myParish App Box Section
Hello Everyone,
I just got off the phone with Donna and we were discussing the myParish App section of the Homepage. She let me know that you intend on using the last box to display square images with text. With this knowledge, I am going to talk to a developer to see how we can rework the mobile responsive versions of the app section.
First off, Donna, thank you for sending those pictures. It definitely helps seeing what we are working with!
Now, I do think that there will be a fee for this, since even in the original mockup, the boxes are not square and the myParish App section is made to resize. While this was unknown to you, it is standard with any site using myParish app and did not become an issue until we added the last box. Also, we did make the last box an editable field for free (~6 hours/~$300), so I'm not sure that we could talk our way out of this new cost.
Still, though, I want to make sure I talk with the developer so that he has a clear plan for how he plans on displaying these messages as squares so that there is no guesswork or reason to re-build it. I'm hoping that by talking it through and having a clear vision, we will be able to build it in the shortest amount of time (and therefore, money) possible.
Of course, as I told Donna, we won't work on anything until the cost (if any) is approved, along with the design idea.
If anyone has any questions or specifications, please let me know. Otherwise, I will be sending some design ideas throughout the week.
Thank you,

Hello,
I was able to talk to the developer this morning and get a better idea of what we are looking at. Below are some quick mockups that we created for desktop, laptop/tablet, and mobile.
Desktop (Large screens)
Laptop (Small screens)
Mobile Phone
Also, looking at the work that needs to be done to achieve this, we are looking at the following cost breakdown:
2.5 Hours | $125
If you have any questions, please just let me know.

Hi Veronica,
Father and I reviewed this and he has approved the $125 to rework this section to allow us to use the “square” image.
Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend.

I will let the developer know!
He will be working on it Thursday, so hopefully by Friday, we can look over it together and go over any questions that you may have regarding the changes.
I will keep you updated!

Hi Violet,
I wasn't able to find a female image that matched the one used on your website, so I uploaded a couple other ones in both black and your burgundy color.

How do I make each staff photo the same size?
Violet
How do I make each staff photo the same size?
Violet
I always suggest that you have consistent staff photo backgrounds. It makes a HUGE difference to the overall professional look of your website. This may mean setting aside a day to have someone in the office use their DSLR camera or iPhone 8 or newer to take staff photos against a plain wall.
Taking Staff Photos
Taking Staff Photos
- Use ...
- an iPhone 8 or newwer
- a Google Pixel
- a DSLR Camera
- Make sure the settings are the same for the entire photo-taking process
- Against a plain background (indoors or outdoors)
- Well-lit (cloudy days are best)
- Taken from the same distance
- Always taken portrait, not landscape
Here are some articles on how to edit images within WordPress:
- Where to Edit Images
NOTE: You can also edit the images as you are setting them/uploading them. Simply click the Edit Image link below the image preview - Crop Selection or Scale Image
Scroll down to the Crop Selection and Scale Image portion of the article.
Use Scale Image if you'd simply like all of the images to be the same height.
Thank you,

Very good suggestion. I think we will be taking professional photos starting in May. We have hired LifeTouch to come in and do that for the Parish.

That would work even better. I have worked with parishes that choose to add images later, once they are professional, as well as parishes that take their own until the next time they are taking directory images.

I understand.
As for a future launch date, we do prefer a Wednesday or Thursday launch, rather than a Friday (as I mentioned to you), so that we can monitor the propagation and have the rest of the day and at least the following day to follow up with any unforseen issues.
Thanks Violet and I look forward to hearing back from you,

Veronica,
Regarding the posts template,
1. We would like to have the posts to have an image header - it will be consistent in look with our pages.
* For example, the image header for the news and events page will be used as the image header for all posts in news and events.
* The Image header for service opportunities will be used as the image header for any post in this category.
* For the photo gallery in parish media, please use the image header for these posts as well.
* Not sure what else I'm missing. I'll go over the site again.
1. Please left align the title.
2. Remove ALL the buttons below
3. Lastly, please make sure the fonts size and type is the same throughout. That is similar in font text and size with the rest of the pages.
Since we are close to launching, at this point we are just fine tuning a couple of things. Here is a list of some of the things I've noticed:
1. Except for the main page, all linked Phone numbers are not working properly. Using my phone, when I click on the linked phone number, the 'you are leaving this site' message pops up.
2. Under parish registration, the 'online registration form' and the 'online form' are not highlighted in blue like the other linked items.
3. Quick links text in the main page are in a different font size. Plus, the line is off centered.
4. When viewing the site from my iphone, I noticed that some image headers are off centered as well. For example, please see the 'welcome' page.
5. Could you please change the font size of the sub menu items (HOME|MASS SCHEDULE|HOURS & DIRECTIONS|CONTACT|DONATE) on the main page to the same size as the youtube text?
It's a work in progress and I'm still making updates on our end. I will let you know if other things come up.
Thanks to you and your team for all your hard work. We appreciate it.

