    Found a solution, thanks! My parent theme has a function generating them.

    Figured it out, needed to set the TABLE width: auto;

    Figured it out, nevermind!

    I got it. Apparently it has to do with the order things are done. I did this instead and it worked. And I narrowed the width of the #widgets style so it wouldn’t wrap down to under the content.

    add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_remove_parent_theme_stuff');
    function my_remove_parent_theme_stuff() {
    	remove_action ('woocommerce_before_main_content', 'responsive_woocommerce_wrapper', 10);
    	add_action ('woocommerce_before_main_content', 'my_responsive_woocommerce_wrapper', 9);
    }
    
    function my_responsive_woocommerce_wrapper() {
    	echo '<div id="content-woocommerce" class="grid-right col-620 fit">';
    }

    If I add the above lines to the parent theme functions.php and activate the parent theme, it works great.

    But somehow when I add the lines in the child theme functions.php instead, it’s not unhooking the responsive_woocommerce_wrapper action. So it’s left with two actions, and I have two div tags created, one after another:

    <div id=”content-woocommerce” class=”grid-right col-620 fit test”>
    <div id=”content-woocommerce” class=”grid col-620″>

    What could cause this?

    I mentioned that plugin in my original post, but it’s meant for shipping one order to multiple addresses, which isn’t what i need, and I don’t want to allow that option either.

    As a follow up question, what is the purpose of a Woocommerce-specific theme vs any old WordPress theme like Twenty Fourteen or others? What does a Woocommerce theme include that a regular one doesn’t?

    I have a second problem with customizing the skinning here.

    If I specify a Nav Bar Background image, I have to set the Navigation Menu Items background as transparent, so that the font will display properly against the background image and not against a background color over each menu item.

    However, if I set the above to transparent, the dropdown menu items are also transparent. The theme default somehow gets around this, while the options do not appear to provide enough options to be able to specify the dropdown menu background color to be different from the nav bar menu item background. Am I missing something?

    I tried the Restrict Uploads plugin so users can’t upload videos, but they can still upload videos, it just changes the video to a whole bunch of jpg files and just makes it confusing. Users are just going to be asking me why it isn’t working. I don’t want the option to upload videos at all, just to embed. How can I do that?

    Thanks, I’ll check out Featured Video Plus. I wasn’t aware that core supports video embeds.

    Ok, I think I get it now. The Disqus server processes each comment and then sends the data back to my WP. The delay was throwing me off. And then Disqus only reads comments with Disqus as the comment_agent.

    Ok, I’m looking into Doubleclick now, thanks!

    The WPMU Ad Sharing plugin indeed does appear to be for multisite WP only. Elsewhere it is suggested that it is for single site installs too, but I believe that is incorrect, and the product page itself currently only lists multisite as a valid platform.

    Inserting the author’s Adsense publisher ID into the code may or may not work (I’m getting conflicting info on it), and at this point I would do so if it was going to be a solution. Unfortunately each author needs his own website in order to qualify for an Adsense account, so that isn’t going to be an option for most of my authors.

    Even if I provide a text box for them to insert some other ad code, most of the authors aren’t going to have other ad banners to insert, and I will want to mess around with the ad sizes and layouts anyway as I split test things. I could probably find some affiliate marketing sites where users can sign up, but I’m going to constantly have to do hand holding to get them to sign up with the networks and find new ad sizes to match the ad sizes I’m using on my site. Nightmare.

    Google has an API available for this purpose of revenue sharing with users on a site, where users can sign up for an account without a website of their own, but it has to be a large, established site with 100,000 daily impressions.

    If I can’t automate revenue sharing, I think what I need is some sort of way to track Adsense revenue per author on single post pages, so I can at least send out checks manually every 30 days. To track the revenue I would really need to pass custom variables to Adsense inside their code by inserting the WP author name, but Google doesn’t appear to offer any such thing. Maybe I could just track impressions in WP anyway, count the impressions per author every 30 days (is there a way to do that in Google Analytics?), and multiply that by a factor of the average revenue per impression in Adsense to determine their payment. But that treats every author as generating the same ad value for each post view, which isn’t fair. But still, I’ll do it if it’s the only option.

    To follow up, I think I would need to do a cron job to pull the RSS feeds and save the data, either in WordPress or in separate database tables dedicated to this purpose, because it would take too pull all the feeds and process them on the fly. I’m hesitant to use something that will auto-create WordPress posts or pages, because it could create quite a mess in the admin site.

    Is there already a plugin or something that will do this sort of thing?
