    Hello micropat,

    Yep. That’s what it was. My apologies for the oversight, and thank you for the assist.

    Resolved on my own as my understanding of terminology improved.

    Thank you Menaka. I was able to find all those settings and set up some forums and topics.

    One thing that throws me off so much is the example/instruction videos I find on YouTube. Unless someone is using the same theme (and version) of the theme in the video, the experience can be quite different.

    I will continue to research, ask questions, and try to learn. I have this morning decided to begin taking notes about the different plugins, why I installed them, etc. My challenge right now seems to be logins, but that’s a different thread.

    Thank you.
    Jim

    OK, I didn’t go to bed yet. I was looking at the wp-FileManager screenshot and copied the extensions shown into my config, and now I can edit files without the necessity of download/upload. That’s pretty cool.

    Now I’m really going to bed.

    After a little reading and poking around, I downloaded Childify Me and wp-FileManager. I was able to set up the file manager config by looking at the screenshot on the plugin page and setting the Default Home to ../../ which allowed me to find the Themes folder and the functions.php of my already created and activated Child Theme (did that after I downloaded the Childify Me). I downloaded the functions.php and added your text, then uploaded the file. No change, but I figured out that I neglected to save it as a .php extension. Once I figured that out, I uploaded it again, and Presto change-o. I can now see my empty categories.

    Menaka, I thank you very much. With your help I learned a bit of something new tonight. With that, I wish you a fond farewell, as I have to be up for work in 5 hours.

    I look forward to learning from you again.

    Hello Menaka,
    I can see by reading the text that it looks like it would do the trick. However, I’m afraid we just crossed into an area I know NOTHING about. I am using WordPress through GoDaddy, and I have no knowledge of how to add that to the functions.php (pretty sure that’s one of the files that makes the site work) and I don’t even know what a “child theme” is.

    I’m sorry, I thought that maybe there was a setting for this somewhere.

    Also, Categories has been renamed “Chat topics”. (it’s a working title) I have 3 categories, but since there are not posts, they do not show up. If I create a dummy post, the category for that post will show up on the sidebar.

    Hello Clarion, Thanks for coming back.
    I have created the App ID and completed the associated instructions. I think what this boils down to at this time is that I haven’t figured out how to add the login/register fields to my site. I was under the impression that the Nextend would do that for me, but perhaps I am mistaken. Is it in fact the case that Nextend merely modifies a separate plugin that creates the login pieces that I am missing, is that how this works?

    Thank you for your suggestion Clarion. I believe the plugin you have suggested is the same that I already mentioned (in my original post) that I am trying to use.

    If you go back and take another look at the post, I believe you will see that my question was not so much an inquiry for plugin suggestions as it was for how to setup/use the plugin. (Please let me know if that was not clear or if additional information is needed.) Like I said, I went through the process of getting the App ID from Facebook and proceeded to go through the App ID settings to make it for a web platform. Facebook gave me some code that I have no clue what to do with.

    Keep in mind, I’m new to all this, so it’s still all foreign to me.

    Thank you

    I figured it out. It was a combination of bad entries I made, driven by the fact that I wasn’t familiar with the information that was required.

    I am also having trouble with this and getting the same message. I am also including the long version of the error.

    No valid Facebook session for this app detected, private events will NOT be synced.
