request-a-new-trip-empro/?action=edit#038;success=1

still no success msg and form was immediately re-displayed.

Again, events were successfully added and show up correctly in the backend.

OK – on localhost I created a new site, did a clean install of WP 3.8.1, using Twenty Fourteen theme with no modifications, installed Events Manager 5.5.2 (the only plugin installed), set Show form again? to NO, set Allow anonymous event submissions? to YES, and set the Guest Default User.

Logged out, submitted an event…

…did NOT get the success msg and form was redisplayed.

Events were successfully added and show up correctly in the backend.

Now I’m totally stumped. Is there some other setting required besides Show form again? to trigger the success msg?

Will try the same test with a pre 3.8.1 version of WP.

I have Show form again set to NO under Events > Settings > General > Event Submission Forms

hmmm – getting more strange.

I removed my customised event-editor.php form and tested it with the default event submission form.

Now I get no success msg on any of my setups (local host, hosted test site, live site) and the user submitted events are not showing up as needing attention in the WP admin menu (the little counter number).

Not sure if they were or were not showing up in the WP admin menu event counter before or not, though.

It looks as if $_REQUEST[‘success’] is not being set for some reason. Any thoughts?

Both sites are using a child theme based on Responsive (free version) by Cyberchimps.

The hosted server site (not properly showing success msg) was using Responsive v 1.9.5.1 and the local host site (properly showing success msg) was using v 1.9.3.9

I upgraded the local host site to the latest version of the them (1.9.5.1), cleared the cache and the success msg still displays properly.

Will do more debugging as soon as I can to try and determine if the success msg is not displaying at all or if it is being quickly overwritten by the submission form.

hmmm – still no joy. Went through all the plugins to make sure I had the same versions on the localhost and server sites.

Everything appears to be identical but I get the success message on my localhost site but not my hosted server site.

localhost is running Apache 2.2.22, MySQL 5.5.24 and PHP 5.3.13
hosted server is running Apache 2.2.26, MySQL 5.5.33 and PHP 5.2.17

Will keep digging.

ok – it’s not the WP version causing the problem.

I duplicated my local host site and upgraded it to WP 3.8.1 – anonymous event submission works fine AND the success message is displayed on submission.

So there must be some other difference I’ve missed. Will keep searching.

I’m having the same problem. I have modified some EM templates but it may be a WP version compatibility issue.

On my local web server I’m running the site on WP 3.7.1 and EM 5.5.2. Anonymous event submission works fine and the success message is displayed.

On another server, I’m running the same site (ie same plugin settings and EM template changes) on WP 3.8.1 and EM 5.5.2. Anonymous event submission works fine but the success message does NOT display or is quickly overwritten by the submission form.

No caching plugins are installed on either WP installation.

Let me know if there is anything specific I can check to help with debugging.
