CSS changes in the parent wernt working. Probably because it generates those 3 lines of code even though I don’t have a background image set, and they were preventing y desired CSS changes from working.

Which is why I went to modifying header.php to get my desired changes. E.G.:

<style type="text/css">
body.custom-background {
background: #a359a5; /* Old browsers */

background-image: url('https://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hbg_purple41.png'), -moz-linear-gradient(top,  #a359a5 0%, #ffffff 16%, #000000 17%, #000000 18%, #ffffff 19%, #a359a5 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background-image: url('https://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hbg_purple41.png'), -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#a359a5), color-stop(16%,#ffffff), color-stop(17%,#000000), color-stop(18%,#000000), color-stop(19%,#ffffff), color-stop(100%,#a359a5)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background-image: url('https://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hbg_purple41.png'), -webkit-linear-gradient(top,  #a359a5 0%,#ffffff 16%,#000000 17%,#000000 18%,#ffffff 19%,#a359a5 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background-image: url('https://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hbg_purple41.png'), -o-linear-gradient(top,  #a359a5 0%,#ffffff 16%,#000000 17%,#000000 18%,#ffffff 19%,#a359a5 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background-image: url('https://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hbg_purple41.png'), -ms-linear-gradient(top,  #a359a5 0%,#ffffff 16%,#000000 17%,#000000 18%,#ffffff 19%,#a359a5 100%); /* IE10+ */
background-image: url('https://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hbg_purple41.png'), linear-gradient(to bottom,  #a359a5 0%,#ffffff 16%,#000000 17%,#000000 18%,#ffffff 19%,#a359a5 100%); /* W3C */
background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: top left; background-attachment: fixed;

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#a359a5', endColorstr='#a359a5',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */

}
</style>

Oh, and before anyone asks…

In both TwentyTwelve and my child, I currently have the Background Image set to No Image. However, once upon a time, TwentyTwelve did have a Background Image set to an image. So I suspect a setting somewhere gets toggled that generates those missing 3 lines of code from then until the cows come home.

I’ll do some more tinkering with the child after lunch, and get back to you…

Okie dokie. I did some more research using Araxis Merge to compare rendered output. Keeping it as short as possible…

When I add my code to the parent header.php, I get the following output in the rendered page:

<style type="text/css" id="custom-background-css">
body.custom-background { background-color: #e6e6e6; }
</style>
<style type="text/css">
body.custom-background {
... my code goes here ...
}
</style>
</head>

When I reset the parent to its normal header.php, and move my changes to the child header.php, this is what gets output in the rendered page:

<style type="text/css">
body.custom-background {
... my code goes here ...
}
</style>
</head>

So, I copied the missing 3 lines of code rendered by the parent when my changes are in the parent header.php, into my child’s header.php, reset the parent header.php to the original copy and voila! It works!

Shouldn’t be that way. But, that’s the way it is. And Bob’s your uncle!

Which is, if you read my first post again, exactly what I did. And it doesn’t work!

Basically… If I move it back to the parent, make the parent active, it works. If I move it back to the child, it doesn’t work.

Which is the problem.

SetheDeBlade: Perhaps you could add an option to reduce the spider data in the database but to keep the “real” visitors to keep the totalvisits count.

ice00: Yes, I can add such features ??

Me: Or better still, delete all the old visitor and/or spider data on request, and just keep the counts for each. Less old data to lug around, historic counts maintained.

Great(!!!) plugin, by the way. Thank you!

Well! That didn’t take long(tail)!

As soon as I installed and activated the Magazine Basic theme By c.bavota, Version 3.0.2 – JW Player broke!

Switching back-and-forth between the Twenty Eleven and Magazine Basic themes, JW Playlist works / doesn’t work, respectively.

Houston, we have a culprit!

Dang! Amazing that you re-re-re-read your post, and don’t catch your mistake until just after clicking the Post button. That should say “Let it be said, it was NOT (repeat, NOT) the JW Player’s fault!!!”

UPDATE:

1. After your assistance, attempted to fix the issue with media not showing-up in the Insert Media from Server panel. After 2 hours of fiddling, no luck. Broke-out the old Ford tools.
2. Dropped all tables, deleted all WP directories.
3. Reinstalled WP 3.5.2. Reinstalled JW Player 6.

Works like a champ!

No idea what might have been mis-configured, and being a test site, it wasn’t worth running the problem down. Let it be said, it was the JW Player’s fault. I will be reinstalling the other components we were testing; after installing each, we will test JW Player. IF JW Player breaks… will let you know who (what) broke it!

Thank you for your help. Greatly appreciate your assistance!