Post Template
- All Posts
(service, job, parish events, community events, seas spotlight, gallery posts, myparish app messages)- left align title
(for native posts is itcategory title or post title?) - remove all buttons (previous, next, bulletins)
- consistent fonts (patch to page's <p> font)
- left align title
- Individual Native WordPress Posts
(service, job, parish events, community events, seas spotlight)- Category Image = header image
- Individual Photo Gallery Posts
- Photo Gallery page image = header image
- http://setonlakeridge.diocesanweb.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/PHOTO-GALLERY-e1548994266827.jpeg
If the image above is what you are thinking, it will be easier for us to simply change posts to all display with a "Image Header" rather than the text header. Then, the image in the background of the post will be the featured image that you set. This will work for native WordPress posts and Envira Gallery since they are already set up to function with their featured image. The reason we cannot use the category image for posts is because a single post can be put into multiple categories. So if a post were set to both SEAS Spotlight, Parish News AND service opportunity, then there would be issues in the website's logic of which one to use.
Other items:
- What phone are you using? I did not get the "you are leaving this site" message. Here is what I see:
2. Hyperlinks on Parish Registration Page
These links are not highlighted as they should be because they have actually been set to display as a designated font, size, and color. This is probably done when you are changing the font. If you highlight the font, click the eraser, then change the font back to the desired size, it should correct itself.
Again, there is still the option of updating the default paragraph font to be Open Sans, size 16 so that it matches your header and footer.

3. Which quicklinks are you talking about on the "main page"? Do you mean the quicklinks in the footer of every page? If so, the quicklinks are currently the same size as the contact information also within the header; What font are you wanting all of the footer text to match?
Additionally, the Quick Link line is not centered at all. It is left aligned. Are you trying to match it up to the line below the logo?
4. None of the page's titles are centered. They are all left aligned. In the pictures below, I have my phone portrait and landscape to show you what I mean.

Just to clarify, they would look like this:

Good morning Violet,
Let's definitely discuss your needs for a signup sheet. As I mentioned before, St. Matthew's only allows for one sign up form, not multiple. Once we discuss your needs, I can talk to the developer about a custom solution.
As for the duration of the sliders, the developer came to the conclusion that Diocesan can manually change the hardcoded time, but there is not a way on the user's side to make the slide time customizable as a whole or per slide. The only solution that we could find was to use an entirely different slider to replace it completely and rebuild the desktop/mobile homepage around the new slider, which would take about 8 hours.
I know we had made that change, but I am guessing it got overwritten by our other change of updating the default font (thus updating the font size nearly everywhere)
I will make a to-do for the developer to make both the very top menu and the social media to match the smaller, original font size.
The footer was updated so that the contact information, social media, and quick links all pull their font instructions from the same file:
As for the launch, this date sounds great, provided that you understand that the signup sheet and new slider would not be complete in time for this launch date.
I am completely booked up today and tomorrow, but am available between 12-1:30 on Wednesday, Feb 27. Would you like me to set aside a time for us to discuss this?
Thank you,

Good Morning Veronica,
Yes, let’s discuss the signup further. Tomorrow at 12:00pm sounds good.
For the header and footer fonts size, please keep this the same as the original approved design. The only fonts size I’ve changed is the content text in a page; which I am using font size 14.
I noticed the title on the news and events posts are still centered. Can you please adjust this to left align. Also, can you please take a look at the myparish app page. This was changed to a different format; plus the bottom of the footer is all white.

Hello Veronica,
Could you please remove the 'POSTED ON' text from the title? Please see pic below. Additionally, could you also please add line spacing between the image header and the pictures. Similar to the "our staff" page below. Thank you!

