Well, I'll be darned.
Cristoph, how DID you get so wise? That's all there was to it.
Thank you so much. Now I'm off to buy you a coffee.
And for the record, your response came in before receiving an acknowledgement or reply to the official support ticket.
Kudos to the Forum and especially to you!
smileyk9MemberYes, you are correct. The dev site is running WordPress 4.3.5.
Updating to 4.6 was to be the next step- just wanted to have the current version of Genesis running first to avoid… just this type of issue.
I am running some genesis plugins and don;t know if they deactivate themselves or not. I remember seeing instructions somewhere on how to deactivate plugins without access to the WP dashboard so I'll track that down if necessary.
Thanks so much for the suggestions to try. I'll be back in a bit to report progress or frustration.
smileyk9MemberWell, whack my head. And all this time I've been making it more difficult than necessary.
Thanks for the clarification!
smileyk9MemberThanks, Cristoph-
I had hoped to avoid automatic updates. I'd prefer to have more control over when an update happens so I can be around to test things sooner rather than later.
I assumed turning on auto updates meant just that- a site would be automatically updated with no prior notice.
I may give that a try towards the end o' week when I have a chunk of time to do some followup testing. Manual updating may turn out to be the solution this time around. Funny that this has not happened previously.
smileyk9MemberWell, duh.
The solution was far too simple for me to see.
The Home page doesn't show up in the Page list since it is generated by the database.
To edit, it's a simple matter of using the silly "Edit Page" button that appears on the top of the page when logged in as an Admin. I rarely use this approach and completely overlooked it. Clicked that, saw the familiar Visual/ Text editor and all is well.
Hope this helps someone else in a similar situation!
smileyk9MemberThanks again, Victor-
I've looked under the WordPress pages menu, although perhaps I haven't done this correctly.
Both the Featured Page widget and Static Front Page dashboard fields indicate that a page called "Responsive Home Page" is being used.
I've scrolled through the listing of Pages and did not find that. I've searched fro Responsive, Home, Home Page, and Responsive Home Page in the Pages listing and haven't found it.
The HTML I see when I look at Page Source in my browser references "Sample Page." I've tried to find that as well and it remains elusive.
Is there a way to search for a page by its ID instead of name? That's one thing I have not tried…
smileyk9MemberThanks Victor-
I've checked widgets and didn't see what I was after.
We're using some widgets in the Right Header and Primary Sidebar. The "Home-Top" widget section has two Genesis- Featured Page widgets added.
One of them references the "Responsive Home Page" which also shows as our static Home page selection. There is no text or code to edit there. This page is nowhere to be found in the Page list or in the theme folder.
The other widget references "Sample Page" which also can't be found in the Page list or in the theme folder.
Still baffled…
smileyk9MemberYes, indeed you are!
I'll poke around with the options you first mentioned. Not sure if this is something I'm willing to tackle on my own…
smileyk9MemberThank you, Davinder-
I'll take a look at Beaver Builder and Page Builder.
I was hoping to be able to use the existing code from the current site and somehow hook it into the child theme.
Is this an option, or is starting from scratch the only way to accomplish this?
smileyk9MemberThank you, Davinder!
Your hint helped me locate the class that needed to be tweaked.
It remains after changing "display: none" to "display: block".
Adding "padding-right: 40%" seems to position it properly.
Thanks again!
smileyk9MemberGreat question! I'll explore that a bit further.
I *thought* Altitude Pro had the solution I was looking for on its interior page templates. I'll take a closer look at some of the other themes to see if one of those comes closer.
Your question got me to re-examine the way I've been approaching this. I've been testing with how it looks on the Home page, rather than interior pages. That's less of a concern to me, since we have a custom Home page ready to go (which may be a new challenge to include).
I'll be back with more questions after further exploration.
