Hi Bill,
Thanks to your help over the years I’ve finally launched my updated website using your Foxy theme.
1.) I think it’s looking great so far but the site doesn’t seem to be rendering properly using the Safari browser.
Do you mind taking a look at it for me when you get a moment?
2.) Also, on the mobile responsive site, some pages don’t seem to be long enough so some of the content is being lost.
3.) Is there a trick to get a youtube embed to be responsive too? It looks great on desktop but too big on mobile devices!
4.) Also, during my transferring/launching of my site I somehow broke the compatibility of one of my plugins called “All-in-one Event Calendar.” I ended up deleting the plugin and then reinstalling it (with a db backup) and while the events show up in my dashboard, the actual plugin does not show the content anymore and in fact, even the drop-down menus within the plugin’s settings interface no longer work even after the reinstall. Unfortunately the plugin support just blamed it on the theme but I’m pretty sure you’re not the culprit. Nevertheless I thought I’d ask if you had any insight for me!
Sorry for so many questions but I figured it be better than bugging you for a week straight!
All the best!Elan Akin
http://www.dzakinsdeli.comOctober 1, 2014 at 23:23 #22792Bill RobbinsModeratorHello Elan,
I”m working a bit late tonight and saw your request. Let’s see if we can find answers for you.
1. What kind of trouble are you running into with Safari? I just took a look through your site on my desktop version and didn’t see anything that looked out of place. Could you point out something that you’re seeing?
2. I took a quick stroll through on an iPhone 5S and it looked like all the content on the pages I saw was there. Do you have a specific page where it’s getting cut off?
3. There is a shortcode you can insert before and after your videos in order to make them responsive. Add this before:
[fit]
and this after your video:
[/fit]
and that should make the video responsive for you.
4. The plugin settings sounds like it’s having a bit of a javascript issue. Typically when drop-down menus stop working in the WordPress admin, it’s because of a javascript conflict. You could try reinstalling the plugin (delete the current and then install it again). Sometimes that will clear things up strangely enough.
If that still doesn’t do it, you can switch to one of the default themes and see if it works then. If it does, then it could be something conflicting with the theme. We don’t alter the WordPress backend much at all, but I suppose anything could be possible. If it doesn’t work with one of the defaults, then it’s the plugin.
Let me know about which pages are giving you trouble in Safari and we’ll check on those tomorrow.
Thanks,
BillOctober 11, 2014 at 23:25 #23134Elan AkinParticipantWow thanks for such a quick response… I wish I had checked back sooner.
1. I realized that part of the problem was with the redirect from http://www.dzakins.com to http://www.dzakinsdeli.com. I updated my nameservers for the forwarding domain and it resolved the issue with most browsers but unfortunately not with the Safari browser. I included a screenshot of my site on Safari. Although I did figure out how to get the logo to center, the sidebar width has shrunk down causing the widget heading text to overlap a bit. Any ideas?
2. Now I can’t seem to recreate this problem anymore so it must be solved… sorry for the false alarm.
3. Got it! Thank you!!!
4. Still wasn’t able to get the plugin to work. Tried using an original theme, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. Not quite sure what to do with that one. Any ideas?
As always you’re exceptionally helpful and I appreciate it!

At the top of that screen there should be a button you can use to reinstall the current version of WordPress. Give that a try.
I’ve several instances of that fixing issues with items like menus in the admin section. Hopefully it will do the trick here for you.
It looks like the issues with Safari were likely related to the DNS changes trickling out. If you run into other trouble, let me know.
Have a great week,
BillOctober 16, 2014 at 18:07 #23272Elan AkinParticipantThanks Bill!
I did reinstall WP but unfortunately the plugin is still not functioning (no drop down menus work).
But more concerning to me is the css rendering issue in Safari…. still can’t seem to get the custom css to work (sidebars are supposed to be wider) despite fixing the dns issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks again!!!

I took a look through the Custom CSS and did notice a few things that seemed a bit off.
This media query is missing the closing bracket:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) { #content {width: 600px;}
also the last style is incomplete:
.bauhaus, .wptouch-login-wrap,
You might try fixing those two items and see if it positively impacts your display.
Take care,
BillOctober 16, 2014 at 18:36 #23275Elan AkinParticipantBill,
I lost my logo after I reinstalled wp. I reinstalled foxy thinking that would do the trick but no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Elan

October 16, 2014 at 18:50 #23278Elan AkinParticipantSo sorry… I knew that. Just panicked!
Thanks Bill!
October 16, 2014 at 18:57 #23279Bill RobbinsModeratorAnytime.
October 17, 2014 at 03:10 #23280Elan AkinParticipantFixing the closed bracket issue and deleting the incomplete style corrected the issue!
Thanks again!!!
October 17, 2014 at 06:27 #23282Bill RobbinsModeratorThat’s fantastic Elan. Have a great day 🙂
