Apologies. I didn’t realise that it was a risk to type the code in this way. If @tobifjellner wants to delete this whole ticket, please go ahead and do so.

Once again: my apologies.

Further to my support request above, I have just discovered that my site has two separate wpclone folders. One of them is (as mentioned above) /wp-content/wpclone-temp and the other is in the uploads folder, /wp-content/uploads/wp-clone. Do I need either of those folders if I no longer have a need for the Clone backups I made some tiome ago?

I managed to delete my account after the second set of instructions, which were different from the first set. So the first set of instructions were not correct.

Making me do it myself clearly did not remove room for error.

If you strive to be better, you would promise to look into what I say are deficiencies in the current approach, rather than pretending that I am wrong.

When my site is live and I can see how wpDiscusz works out, I will come back and re-assess.

Ok, I think I’ve got it now. Many, many thanks.

I hope you will allow me to offer one comment by way of feedback: Until about 10 mins ago, I thought the hooks and filters were limited to this list and this one, which don’t include “generate_copyright”. As a result of your message just above, I have realised that there is a whole other – much bigger – Documentation section here, which includes all sorts of other possibilities which I will now explore. I am possibly not the only person to assume that the two lists were the full list of available hooks and filters.

Thanks again for your help.

I meant to say “… inserting a function of the type

below

…”

Since writing my message above, I have done some more research into your page on “Using Hooks”. If the solution to my “Change 1: Copyright” (above) is going to involve inserting a function of the type, please can you tell me where I should insert that piece of code.

add_action( ‘generate_credits‘,’example_function_name‘ );
function example_function_name() { ?>
Insert your hook contents in here.
<?php }

Many thanks

Many thanks for your offer of help. I am potentially trying to do a lot of things (!), but I’ll start by describing two of them and then explain generally what my goal is.

Change 1: Copyright
I want to edit the copyright message so that, instead of saying “(c) [Year] [Site Title]”, it will say “(c) 2010-[Year] XYZ Ltd”.

If I were allowed to overwrite /inc/structure/footer in the child theme. I would simply edit line 78.

Change 2: Page title
This change is one that I think I have solved for myself (after reading your message above). My pages have a short title that goes into the menu and a longer title that appears at the top of the page. So I can either add the generate_show_title filter to functions.php or comment-out line 36 of content-page. It seems that the theme does allow me to overwrite the content-page file.

Question: Am I right in thinking the theme allows me to overwrite any files at the top level (ie at the same level as the functions.php file), but nothing below that, ie I can’t overwrite anything inside the “inc” or “css” folders?

General aims
I have two websites that were built in 2010 using a theme that hasn’t been updated and isn’t mobile-friendly. The mobile plugins I was using are now obsolete also, so I want to use a modern theme to recreate a mobile-friendly version of the design that I currently have. I am just at the start of the project and I haven’t identified all the changes I will want to make.

Many thanks. That’s helpful to know.

Regards

Many thanks for your response. That was very helpful.

Although this ticket was marked as closed with the conclusion that the app doesn’t have that option, I have in fact found a way to deliver it using the app.

The first step is to get the link for *embedding* the YouTube video, one can mark it with a start time and/or end time, in the following format: “https://www.youtube.com/embed/YouTubeID?start=x&end=y&#8221;.

The second step is to merge that in with the rel attribute “wp-video-lightbox”, as described for plug-in Instructions for an iFrame.

< a href=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/YouTubeID?start=x&end=y?iframe=true ” rel=”wp-video-lightbox[iframes]> < /a >
< a title=”Title” href=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/YouTubeID ” > Insert linked text here < /a >

Many thanks. I look forward to hearing more when the developers have responded.

Thank you, but your example uses a youtube video. My question was about a locally hosted video. When I try the same thing with a locally hosted video, the lightbox opens up and the video plays straightaway.

Yes, that is correct.

The autoplay is disabled in plugin settings.
