In reply to: Changing permalinks for only certain categoriesThere are plugins to change a permalinks on a single post/page/category, etc., but I can’t recall any way to do this over an entire category automatically.
However, this would be a good candidate for a custom post type. You could easily set your permalink structure to do what you want on that post type, and it would be unaffected by the main Permalinks setting.
As for your post-id question, I haven’t got an answer. I tried manually incrementing the ID in the database, but that doesn’t seem to work any longer.

In reply to: Problem with mobile speedIt is pretty slow for me as well, even testing it on a very fast cable connection. I suspect that it has to do with the number of external Javascripts that you have on the page. Mobile browsers will have a much harder time loading these quickly than a desktop.
I would definitely look at trying to reduce the number of external scripts if speed on mobile is important to you. I also noticed that the social media icons on the left side cover up a portion of the left side of the content, making it difficult to read the page. You may want to address that as well, as it could frustrate users trying to view your content.
Hope that helps!

In reply to: Don't want a sidebar on blog pageYou’re right, it surely doesn’t give you the full-width layout when a page is designated as the Posts page under Settings > Reading Settings.

In reply to: Inserting a downloaded sliderIt definitely looks like the should be more to this slider. Perhaps the contents of the zip file need to be in your site’s folder somewhere. If there is a link to instructions online, that may help me to help you. ??

In reply to: WordPress 4.1.1 is over-compressing new imagesChris,
Do you have a link to a specific post/page showing this? Even better, would you possibly have a before/after I could check out?
I did a quick look in the changelog, but I didn’t see anything that jumped out that might have caused it.

In reply to: Format PainterThere’s nothing in the core WordPress installation, but there may be some plugins in the repository that will give you that functionality.
I know there is at least one paid plugin, but since I’m not sure what the policy on recommending commercial plugins is, I’ll leave it to you to search for on your own.

In reply to: Read More tag seems to be causing display problems on mobile devicesStart with this section of CSS:
.screen-reader-text { clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px); position: absolute !important; }
In the responsive layouts, it seems like it’s kicking out to the side of the content. It’s also encapsulated in the More tags, so that would likely be a culprit.

In reply to: To do / Action ListMaybe something with custom post types and a fancy form? I’ve built similar things using the WP-Types toolkit.

In reply to: spam in taglineOh, boy. Spam sucks. Luckily, it’s not too difficult to get rid of.
1. Remain calm!
2. Carefully follow this guide.
3. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.
4. Have a cookie. You deserve it!

In reply to: save changes and takes you to posts pageHave you tried disabling any plugins? In particular, any sort of redirection or caching plugins; both types are bad about causing an issue like this.
Regardless, try disabling one plugin at a time to see if the issue clears itself. Please respond back once you’ve tried this, and we can know where to look next.

In reply to: plugins wont downloadTry checking your server logs. If you’re unfamiliar with how to do this, your hosting company should be able to help you out. This sounds like it’s possibly running out of memory (I’ve had the same issue multiple times on budget hosts).
Report back with any errors you’re seeing in the logs, and that will probably indicate a direction to start looking in.

In reply to: Twitter Widget Code through Text Widget not showing up on homepageIs there any javascript/feature that exists on the front page only? It looks like there’s some sort of javascript errors with your ad scripts. I’d try disabling those one at a time to see if it helps get it working.
