Thanks for checking in Stiofan,

Theme support said it’s all happening because I need to update my theme to the new version. It’s the main theme that needs updating, not the child theme…if that matters. I have my current theme set to auto-update…but apparently that isn’t working as it keeps saying I already have the updated theme even when I try to update manually.

So next, I do as they suggest to redownload the theme through the dash. But then, of course, that didn’t work as all I got were error messages (You already have this….duh!).

Next they tell me to replace old theme folder with new theme folder via FTP. SO I research how to do this, download an FTP client, figure out how to create an FTP account with my host, download the theme files, unzip…with errors (UGH!!!).

I connect via FTP and there are NO host FILES SHOWING!! I can’t replace the old with the new as I can’t manage to figure out how to get the hosted files showing in the FTP client. All I show is an empty folder. So after about 4 hours of dinking, cussing & crying for something that should have taken 2 minutes, I poured a beer and made some angry art which I ended up trashing. So, I haven’t progressed at all…other than aging about 10 years in the last week.

With a hot cuppa joe and a fresh outlook on life, I’m going at it again and chatting with my host to figure out what the problem is with the FTP. Thanks for the offer to work with the code for me…but it may not help. If I can figure out how to get this #*#X!! theme updated correctly, and if it’s still wonky, then I’ll take you up on that offer. 🙂

You guys are the best.
Cheers, Kris

Thank you so much, Guust!
I value your advice!

Hmmmm I don’t see how I could do 60 days with the coupon feature. I see I could discount 100% on first payment only (so 30 days free).

Let me know if I’m not seeing something that I should be seeing! Am I missing an update?

I also don’t understand how to offer 100% off on all payments for one year as the coupon doesn’t have a end time limit…as it would perpetuate after 1 year. I don’t wish to place a limitation on my packages as it will inconvenience my customers at that point to renew and would offer them an opportunity to not renew.

I guess I could change my mind and offer 30 days (first payment free) instead of 60 days.
I was just hoping to have enough ‘beta’ time after I launch to work out any snags should they arise.

Thanks again.
I’ll have another homebrew and stew on this a bit.
Cheers, Kris

Hi Paolo,

I created a Code box in the advanced page editor and stuck both the html and css there.
I added <style> </style> around the CSS part.

I also tried only adding only the html to the code box and the CSS to the Enfold Child Theme Quick CSS editor (without style tags) and had the same results.

I searched online and couldn’t find any other suggestions of what to do with it. LOL.

Thanks for asking.

Hi Stiofan!

Wasn’t the recent upgrade to 1.5.1 just recently (after or around the 15th?) The reason I ask is that I do have the upgraded version and I’m still having this jpeg issue.

I apologize if this fix was meant for another upcoming version.
Just checking as I’m hoping to launch by the 1st.

Cheers, Kris

I worked all evening trying to use the tool. I’m either doing something wrong, or there’s something in my theme that is preventing it from showing the way it did in the tool. I put it in an html editor and it looked OK there too. I’ll have to have to contact my theme support or try to locate someone around here today to see if they can help me.

If I can get it right, it does look a lot cleaner than the mess I had! 🙂

Thank you so much, Stiofan! I really do appreciate your expert help on this…and your time!

I’m just curious, does that Google font you’re talking about have anything to do with the “off” font that I’m seeing in my pricing table SIGN UP buttons? I noticed that when I started trying to force https, for some reason, the fonts on the lower SIGN UP buttons in the pricing table suddenly changed and are different than the rest of the font in the table.

If not, no worries.

Thank you again!

Haha, Whoops, No worries, Paolo!
I’m going to hold off on the launch then as I’m showing some errors with today’s back-up, and
I Want to make sure all is well after the new GD updates are installed.

Yesterday’s back-up was fine and I haven’t worked on the site since, so we’re still backed up. Should I wait to update GD after the code changes are made?

Thank you again for everything!
