here is a visual of what i’d like to do.

perhaps the image helps to clarify my intention. basically i want to drop the email and subject input boxes and I want to know if this presents any issues.

please let me know if my question is not clear enough.

After creating your slider in the Soliloquy section, go to Dashboard / Appearance / Theme options. There you will find a section called ‘Homepage Soliloquy Slider’. You can select your slider there.

actually i may have spoke to soon. the plug-in ‘Simple Page Sidebars’ displays a map as mentioned. That map is provided by the ‘Google Maps Widget’. when i deactivate the ‘Google Maps Widget’ plug-in my pages edit content section works and when i activate, it stops working.

so i’ll let google know. i hope they can find someone to fix it sometime soon!

it seems to be the pug-in mentioned… ‘Simple Page Sidebars’. firstly, i can deactivate and enable the plug-in and the problem is re-created each time it’s active. really weird tho how it just suddenly started after having had this plug-in for some time and having made about 30 edits to the page today before the problem arose.

secondly, when i do reactivate the plug-in my sidebar settings are re-instated [and so the map appears in the sidebar].

so it’s resolved but i need the plug-in. besides only activating it after all edits are complete, what else can i do? forward this topic to the plug-in creator i guess?

if i deactivate a plugin and then reactivate it later or alternatively change the theme to the default, will i loose settings that i have made in plugin option or theme options?

eg. on my contact page i have changed the sidebar so that it displays a google map so if i deactivate the plugin ‘Simple Page Sidebars’ then my sidebar will change to default. if i reactivate the plugin, will i see exactly the same sidebar with the map or will it remain on default?

my concern is that all my fine tuning of my site will be lost. eg. i changed my link colours throughout the site. whilst they are minor changes, they add up to a fair bit of time to re-instate. especially for those of us who don’t use wordpress a lot.

word count and revisions info also disappears however it shows the last edited info correctly.

visual edit tools have also disappeared.

Thanks so much kjodle,
i’ve successfully installed in 2012 and will install in 2013 when i’m ready to begin that one. thank you so much. thanks also for Morten’s course on wp at lynda.com which will get any beginners up and running.
regards, Graham.

thanks!
whilst it could be better written i think i can figure it out once the site admin gives me the correct ftp details. will advise.

ok, thanks for taking the time to reply!

I’m new too and not too impressed with the forum response currently!
i see you are lacking in that department too so i’ll try to help.
one place you could look is wordpress.tv

no responses… hmm… is this a question better directed at the theme developer?
