Wow, Firebug sure is amazing. It’s a bit complicated for me.

The bottom reads 5.1s (onload: 4.31s).

Unless you can see something serious I think I’ll let it be.

Much appreciation,

Kerry

Hi juggledad,

I sure appreciate your patience.

How do I check load time speed?

I have five plugins (all activated):
Akismet
Easy Columns
Jetpack by WordPress.com
WP Shortcode by MyThemeShop (no idea how to use this)
WP Super Cache (no idea how to use this)

Thank you,

Kerry

Hi juggledad,

Thanks for checking.

So, I just copied the Arial font family from Windows8.1 > Control Panel > Fonts > Arial (the whole Arial font family) and then created a sideout/fonts/Arial directory and uploaded Arial to— https://www.comcom121.org/deargabby/wp-content/themes/side-out/fonts/Arial.

What do you do to get the 404 error? I use IE, FF, Opera, and Google Chrome to test my work and I’m not getting 404’s.

Kerry

Thanks juggledad. I changed it to Arial, we’ll see what happens.

Hi juggledad,

I deleted the GSpeech reading plugin and its code on all the posts.

I’ll check the css and see if the OpenSans-Regulat.ttf is there.

Thanks muchly,

Kerry

Hi juggledad,

I don’t know where “OpenSans-Regulat.ttf” comes from—maybe it’s a default font with the Side Out theme? Maybe I should specify a font?

This is what I’m using on gab1,

“[ezcol_1half id=”” class=”” style=””]
<span style=”color: #000080;”>Dear Ann Landers: I separated from … </span>

<span style=”color: #000080;”>Six months ago, I became involved with a man at work. He is kind and sweet, and is willing …”

I don’t know what to insert between the id “” or class=”” or the style=”” quotation marks.

Kerry

Hi uggledad,

Thanks for the thorough reply. I’ll try your suggestions.

What do you mean by “The net option in FireBug shows a 1.9S wait while looking for the OpenSans-Regulat.ttf and it got a 404 Not Found”?

and plugin 0- ?

Much appreciation,

Kerry

Disregard the above: I installed another theme “Side Out” and it works much better.

Thank you,

Kerry

Thanks WPyogi,

Got it about giving her ad space. My bad.

Your suggestion for the WP Easy Columns plugin is great. I got it working.
I’m confused about the html/code to put between the id and class quotation marks. This is what I have [ezcol_1half id=”” class=”” style=”font-size: medium;”].

Kerry

Thanks WPyogi,

I’ll look for a plugin.

BTW: I just rec’d the following email from “Jane.” Apparently she’s trolling the forum. Is there a privacy setting to preclude this from happening?

Hi

[spammy email content redacted]

The columns I want are here— https://www.comcom121.org/deargabby/2014/12/29/gab1/ with no side columns.

I don’t want columns.

Hi WPyogi,

Re: “Where did you get the theme from?” I got it from my WP 4.1 Dashboard menu > Themes. https://www.comcom121.org/deargabby/wp-admin/themes.php

I’m willing to try another free one. What I was/am looking for is a theme that allows three or more columns for the Post and Page entries and, displays well for iphone-type users.

I see now that I need one that’s rather plain vanilla and easy to set up. I don’t plan on having many images. Got suggestion?

Thanks,

Kerry

Hi justbrian,

I tried your suggestion. I’ll let you know if it works consistently.

Your site’s theme is very nice and the floating tabs work perfectly. wp-cumulus is designed for using with WP’s categories, etc. so mine required the special editing because the URLs point to another domain.

Re: “I wonder if a fresh install, activate, then add the widget will give the same results?” Mine is working fine so I don’t want to mess with it. ??

Thanks,

Kerry

Hi JustBrian,

I’m not sure what’s happening but the problem appears to be my Firefox 3.0.11 cache.

When I view the page using FF the changes are not there, even when I press “Reload” or when I shut down FF and restart it. This seems to suggest that FF is caching the page.

When I upload the correction and then view the page using Avant Browser, Opera, iRider, Google Chrome or Apple Safari the changes are there.

Kerry

Hi JustBrian,

Yes, it definitely works with 2.8. See https://www.managercoaching.com/wp

You need to make three script changes to wp=cumulus.php. The changes are posted above.

I’m not sure if I have WP being cached, where do I check that?

My problem I have now stems from changes I make to tagcloud.xml not consistently taking effect once I upload the .xml file to wp/wp-content/plugins/wp-cumulus/ (tagcloud.smf is also supposed to be in the wp-cumulus directory).
