Thanks Ryann… I fought with this for several hours today and eventually ended up uninstalling the plugin and using a form available through my email service provider.

Fixed the comment issue too… Just copied page.php into my child theme and removed this line altogether:
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

Comments are now turned off on all static pages, including those using TPG Get Posts.

Yay! That works! Thanks for your help… I really appreciate your responsiveness.

Just for the benefit of anyone else having a similar issue, here’s the code that did the job:
[tpg_get_posts show_meta="false" category_name="Swelling and Water Retention" numberposts=99 show_excerpt="true" show_byline="false"]

I’m also having issues with not being able to get rid of the comments box on the pages using your plugin, but I know there are other threads about that problem, so I’ll see what I can figure out based on what others have said.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Found a workaround for now… I installed Redirection plugin and am just redirecting pages to category archives since those are still working. I’d still rather use this plugin, but until I can find our what’s going on with the categories issue, redirecting seems to be my only workable option.

As an update, I tried deactivating this plugin and installing a similar one… Still having the same issues, so now I’m really confused. It looks like there’s something going on with my category tags in general that’s causing the issue. I really like this plugin, so I’m hoping I can find a way to resolve this issue. Any ideas?

Sorry, I noticed that and edited on my site, but not in time to edit in my last post… It’s now correct on the site (typed and then even copy and pasted from the slug to be extra double sure it’s correct) and it’s still not working. I am 100% certain the problem is not in the category description on my end.

Thanks for getting back to me cswaim… I took out everything extra and shortened my code to this:
[tpg_get_posts category_name="Swelling-and-Water-Retention"]

Still showing everything. I also double checked the spelling from the meta and it looks right to me.

Here’s how the page looks now:

Hooray! That fixed it. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you paulwpxp! That fixed it!

I didn’t realize that was what the second front page widget area was for… Thanks for pointing it out!

I wasn’t kidding when I said I was kind of an idiot when it comes to this stuff… I’m familiar with Firebug, but I’m not someone who can just look at code and see what needs to be changed. I’m an acupuncturist, not a web designer… That’s why I’m posting here for help ??

Thanks Esmi, I’m aware that I shouldn’t edit my parent theme… I was hoping to be able to solve this stuff either through the basic site editing tools or by using Jetpack. If I have to create a child theme I will, but I don’t want to do that until I know that’s the only way to solve these issues.

Any ideas on what I would need to change if I did decide to create a child theme?