Veronica,
I mentioned yesterday during our conversation that sometimes when I add a line spacing then hit publish it still does not show. Here is the example.
In the hospitality page, the coding reads that there should be a line space between the photo and the text "this is a test". I even did a hard refresh (ctrl + F5)
Now here's the kicker. It does not display the line spacing on my computer screen; BUT, when I view the page on my iphone, I can see it.
This is the problem I've run into in several other pages. Is there a reason for this?

I have added removing "Posted On:" from Envira Gallery posts and added your notes to the to-do I already had for not displaying.
Thank you for the extra information! Hopefully we can figure that out asap and get it sorted out.

Footer Font Size Change
In our call, you mentioned perhaps wanting us to change the footer information (address, social media & links under quicklinks) back to the original size in the mockup.
Did you want us to change them to the same size as the top menu items (Home | Mass Schedule | etc.)?
Thank you,

Hello Veronica,
No. They are two different font sizes. The sub menu items (Home|Mass Schedule|etc.|) are smaller than the footer fonts.
Call me if you have questions.

Yes, we can hard code a larger line space between the header image and the photos.

Yes, we can change the search result page titles to H3.

I've marked the sign up sheet as a no and added a to-do to add the same amount of space to both the top and bottom of the posts. I requested the bottom since that is what the Envria Gallery & App posts use. That way, there's more space below the photos to the right of the posts.

I've noticed some of the updates your making. It's looking great!
Not sure if you're still working on this one; but for the social media icons (youtube, email, our app), please change the font size and make it the same font size as the sub nav menu items? Since you will be decreasing the font size, can you also adjust the social media icon images accordingly.

Oh yes. Appreciate the clarification.
We talked about that in the body of a post, the photo was left aligned hence the text that follows will print right underneath the photo with no spacing. I remembered you had emailed Donna awhile back with a fix.
Here is the 10 great dates post on my phone as an example and a snap shot of the fix you recommended below. I’m assuming the picture place holder will be hard coded into the post, correct?

Good morning Violet,
I know that you are out of the office today, but I wanted to send an update on items that we had discussed in the past and from yesterday's email:
Audio Homilies
Complete
I have updated the page accordingly.
https://setonlakeridge.org/homilies/
Registration Form
Complete
I went through and made sure that Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Church Religious Education Student field was on a line of its own but still using the gf_list_inline code to have it list horizontally on all 15 members.
I know I wanted us to go through this together, but due to time constraints, I didn't have the time to go through it with you. I have done it and it should be good to go!
Colored Heading 3 on Mobile
Incomplete w/ Solution Found
We were able to realize that when you add the color, it would add a seperate span tag that will always override the H3 when it comes to mobile.
Here is what it looks like when you simply highlight the text, and select a color:

We were able to realize that when you add the color, it would add a seperate span tag that will always override the H3 when it comes to mobile.
Here is what it looks like when you simply highlight the text, and select a color:
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Rehearsal Times:</span></h3>
Here is the solution we found so that the H3 text will resize the same as the plain H3 text:
<h3 style="color: #993300;">Rehearsal Times:</h3>
Homepage Slider Text
Incomplete w/ Solution Found
On mobile, the slider heading is 30 px (~24 pt) and the font is 16 px (12 pt). These are the same font sizes that Arlington Diocese is using. It may look different on your website since they are not the same font. Something to remember is that different fonts look different at the same sizes.
Restyling of Posts
Discussion & Quote Needed
We can most definitely restyle your single posts page so that there is a place for the post's single image (or featured image) on the left and the post's content on the right. Something to note is that on mobile, it would still stack with the image above and content below, but you would have a space between them. Otherwise the image would be tiny and the content would be 1-2 words in a skinny column.
Something else to note is that since it is big change that may require several hours of work, we would want to have an in-depth discussion over the functionality and expectations before we get a quote and implement the changes. Let me know if you'd like to talk about this more.
Have a wonderful weekend, Violet and thank you for everything! I truly have enjoyed working with you and have learned a lot that will genuinely help us in future projects.

