Thanks again, Bill. I deactivated most of my plugins and functionality improved a bit, but strangely the site continues to render and the glass magnifier works on my iPhone but not iPad. And it’s fine on a laptop.

I have also edited the site so that there is another way of navigating via jump pages when the secondary drop down menus don’t appear, so for now the site works for all comers even if it’s not optimal.

I also had a good look at alternative themes – not much success but while doing so I noticed that Twenty Ten is still the number one WordPress theme. This doesn’t surprise me as all the others I look at are too dark, cluttered. folksy whereas Twenty Ten is uniquely clean and straightforward.

Thanks, Bill, very helpful – and I understood every word!

I thought that themes were updated but I understand that may be true for some but not all. I go into my site admin at least once a week and always update everything that is notified.

Trouble is, I love the Twenty Ten theme, even if it is used my so many people. It’s just so clear and I fussy – it really lends itself to my needs and I haven’t seen anything that works as well. From your greater experience, have you come across a similarly-clear theme that is also more up to date and mobile-friendly?

I also use Twenty Ten for my much smaller personal website, which is much more stable. I use far fewer plugins on that, so before taking more drastic steps, I may deactivate and delete any surplus widgets and see if it helps stabilise things.

Any more thoughts very welcome, but thanks once again for your response, appreciated.

Thanks, but sorry, this is already way, way beyond me.

If I follow the link you sent me, the first instruction is : “Login to your site via FTP and download your active theme’s functions.php file”. I’m lost already and I haven’t started.

Is there anybody out there I can get to help me walk me through what I need to do in english? It’s a harmless little site whose sole aim is to promote a functions/covers band in London. There’s nothing sensitive on it so security isn’t an issue.

Thank you both, and glad to have been able to kick off a bout of mutual masturbation between you.

I was clear in my post that I am a beginner, so neither of your posts were of any help whatsoever, probably because they went straight over my head.

Fortunately, but no thanks to you, I found a friend of a friend who is more advanced in WordPress was able to help me out.

Not sure I’ll be visiting the WordPress forum again in a hurry, unless it’s to share a wank of course! Signing off now.

Thank you Emil, kind of you to reply but please see my para 1.

After some struggle and no thanks to WordPress’ documentation, I located my style sheet, and I think I have found the piece of code you refer to.

So what to do I do now?

Also, my main problem is as much with the template’s having started to impose the Georgia font as with the type size.

Further ideas, please?

Thanks
