Great, thanks for your time with that info. The files that are actually modified is really key for me.

I actually updated without realising that it would revert all my changes as I have made a lot of modifications. So I am going through changing everything all over again (but faster to do this time). Lots of things are broken on my site as a result of the patch, including the log in process for example.

However, my site is not live yet (i have a deadline for this weekend) as I have been working on it for the past couple of week. I estimate that by updating my theme with this patch, I have added about 4-6 hours of work to reconfigure my own changes, as I didn’t note down what I did previously. This is a good learning experience for me for updating the theme in the future when the site is live.

I use the wordpress portal to update the theme so I prefer not to have to download the theme every single time again, just to access the changelog. Is there another place that these updates are posted?

So this is probably the last post I need to make on this thread, but I want to provide a screen shot of what I was trying to achieve with the sticky post. Note that this is not the final design/colors/layout, as I am working through sections of the setup, one little bit at a time — slowly. <BR><BR>

So, I have ran into a problem. I can’t run PHP on the sticky post through the ‘text’ view within post admin. I just found a plugin to enable me to do this, and I will try that now. (https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php/)

Alright, actually doing this my self is faster than searching for the solution which is a bit strange.

I have worked out how to hide the title, just like before I placed it in the custom CSS under the Newspaper theme control panel. This is what I put in there,.sticky .entry-title {display: none;}.

So all I can see now is the text I am putting on the actual page. My next step is to find the code that will display the titles and date, of the latest 5 or so articles, one line break after the other. As well as working out how I will do the editors picks in a similar way. (I want that code sitting on the sticky page)

I want to add that I have looked at the code in loop-single.php and worked out how to hide all the meta data in a sticky post for the purpose of achieving what I want, as explained in my original post above.

I placed, .sticky .td-module-meta-info {display: none;}, within the custom CSS on the Newspaper theme control panel.

However, I can’t have the subject/title showing as the title has nothing to do with what I am wanting to achieve here, but I can’t work out a way to remove it yet. I am still working on it. I could remove the title from the page in the page editor under admin, but I want it there so that myself and other authors of my site can see what it is for. I will post my solution if I find it.

Thanks for your response. This is important as it’s what makes my website unique, but not only that, it provides navigation in a very quick way for regular visitors. Based on feedback, my visitors prefer me having quick links near the top of the posts which are easily accessible. (so best here, than on the side menu)

I have a coding educational background, I just haven’t used it for a very long time, so I was hoping for a quick answer, but it looks like I will have to do some manual work here. I am finding it really time consuming setting everything up! But it’s enjoyable. I am new to wordpress, which is part of the problem. I have been with blogger for six years

When saying all that, it may be best for me to try and get the sticky post option working, and hiding all the fields. Then I can simply update that post whenever I want to make the changes I need without impacting the front page, and list of posts below that. I thought that you may have had a regular question from clients around hiding fields in sticky posts so would have been able to tell me the CSS code specific to your themes fields such as comments, the date, author, etc. I wan to hide everything though and just have what is in the contents of the sticky post/page displayed.