Good Morning Veronica,
Thank you for all the updates.
Audio Homilies page looks great. Thanks for making all the updates on the registration form. I added the new form to the page already.
Appreciate the solution for the colored heading on mobile too. Working on that as we speak.
Regarding the slider text, have you figured how to make it like the excerpt where we don’t have running sentences.
Let me know when you are available to discuss the posts.
Lastly, the text size for the social media is still the same. Can we update this to the same text size as the sub nav items? You’ll also need to update the one in the footer section too.
Thanks again,

Good morning Violet,
I am available today until 2 pm, but may be in and out of meetings. Is there a time that works best for me to give you a call?
Things to discuss
- Slider text - excerpt "where we don't have running sentences."
- Posts
- Social Media size - I know we made it smaller to match the top menu already, but that was before the made the top menu even smaller.
- Pending Review Notifications Plugin - $35 flat-rate cost vs clicking on Pending Review tab - free
- seaslakeridge.wordpress.com redirect - This is a WordPress.com domain and we cannot redirect it. There is, however the option of purchasing a redirect through WordPress.com's blog hosting: https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

Hi Violet,
Just getting out of back to back training and meetings, so I can finally help you out!
- Search Results on Mobile
I have added a to-do for this. - Spacing Between Columns
The spacing between the Parish Events and Diocesan & Community Events is because they are in columns, so this is the standard spacing for columns. How much less spacing are you thinking?
- Line Break in Mobile Slider
What is the issue on the mobile version? - Event Titles Underline
We can add this, but something to remember is that the post title never displays more than 2 lines. So if the post title is longer than 2 lines, it will not show the line. Cutting off the titles and excerpts was done so that all posts title areas, post excerpt areas and Read More links would be at the exact same height. Since I believe you still may have some questions over this, I will hold of on adding this as a to-do. - Prayer Request Confirmation Message
The confirmation that you are seeing is editable by editing the form and going to Settings > Confirmation. Then edit the confirmation. There, you should be able to change the font size.
Violet, please let me know if I can call you tomorrow morning at 8:00 am. I have a meeting from 9-11 and then a training at 2, but I'd like to get it all sorted out in the morning so that the developer can get to work on it at the same time he is doing the other items. Plus, that way, we can answer all of your questions!
Thanks so much,
Veronica Alvarado

Please clarify for me. Diocesan is hosting both our seas1.org domain and setonlakeridge.org domain correct? So do we pay the subscription fee for both domains through you? Patrick thinks the subscription for seas1.org expired in February. In the past, we paid ipower.
Can you please check on this?

Expiration with Categories
As I mentioned, here is our help article that will help with knowing which expiration type to use:
http://support.diocesanweb.com/support/solutions/articles/43000489650-how-to-expire-a-post
Domain & Hosting Fees
I talked with our business manager and according to your contract (seen below) and your primary domain of setonlakeridge.org is included in your annual hosting fee. The 2 additional domains of seas.church and seton.church are $20 per year, each, billed annually. The seas1.org domain was not in the original quote, but we are going to waive the $20/year fee and grandfather it in so that it will also be included in the annual hosting fee.
Domain Expiration Dates
All domains are all set to auto-renew on the dates below:
- Seas1.org | Auto-Renews 2/25/2020
- SetonLakeRidge.org | Auto-Renews 4/13/2019
- Seton.church | Auto-Renews 4/20/2019
- Seas.church | Auto-Renews 4/20/2019
Our To-Do List
Here is the link that I previously shared with you. It is where we add each to-do. You can refresh the page to see what items are checked off.
https://public.3.basecamp.com/p/JZK5HKJdhx28Kb9yJgjioxCH
Post Restyling
I talked to the developer and there are now 2 options:
- Add Space Only | 1 hour = $50
We would add a media query that does: If image stacks, then add space below image. This would still mean you'd have to add the image as a featured image and in the post's content, but it would eliminate the issue of the spacing. - Use Featured Image & Add Space | 3 hours = $150
Instead of having to add the image in twice (once as the featured image and once as media in the content), you will only have to add the featured image. That image would, in turn, display on the left 1/3 of the screen and content would fill the right 2/3. On mobile, they would stack, featured image above and content below, with the space between them.
Other Plugins in Discussion
- Pending Submission Notification | $35
As I mentioned over the phone, there is currently no functionality within WordPress that allows for a notification. There is, however, a plugin that we found after talks earlier this week that allows for this. - Reordering Posts | $35
Another plugin that I mentioned in an email to Donna, then over the phone with you, allowed for the ability to click and drag to reorder posts rather than having to change the posted dates.
As I mentioned, if after 48 hours, you are not satisfied with the plugin and the plugin does not work for your needs, then you will not be charged the $35 and we will remove the plugin from your website.
Thank you,

Thank you for the information below. It’s a relief to know we are still good with the seas1.org domain.
Also, I appreciate you for looking into other options for the posts. Did you get a chance to ask the developer if they can center the photo on the mobile side only and not on the desktop side?

