Yes, I’ve read it. Unfortunately, it’s not relevant to my situation because it’s about posts, not pages.
That is correct. These are pages, not posts, so I’m just using Simple Page Ordering, not Real Custom Post Order.
The developer who built the custom theme set it up to recreate the look of a Freshdesk FAQ site, which this site has replaced.
The one parent page displays the basic site. The main page list is a sidebar that shows all the child pages (information categories). The grandchild pages (individual topics) show up in a list in the main body of the page. When you click on one of them, the topic page loads in the main page body, replacing the list of topics.
I’m afraid that this situation requires a simpler approach. I’ve renamed the overview pages so they float to the top of an alphabetical listing. I wish I could solve this in software, but that doesn’t look possible.

In reply to: Using numeric page order to rearrange child and grandchild pagesHi, @corrinarusso! Thanks for your reply.
I’m not the one who set up this arrangement, just the person who wrote the content and is maintaining the site. If it were one of my 12 or so WP sites, I’d probably approach this differently.
Honestly, I’m pretty sure you can understand why I’m really not up for recreating 203 pages as posts! All the content has the same essential date, so that’s not going to provide a sort mechanism, and we don’t want to age any of it by attaching a visible date to it.
Do I understand from your observations that page order cannot be maintaining in separate sections but only across the entire site? If so, I’ll either leave the order as is (alphabetical) or add text to the title of the Overview page in each section so it alphabetizes first.
Hi, Matthias:
Just realized that this post is under your other plug-in’s support page. My bad.
We have parent pages with child pages under them. The menu order of each set of child pages is numbered. Each set of child pages goes from 1 to (whatever), usually between 4 and 15.
So in standard alphabetical order, it works like this—
Parent 1 (menu order 0)
Child 1 (menu order 1)
Child 2 (menu order 2)
Parent 2 (menu order 0)
Child 1 (menu order 1)
Child 2 (menu order 2)I used Simple Page Ordering to change the menu order so the child pages are not in alphabetical order under the parent pages.
Now, it’s supposed to work like this—
Parent 1 (menu order 0)
Child 2 (menu order 1)
Child 1 (menu order 2)
Parent 2 (menu order 0)
Child 1 (menu order 1)
Child 2 (menu order 2)However, the website itself did not change.
Thank you! The loading image now appears at the correct size.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I need to control the size of the loading image so it is not scaled past actual size.
The image appears at several times its actual size, and as a result, it is very pixelated. I am trying to correct the upscaling, which is responsible for the distorted appearance of the image.
I have activated the license key again, but the loading image remains distorted.
Any insights into why the loading image is distorted? I would like to solve this problem.

The site is here. I was hoping not to share this link because it’s under development.
I’d just like to know the optimum image size so I’m not wasting bandwidth loading overly large images, but I’m not jeopardizing image quality with upscaling.
Yes, I followed those directions to change the loading icon. What I’m saying is that the image is distorted.
And as to the size of the team member images: If I want to display them 3 across on desktop, 2 across on tablets, and 1 across on phones, what is the optimal width/height of the images in pixels at 72 ppi?

In reply to: [SVG Support] Controlling SVG dimensionsActually, I have a lot of experience with AI/EPS/PDF; with SVG, not so much.
But if your clients were sending you 120 px logos, lucky you! I’ve had to deal with 72 ppi thumbnails of ornate contraptions that make the average heraldic crest look simple. [Yeah, I know: the classic “my client stories are worse than yours” paradigm! ;-)]
So my workaround works if I skip a specific theme feature, which implies the feature incorporates some padding or something like it. What I’m not sure about, however, is how that padding could appear on the crop-your-logo screen. Hrm…

In reply to: [SVG Support] Controlling SVG dimensionsYour plug-in solves the endless problem of pixelated artwork and scalar challenges. I come from the world of print, in which the Moment of Dread commences when the client says, “You need my logo for the brochure? Oh, why not grab it from our website!” If I had a dime for every logo I’ve redrawn in AI, I could retire to the French Riviera.
The white-space issue only crops up if I’ve merged WP header and navigation, and then added the logo to the navigation so it’s part of the menu bar. If I’m adding the logo to a regular header, no problem. (This is in the GeneratePress/GeneratePress Premium theme.) I would suspect some kind of padding, but the white space shows up when I’m trying to add the logo, on the screen on which I’d be cropping it if I could.
I’ve turned off the header/nav merger, so the issue’s moot at this point.
I use the bounding-box trick in AI to control dimensions on artwork for print as well as for online use. The biggest problem I see people run into with the technique is that they forget to override the AI default white fill/black stroke and wonder why there’s an outline around their art. ??

In reply to: Child-theme post-randomizing PHP interferes with WP Site HealthThank you! I customized this
if (is_page('portfolio')) { ... your other code here }
with the page name and used it as a wrapper around the existing code. The Site Health inspector is happy now.
