Hi alchymyth~~

Sorry for the delayed response, but I didn’t get a notification of your response. Is a “browser inspection tool” something like hitting Control + f, to search for words?

I also didn’t really understand this paragraph…
for instance, the #sidebar gets set to 100%, and the float gets changed to float: left; – where is impossible to tell with the styles of the site minified.
make sure to overwrite that with your edits after all other stylesheets are loaded.

Thanks,

Steve

The site is still up, so I will close this thread. Thanks again! Steve

Oh…the site address is https://www.equinoxpdx.com

Stephen,

I guess my wording was inexact…the line that I changed was on the php section of the … well, something I did worked, because the site is back up and running. Thanks to you guys! I did set up a Filezilla FTP account, so now I have to figure out how to use it!

Thanks very much for bearing with me, and for your help resolving this issue! I won’t note that it is resolved until later today, just to be safe.

Best,

Steve

ps-I hope I get such great help in the future!!

Stephen,

For good measure, and because I hadn’t done it when you recommended, I added an apostrophe after middot. Just put it on pastebin, at https://pastebin.com/Bmg73dpM.

Thanks,
Steve

Tom,

I didn’t see your post before I sent my last. Good explanation! Will try that, but I seem to have issues with Filezilla not liking my old Powerbook G4, which runs OSX 10.5.8.

It seems I was able to change the custom.php file to remove the ( ), but had to change the name of the new custom.php.html file to CSS.php, and move the old one to another folder. This left the Prose folder with four folders: custom.css, custom.php, minified.css, and settings.css.

How do I determine if that helped, or is there no chance it did?

Thanks,

Steve

EMG,
If you are still around, sorry for my lamebrain interpretation of your post yesterday…misread the “( and )” and saying I couldn’t find “(web)”, when it’s in my business name…bug duh, huh?!

Back to Steve’s rec…I have talked with the hosting company and got into the backend…/eqwp/wp-content/uploads/prose/custom.php, which reads…

1 <?php
2 /** Do not remove this line. Edit functions below. */
3 /** Customize the credits */
4 add_filter(‘genesis_footer_creds_text’, ‘custom_footer_creds_text’);
5 function custom_footer_creds_text() {
6 echo ‘<div class=”creds”><p>’;
7 echo ‘Copyright © ‘;
8 echo date(‘Y’);
9 echo ‘·
10 echo ‘Marketing By (Web)Design</p></div>’;
11 /** Customize the entire footer */
12 remove_action( ‘genesis_footer’, ‘genesis_do_footer’ );
13 add_action( ‘genesis_footer’, ‘child_do_footer’ );
14 function child_do_footer() {
15 ?>
16 <p>© Copyright 2014 Equinox Acupuncture & Massage · All Rights Reserved</p>
17 <?php
18 }
19
20 /** Remove Header */
21 remove_action( ‘genesis_header’, ‘genesis_do_header’ );
22 }

Can I go in there, remove the ( ) from the word “web”,save and then all will be back to normal? Didn’t sound like that was likely, per EMG.

Thanks again, and again!!

Steve

Hey Stephen,
I was brought on to maintain/manage the site about 3 months ago, and I am more of a wordpress.com sort of guy, though I am working on 2 wp.org sites. Thus, editing was all within the WP editor functions. If you look at my earlier posts, you’ll see the first major issue I had with this Equinox site…a disappearing sidebar that I couldn’t fix. I really don’t know jack about this parent/child theme business, but I get the concept…just don’t know how to do anything productive on the site.

Can’t even pull up the site, due to this php meltdown, so there is no editing necessary. I do have an XML file from a few months ago…only minor changes since then. Just tried to get to the site dashboard, and am not able to, due to this php issue…got this, when I tried any avenue to get to the wordpress end…
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘href’ (T_STRING), expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /homepages/39/d353228821/htdocs/eqwp/wp-content/uploads/prose/custom.php on line 10

So, since I cannot get to the CSS screen, I guess I have to do the FTP route, though I have little idea how. Should I just call the hosting company and see if they can lead me through the FTP reinstall?

Thanks,

Steve

EMG and Steve,

Thanks for the great info! I am having difficulty with the Hosting company, but when I get to the FTP file, what am I going to do? Should I copy the Custom CSS and the bulk of the Custom Functions section, and put it wherever it seems right?? I just anticipate totally screwing the site, but it’s pretty much screwed right now (though I haven’t tried your other recs). Just put in Steve’s rec and got this…

“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘href’ (T_STRING), expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /homepages/39/d353228821/htdocs/eqwp/wp-content/uploads/prose/custom.php on line 10,

but cannot make sense of yours, re removing “( and )” from the word “web”, because I can’t find “(web)” in either CSS section. Steve’s rec yielded the same error/parse message.

I really appreciate the coding expertise you all have and that I aspire to, so any recs on where I should be reading/learning, in addition to helping me get this site back online, will be greatly appreciated!

Best,

Steve Keller

Cool…thanks for the education re pastebin!

Thanks so much!

Steve

I have never used the FTP function, and I assume that I could find that on the hosting company’s site?? Why do I have to reinstall, if I got the CSS back from the Reset deletion?

I will check out the FTP route, but I hope someone has an easier recommendation.

Thanks,

Steve

Would someone please look at the Astroclosets.com site and advise what I can do to get rid of the “B” floating on the menu bar?

Thanks,
Steve

It’s fixed, so I will try to take this down.

The two wordpress.com sites are working fine, and since the problem is not on a wordpress.com site, I have not used those forums. I will try Studio Press.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve
