In reply to: [Twenty Sixteen] Reducing white spaceI was having the same problem of applying the fixes mentioned but with no joy. I think the reason is that you must apply the fixes in each of the media sizes. For example,
.site-main{margin-bottom:0}
gets trumped by
@media screen and (min-width: 61.5625em){margin-bottom:7em}so you have to change it there too.

In reply to: [BackUpWordPress] Backup WordPress sort of stopped workingNo problem with doing that but I don’t have such a button. I wasn’t on the latest release so I updated but there’s still no tab to the right of + add schedule.
There’s a big “Support” link in blue after the page header but when I click this I just get a sidebar that says: “Hi there,
Glad to hear it.
Let me know if I can help you with anything else,
Cheers!
Owain”, apparently in answer to a 9 week old question about wordpressbackup/cron.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [BackUpWordPress] Backup WordPress sort of stopped workingBackups worked as expected on 25/26/27/28/29th November but there is a temporary file (.zip.x2ceTC) with the same timestamp as that for the 29th Nov .zip file.
No backups have been made since.
Could it be that failure to delete this temporary file prevents further backups from being made?

In reply to: [BackUpWordPress] Backup WordPress sort of stopped workingOK – thanks,
The previous schedule was only once per week. I’ve shifted the time and set it to each day to see what happens.

In reply to: [BackUpWordPress] Backup WordPress sort of stopped workingThanks for your reply.
Backup always seems to work when triggered manually so I can’t actually do the second and third steps.
Do the odd extra file extensions give a clue to how far the process got?
The hosting company are adamant that I am running on a Linux server and I am sure they are correct. Running phpinfo() confirms it:
======================
Linux linweb24.linvh1.fasthosts.co.uk 2.6.18-406.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Tue Jun 2 22:21:26 EDT 2015 x86_64
======================The detail of the error message includes;
Requested URL https://127.0.0.1:80/
Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwrootThese just don’t look right, even if the (shared) server was running IIS. The path would probably be much longer. It looks more like a path on my PC – not the host.
I tried disabling all the firewall and extra firewall rules but it made no difference.
However disabling “Block Spambots From Posting Comments” cleared the problem. Does this help you see what might be going wrong?
I’ve had this from the hosting company:
===================
…Thank you for your query,
The 2nd line engineers has confirmed as you are on a Linux server, the server
will not or cannot provide a IIS messages.
Please investigate the wordpress site or settings.
===================How should I proceed?
I notice that the error message includes a local URL. Is this local to the server or is the plugin trying to write to the client?
Hmm,
Its supposed to be running on Linux! (and that’s what my control panel says) I’ve asked the host support for an explanation.

In reply to: [Expound] Drop down menu not working on iPadUm, sorry to be thick but where is the ‘custom’ field in the menu settings?
I have a menu with drop downs and it works fine with a computer and mouse but on an ipad you can click to get a drop down but it doesn’t last long enough to click any of the links.
Yours works fine
Well, it’s sorted for me now but I’m still a bit puzzled about why it didn’t work previosly.
I went to the codex page (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/add_editor_style) and used the simplest possible arrangement with these extra lines in my child theme’s function file:
function cm_styles(){
add_editor_style();
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘cm_styles’);Put my styles in editor_style.css in my child theme and it all worked. Previously I had been using a named css file and it didn’t work.
Same for me.
Everyone is talking about the styles drop down but I guess this is now called the Format list in the latest version of WordPress. (Or is there some way to make ‘styles’ reappear?)
