Fantastic. That did the job. Thank you very much for your time and expertise. Very much appreciated.

Thanks for all your help. Some progress has been made following your suggestion to comment out all of lines 98,99 and 176. The 3 consecutive dots are now displayed correctly, however, the 3 consecutive dashes are displayed incorrectly as a long and short dash. Previously the 3 consecutive dashes had been displayed as one long dash. If you look at the header of my site you will see what I am referring to.
Now .-.. –- …- . Convergence of Parallel Worlds

Hope someone makes a plugin to facilitate these “auto correct” options. WP shouldn’t rely on AI and give us mortals a try ??

Mizagorn

Thank you very much for your kind reply and suggestions. I opted for the modification of the auto-correction of dots+dashes.

The original codes for lines 98,99,176 are as follows:

$static_characters = array_merge( array( '...', '`’, ‘\’\”, ‘ ™’ ), $cockney );
$static_replacements = array_merge( array( ‘…’, $opening_quote, $closing_quote, ‘ ?’ ), $cockneyreplace );

$dynamic[ ‘/—/’ ] = $em_dash;
`

When I replaced them with your suggestions I was unable to log in to my site. Blank page. Restoring the original code enables me to get my site abzu2.com back up Using a child Elucidate theme to use modifications, don’t know if that could be an issue ??

TIA

Chrisdc1,

Thank you for your kind reply. I was unaware of the WP auto-correction function. Will investigate into how to customise if possible and if there is a plugin that facilitates this option. Thank you.

I tested another theme, which I should have from the beginning of the current problem with the featured image being added to new post notifications with the Email subscribers plugins ###POSTIMAGE### option.
Same problem: no image inserted in posts. So it definitely is not a theme related problem. Added the corrected code to my child theme you so kindly provided and nix. I will contact the author of the plugin again and see if he can be a bit more helpful after providing him with the results of the tests I have made. Thank you.

OK. The corrected code didn’t trash my site. I will test it to see if the featured image is now inserted in new post notifications. Chrisdc1 thanks for all your help. Much appreciated.

Temporary freak out. Managed to access the file via FTP from Bluehost and eliminate the lines that were added. Back to square one.

I am locked out from https://www.abzu2.com/wp-admin/
Can’t access the dashboard or change themes.
Go to abzu2.com and you will see my situation.
My site is hosted with Blue Host and hopefully I can get help from them.
Bad scenario.

!!! HELP !!!

Added your suggested lines to the Elucidate child theme and after updating the functions.php file I CAN’T LOG INTO MY BLOG !!! All I get is a blank page. How do i get out of this mess and reverse this scenario ?

Don’t know if I have misunderstood: “Code fixed, please wrap code in backticks or use the code button. ]”

Above code looks identical to the elucidate_setup() link. As far as I can ascertain the above code is wrapped in backticks.

??

Would appreciate confirmation if the following modification to functions.php in my child theme is correct. TIA

[ Moderator note: Code fixed, please wrap code in backticks or use the code button. ]

<?php 

function elucidate_byline() {
	printf( __( 'Posted by', 'elucidate' ) . ' ' . '<span class="author vcard"><a href="%1$s">%2$s</a></span>',
		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_author() )
	);
}

function elucidate_setup() {

	/**

	 * Translations can be filed in the /languages/ directory
	 * If you're building a theme based on Elucidate, use a find and replace

	 */
	load_theme_textdomain( 'elucidate', get_template_directory() . '/languages' );

	/**
	 * Add default posts and comments RSS feed links to head

	add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );

	/**

	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
	set_post_thumbnail_size( 680, 9999 );
	add_image_size( 'elucidate-full-width', 920, 9999 );

	/**
	 * This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in one location.
	 */
	register_nav_menus( array(
		'primary' => __( 'Primary Menu', 'elucidate' ),
		'social' => __( 'Social Media Menu', 'elucidate' ),
	) );

	/**
	 * Enable support for Post Formats
	 */
	add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'image', 'quote' ) );

	/**
	 * Setup the WordPress core custom background feature.
	 */
	add_theme_support( 'custom-background', apply_filters( 'elucidate_custom_background_args', array(
		'default-color' => 'ffffff',
		'default-image' => '',
	) ) );
}
endif; // elucidate_setup
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'elucidate_setup' );

I had suspected that there may have been an issue with the child theme and tried posting with the original Elucidate theme, Same result, no featured image in new post notifications emailed to subscribers using Email Subscribers plugin. Will add your lines as suggested and see how it goes. Thank you very much.

They aren’t appearing in the emails generated by this plugin. According to the plugin author it uses the default wordpress method get_the_post_thumbnail() to load the images. My understanding is that this string should be in functions.php. Which at least in my case it is not.
Thanks for the reply.

Tested. Eliminated the previously created template-tags.php file from the child folder and added the style.css + functions.php in your zip file. Activated elucidate-child. Works perfectly.
Thank you to All for your kind replies.

Reminds me of:
