That worked, I swear I tried that before! Lol. Thank you so much.

Ok yes, from the dashboard I go to Appearance -> Edit CSS. It brings me to the Additional CSS section in the customizing menu. Good to know that is a good place to add things. Argent is the theme that I have created the child theme from. Looking over all this I am realizing that I don’t have the time to be so in depth with this currently, (as you can see it’s already taken me forever yo get back to you!) I had tinkered with some different search engine plugins, but hadn’t quite found what I was looking for, but I may look into that route a bit more. I will definitely refer back to this thread in the future, and thanks so much again for all your info!

Hey, thanks a lot! I have edited some things through the (Argent) child theme like footer.php, but not specifically functions.php yet. I have been going through Blue Host’s file manager to edit the child theme on my site. Is it possible to get locked out of my site by using this alone? I downloaded Firezilla a few weeks ago but haven’t tinkered with it much yet.

I have also been adding things to the “Edit CSS” area on my dashboard.. Should I not be entering things here? I have been keeping a word document describing everything I have added/what it does in regards to adding things here.

Would I just paste this at the end in my child theme’s functions.php file?

add_action('init', 'sk_add_tag_support');
function sk_add_tag_support() {
   register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'attachment');
}

[Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.]

I am certainly in over my head a bit here, lol. It’s hard to know what things will be an easy fix, and which will be much more in depth. My knowledge of code is basically just copying and pasting things places.

That said, if you think this will be too over my head I don’t want to waste more of your time:

“Including attachment tags in search queries is more involved. You use the “pre_get_posts” action to set the ‘tax_query‘ query var to an array that queries the post_tag taxonomy for tags matching the search terms. There are several ways to do this. Multiple terms could be logically ANDed or ORed. Other options are possible, but it involves altering the SQL query directly. If your needs are simple, the various dedicated tag arguments could work instead of tax_query”

Thanks again for all your help! I really appreciate it.

Hi bcworkz, thanks so much for your response, and sorry for the delay on my end.

” Adding tag support to attachments is simple, add this into a callback to the ‘init’ action:
register_taxonomy_for_object_type( ‘post_tag’, ‘attachment’ ); ”

Could you be a bit more detailed on how to find/ do this? I am new to all of this, and have only done minimal site editing. Thanks again!

You’re the best. Thanks!

Sorry for all the questions, guys. Any thoughts on this one? How do I go about editing the links at the bottom of my projects?

Thanks, Chad. I will give those a try.

Thank you so much, David!

Actually no, it wasn’t the screen options panel, but thank you I hadn’t noticed that section. It was under the “Quick Edit” section for the individual post. I also unchecked “allow comments” under the quick edit section for the blog.

Same thing happens when I switch back to the parent theme. When I tried to check on a different browser my entire dashboard was empty except for jetpack.. and the media files tab wasn’t even there.

Dragging and dropping the images into the box still works, so that is what I have been doing. It’s just a bit inconvenient.

Nevermind I figured it out

That was very helpful, thank you so much! I am having another issue now.. Since activating the child theme and making these changes, I am not able to upload any new images. I click “select files” but the box never pops up allowing me to select any files…
