I'm looking for a plugin that provides specified page widget control. I found "Display Widgets" and "Dynamic Widgets".

Anyone have any insight on these? Which is best?

I don't use these YET, but the only one I've heard of is Widget Logic. Good Luck, Jeannie!

Thanks for your feedback. Cheers.

I looked up widget logic in word press. It says it is untested on version 4.0. I'm finding this a lot on plug-ins. I've also seen a lot of quirky problems in discussions since the new upgrade. Makes me wonder about compatability.

As a side issue, I found the same disclaimer on the SI Captcha plug-in that is installed on everyone's website initially. I found this when troubleshooting why my captcha would not display automatically.

Right now I'm real cautious about installing plug-ins with that disclaimer attached.

Yes, I see many plugins with that warning on them, in fact most of them now. It's why I asked the questions really. I also didn't want something to jam up my site. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers.

Another vote for widget logic.

Ok great! :-) Thanks for your feedback. Cheers.

I agree, widget logic works well and is simple to use.

Well, that one sounds like a good one then. Sweet. :-) Thanks for the feedback. Enjoy the rest of your night. Cheers.

I use Widget Logic, it's pretty easy (or I couldn't use it)

LOL, I know right? Same here. I hadn't heard of that one, thanks for mentioning it. You haven't noticed any adverse goings-on with your site since using it? I mean, I know some plugins do tend to constipate things. ;-)

Not that I can tell, or attribute to that plugin

Ok, very cool. Thanks for letting me know. Enjoy the rest of your night. Cheers.

I can login into one of my sites, but the other is telling me I don't have permissions to access the Dashboard or view drafts. Huh?!

Anyone else having issues?

Than

Thanks everyone for responding. Problem fixed.

It was linking issues and the fact that WordPress was trying to log me in under someone I am not. :- / When I checked this A.M., I was able to at least get in there and then fixed the linking. I know right? Go figure. :-)

Best regards.

Mine is just fine. Contact tech support. Kim

Just tried both of mine and they are fine. I've seen others post about this on occasion, though. Hope you're back in now, Jeannie. Maybe it's just a glitch.

I had a night last week that I couldn't get into my dashboard. I don't know if it was my internet or not but I used it as an excuse to get to bed early :) I hope it fixes for you soon. If not, I'd submit a ticket.

I have not had any issues.

I cannot reply or send from my domain Atmail account. It keeps trying to connect when I send, but is unable to. I am receiving fine, it seems no issues there. Any suggestions

I have just fixed a big issue with atmail. My advice is: always open a support ticket when you're facing any technical problem. They really help and do it very fast :)

I'm not a big fan of IE. I recently got my 11-year old son a laptop for his birthday and had to upload Chrome for him. He was getting really frustrated trying to do anything on IE. He's much happier using Chrome. I've got a Mac and use Safari with no problems.

Thanks for responding to my question. I never used IE at all. Now I use it sometimes. Other times I use Chrome or Firefox, it just depends on what's going on. So, I should've known that may be an issue. :- /

Browsers are so testy! ;-) Cheers.

Sending and receiving e-mail requires two different protocols. To receive mail, all you need set-up is POP3, (Think of it as Post Office Protocol) To send mail, you need SMPT which first started over 30 years ago and is Simple Message Transport Protocol and requires strict permissions and security to send mail.
Check that the settings for encrypted login are correct and that the mail server address is correct. Some mail servers require encrypted login, while others don't. If you just have a "Click and set" mail client, then it might be using the wrong information in the mail set-up. Check it against the settings for atmail and try again, otherwise you might have to use a different client to send mail.

Thanks for responding to my question here. I tried to go into settings but there just wasn't an option for setting SMTP.

I contacted Tech Support and it was as simple as switching browsers for me. :- /

I was using IE, and under their instruction, switched browsers. I thought I would try Chrome. My messages sent immediately.
Go figure.

Cheers. :-)

I think I face the problem too: Each email sent from my atmail account is delivered, but I receive none (tried five different accounts - my own and from my friends. How did you fix the problem? (I use Chrome, IE and Firefox).

I get mail but as u said unable to connect to send

Thanks for responding to my question here.

Thought I would ask this even though I know they may be totally unrelated.

Is SEO for images still as important as it was before Google nixed Authorship?

Good answer from John

Thanks so much for your response and answer. Cheers

Yes they are
John

Thanks so much for your response and answer. Cheers.

Yes and both are really unrelated.

Thank you so much for your answer and for responding. Cheers.

YES! Very important.

Thank you so much for your response and answer to my question. Cheers.

Yes as pictures are ranked as are all things you post. The easier you make it for Google to categorise them the better they do.

Thank you so much for responding to my post and for your answer. Cheers.

Twenty Twelve is one of the more basic themes. Clean and simple I like. However, it is making me crazy for a minute. My Questions:

Is it possible to change body text color

Does anyone know how to add a comment box to this theme?

Go to all Posts, select Quick edit for the post you want to add a comment to, enable the comments with the check box. Update.

That didn't work. The box will be there and then disappear the next day. I really don't want to switch themes but I may have to.

Good query Jeannie! Thx.
Got good insight from the answer of Carson.

Hi Jeannie,

To change the body or header font size you will need to edit the custom.css file and add CSS styling to overwrite the default.

Unless you know what you are doing, editing the core stylesheet for your theme isn't suggested.

Rather, find a different theme altogether.

Try using the theme called "iconic-one"

This will give you a clean looking theme similar to TwentyTwelve. To do this, just go to your themes page, click on "Add New", then search for "iconic-one". Install and activate it.

With Iconic-one, the text is darker (almost black), and the headings

tags are larger.

Carson

Thanks Carson. Appreciate it. I'll give it a shot then. Best regards.

Hi Carson, good to see you around. I have a Theme question as well. Is there a free theme that offers Full Width Page (header not showing) and "sticky menu"?

John

Hi John,

Why would you want to hide your menu and header? It would make the page look like it's not part of the rest of your website. Some folks like to use full-width pages with no menu but they do not convert as well because you're taking part of the experience of your website away from the user when you use a full page.

There are lots of themes that offer different template options when you make a page or post, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

best to find a theme that you really like first, then look for this functionality, vs the other way around. Full-width pages aren't something I can see an application for. Maybe if I new more about what you are going to use it for then I could help give you a better answer.

If you want to discuss further, then create a new question, blog, or Private message and we can talk there.

Carson

Thanks for your reply Carson. I was thinking "Like a Landing Page". Re-thought though, for the same reason you just gave me.

John

Thank you so much! Changing to iconic one was a much better choice!
