OK, I see that the floating factor in the layout has some control over the order. Once the excerpts were of equal size, the order was correct.

Thank you for the reply!

The problem turned out to be something that the WordPress core compensates for, but the plugin doesn’t. Here is a writeup about it.

For some reason, this forum software will not allow me to post the whole block of code.

Thank you for the reply!

Let me see if I understand you correctly:

Smushed = reduced file size
Resized = reduced image size in the size it appears on the screen

Is that correct?

Great work! I had to post about it on Facebook! One of my recipe book clients just celebrated his 80th birthday. We spent an hour yesterday going through it. He loves it!

Thank you so much for your answer!

The clue here lies with Google. Apparently, Google just LOVES your original plugin, and that’s what it’s showing in the SERPs. Nice to be loved, but …

Will try the other plugin!

That did the trick!

But, it is quite strange that larger would make the images more clear. Could you explain this?

They are very glad for the update! Everything is back working. Thanks for your help!

That’s great! I loaded that version, and it’s not crashing the site. I have emailed the client and will provide an update when they have had a chance to review it!

At this time, the problem only seems to affect new installs. Today, I received an inquiry from another client who is also doing a new install. But, two old installs are unaffected.

Thanks for the information! I will check with my client.

I think you are on the right track. It may be that it doesn’t work with any custom post type, whatever the plugin or custom code that created it.

In one of my tests, I added the default WordPress Search widget to a sidebar and it added the social media icons to that widget as well. So, I’m wondering whether it’s messing with the other database records, as well. Unfortunately, I did not take a screenshot of that test.

The fix we came up with before your last posts was
Site 1: Go to Appearance -> Customize -> Post -> Social and chose Hide in the dropdown and check the Hide share buttons on static pages.

Site 2: The action in Site 1 stopped the social media buttons from appearing, but the Content Blocks were broken. I hardcoded the content into the template files. In a few minutes, I have a meeting with my client to show her how to go into the template files if she needs to make changes. This is not a possibility with many clients, but she is fearless.

Well, this is quite frustrating. One of the sites has the ability to add a widget to any sidebar completely disabled. The sidebars are visible in the dashboard. The widgets are visible in the dashboard, but the save function just doesn’t work.
