Hmm. Well I’ve never actively told WP not to display the www so it has done this by default.
If I alter this in the general settings now, will it break anything or can I go ahead?
Cheers!

Thanks but I’ve checked out that plugin and it doesn’t do what I need. The plugin gives me a widget and a signup tab, whereas I am wanting to put the signup form into a templated homepage (i.e. not a standard page + sidebar).

The theme I am currently using is Kraken – like many themes it has a home page template. I can insert the php for the ‘tab’ signup option but want to know how to embed the signup form into the page.

Check out the homepage in the demo:
https://demo.authenticthemes.com/kraken/

Where there are three ‘service’ areas beneath the slider, I’d like to make one of these into a space for the form.

I get that this sounds really theme-specific, and I’ve asked the theme creator too, but it’s not just an issue for this theme, I really would like to know how to do this on any WP theme.

Thanks!

Beth

Thanks Flashbuddy – I know it’s old and outdated but just really liked it and was just trying it out for one of my many little blogs.

Nav update: my menu randomly appeared overnight! No explanation there. Sometimes WordPress works in mysterious ways ??

Thanks Shinjing.

As I said, I have done it before (I learned how from the information you link to above and have successfully managed this a few times now), it just doesn’t seem to be working for Discover specifically. I was just trying to find out if anyone knew a reason why it might work slightly differently for Discover.

Will keep plugging away ??

Thanks for your help anyway!

Beth

Thanks Shinjing, I’ll try that.
Any idea how to do it manually? It’s bugging me that that I can’t seem to manage it with this theme, and I’d like to work out why and how.
I should add I’m pretty new to child themes – have only done four or five so far.
Cheers!

Just changed the capital M to a small one in the child theme text and it’s done the trick!
Thank you so much.
I’m sure I’ll be posting again in a few minutes…hopefully not though!

Thanks again for the support – this forum is so brilliant for learners like me ??

Thanks WPyogi! Perhaps it’s the capital ‘M’ causing the problem – here’s what I have:

Hi Robin (and anyone else reading!)

I’ve found another thread relating to this problem, which can be found here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wpexplorer-adapt-theme-404-errors-for-portfolio-display?replies=27

Basically, the magical solution is to resave your permalinks – go to settings –> permalinks and resave the settings without making changes. It works!?!

I’m happy ??

Hi Robin,
Thanks for this! The permalink is exactly the same as the post link – hence my confusion.
I’m having the same trouble with another website – this time it’s the portfolio items that won’t show: https://pedalkraft.co.uk/portfolio/ – again they were sending to a 404 page, which I’ve changed.

Aww, thanks! That’s kind. Was an embarrassing thing as it’s a web design website!!
Appreciate your help anyway, have a great day!

I’ve resized the image and saved it as a lower-quality/smaller-sized JPG and this seems to have done the trick. If you’re still there, does it load up okay for you now?
Thanks again ??
Beth

On no!! How embarrassing.
I added the image in the usual way – through the ‘add media’ thing, and the image is there in my media library – does anyone have any idea what’s going on??
Could it be that it’s just too big?
I’ll try recreating the image a bit smaller….
Thanks for trying!

I should add, other images on my site work fine. And this is the largest image.

Thanks – it seems to be working now ??

Looking around the forum it looks like a bunch of people are having the same problem, so I don’t think it’s my account settings or anything…?
