  • Sorry, I misread. Removing my comment I’d had.

    From what I see, the footer is only misaligned in the posts section (using Chrome). I believe the HTML tag attributes is specifically what is throwing the comments off there, and once that is resolved it will fall back into place.
    As for the width, have you tried setting it at 100% (or 98%) for the section in which the tag’s are contained? Currently, it’s setting itself at whatever width it wants regardless of the background, so you’ll need to have a maximum width.

    I downloaded a different document viewer which at least gives me the option to view the PDF’s in a new window, which gives access to printing. It works the same in all browsers, which I certainly need. So I guess the issue is resolved, as I no longer am using this plugin.

    I’ve tried it on different computers in the office, that hadn’t previously viewed the pages as well as clearing my cache for all browsers. The issue didn’t go away. Chrome is the only browser that shows the option to open in a new window or download. I just checked again. Even if it’s only one, I need the option available as those are the two ways for our clients to print out the document.

    I do have a child theme. I spent over an hour one day setting it up.

    As to which themes contain the same information, take your pic. Mog includes publish date, Responsive has date and author, Spun, Stitch, any of them on the first page when you select themes.

    I figured out the first part by playing around with it and teaching myself PHP so far. I deleted this section of code from the content-single.php file:
    <div class="gj-article-details"><dl class="gj-article-info"><dd><?php _e( 'Date: ', 'preference' ); ?><?php the_time(__('F j, Y', 'preference') ); ?></dd><dd><?php _e( 'Author: ', 'preference' ); ?><?php the_author(); ?></dd><?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'preference' ), '<dd class="edit-link">', '</dd>' ); ?></dl></div>

    For modified:

    <?php  the_modified_date( 'F j, Y', __( '<span class="modified-date">Last Modified: </span> ', 'preference') ); ?>
    	</footer><!-- .entry-footer -->

    For posted in:
    <?php $categories_list = get_the_category_list( _x( ', ', 'used between list items, there is a space after the comma', 'preference' ) );$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', _x( ', ', 'used between list items, there is a space after the comma', 'preference' ) );if ( $categories_list )printf( '<span>' . __( '<span class="cat-links">Posted in: </span> %1$s.', 'preference' ) . '</span><br />', $categories_list );if ( $tags_list )printf( '<span>' . __( '<span class="tag-links">Tagged: </span> %1$s.', 'preference' ) . '</span><br />', $tags_list );?>

    Whoops! Sorry, I thought I included a link. One of the pages is slroselaw.com/march-2013. I already have a child theme. And would removing those sections be CSS, or PHP?
    And it’s not related to the theme, it’s a part of the formatting/layout common among every theme I’ve seen. However, I’ve seen a lot of reference that the coding is slightly different in each theme, which is why I included the theme I used.

    So I ended up embedding the information with Google Doc Embedder. It works fantastic, and the only time someone can see the direct link is after downloading it (which requires a password to do). At that point, they already have a copy of the file and can’t do anything they wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. The file isn’t viewable without a password, and with the password is easy to view, download, ect.

    I hate not having topics resolved, especially when I search later and try to find a solution from other’s posts…
    I managed to create a child theme with the help of the company IT guy, GoDaddy customer support and trial and error. It was a pita, so I’ll certainly share!
    I created a child theme by copying all theme files (which is a pain, but doable) in the lowest folder possible. Some files would not copy by themselves, so needed to be copied through the copy folder and contents option on the FTP uploader in GoDaddy. However, it will only copy files one folder deep. Once the theme was created, it shows up with the same name as the parent theme regardless of what I named the child folder, which made it slightly confusing but was doable.

    As for my original issue, I managed to do basically what I needed with divs:
    ‘<div style=”border: 2px solid midnightblue; padding: 10px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 10px;”>
    <h2 style=”margin-bottom: 10px;”>heading</h2>
    <p style=”margin-bottom: 0;”>text</p>
    <hr />
    <h2 style=”margin-bottom: 10px;”>heading</h2>
    <p style=”margin-bottom: 0;”>text</p>
    <hr />
    <h2 style=”margin-bottom: 10px;”>heading</h2>
    <p style=”margin-bottom: 0;”>text</p>
    </div>’
    This made everything nice and neat and it shows up more or less exactly how I wanted. (The page is moved to the homepage for the entire site, also. My original link no longer leads to any page).

    None seem quite right (would have responded earlier, but between the holiday, weekend, and the site not allowing me to log in for a bit haven’t had a chance). Or is there a way to allow an override for people who have already paid, or are current clients (and therefore have already paid)? I don’t want to create a hassle for anyone, going through the route of a coupon code that allows free access. At that point it may just be easier for them to request a new copy.

    I found the files.
    I understand that people will have a copy on their computer. We send out copies whenever a new edition comes out. However, this is legal advice that people pay to receive, and it’s possible that someone could share the direct link to the page. We do not want people to be able to do that. I know it’s possible, another attorney does the same thing. I can’t ask him though, because he pays a developer and also doesn’t use wordpress. Even with the direct link to the file, you still need a password to access it.

    I still don’t see them. There are two folders, based on months and no PDF files.
    How can I protect the files then though, so that people cannot hard link to them?

    Okay, I have a slightly changed question. I simply uploaded the pdf version of the pages (as it is when we mail or e-mail it to the client). The page that links to all the PDF’s is password protected, and we’ll just send out a new password each time we publish a new edition to current clients.

    Is there a way to have the PDF’s password protected as well, so that if you type in the direct URL, you cannot access it without the password? But to have it so that once the password is entered for the primary page, users don’t have to enter it for each PDF file as long as the login has not timed out. I already have the attachments pages set to redirect to the home page, so that people cannot access the file that way.

    That worked. Must have just been my browser. Not sure why it did that, as I’d just downloaded a clean version of Opera to test how the website appeared. Thanks, such an easy “fix”!

    Here is how the page looks in Opera:

    It’s working great now on IE. However, Opera is still not taking the width of the page on a large screen size properly.

    I deactivated all the plugins not directly used for my site. If I had an HTML area, I could fix the errors it’s giving me, but don’t know enough without HTML to fix the errors.
