In reply to: [Autoptimize] (Not So Much of a) Nightmare (Now!)@jan – no, I only installed on a whim to see what the rave reviews were all about. Its not essential that I use the plugin.
@futta – after installation:
1) Checked all initial settings, website disappeared.
2) Checked just HTML setting, website disappeared.
3) Checked just CSS setting, website disappeared.
4) Checked just JS setting, website disappeared.Methinks it’s a David Blaine plugin!

In reply to: [Duda Mobile Website Builder] Mobile Redirect Not Working – Yet?Quick update 2:
Found that there are conflicting instructions within the Dudamobile website itself.
Have turned off the redirect and it looks like I’ll be going for a full refund.
So now everyone is happy that we have our mobile version back!

In reply to: [Duda Mobile Website Builder] Mobile Redirect Not Working – Yet?Right, a quick update:
My website is prefixed with www.
If I try going to the website on my mobile using the full url (including www), I get the default responsive version of the site rather than the Dudamobile one.
So the question now is:
How do you redirect a website that contains www?

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Source Code QuestionRight, with the help of Thomas at CyberChimps, I think the issue has been solved.
I deactivated a plugin called ‘Contact Form 7 Customiser’ and the offending line of code has now gone.
Apologies for taking it out on the plugin author, but if something is masquerading under the umbrella of CF7 and dropping hidden links into the source code, I’d respectfully suggest that a warning notice be placed on the offending plugin, so that future instances can be resolved speedily.
(You can now mark as ‘resolved’)

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Source Code QuestionDunno who marked this post as resolved, but it most certainly is not.
Being washed over, more like.
So where is the code coming from?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Source Code QuestionI already have asked, and it’s definitely a Contact Form 7 snippet as can be seen from the code.
Also – to prove a point, I just deactivated Contact Form 7 and checked the source code again – and the offending code has now disappeared.
Ergo – it is Contact Form 7’s output.
Ergo, I’m now using another contact form as I dont want to be associated with a possible ‘hidden links’ scam.

In reply to: [WordPress Landing Pages] NightmareSorry, but I’m not going to be giving out our login and ftp details to anyone, not even God!
For info, we’re using MyFolio from Themeforest, which has a fop nav bar, which disappears when Landing Pages is activated.

In reply to: [WordPress Landing Pages] NightmareWhen I activate ‘Landing Pages’, all the site nav disappears.
When I de-activate ‘Landing Pages’, the site nav comes back.
I cannot afford to be messing about with a plug-in that renders the site useless.
I asked how you toggle the nav on/off, which according to your first reply, is an option:
“On landing pages (default template) the navigation is automatically removed. You can toggle this option off though.”
So is there not an option to toggle the option after all?
If I tried toggling the nav, we could then dismiss that as one of the problems.

In reply to: [WordPress Landing Pages] NightmareThe whole site navigation disappears.
On every page.
Thats why I was getting calls to say that the site navigation had disappeared.
I was not concerned with the nav not being on the landing page, as I had placed a link to enter the main site.
But on entering the site, there was no navigation.
So – in your first reply, you said that the nav could be toggled on/off – how do you do that?

In reply to: [WordPress Landing Pages] NightmareThe Call to Action button is a workaround I suppose, if a form is needed to activate it, but I wasnt planning to place a form on the homepage, just a button to enter the site – to which end, a link will do just as well.
You mentioned that the site navigation could be toggled back on?
Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [WordPress Landing Pages] NightmareThe twitchy content editor was in the admin dashboard,
There was no Call to Action (or SUBMIT) button – just an option to edit the colours.
I did not notice a toggle for keeping navigation restored.
Also – it became rather like a lottery as to whether the youtube background worked, or a plain grey background would take it’s place.
I tried this plugin a few days ago, newest version of WordPress, newest (I presume) version of WowSlider, and after following the instructions to the letter, after inserting the shortcode, there was nothing – nil – nowt.
The WowSlider rep sent me a link to the tutorial video that I’d already watched many times.
So I decided to reject this awful software/customer service in favour of a KenBurns from Code Canyon.
I just found a really simple way to do this –
Go to the ‘Manage Gallery’ section, where you see the two boxes for entering alt/title, and description.
In the alt/title box, enter your alt tag for the purposes of SEO as per normal.
In the ‘description’ box, add a short line of html which links to your required page thus –
<a href="URL-of-your-required-page-link">Your page</a>
On clicking an image, the lightbox will operate as normal, but there will be a link to your page under the picture.
Hope this helps!

In reply to: A (Different) Kind of 301 Redirect Problem?Hang on – sorted it.
Its just been pointed out to me that WordPress has its own .htaccess file, so I just added the same redirect code (mysite.com/blog) into there.
