Hi Michael, thanks for your reply. How do I upload a screenshot to this thread, I can’t see any button to upload. Thanks Lesley

Thanks for your message. The issue that I have is that on the plugin there is no ‘settings’ option. I only have the option to activate it or deactivate it. Not configure it. What would you suggest? Many thanks

I found a plugin called Allow HTML in Category Descriptions. If I combine that with CategoryTinymce, it seems to work.

Thanks for your help.

thanks for your reply.

1. It is a child theme.
2. It does include a custom CSS feature.
3. Both the category description editor plugins are disabled
4. When I edit the category if I hit the return button, it will take the next sentence of text to the line below (a line break?), but it won’t put a double space in, ie no paragraph.

So for example, with some random text, it looks like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum

The category pages are on the top menu, or in the widget on the bottom right handside.

Currently the category description is at the top of the page. I don’t mind it being at the top as I’ve been informed that it’s best at the top for SEO purposes.

But what I don’t like is that I can’t format it at all. I can’t even add paragraphs.

I did try two plugins eg CategoryTinymce, and that allowed me to justify the text and upload and image, but it still looked pretty terrible.

I’d like to know how to add paragraphs, bullet points, images, etc to make it look a bit less off putting.

Thanks you.

when you say copy up all the files and folders, do you mean copy them from the unzipped download into my file manager on the control panel?

Thank you for that suggestion. I’m quite new to this and I’ve got no idea how to do that.

As I only just started this site this evening do I have to copy files and folders. I haven’t made any changes to the site as yet.

Yes, it does have the default theme on the home page, but I cant make any changes in the dash board

If I type my domain name into google I go to the default homepage of the site.

However, when I click the dashboard tab on the top left hand side, the usual dashboard menu appears on the left hand side, but when I try to click any of the tabs, eg theme, plugins etc, nothing happens, the screen is white empty and blank.

Hi, I just figured out what I was doing wrong. Because I’d downloaded verification code a few times, it had put an (2) after the file name. Once I took that off, it verified.

I’ve just checked and under page title format, it looks like I can change the format of the title, but I can customize the title as such.

For example, it doesn’t look like I can change the title to say something other than the page name.

Hi, thanks for your reply Radices.

I have all in on SEO plugin installed.
If I go to general settings, the update options, I can see how to update / change my home page settings. But I’m not sure what to do under the section called “title settings”.

I have “rewrite titles” enabled, but I’m not sure where I can re-write them, as I have done with the home page settings.

I wonder if you could advise. Many thanks, Lesley

Ok, thanks I will try this later when I get a moment. Thanks for your help. Lesley

Hi Matt. Sorry to be a pest, but I’ve just had a chance to try those codes.

I put this code below in the functions.php

<?php
//Removes masonry from the footer widget area
function remove_masonry() {
wp_dequeue_script( ‘jquery-masonry’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘twentyfourteen_scripts’ );

And this code in the style css

.footer-sidebar .widget {
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Unfortunately the menu is still justified to the left. It does look a little different in that the footer is less deep, i.e. narrower from top to bottom. But that is all. Any other suggestions? Thank you for your help. Lesley

Hi, there was no <?php, at the start of the file, so I added that and then the rest of the code. So this is what it read:

<?php, //Removes masonry from the footer widget area
function remove_masonry() {
wp_dequeue_script( ‘jquery-masonry’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘twentyfourteen_scripts’ );

Before adding the extra code into style.css, I checked to see how the above looked. When I updated, the code itself was visible right at the top of the screen, outside the actual page itself. I tried it with and without the <?php, but the same thing happened. Any advice? Many thanks, Lesley
