Also, I’m using a “responsive” theme and a “responsive” lightbox gallery – not sure how many sizes of each image are normal for this situation…

I know…I always think it’s silly to try to prevent people from saving photos – PrintScreen button and Windows 7’s Snipping Tool make it impossible. The client thought maybe their contributors would be more “comfortable” if their images were protected, but I honestly don’t think they care…they share them all over the internet anyway!

I discovered the issue – I had installed the Content Copy Protection and Image Save plugin, and when I disabled that, the Paypal button started working properly again.

Holy schnikies, you are a GENIUS! That did it! I am doing a happy dance – I KNEW the drop-downs were working at one point! That’s because I had the copy protection script disabled while I was working on the site, and only re-enabled it before going public!

Now the client just has to decide what they want more – copyright protection for their contributors’ images, or having their Paypal button working…I have a feeling I know which they will choose.

Thank you again for the great support!

Ok, so I couldn’t help myself. I went ahead and tried it just now. The dropdowns still don’t work…[:-(

Next, I will try comparing the code to see if the editor is dropping something…but that will definitely have to wait until morning.

OK, I will give that a try, but probably not until tomorrow morning.

By the way, the button code from Paypal begins with:

<form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221; method=”post” target=”_top”>

…and goes on from there.

Actually, your solution looks easier than the Form Maker Pro instructions, which make no sense to me at all…

So I’m trying your solution. I’ve done everything up to, but not including, step #3 above – this is the code I have in my template-paypal.php file

<?php /** * Template Name: PayPal Template * * This is the template that displays all pages by default. * Please note that this is the WordPress construct of pages and that * other "pages" on your WordPress site will use a different template. * * @package Longevity */ get_header(); ?> <div class="container"> <?php get_sidebar( 'cta' ); ?> <?php get_sidebar( 'breadcrumbs' ); ?> <?php get_sidebar( 'top' ); ?> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-9"> <div id="primary" class="content-area"> <main id="main" class="site-main" role="main"> <?php // Start the loop. while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); // Include the page content template. get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'page' ); // If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template. if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) : comments_template(); endif; // End the loop. endwhile; ?> </main> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-3"> <?php get_sidebar( 'right' ); ?> </div> </div><!-- .row --> <?php get_sidebar( 'content-bottom' ); ?> </div><!-- .container --> <?php get_footer(); ?>

Does that look right?

Now, when you say:

Then, after that code and just above the closing </main> tag, the PayPal code would go in that spot.

, do you mean add it to the template-paypal.php page before I upload it? And where would I upload that file to? The page-emplates directory? Or the root “longevity” directory?

And, yes, I am a backup fiend!

Like Form Maker Pro? Which I have, and which is already installed on this site?

I found this, referreed to in an old thread about the problem, but either I’m suffering from Alzheimers or stress – I’m not GETTING it!

Follow-up on your follow-up…interesting thought. Searching the plugin directory for “forms” brings up a lot of contact form plugins, but that’s not what’s needed here – more research needed…

I’m using TinyMCE Advanced as my editor. I did see something in one of the posts about not switching back to the visual editor after inserting the Paypal code in the text editor, so I tried that, but it didn’t seem to make any difference. I’ll have to go back and try again, and see if when I update the page the editor strips anything out.

Never mind…found the tutorial.

Didn’t seem like there was going to be any action from the plugin author, so I changed the name of the page causing the problem to Plans & Handouts and used your custom css workaround, and it looks much better. With that tidbit I was also able to rename another page with the title I really wanted it to have in the menu, so thanks!

Not sure I should mark this as “resolved” because it isn’t, but it’s not really a theme issue, so if you wish to mark it resolved, that’s fine by me.

Well, I meant the way the whole top menu shifts left by a whole lotta pixels on the pages that are not gallery pages. Would a 20 pixel difference in the bootstrap settings account for all that movement? On my browser, if I leave my cursor just at the left of the Home button on a gallery page, and then go to the home page, leaving my cursor in the same spot, it lands at the left edge of “About Bluebirds”. That’s a lot more than 20 pixels. Just wondered if there were any additional clues there. Just thinking out loud…

Might have to do that on Plans & Handouts if they can’t resolve the bootstrap issue. Let’s hope, when they get up, they’ll be able to fix it. I think it’s the middle of the night wherever they are.

One thing I noticed – if, on a gallery page with the wonky menu, you put your cursor at the very left side of the “Home” button, and click Home, the entire menu is shifted to the left, way more than 20 pixels. Try it and tell me if you get the same thing.
