    Thanks for the suggestions, jdc20181.

    Well, I solved part of this and the other part solved itself.

    I can access my webpage today. Sometime, overnight, my Airport Extreme and/or domain host permitted access again. I researched a lot about port-forwarding to resolve this problem as reported by other Airport Extreme users. If this occurs again I can use a cellular phone or direct ethernet cable connection to my computer to get access. That’s something I’ll need to work out between my ISP and my domain hosting company.

    The other part that I solved this morning was getting my Administrator password accepted by WordPress. What had happened is that I changed the password in my wp_users table and it stayed in what I guess is plain text (it was readable, just as I had typed it in). But I discovered that editing the password and choose MD5 from the functions menu converted the password into something that WordPress accepted. I was able to log in normally from that point.

    I figured it out with two solutions.

    The easiest was to add an iframe to the page and link it to the .html file created by Avenza’s MAP Web Author. The drawback is that floating captions for map markers are confined to the iframe. If you hover over one and bring up the floating caption box, it’s cut off where it intersects the boundary of the iframe.

    The second solution was to code the dimensions of the div (“map container”) in the CSS file for the theme (or child theme). I hadn’t given it enough vertical space to display the map.

    Sorry…just saw “Custom formatting” within the Shortcodes Settings. It’s enabled. But the third column is below the first column–the first and second columns are at the same vertical position in the page layout. So that’s an improvement.

    Disabling “Custom formatting” continues to make the third column position below the first column–and the first and second columns are vertically offset by a <p> amount.

    How do you turn on custom formatting? Is that within the Shortcodes Settings or within the WordPress Dashboard or within a .php file?

    Thanks for the response, Zygotti. When I asked my question, I didn’t understand what WPtouch was doing. What I really was looking for was using WPtouch for mobile devices but have a desktop/laptop theme that basically look the same. That way a user could view my web app on both the PC/Mac and on the smartphone or tablet.

    If I was a developer, I could create or modify another theme so it had the same look and feel as the WPtouch version. So it seems my best option for integrating the theme with its WPtouch version is to find a theme that, right out of the box, looks a lot like WPtouch’s version on my smartphone or tablet.

    I was about to write in with the same observation. At my site, only the h4 tag is indented. And fortunately, that only occurs on the page with the slideshow.

    I saw this in the beta for the current version but didn’t write in. My bad!
