In reply to: Some html code on pageI really dislike
display: none;
. It’s like getting someone to hang a picture on your wall, then you decide you don’t like it, so instead of taking it down, you pin a bedsheet over it. You can no longer see the picture but it’s still there.Take down the picture by adding this to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'remove_comment_form_allowed_tags' ); function remove_comment_form_allowed_tags( $defaults ) { $defaults['comment_notes_after'] = ''; return $defaults; }

In reply to: My site has lost all its sidebar items….If he does have a lifetime license, he may be happy to upgrade your sites for you. It depends on whatever contract he had with you I suppose.
Install php-mysql. Restart Apache.

In reply to: change page color PadhangYou can either use a Child Theme for this or use a custom CSS plugin. If you’re only going to make small changes, give the plugin a try first. I like this:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/simple-custom-css/
Once installed, go to the plugin editor in Dashboard -> Appearance and enter this little snippet of CSS:
#content { background-color: #ccc; }
and save. That should make your main content element a shade of gray. You may want to pick a different color. Here’s a big list of them, just replace the #ccc.

If everything goes awry for you, just delete the CSS to leave the Custom CSS edit screen blank, and you’re back to default again.

In reply to: My site has lost all its sidebar items….Thesis is a paid-for design and template manager for WordPress. You buy a plan which is either for 12 months renewable or lifetime of the product. Your sites have version 1.6 installed. Like I say, it’s now at v2.1.9.
Your former developer may have had a lifetime license but no matter what, you’re stuck on version 1.6.

In reply to: No Editor feature under AppearanceWhoops, dupe entry by mistake.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: No Editor feature under AppearanceEditing PHP through WordPress is a very risky process, as a single character out of place can down your entire website. We encourage all users to edit PHP through SFTP, as you can use SFTP and a text editor to achieve the same editing goals in a much safer fashion
Hear hear!
Round of applause for Synthesis then!
