@dimitris33, thanks for this suggestion. I’m still not ready to go live, but when I am, I’ll give this plug-in a shot (and report back.)

Very sorry for being so slow to respond. Sometimes real life intrudes

Cheers!

OK. Problem solved. Instead of giving the truncated address:

wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Logo_header1.png

I have to give the exact address:

https://www.nixon-wit.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Logo_header1.png

Now it works on all pages.

Belay that! The multisite just crashed again ??

filoveg, you’re not alone!

I’ve had this problem on two sites – one multisite and one single site – after upgrading to the newest version of WP. In the middle of posting an entry I get this “Connection lost” notification and then the site locks and is unaccessible for up to 10 minutes. Trying to load the front end of the site I get a “Server 500” error and instructions to contact my web administrator. If I don’t get Server 500, the page may eventually load but with a damaged appearance (most of the theme customization is gone).

After about 10 minutes the site becomes accessible again – both front and back ends – only to seize up again as soon as I try to edit a post. I’ve used Firefox and Chrome with the same result, and two different computers.

My web hotel tell me it isn’t their fault.

In both cases I’d upgraded the Yoast SEO plugin at the same time and blamed that (to the point of uninstalling Yoast), but that was NOT the problem as I have now reinstalled the latest version of Yoast (wich is what I upgraded to) and both sites are now working.

Sorry to hear you are still getting the problem over 7-10 days. My sites seem to be stable again now, in one case after three days, in the other after 48 hours. (Of course they might crash again, who knows, but just at present I’m keeping my fingers crossed and not meddling.)

I’m sorry there’s nothing constructive I can suggest, but I wanted you to know you’re not alone and wish you good luck!

Any progress on this?

I’m trying to use WPRollback to get Yoast SEO back to a form that works for me, but I get no Rollback button to click on.

WP says WPRollback hasn’t been tested as compatible with the version of WP I have installed (4.3.1). Is this the problem?

Thanks for your suggestions doublesharp.

Unfortunately the second option (adding the code to functions-php) didn’t work.

Editing the multicons.php file did work, but now it seems as though the icons I had uploaded for the plugin to use have disappeared. Is it possible the recent upgrade erased them?

Or perhaps the older version of the plugin required them to be in a different place than the WP’s Media file?

The latter seems more likely – in fact without Multicon, the website finds the favicon (but presumably not the Apple icon). I’m not in a position to spend time sorting this out now so I’ll keep Muliticons deactivated a while longer.

Thanks Bojan,

That did the trick.

For anyone else looking for this, I made hyperlinks bold as well as changing the colour slightly by adding the following adaptation of Bojan’s code to my child theme css.

.entry-content a {
    color: #000066;
    font-weight: bold;
}

I had the same problem Deesh. Check that the template chosen for your new pages is the “Full width” one, not the “Default”.

Hi WanderlustWomen,

The website looks good. Congratulations!

It looks like you chose in the end to put the social icons only in the footer, though. Are you happy with that?

Cheers

Hi WanderlustWomen,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you – I’m on holiday and often AFK at present.

Here is my sandbox so you can see the AccessPress Social Icons in use:
https://sandbox.thesupercargo.com/

What I did was take the Template Shortcode for the icon set and add it to my Child Theme header.php wrapped in a div id called “header icons”.

<div id="header_icons">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[aps-social id="N"]')?>
</div>

(Replace “N” with the number AccessPress Social Icons gives you.)

It took a bit of trial and error, but I ended up putting it under the div class “header image” and before the div id=”content” class=”page-wrap”.

Then I had to add something about the header icons to the Child Theme style.css. I had to tinker with the padding, but this is what I ended up with:

#header_icons {
float:left;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px;
width:300px
}

So, there they are to the bottom left. I’m sure it’s not an elegant solution – I’m no programmer – but it works.

I’m not sure how you would get your icons to show top right – float them right in the css of course, but you’ll have to experiment to find the best place to put the code into the header to get them above the masthead.

Good luck!

(Edited for spelling.)

Using AccessPress Social Icons. So far , very satisfied. The plug in allows me to design my own icons and insert them wherever I need them with shortcodes or (via a line of code) into the header.

OK. My mistake. I misunderstood your silent instructional video.

(Is it supposed to be out of focus in big screen mode? It’s not easy to see.)

Thanks for your response awanrmb.

I’ve not been able to find a plug-in that does that. Can you recommend one?

So simple!

Thank you, Vlad.

Cappienon, you’re very welcome!

I’ve had so much help from different people on the WP forums over the years, I’m delighted to be able to give a little back.
