In reply to: WordPress 3.6 Footer MenuTheme Horse advertises that Attitude Pro comes with “incredible support”. They will be able to tell you the best way to add a footer menu to their theme.

In reply to: icon colorsAs this is the Requests and Feedback forum, I suppose the appropriate answer is that you should not use the feature that WordPress provides to do what you want to do.
The feature that WordPress provides is that you can go to the admin screen Appearance – Editor and edit the style.css file in your Vantage theme. Find:
.widget_circleicon-widget .circle-icon-box .circle-icon [class^="icon-"]
After the next curly brace, add something like:
.widget_circleicon-widget .circle-icon-box .circle-icon .icon-leaf {color: green;}
(I write “something like” because I haven’t actually tried it. I don’t even have a copy of Vantage.)
Instead of using the theme editor that WordPress provides, it is better to create a child theme or use a plugin that lets you add CSS styling. See the Codex for more information.

In reply to: Viewing Post Details in Admin Dashboard?I imagine it is technically possible, but a lot of work to code. I do not know whether any published plugin can do it.

In reply to: Different Links/Videos based on Visitor's CountryI suppose YouTube uses a geoIP database or service to identify the country of the connection to YouTube. If you search the Internet you will find several geoIP databases and services.
They do not tell you where the visitor is from, only where the visitor is connecting to your website from. For example, a person from China might be in a hotel in the UK, connecting through an ISP in France to a proxy in Australia. Your website (and YouTube) will only know about the connection from Australia.
Perhaps a better way is to use JavaScript code to detect dynamically when YouTube blocks the video, but I do not know whether that is possible.

In reply to: How to add extra field to appearance menu itemYes, it is possible. You can write JavaScript code (using jQuery, if you wish) to modify any admin screen. You will also need some PHP code to make the new checkbox do whatever you need it to do.
For example, in one scenario I used the admin_head action to insert a script, and the wp_insert_post_data filter to process the extra data, but there are other actions and filters that you might use.

In reply to: one site, many users with individual private postsIt is possible for a plugin to do that, but you have not given much information. What do you mean by “automatically”? Are all the posts private, or are there also some normal public posts?
I do not know anything about BuddyPress.

In reply to: changle link colorIt looks like the colour is hard coded in the HTML, not in any stylesheet. Ask for support wherever you got the Wapp theme that you are using.
If that happened to me, I would suspect that a plugin or the theme had gone bad. I would access the site files using FTP or the file manager tool in my web hosting control panel, temporarily rename the plugins and themes (except for TwentyThirteen) so that WordPress cannot find them, and then try to log in.
I suppose this procedure is described more fully in the Codex somewhere…but just at the moment I can’t seem to find it.

In reply to: How To Make A Subdomain Invisible To PublicThere are published plugins that display a message and hide the site from anyone who is not logged in. You could also rename the subdomain so that any old links will stop working. It is also possible to protect the entire site with a server password (not a WordPress password), but that’s probably overkill for your situation.

In reply to: disable /wordpress mobileIt looks disabled to me. I get a 404 Not found error. It will gradually disappear from search results. Individual search engines might provide ways for you to speed up the process.

In reply to: How to Compare php to Live SiteFirefox cannot tell you where things are in your theme’s PHP code, because the server does not send that information to browsers. You can use Firefox Web Developer tools to look at the HTML, CSS and JavaScript code that your server sends. Then you can search for those elements in the PHP code on your server.
By the way, if you have messed with the files that make up your theme, you will lose your changes when the theme updates. It is better to work with a child theme instead. Unfortunately, WordPress is not designed in a way that makes this clear.

In reply to: Issues with search engine display and tab titles…It is not a search engine issue. “Prints Inc presents Jamie PaulPrints Inc.” is exactly what appears in your website’s TITLE tag. What Site Title is specified in your WordPress admin General Settings screen? Do your various plugins have their own settings that might change the title?

In reply to: Extracted Structured DataI don’t think it is an issue with WordPress. There is no Internet standard that requires every website to obey Google. If you want yours to, there might be a plugin or theme that you can use to insert the extra data.

In reply to: Remove default site name from site titleIt is not clear what you are trying to change. There is no META tag for the site title. What is it, exactly, that you see in Google but do not want to see?

In reply to: Why is there a "?" in URL of a linkThe question mark identifies what follows as a query string. It is a standard part of a URL. It might be possible to change the code of your website to do the same kind of thing without using a question mark, but it would probably be a lot of work.
