Hi Nick,
After receiving your reply I tried removing the widget and then re-creating it again using your suggested icon size and border radius. It worked for a little while and has now reverted back to being square with rounded corners.
I can’t share links to pages just yet as the site is still being finalised and is yet to be made live. Once it is live, I’ll share with the hope that you can shed some light on this mystery!
Thanks

Hi Predrag,

The site is currently in maintenance mode. I could post the links, but I don’t know if you’d see them.

This is the home page where the screen shot is coming from:
https://www.sewhoitytoity.com.au/

This is the contact page where it is working fine:
https://www.sewhoitytoity.com.au/contact/

If you know another way for me to show you this, I’m open to suggestions. ??

Kylie

Hiya Predrag,

Maybe my problem is that I’m trying to use the widgetised areas in a place that’s not normally a widget area. I’ve tried putting it in the middle of my home page.

Here’s where… just above the purple button in the screenshot.

Cheers,
K

Hi Tina!
Have you managed to solve the “squares” problem? I’m having a similar problem, but only on my home page.

No, I don’t. I do have the Transient Cleaner plugin installed and ran it, but no difference. I also tried updating permalinks… no luck!

Just got this info from here:
https://perishablepress.com/stupid-htaccess-tricks/#gen1

If WordPress is installed in some subdirectory “foo”, WordPress creates and uses the following htaccess directives:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /foo/
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule . /foo/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

FYI. It didn’t work.

Hi Kidcompassion,

Totally comfortable. I had already tried something like this (and just did again) but it just redirects to the sub-directory.

I changed my .htaccess file to say this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?alittlereddress.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ lrdd [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

In the past, when I’ve had a wordpress site in a sub-directory, I could set the…

Site Address (URL) to:
https://www.mydomain.com

WordPress Address (URL) to:
https://www.mydomain.com/sub-directory/

but the site itself would still look like all of the content was sitting at the main domain level for all intents and purposes. That’s what I’m trying to achieve now as well, but for some reason, it’s gone all screwy.

Go figure!

Whoops!
The client site is:
https://www.ccsha.com

Hal,
What is the PHP function, perhaps I can talk to my hosting company. Is there a reason hosting companies are disabling this function? Is it some kind of security risk?

Regards.

Hiya folks,

For anyone experiencing this issue…my solution was to add my new CPT, associate to the post thumbnails section of code in the functions.php file, for example:

<?php
// This theme uses post thumbnails
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'page', 'article', 'presentation', 'case-study', 'client', 'home-banner', 'people', 'solution', 'tool', 'service', 'associate' ) );
// Add it for posts

I’d completely overlooked the functions.php file when I coded my new CPT and a bit of googling pointed me in that direction.

Hope this helps someone else with their implementation of such a great plugin!

Cheers,
K

Thanks Matt…rookie mistake! I realised my error, when I tested the site on another PC.
Sorry about the double post. My ADSL is running like a dog at the moment. I didn’t realise this first post went through.

Thanks Matt…rookie mistake! I realised my error, when I tested the site on another PC.

Understand…it’s most often simple things that cause the problems.

You’ve actually just thought of something very helpful…plugins. I don’t have one installed that modifies roles, but I do have one that allows you to make custom post types, Custom Post Type UI. There are special fields in this that you can turn on or off and one of those is….ta da! Author.

So beware anyone using Custom Post Type UI you need to particularly select Author as a supported field under Advanced Options of the post type. By default this isn’t selected.

Thanks Bill, problem solved!

Yes, Bill. ??
One has the role ‘Author’ and two others are ‘Administrator’. I was logged in as myself (an Administrator) when I created some article posts for my manager…he has an account as Author and wrote the actual articles, so I’d like to change the post author to his user name so he gets credit on the live site. Does that make sense?

Hi jessn… nope! No ‘Author’ drop down. Just title, slug, date, password, categories and publish status.

Hi Bill…yes, I’m an administrator.

It’s all very frustrating! Thanks for your help.
