    I figured it out. It’s under the Advanced Settings. It’s fine if you have a large screen but when on a laptop (e.g. 15″) there’s just no room for four extra columns (i.e. noindex, nofollow, meta description, and score).

    Just happened to stumble upon something. It has to do with zooming. I noticed this on another website of mine that uses a different theme. It seems when you are zoomed in too much then it resorts to that mobile theme (i.e. three horizontal lines stacked vertically). If I zoom out it resorts back to normal. I done this on this site in Firefox and it fixed it. I was unaware it was zoomed in at all. I was under the assumption Firefox cleared everything on exist. I’m guessing it doesn’t reset/clear any zoom settings.

    I learned something new. In all the years I’ve been using WordPress I had never seen themes do that before.

    Since this post, I uninstalled the theme and activated the default twenty nineteen theme. About fifteen minutes or so ago, I installed the Customizr theme by going to Appearances > Add New. Activated the theme. When I viewed my website, it looked normal. That is, the menu was horizontal, there were no longer the three lines where a horizontal menu is supposed to be, and the search icon was no longer in the top.

    For testing, I’ve been using the Opera browser. Now, I went to test it in other browsers. In Chrome, it loads fine as well. Same thing. Horizontal menu instead of the three bars, no search icon, and the social media icons in the top bar, just as it is in Opera. However, when I load my website in Firefox, it’s loading the way it was doing in Opera yesterday when I posted. Three bars (stacked vertically) instead of a horizontal menu. Search icon displayed even though settings have it set to not display. And social media icons not in top bar.

    Previously, I thought it a possible cache issue. I don’t use any cache plugins, however, I do use Cloudflare to help with security. I even tried completely purging my Cloudflare cache to validate or invalidate that idea. In regards to troubleshooting I have:

    1. I’m already using the latest version of the theme and all of my plugins on my site are up-to-date.
    2. Documentation seems irrelevant here as all of my settings are correct.
    3. I’m not using any cache plugin. Only cache system I’m using is Cloudflare. I’ve already purged my Cloudflare cache via “Purge Everything” as well as cleared my cache in my Firefox browser.
    4. See #3.
    5. I don’t have a child theme.
    6. I’ve deactivated every single plugin on my website to where there wasn’t a single plugin active. I then purged Cloudflare cache again. Then cleared browser’s cache. Still have the issue in Firefox.

    To rule out any potential Firefox addons, I started Firefox in Safe Mode, which has all the addons disabled.

    It’s not showing an h1 on the frontpage. I have my frontpage set to a static page. My issue is on other pages I’ve created. I have an About, Contact, and FAQs pages. Those are the pages I’m trying to remove the default h1 title from.

    That would make more sense. I mean honestly… What’s the point of downloading a plugin if I can’t use it? To me it makes sense that you only need to download a plugin if I’m going to use their service. After all, why would I download and install a plugin that I don’t plan to use? That makes no sense.

    I have looked over and used (i.e. tried out) a number of WordPress plugins. I’ve used commercial WordPress plugins. I don’t have any issues with a commercial WordPress plugin. I have an issue with a plugin that’s freely available to download but not use. There’s no point in me downloading and installing a plugin that I can’t use.

    What I like are freemium plugins. It gives me the chance to test a plugin out and see not only how I like it but how I like the company. It’s exceedingly rare I fork out cash for a commercial plugin that I don’t have any option of at least trying out to see if I like it.

    That’s even better. Thanks. I enabled Banned Users and tried to sync. Failed (of course). I then searched through the .htaccess file for the line you specified. I commented it out. I then tried to sync with Disqus and it worked perfectly fine. I’d rather remove one part of a feature than the entire feature. I will be contacting Disqus about this. Even though I’m on the free account, which doesn’t come with support, I consider this reporting of a bug. To me, a service, especially one like Disqus, should properly format their communications. In this case, put a User Agent.

    I used your suggestions to troubleshoot the problem. First, I disabled the System Tweaks. Still syncing would fail. Then I disabled Banned Users and that seemed to have worked. However, I thought it odd as there really isn’t much in that setting. So, I enabled the System Tweaks and it still synced. That told me it was within Banned Users feature.

    Considering Banned Users only has blacklist and whitelist, I knew it wasn’t any of those. Only thing left was the Default Blacklist. I unchecked that box and it synced. So I have all of the System Tweaks and all of the WordPress Tweaks enabled with no issues. I’m guessing whatever IP (or IPs) that are used as part of Disqus’ system is on the HackRepair.com blacklist.

    Much thanks for your help. I’m glad I can keep everything else enabled. To me the HackRepair.com blacklist is nice but not ultimately necessary.

    Your issue is the apostrophies (i.e. single quotes). You should use double quotes. Your shortcode should look as such:

    [rdp-wiki-embed url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congress"]

    I do that and I use the wiki_links argument with overwrite. Doing that will not only embed that Wikipedia article on your page/post but if a user clicks on any link within the Wikipedia article, it’ll load that Wikipedia article on your site.

    [rdp-wiki-embed url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congress" wiki_links="overwrite"]

    If not then any links they click on in the embedded Wikipedia article will open in a new window.

    Thanks for the response. I’ll definitely try this out. I wasn’t aware of a MailChimp block. Not long after I posted I had went with the embed HTML method. That is, copied the form HTML embed code from MailChimp and paste it into the page editor on WordPress.

    @jguillot, thanks for your response. That worked perfectly I put that shortcode on a page and modified the terms value to be the category I wanted posts from and it loaded all of the posts in that category with no issues.

    I understood the shortcode with the term taxonomy. However, I only understood it from very briefly using Drupal. Drupal loves taxonomies. Looking over the readme.txt, I see the examples of the shortcode listed there.

    In a somewhat unrelated question.. What is the best way to increase the width of the list of posts? For each post title in the A-Z listing, it can only accomodate about two or three words before it goes to a next line. I see tt would be nice to have the title (i.e. longer than two or three words).

    Figured the issue. Just noticed that after creating the field and brought back to the list of fields created you have to click the “Save Changes” button. I found this a rather odd setup. Normally one would save changes (or any settings) under the actual config options of what they’re changing/creating.

    I’ve tried it in Firefox, Opera, and Chrome. Same issue in all three browsers. Of the three browsers, it has the most extra padding in Chrome. About 100px-200px extra on each side.

    I decided to enabled debugging on my WP site to see if I could get some more information. After enabling debugging, I wasn’t getting the error. So, I logged in to my phpBB site and purged the cache and purged all sessions. That did the trick.

    I got the following error:

    Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php on line 195

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php:195) in /home/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 948

    The last error says on line 948. That error repeats multiple times throughout the page. Each time it’s a line more (e.g. 949, 950, 951, etc). The last error is on line 972. It stops at 969 then starts again on 972.

    The final two error messages are:

    Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php on line 197

    I have not experienced this at all before. I’ve been running this website for a few years with the default WP ID of 1 for years with no issues. The only time this happens is when this plugin is enabled. If I disabled the plugin my site works fine.

    While the username of the WP admin user and the phpBB user are different, I do have the same email address for the main admin account on both my WP site and the admin phpBB account.

    For some odd reason my WordPress installation is messing up. The URL you have with the key is what I expected my URL to be similar to. Unfortunately, the URL in mine just has the regular login URL, sans the activation key parts.
