Thanks for the offer whooami, but I couldn’t afford to pay you.

Thanks also for the info and pointer towards the resources.

As soon as the server support get their act together, the site will be coming down for a while.

Yes. Manual editing, but seems very straightforward. There’s an explanation in the comments section at the theme’s page at https://wordpress.bytesforall.com/?p=51

Just had a look at the fantastic help section in the comments at https://wordpress.bytesforall.com/?p=51 and it has the answer to this.

I’m thinking of doing this too. Please advise. Is it just a matter of “all lines between x… and …y” in the style sheet?

I’m using it now. Using the options page, it is possible to set one of the sidebars to zero width, which makes it disappear.

You then have a two column theme.

It seems to then be a manual editing job to remove the “recent post” and “recent comments” widgets. I’m about to go and look at posts on that topic here.

You would then install your own links and widgets in the sidebar, as per usual.

Found it. It’s in style.php. Thanks for the help iridiax, it got me thinking on the right track.

Nope. I can’t see anything in header.php that looks like h2, h3 or widget titles.

Any more ideas?

Sorry about that. I think I now get what you mean. You want a plug in that lets you text link to images that appear in a lightbox type display format?

I’m not entirely sure, but I think this plugin claims to do it.

Have a look at the plugin homepage for eg.s. There’s an example of it (but using thumb nails as the link) at this site:

https://www.cambodia-cooking-class.com/fruits.htm

Do you mean you want a text link to a photo or gallery image? Just grab the permalink or url of the image and “link” it using the link button.

Like this.

Thank you. Thank you so much. I’m still using 2.5.1 and I’ve been gnashing my teeth trying to get Khmer characters to save as khmer characters rather than a string of question marks. This seems to have done it. Love you Otto42!

Thank you very much chaoskaizer, that looks like exactly what I need. The problem appears to be arising because the bot is still finding the *?= pages for some reason, and this will just stop it.

Thankyou!!!!

I don’t think that’s quite what I mean.

Google appears to be suggesting that the meta descriptions are duplicated between 1-The old urls and 2-the new urls. And it’s across the board. The meta on every post is considered a duplicate of it’s older (differently url-ed) self.

I’ve hand written (a whole lot of) 301 redirects into my .htaccess file.

Can anyone advise whether this was the right thing to do?

Will it fix the problem?
