You might be on to something. I’ve pointed https://www.tanktronic.com to Advanced DNS settings, apparently, while every other domain I own is pointed to the UNIX hosting package offered by Network Solutions.

You correctly estimated that I am not prepared for that ??

Perhaps you can shed some light on something that may admittedly be a hosting issue and not a WordPress one. I have set up a second WP install in a separate folder.

On my Network Solutions hosting, I have :
– https://www.tanktronic.com pointing to /htdocs/wordpress
– https://www.enlightenedjabroni.com pointing to /htdocs/wordpress3

Not only does going to the new site not take me to the new blog held in WordPress3 folder, it actually automatically changes to pointing to /Wordpress again after a couple hours. Is there something in the root I need to change?

Reading that quickly, is the answer that I will indeed need to install a second WordPress folder and manage the two entirely separately? i.e. have to install all the plugins over again?

Thanks for answering, sir… one more follow-up… I’ve been reading a bit about SEO, and one idea is that on any page that is not your home/archive page, the site title can be relegated to <span> status, leaving the post title as <h1> and being more prominent in SEO.

I don’t know if it’s necessary or not, but is there a decently easy way to throw that condition in?

Daniel… let me guess – you’re using MailChimp for your mailing list signup? ??

After disabling the plugins one by one and trying to save, I realized that was the culprit. So if I want to Customize, I disable the MailChimp plugin, go make changes, save & publish, then reactivate MailChimp.

Maybe you have a different plugin interfering, if so just disable them one by one until the changes save properly…

Dude, constant disappointment around here when it comes to questions getting answered. For the default theme, you would think there would be plenty of people able/wiling to help.

Anyway, good news is I had to figure most of it out on my own. If you have the default 1280px width set, your screen will essentially look like this :

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT :
50px of black margin
162px of actual primary sidebar content
10px of black margin
672px of “content width”, of which :
~100px margin on left of text
~474px of text block
~100px margin on right of text
60px of margin before content sidebar
305px content sidebar

That is, within a few pixels, how it breaks down.

I spent a week playing with this – let me know what you want to do and maybe I can save you the hassle ??

I’m having a similar problem – everything works great, but when I’m done making changes and click “Save & Publish”, the changes don’t stick – when I go to the site nothing has changed.