With regards to the prayer request form page….I updated the ‘confirmation’ page and this is the result.
Here is the Prayer request form page before I entered the data. You could see the form below.
[cid:image005.jpg@01D4DA77.56BD0AA0]
And this is the Prayer request form ‘confirmation’ page. Shouldn’t the confirmation text be printed on a new page?

Hi Violet,
By default, confirmations are the "Text" type, which means that the form will disappear and the text will appear in its place. If you wish it to go to another page, then you will have to create the page and then set it to redirect.
Here is Gravity Form's documentation of the confirmation with more information on each type of confirmation: https://docs.gravityforms.com/configuring-confirmations/
As for the line to the left of the message, this is because you have the text in a quote, which indents the text and adds the line.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Good Morning Veronica,
Just heard back from Fr. Bashista. He approved the following items:
1. Pending Submission Notifications - $35
2. Reordering posts - $35
3. Restyling Posts - $150
With regards to the posts, the font text in the body of the post is different. I think it's serif. The 'excerpts' as well are displayed as serif. Can you fix this as well so that they are consistent with our pages.
Lastly, the social media in the footer should be the same size as the social media in the header. The social media in the footer is a tad bit bigger.
Once you've completed the above items, can you zap me an email?
Thanks,
Violet

Hello Violet,
Pending Submissions Notifications
I have added and tested the plugin to send post status notifications. Right now, I have added the notifications for if there is a page or post that were switched from anything to "Pending Review".
Right now, it is just your email and the author of the post that will receive an email notification. If you'd like me to add anyone else, please let me know.
Reordering Posts
I just added and tested the plugin to reorder posts. It is set up so that under posts, there is now an option of "Re-Order."
This will display all of your posts (drafts included) in all categories. You may then click and drag to reorder your posts. Scroll to the bottom and click the blue "Update" button to save your changes.
As a reminder, you will have until 4:00 pm on Thursday to decide if you'd like to remove it and not be charged. Otherwise we will charge the $35 flat rate for the plugin.
Restyling Posts
The developer will be working on these items on Thursday and Friday, but I will send you a message when he is done so that you can check and go over it.
Let me know if you need any help with either of the plugins that were added.
Thank you,

I just spent 15 minutes looking at the RESORTING plug in option.
I tried to use the sorting boxes to get it to show me ONLY… “PUBLISHED PARISH EVENTS”. That’s all I want to see to sort.
Doesn’t seem to work.
I do not want to see “drafts”, “pending”, or posts published by anyone else. We are looking at the News and Events Section only that we want the posts to publish with our most current event first, followed by subsequent events in chronological calendar order. That would be difficult if I need to trudge through posts from all pages.
So at this moment, I don’t think it is understood what we are trying to gain and that this plug in does what we have asked for. It does sort, but there is a lot of clutter to muddle through.
Is there something I am missing, or not understanding? Can you modify this for exactly our needs?
Thanks.

Good Morning Veronica,
Spending a little more time to figure this out. Today I clicked on the
“Did you know there is available and Advanced version of this plug-in?” Read more….
It took me here: https://www.nsp-code.com/premium-plugins/wordpress-plugins/advanced-post-types-order/
This looks like it has a way to order within custom taxonomies (like categories). So I think that means I can sort just Parish Events and then reorder.
Keep in mind, I have three areas to sort: News and Announcements, Parish Events, Diocesan/Community Events. I would like to be able to see posts for these 2 areas separately to reorder.
It also looks like there are thumbnails to each post. Pictures help to know which posts you are looking at. That’s a nice feature for visual learners/thinkers!
Would you look at this one? Same price $35?
Thanks.
Donna

Hi Donna,
I wrote a reply and just saw that I never hit send. So sorry about that:
The plugin that we installed is the lite version, that has much less options than the $35 pro version. Simply put, the lite version does exactly what you had requested, as it allows you to manually reorder the posts.
Since you mentioned the Advanced version, I will say, that it does have category sorting, thumbnails, option to set order by manual OR automatic depending on the category, and a list OR grid view.
https://www.nsp-code.com/premium-plugins/wordpress-plugins/advanced-post-types-order/
The cost of installing any plugin after launch/out of the original scope is $35. The cost of a plugin is additional to Diocesan's flat $35 fee. So in this case, if we were to purchase the Advanced version, it would be an additional $35, but we would not charge you the $35 plugin install fee since we would be removing the current reordering plugin.
I hope this clarifies it. If not, feel free to email me or give me a call.
Let me know if you'd like us to go ahead and purchase, install, set up and test the plugin for you.
Thank you,

Good afternoon,
I wanted to give you ample time to test the plugin and determine if the Advanced version is what you'd like, so we will not be charging you until Tuesday afternoon. Plus, I will be out of the office until Tuesday, although I will be checking my email and can be available for a call, if needed.
Also, we updated your single posts to their new display! Since some of the posts still had an image in their content, I went ahead removed them from all published posts (but not drafted posts).

