I would really rather prefer to get a reply from someone who knows what I’m talking about.

I’m assuming the Super Admin role is only distinguished on a Network site? It’s not really clear if that is rolled into the Admin role on a one-domain install or if that section for the Dashboard user email (as opposed to the user admin email) is hidden somewhere else I’m not seeing.

I’m also not seeing where it mentions anything about who gets emailed which auto-notifications based on events, such as a new user being created (which I already know emails the primary admin, which is the user whose email I need to change, or any other sort of other auto-generated email.

The reason that’s important is because we want to put an email in there that shares to multiple people that do not all have the password, and I’m concerned they may getting too much information.

My context had nothing to do with my particular site; it was a general question. Assume it’s any WordPress site, and this has nothing to do with the actual content. I just want to know if it’s better to show the posts first or the categories first, overall, from a user-using-a-WordPress-blog experience. I can’t answer your questions because they’re context-relative and obviously have not already been answered by what-anybody-wants. If the boss wanted one first he would have said so. I am just asking in an overall sense whether it’s a better experience for the user to have Categories first or Posts first on the side. Those contextual/content questions don’t apply, and what I’m asking is not something that has to have those questions answered first, because it’s not 100% relative to that (it’s probably not even 50%, though for conversation’s sake lets just assume it is and address the other 50%).

This is just on an any-WordPress-site question, is it better to have Categories showing first or Recent Posts showing first in the sidebar? If anybody can provide any experience with this, please let me know.

It’s not about what I want, it’s about what’s best for the user, because that translates into the most convenience for them and the least annoyance. I don’t know which is better to put first; what I want is irrelevant, because I don’t use the site.

On the homepage the most recent posts show already, so that’s an argument against it being above categories in the sidebar, but what I’m looking for is people’s experience in this and recommendation, meaning someone who’s actually heard people’s feedback or seen some usage of these sections by users to see which makes more sense. The opinion you posted isn’t any better or worse than my opinion, which would be to put categories first, for my own reasons, but I’m not the user, so neither opinion is substantive or based on user experience.

It’s not open-ended, it’s one or the other. If you have no idea, then there’s no need to post. I’m just looking for something substantive.

The Twenty Twelve and Twenty Thirteen themes both show the featured image at the top of the post. The Twenty Fourteen theme doesn’t, so this is a recent arbitrary decision by WordPress that the Evolve theme has apparently subscribed to with no thought to previous compatibility.

We do want featured images to show in the posts and pages, and there is no option to in the theme. The only solution seems to be to edit the theme code or make a new template, which I’m afraid will get overwritten if we update the theme. The alternative is of course the child theme option I mentioned, which has the complications as well.

Oh, huh ?? look at that. I didn’t know that was the button for it. I’m a little afraid to click things in editors sometimes if I’m not sure what they will do. Hopefully that is persistent across all pages and login sessions and users (though I wouldn’t expect it for users). I didn’t see the instructions for that in the help pages or FAQ or on the Settings page. The other developer I worked with couldn’t figure it out either, and I’ve worked with other toolbars like this and got everything to show with them, so maybe it should be pointed out or be more obvious or be enabled by default.

Sorry for the trouble, I did previously notice other posts in the support forums about this though (I just couldn’t reply to them) and they didn’t have answers.

Thanks.

When I first used WordPress the featured image did show at the top of the post, and most themes I’ve seen did the same thing. I’ve only seen a few that didn’t, including Evolve, however I don’t see why there isn’t an option to enable it. This seems a matter of preference and there should at least be the option as WordPress has a function just for this, and rather than clicking an option I now have to modify theme code which can get overwritten in an update unless I make a child theme and use versioning and code-compare to update. No matter how I cut it it seems cumbersome. We’re trying to avoid modifying theme code.

Custom post types is over-complicated for everybody. I will look into a plugin that will give an option to have it added to the post regardless of the theme, if possible.

There’s no “Blog” option in Appearance for me.

I’ve tried everything but digging into the code to find it, and nothing will get any other bars but the first one to show.

Thanks.

Not a good feature though.

You can change the theme code, but then that means you can’t update it unless you make a child theme first.

I’m assuming you’re talking about the Front Page Content Boxes in Theme Options, and I’m seeing no option to use images for the FontAwesome CSS icons either. That would be REALLY useful. Those icons are just not adequate for what we need, and we shouldn’t be restricted.

Maybe there is a FontAwesome codeword to allow an image?

I discovered the installs were set up through “QuickInstall” in cPanel (hosted by a previous developer unfortunately) which had an option on install to “enable auto-updates”, but it’s nice to know the latest WordPress auto-updates, which most of our installs have.

However, my worry is when plugins go out of date, which seems to be a common problem. I did notice that the plugins will state “there’s a new version” with an option to update, so that means WordPress will update automatically but the plugins won’t, potentially leading to random site crashes and downtime. I do notice the dashboard says “Future security updates will be applied automatically.”, which is fine actually since security updates generally don’t break attached software.

However, I think it should still be left up to the developer whether to auto-update, and there should be a checkbox during install and on the dashboard to enable/disable this. There should also be one for plugins and themes.

How do I disable auto-updates?

You guys have missed my questions.

What are the interface differences of the different WordPress setups? There are three (maybe four) and you guys have only mentioned two.

1. WordPress.com free sub-domain
2. WordPress.com paid sub-domain
3. WordPress.com paid domain
4. Self-hosted

Your screenshots showed the self-hosted interface which looks different than my free WordPress.com sub-domain. I want to know not only what other differences there are there from a self-hosted, but what differences there are from those and the other two I mentioned.

Can you please just tell me if the interfaces and features are different for the WordPress.com hosted product (which has free sub-domain or paid sub-domain or paid full domain) and self-hosted? So far there’s three products here but you’re only indicating two support forums (which is ridiculous to begin with):

WordPress.com-hosted free sub-domain
WordPress.com(-hosted?) paid-for domain
self-hosted domain

Please indicate where the differences are and where I can see them.
