    Never mind, figured it out.

    And, if other users had a question about how to configure the different gallery types to look like this or that, yes, it would relate to them.

    The answer is: it’s buried in their configuration options. Their user manual is a walkthrough of their plugin screen rather than how to use that plugin to achieve certain effects, so you’ll have to spend hours and hours just changing this and that option, reloading a test page, and seeing if that particular combination does what you want it to do.

    Hi Peter,

    Our site is behind a firewall (it’s still in dev, so I can’t even point you at the live instance of it), so I can’t give you a URL.

    https://wordpress.cynicsteaparty.com is showing the same behavior I described, though. (That’s an instance I set up myself, to use as a personal sandbox.) The menu items in that site are:

    top level
    |_child item
    |__|_second child level
    another topper

    When viewing the site at “desktop” width in the browser, you can see Top Level and Another Topper in the menu bar. You can even see the first-level dropdown “Child Item”. You cannot see the “second child level” item. It isn’t even showing up in the code when I view the source. Menu depth is set to “5” Auto-expand parent items” and “Auto-expand sub-menus” are both checked.

    When the site is at full desktop width, the “2nd child level” does not show. When the browser is resized to force the menu into “responsive” mode, the “secondnd child level” DOES show up…in the flyout panel.

    Here is a link to my video gallery page:
    https://wordpress.cynicsteaparty.com/?page_id=12

    I have additional questions about that. I created a second video gallery, and put it first on the page. The intent is to have one smaller gallery of “new” items, followed by the larger, paginated video gallery. The top video gallery appears differently than the first, though, and I don’t know how to change the settings for it. I want it to look and act just like the bottom (first) video gallery. How can I get the top video gallery displaying exactly like the bottom video gallery?

    Hello,

    The link opens fine for me and everyone on my team:

    https://wordpress.cynicsteaparty.com

    (I would attach a screenshot if I could.)

    I am seeing the plugin in my sidebar, but as a flat gallery. I want to create a video carousel in the sidebar. How do I do that?

    I am also having a syncing problem. I inherited this site from previous contractors, and so am not aware of the site’s history – but I do know that we are using the Disqus comment system plugin, and that syncing stopped on September 24th. The only change I’ve made to the site settings since I got here was in the WordPress admin console, when I unchecked the WP setting to close comments after 14 days.

    We found why the Disqus comments stopped showing – the previous folks had checked the WordPress box disallowing comments after 14 days rather than changing the settings in Disqus itself – but we’re still not sure why the automatic syncing also stopped on that day.

    For anyone else coming to look for the solution:
    If you have the Disqus plugin installed, do not use the in-dash WordPress settings to control how long comments may remain open. Use the Disqus-native admin settings for that.

    In WordPress, go to
    Dashboard > Settings > Discussion
    Look under Other Comment Settings
    Make sure to UNCHECK the option
    “Automatically close comments on articles older than ___ days.”

    Then your Disqus comments will display on all your WP articles.