Hello Veronica,
Could you please resend me the pin to basecamp? I have not been getting your emails. Not sure why. I do have a new email address it is v.laville@setonlakerige.org.
Thank you,

Hello Veronica,
I have not been receiving your emails about the plug-Ins or the restyling of the posts. The posts are suppose to have the featured image displayed in the body of the post and currently it's not being displayed? Additionally the font needs to be Sans Serif to be consistent with our other pages.
Do you have time on Monday to go over them? Donna and I are available before noon.
Thanks,
Violet

Veronica,
Hope you are enjoying your time off. First, I want to thank you for the “pending submissions notifications’ plug-in. I tested it this morning and that works great.
Secondly, I was hoping to speak with you about the restyling of the posts and the reordering of the posts as well. I called earlier and spoke with Mary specifically about the posts. Donna and I are very surprised about the ‘additional cost’ for the plug-in. Per your previous email ‘the plug-in is a flat rate of $35, which includes install, setup, testing, training” and per our phone conversations that we’ve had, there was no mention that we had to pay for the ‘cost’ of the plug-in as well. Thus, our understanding is that the flat-rate applied to a plug-in regardless if it be a ‘lite or advanced’.
Donna read the article on the advanced version and thinks this would work best. She was hoping to test it; but the plug in was not installed.
Please call us at your earliest convenience so we can discuss the above items.

Good morning Violet,
The long weekend was well needed, but I'm sorry if it caused you any inconvenience!
I've added your new email and taken your other one off of this email chain. The client access PIN for the Elizabeth Ann Seton Basecamp project is 3671.
https://clients.3.basecamp.com/c/5aLyss5dcN8soSVpZxhGmPVC
If you are looking for the messages regarding the Advanced plugin, please click on the "myParish App Box Section" message thread.
I'm glad that the pending submission notifications plugin is working as expected. As for the reordering posts plugin, there initially was no additional cost with the lite version, simply our standard, flat-rate cost of $35. This is the cost of adding any new plugin, regardless of the type of plugin or additional costs. This fee covers ~45 minutes of our time in which we install the plugin, set up all settings and integrate them with the theme, test the plugin to make sure that it works with your website's theme, and train any staff that will be using the plugin. In reality, this usually takes us 1-2.5 hours to complete, but rather than charging you the $50-125, we charge a flat rate of $35. This fee is for our time, but not the cost of the plugin.
Also, when finding a plugin, we will always choose the free version of the plugin as long as we believe that the free version of a plugin will accomplish the user's goals. We don't want to charge you an additional $35 for features you don't need. For this reason, I wanted to give you the lite version and see if that one worked for your simple need of reordering posts, saving you the additional $35 of the advanced version of the plugin.
As soon as I read Donna's message that you wanted more than the ability to simply reorder all your posts, I was prepared to discuss the advanced version of the plugin, which Donna had found. Still, this is a plugin that comes at a cost and by going through the NSP Code site, it does not look like the plugin can be refunded unless there is something wrong with the code. However, it does not explicitly say they won't refund it, so I can send an email asking about refunds if we simply do not want the product. (See #7 FAQ here.)
We did fix the YouTube issue, so they should now be in the correct order. The search is also now limited to the SEAS channel, rather than all of YouTube.
I have a meeting at 9:00 am, but can give you a call after that, if it works for you.

Good Morning Veronica,
Was looking at the website this morning. Thank you for taking care of the fonts in both the Myparish app and in the News and Events section.
The photo images in the content of the posts are all different sizes. Please take a look at the following posts:
1. Stations of the cross
2. Yamos: March Schedule
3. Bible 101:Ongoing
4. Vocations Crucifix program
Please reference the Mark Forrest: March 31st photo size as a good template.
Also, the social media icon in the footer still needs to be updated. It should be the exact same size at the one in the header.
Additionally, I had a question about the invoices we received. Can you please call me at your earliest convenience?

