In reply to: Little RSS buttons missing from sidebar ..and nothing elsethe icon url is https://johntedwards.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/freshy-10/images/icons/feed-icon-10×10.gif but there is no image file at that location.
You seem to have one theme indicated in the head section of your blog, and another in the sidebar. One is freshy, and the other is freshy-10. They should be the same.
But even then, I don’t see an icon at what I think is the proper location either.
Do you have mismatched info in your wordpress admin area under Options? Check those values.
Also, check to make sure the feed-icon-10×10.gif is actually where it should be.

In reply to: Alternative to password-protection for light security?that looks like it would function.
that should also block the google’s of the net from indexing the site actually
your welcome!
glad you’re sorted. heed the advice about validating your code. each browser will do different goofy things when it tries to guess what should really happen.

In reply to: php code inside `<style></style>` definitionscan you provide a link to your site?
I recommend you not use img for an ID, just because it’s an html tag.
assuming that file.png is in the theme’s dir, try this:
<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
<style type="text/css">
div#testid { background-image: url(<?php blogurl'template_url'); ?>/file.png); color: orange; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="testid">some text here
</div>
</body>ok, I see what you mean. I think it’s just not reading the extra margin properly for whatever reason (could be invalid code). I think it will follow the content, and be like this no matter how long the list is.
For the moment, I recommend you just add this to the bottom of layout.css (and note that I’ve only tested it at the bottom, it may not work if you put it sooner).
div#information {padding-bottom: 10px;
}But I’m also going to recommend you validate both your html and the css. The reason it’s hanging over the bottom of the background for that information section could likely be due to a little bit of messed up code. It’s easy to not close a div right and other such things.
This link will show you the errors and where they are on the generated page. https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.refreshingideas.net%2FWP%2F
And after that checks out, you may also wish to validate the css. https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.refreshingideas.net%2FWP%2F&usermedium=all
i edited my post to request more explanation. i bet you missed that. if you ‘splain what you mean a little more, I’m sure I can help.
you can add a margin to that bit of css. like this
div.one-image img {
float: left;
margin: 5px;
}adjust the 5px to whatever you want. note that 5 px on each side of an image means 10 px gap between, in case it seems like a larger gap than you expect.
not sure what you mean by ‘coming down further’. i’m sure it’s just a bit more css to get what you want, if I better knew what that was.
glad you’re sorted out. you can mark this one as resolve I guess.
one way you could do it is to add the following to the bottom of your css file. I guess layout.css in this case.
div.one-image img {
float: left;

In reply to: php code inside `<style></style>` definitionsPut the full uri to the image. as in, start with h ttp://domain.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/screenshot.png
also, I recommend you use bloginfo(‘template_url’) to get the url to your theme, and then add screenshot.png to that. oh, and most people will put images inside an image dir in the theme, but that’s not going to bork if you don’t.

In reply to: Alternative to password-protection for light security?ok, here’s a dumb suggestion. put up a page of links. sally & bob, jane & joe, grizelda and gilgamesh, etc. click the wrong link, you go to google.com or sesamestreet or whatever. click the right one (the couple’s names), you go to the blog. combine that with a robot.txt file to stop the indexing, and you’ve it sort of hidden from casual surfers. you could also make that popup lists if you prefer.
there is a conflict between wanting some privacy, but not authenticating viewers. I think doing something unusual for this will actually be more difficult for the novice users that you’re concerned about. because it’s so common to have to enter a user/pass on the net, i really believe this will be better understood than an unconventional method. I design websites for a living (I bet a few of us can be confused of that!), and based on my experience with many computer phobic folks (many of my customers), a standard password system is easily understood by all of them. I’m just offering that as food for thought. I’m suggesting that your efforts to make it easier may have the opposite effect if you’re not careful.

In reply to: Alternative to password-protection for light security?I recommend you set up a simple .htaccess password system. Just put a message that says to use bride for username and groom for password or something like that. You won’t need to touch the wordpress files that way
So, keep your wordpress in it’s own directory, it will make this sooo much easier.
For the main page on your site, put a link to visit the wordpress blog, and a message that they will need to use the first names of the bride for user and groom for password.
now put a file (or add to the one that’s there) called .htaccess and put this in it.
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName FRIENDS
AuthType Basic<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>then create a file called .htpasswd in the wordpress dir and put this in it:
bride:342jkhl34kjh
Substitute bride for the actual brides name, keep the colon, and substitute 342jkhl34kjh for the groom’s name converted to md5. You can use https://www.osempire.com/md5 to enter the groom’s name and get the proper encrypted version.
If the above has been done correctly, when they go to visit the site, a box will open up for their user and password. Their own browser settings will determine if the user/pass is remembered when they come back next time.

In reply to: Plugin: wp-leftycatsi think the plugin form is the right way. I don’t believe a person should ever modify core files, unless they have the skill to do it themselves. the plugin is mucho useful, a great contribution to the community.

In reply to: Plugin: wp-leftycatsgee, I tried doing exactly the same thing, but it wasn’t working for some reason. at least I see now that it’s how I thought. I must have had a typo or something.
