You can use a plugin like Download Monitor for this. (It’s free in the repository.)

You can also add a few lines to your .htaccess file to tell it which file types to force download on, e.g.

AddType application/octet-stream .mp3

There’s a plugin called Genesis Co-Authors Plus that does this for you, though there are some issues with it and it’s pretty old. Hoping to learn enough to publish a tutorial.

I’m looking for an answer to this question, and none of the support threads I’ve found so far adequately addresses it. I’ll try to remember to loop back if I figure it out.

Okay, now when I load it, it looks fine. And I’d been using the plugin successfully since, hm, February maybe?

Hmm. I tried deactivating both SG cache (SiteGround’s caching plugin) and WP-Rocket, and clearing both of those and CloudFlare, and it wasn’t working. But if you aren’t seeing errors, maybe it was just a blip!

Hi, Jackie.

The error messages appear both on the front of the site and in the admin. They go away if I deactivate the plugin.

The complete error messages are:

Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_1u8slts1cd72kul89a78ria607, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/revadeve/public_html/wp-content/plugins/genesis-communities-cpt/includes/functions.php on line 144

I did get help, by going directly to the developer. (This client had a copy of the pro version as well as the basic one, though the problem occurred in both cases.) Naomi sent me an updated beta version of the plugin, and that took care of it. I would have expected a public update to be out by now. I haven’t noticed any new problems with recent further updates of WP and Gravity Forms.

PS Worked perfectly. Thanks again!

Bless you for responding so quickly. I’ll get on that right away.

Do you mean in the single post view? You’d need to edit the single.php template and remove the code that displays the featured image (it will say something like the_post_thumbnail).

If you’re planning to change page templates, though, you will want to build a child theme in order to avoid having your changes overwritten when there’s an update to the theme. Instructions for building a basic child theme are here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes.

There are some handy plugins to help you with this. Imsanity will restrict image sizes for uploads and also has a bulk-resize function: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/imsanity/

If you’re looking to compress the images rather than resize them (if, say, your largest images are only 1280×720 and people are not uploading images that are 5,000 pixels wide), then you can use EWWW Image Optimizer https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/.

You can use both plugins together on the same site.

Try EWWW Image Optimizer (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/) and/or Imsanity (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/imsanity/). The first compresses images; the second resizes them either at the time of upload or afterwards. You may need to change both the image dimensions and the compression, so you can use them both on the same site.

You could always cheat and use the awesomely useful Display Posts Shortcode plugin (plugin here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/; instructions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/).

For your query, you need something more like this:

<?php
$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'en',
       'posts_per_page' => '1',
	'tax_query' => array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'service',
			'field'    => 'slug',
			'terms'    => 'term_name',
		),
	),
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>

You can see more examples at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters

Rather than editing your stylesheet directly, you might want to use the Custom CSS extension in Jetpack or install a plugin like Simple Custom CSS. Then your customizations will not be overwritten if you update the theme.

Next, go to the part of the site you want to change the font in, right-click, and choose “inspect element.” This will show you the classes that apply, one of which will control font size.

Right now your p (paragraph) class shows

p {
   font: 19px/1.65em "HelveticaNeue","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
    color: #444;
}

If you wanted a smaller font size, you could just add

p {
font-size:16px;
}

To your custom CSS file. Then save your custom CSS and look at the post. If the size seems right, that’s all you need to do. If not, you can experiment with the font size until you get it right.

Do you get the same problem if you switch to the default theme and turn off plugins? And what happens if you create a new category that doesn’t have a parent category?