Veronica,
Thank you for the link below to NSP Codes’ Refund Policy.
7. Refund Policy
We want you to be happy with your purchase. If you have any questions, concerns, or problems, please contact us.
In the event, however, that you conclude your purchase does not works with your WordPress set-up, we want to make things right. We can make a fix for the code or refund the full price.
Simply contact us and let us and settle the details.
Hopefully, you will get answers to clarify refunds if necessary. It sounds like they want to be sure you are happy with your purchase.
We also hope you can get the advance plug in quickly for us to test. I will be meeting with Father Bashista Friday afternoon to discuss the additional $35 fee for an advanced plugin and explain this situation. It would be nice if I can go in saying I tested the plug in and it meets exactly what we wish to do to work efficiently.

Violet,
Here are the items that I just added to our to-do list:
- Featured Images in posts should be a 4:6 ratio (600px width by 400px height). This can be done by SEAS.
- Spacing between posts should be same as paragraph spacing.
- Double check that footer social media text is same size as header social media
Advanced Post Types Order Plugin
As for the Advanced Post Types Order plugin, I have sent them an email asking if there is either a trial version or if it is possible to get a refund if the plugin does not work for our needs. I will wait to hear back from them and let you know what they say.
Since I know it may have been confusing, here is the cost options/breakdown of the re-ordering posts plugins that I was trying to explain over the phone:
Final Website Cost
In our phone call, you also brought up the final cost of the website. The price we quoted you in your signed contract was $5,250, which should be the total cost that we billed you for. The bill you received should display ALL hours that we worked on your project, but does not change the cost of your website. For example, there were 121 hours for build ($8,470), but this did not affect your final cost.
As for the $70/hr vs $50/hr, alll design, development, and content migration hours worked on the project are at $70/hr, but training does not cost you at all unless we bill it separately as support.

This means that the 5.03 hours of training that you see were a part of your 4 hours of quoted, free training. We did not charge you extra, or at all, for any of the 5.03 hours of training you see there. In fact, the 1.03 hours of extra training were not even included in the $6,500 that we wrote off, as we did not even bother charging the 1.03 hours as extra support (billed at $50/hr).
Let me know if you have any other questions or if you were charged more than the $5,250 for your final website and we can get it worked out,

Donna and I were looking at the photos again and had a couple of questions. The 600x400 is different than the photo in the actual post. The photo in the actual post is 2478x1728. Which would you recommend will be better for our site?
Additionally, Donna wants to know what happens if we use a vertical photo like the one we are using for our Vocation crucifix program?

It was great speaking to you today and getting some things clarified. I also appreciate you for looking into the invoice we discussed over the phone.
The Invoice (#23624) we received charged us more. It is for $5550.50. That’s $300.50 more than the quoted price below of $5250.00. I will let our Business Manager know to be expecting an updated invoice.

Post Images
As I mentioned over the phone, the images seen on the post category pages will always, automatically display with 600 x 400 images, cropped center, center (see here). The individual post displays the image with it's original ratio, but there is a maximum width of 1/3 of the page (see here).
If you wish to standardize the images for all posts without incurring development costs, it is simple. Your featured image should always be a ratio of 4:6 (400 x 600).
This can be done within WordPress following these instructions:
NOTE: Cropping an image in the media library will crop ALL instances of the image on your website. The image can be restored back to the original image, if needed.
- Click Add Media.
- Select image.
- On the right side of the screen, click Edit Image.
- Click Edit Image below the image>
- On the right side, type in 6:4 for the Aspect Ratio.
- Click and drag on the image and it will automatically create a crop size of 6:4 ratio.
- Click the corners to make it bigger or smaller. Click and drag the selected box to select what area of the picture you'd like to capture.
- Click the Crop icon to save the crop changes.
- If this is the crop that you wish to use, click the blue Save button.
- Your changes have been saved and the image has updated anywhere it was being used on the website. Continue adding image as usual.
Re-Ordering Posts Plugin
I emailed the plugin creators and they let me know that there is not a trial period and they will only refund the cost of the plugin if there is an issue with the code. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
Invoice
They've already left for the day, but I did ask our business manager to look into the cost. It may be that the $300.50 difference comes from the hosting and domain costs. Those are not a part of the $5,250 cost of the website, but are annual, recurring fees that were mentioned in the contract.
I will stay on top of this and keep you updated.
Thank you,
