Thanks, Corey. I think I will try to change my theme on WordPress from the 2013 child theme that I am using now to Make. One question…other than how is the weather in Alaska….whenever I try to edit a new theme I have the option to save and activate. But I don’t see where I can just save and preview. Perhaps that is more of a WordPress issue.

It worked….easy if you know what you are doing…or if an expert like the gray parrots helps. thanks again.

Thanks…will do.

Well I did change to the 2014 theme and then back to my child theme and that seemed to solve the problem. I was afraid I would lose everything if I switched themes, but apparently it does not work like that. So try changing to 2014 and then back to your current them. If that does not work try deactivating all plug ins and installing them one by one if it seems to correct the problem.

I don’t know if my comment fits this category, but I cannot add links either. Why do they tell us to upgrade when everything falls apart?

If I change to 2014 as they suggest, then my blog looks nothing like it did before. Very narrow on the page, can’t add links, you name it. I am using a child theme of 2012 that worked fine until I updated.

So where do I go from here. I am not a designer and it took me forever to get it to look the way it does now.

Thanks that helps. Just have to talk to me like a 6 year old. Anything above that leaves me lost.

I don’t know…..why not just give me your best suggestion and I will follow your advice.

Sorry I don’t know the correct lingo, but what I mean is that I want people who are genuinely interested in posting comments to be able to do so without having all these unwanted “new user registrations”.

Well, I did not understand the process. I have no reason to allow open registration, but how do I allow the legitimate ones. You said enter them manually….how do I know who they are? Thanks.

Well, now I am confused. I get emails that say [New User Registration] sent by [email protected]

Ok, thanks again. Guess I learn something new every day. If I live to be about 180 I might actually know something!

That did it. Thanks so much. Should I also check “Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page” It is one of the options shown.

btw, I am suddenly receiving a lot of spam comments on my previous pages. I suppose anyone looking the support page picks up my site and spam-o.

I went in to edit, but I don’t see “allow comments” anywhere. (Believe it or not LOL)

Ok, I have done as you suggested.

Ok, let be sure I understand. I should de-activate all plug-ins and then activate the parent theme? Thanks for your patience and help!
