Thank you Opajaap… I installed lightbox 3 and everything’s working again.
This is the URL where I have installed the slide-show: https://gregernstmusic.com/photos/
I am also using it here: https://www.usmobi.net/examples/textured.Norman
I just did a fresh install with 4.4.4 and the light-box isn’t working for me at all.
It has also stopped working on an existing site which i just updated to 4.4.4.
And it doesn’t work when viewing from a mobile phone either…. it was working before, though the pop-up light-box was always too big for my i-phone screen.
I’ve had to set the %%size=300%%…. Any more than this then I get three columns of thumbnails which extend beyond the i-phone screen extremity. At 300 I get two two columns. Unfortunately it makes the slideshow display smaller than I’d like on a normal computer display, but the reason I’m using WPPA Plus is because generally it works better on mobile devices than other slide show plug-ins that I’ve tried… These days I think it is important to have a website which works well on a mobile device as these are becoming more popular than computers for internet access.Thanks for your help.

In reply to: altering the main menuI probably meant mouse-over for showing the menu “buried head blog”, but that was a couple of weeks ago, and my brain is now fried.
I’m doing the same stuff to a different website now and thought I’d check back to see if you had responded to my logo pic question, which in fact you have… so….
Once again Alchymyth… Many thanks for all your help.
Ciao,

In reply to: altering the main menuBrilliant… thanks again for your help.
I’ve had to modify the files slightly – including full URL paths in links, stopping the blog page (when clicking BLOG in the menu) from re-opening in a new window (thanks to your previous advice I knew what to do), and I also modified the CSS so that the menu item “BLOG” would not change colour on mouse-over.
I have still to find how to put the logo (doll) picture to the left of the title in the header plus add a bit of padding to bring it inline with the main index page, and I’d also like to know how to make the menu tab read “buried head blog” The menu also needs a bit of padding to move it to the right slightly.
But unless you are totally bored, I should be able to work that out, which at the same time is making me more familiar with CSS, PHP and HTML.
Caio.

In reply to: how do I insert an affiliate advertisement?Of course… It’s making more sense now. Thank you.
I’ll do some php study.In the meantime, if you have time, maybe you could have a look at my other query here regarding main menu links.
…but if you are busy then don’t worry, your help has been much appreciated.

In reply to: altering the main menuI would like to edit the menu on my blog site Buried Head to replicate the menu on my main site index page Buried Head. In particular I would like the menu item “HOME” to point to the main index page rather than the blog page as it does now, and I would also like to add menu items to point to the various main site pages. The main site uses the same style template as the blog site, though it is not part of the wordpress installation, but is constructed using it’s own html and css, though of course it is located on the same server as the blog.
Is there an easy way of achieving this or do I have to edit the php of the wordpress blog? If I have to edit php, where are the references to the menu items located? I have looked at all the php but cannot see any obvious references. I do not understand php.
And, is it easy to insert a logo to the left of the blog site main title? On the main site index page I have a (logo) picture of a doll with it’s head buried in the earth, and I would like to be able to add that logo to the top of the wordpress blog page. If you click on my links above then you’ll see what I mean.
Any clues would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Norman Austin

In reply to: how do I insert an affiliate advertisement?Thank you so much.
I’ve done exactly as you said and it works great.Is there something simple that I can add to make the link open in a new window?

In reply to: how do I insert an affiliate advertisement?I’m using the free css template’s “embouteillage” template on my band’s blog page, Buried Head.
Within that template is a 160×600 advert panel that I wish to insert an affiliate linked banner advertisement.
The html code link for the affiliate banner is:<img border=”0″ src=”https://www.addnewfriends.com/affiliate/banners/160×600.jpg” width=”160″ height=”600″>
I see that in the header php there is a reference to the advert panel as follows:
<!– start page –>
<div id=”page”><!– You can use the Text Widget to add content in –>
<!– this column (e.g. HTML codes for your banner.) –>
<div id=”adbar”>* <?php if (!function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘Adbar’)): ?> <img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/images/ad160x600.gif” alt=”” width=”160″ height=”600″ />
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
Can someone tell me what I need to put where within this php code please? I have no knowledge of php.
Though the reference to the advert panel is within the header.php, the panel appears to be on the right of the sidebar on the page.I have used the same template for the main Buried Head index page, though that uses html and css and I have therefore been able to insert a similar banner link successfully there using dreamweaver.
But php has me totally confused.Thanks,
