Yes this is super annoying!!! I’ll check out the other plugin – I hope it works….

Anyone? I’d like to change both the title of the widget (Twitter username) and the Tweets below it to white instead of the default black. Help, please? Thank you.

I’ve never looked at it before like this, so I’m not sure. But it’s working now. I had a contractor from Fiverr working on some layout prior to this snafu and he was able to fix it. I’m waiting to hear back from him what it was that did the trick, because I sure couldn’t figure it out. If I find out, I’ll be sure to post here.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Here it is

Ok I tried disabling the plugin, but no changes.

It turns that I can view the slug on the Pages screen if I hit ‘Quick Edit’ and the current slug is indeed ‘home’ (no quotes). But if I go to the individual page itself, there’s no option for me to input a slug. It’s as if it’s hardcoded to root domain “https://bigrockinvestments.com” .

So if there current slug is really ‘home’, then I wonder why the function is not being invoked…

Ok, I’m starting to follow you now. So one of my pages should already have a slug of ‘home’? I just looked at them all and none of them do. The only potential page that would serve as this is the aptly titled “Welcome to Big Rock Investments” page. However, this page has no slug and does not have the Edit button for me to enter one. It’s as if it’s “non-sluggable”. The only button next to the permalink of https://BigRockInvestments.com/ is “View Page”.

And so I’m saying the right things, I did not change the actual WordPress page title field, I changed the page title in the All-In-One plugin section below the text body of the page which serves to overwrite the default WordPress page title. Hope this makes sense.

Btw, thanks so much for helping me through this.

The word ‘home’ is mentioned ten times, but here’s the only section that contains the full string “_the_home_page”

if(!function_exists('the_home_page')){
	function the_home_page(){
		if(the_slug() == 'home'){
			return true;
		}else{
			return false;
		}

	}

Not likely since I burned that bridge after their refusal to complete the job.

I found the following code for my page.php. It looks like the top has a condition to see if the page is the homepage… is this the key?

<div id="bg2">
<div id="wraper2">
  <div id="leftside">
<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="Content">
<div class="padright2">
<?php if(the_home_page()){?>
	<div class="video"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/video.jpg" alt="Vidoe" /></div>
<?php } ?>

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

This is a custom theme developed for me by some VAs. I wish it was a cookie-cutter theme – I agree that would make it easier to debug. But what gets me is that it was fine last night and the only thing I’ve since changed is some page titles in the All-In-One plugin for SEO purposes. That’s it. Now I’m left wondering how in the world another setting somewhere or a PHP/CSS file got changed. I’ve no clue.

Thanks, but unfortunately that didn’t work. I have only two options in the Template field: Default Template and Blog. It is now Default Template; blog converts it all to just plain text. Neither has the original layout of YouTube video and two columns.

Is it not in a CSS or PHP somewhere to use homepage.php as the layout for the homepage?

That’s what it is set to now. It’s set to an individual page. What I’m looking for is the original layout which — it appears to me — is coded in homepage.php.

So before today, the homepage had a welcome YouTube video (where the fake video splash graphic is now). There were also two columns of text below the video. In the left column was the content of the welcome page (“Welcome to Big Rock Investments”); in the second column was other text content.

Now that’s all been wiped out and replaced by a plain vanilla layout that calls the Welcome page.

So that setting is somewhere else. Somewhere it should be calling homepage.php for the homepage layout. If I look inside homepage.php, I see coding for the specific YouTube video among all the other code.

Ok, so instead of trying to mess with CSS and figure out what my site developers did, I installed the Google Web Fonts plugin. After some testing, I think I’ve decided on the Droid Sand font. How does it look? Any easier on the eyes?

Footer: I’m looking into the Cufon stuff…

Thanks, guys. I’ve played with some changes but unfortunately it’s messing up elements elsewhere. I’ll have to figure out how to change just the blog posts and leave the text elsewhere alone. My other thought is to somehow find a way to have the text on a white box of some sort, like a white background that sits just behind the blog text but doesn’t interfere with the rest of the site (i.e. it conforms to the length of each blog post).

Thanks a lot for the work on this, Tim. Would you mind leading me to the right php and lines for me to look at these changes? I thought I had it, but the changes I made had no effect. Thank you.

Can anyone help me with this easy task? Thank you.
