Greetings Collin,
well, I wish I could say the last changes you so kindly helped me implement were a complete success, but it wasn't. We are still getting many instances were the font size is not published with the correct size. (See attached).
Since this is a huge site, the content was migrated using a migration tool, and because of that< I assume, all manual content modifications done in the old site were brought along with the migration. Much of the content is displayed using tables.
I tried to modify the following using the  custom template css
The example of the code was grabbed from this page:
http://family.webmaster-sos.com/strategic-planning

element.style {
  font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
  font-size: 12.727272033691406px;
  line-height: 18.196969985961914px;

to reflect this:
element.style {
  font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
  font-size: 14px;
  line-height: 1.7em;
}

But that had no effect.

You noted in your last response to the previous discussion: "Should you need assistance with a long term solution then I could assist if needed.

Please let me know about this assistance, I definitively need it.

Looking forward to your reply,

Beatriz.

I want to also add that I also need help with two more items:

1. I cannot access the files from the JDownloads back admin window, I get the following
An error has occurred.
0 DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (%2015-%04-%14 %22:%Apr:%th) at position 0 (%): Unexpected character

2. How can I delete the following from the downloads page:
Files: layout revised by ColinM
http://family.webmaster-sos.com/batterers-treatment

3. Is there anyway to fix the alignment for any of the titles that are longer than 1 line? This looks weird to me (See title below)

Looking forward to your reply.
Beatriz M.

Hi Beatriz,
Yes will help. 

Have found the reason for the different font sizes in your first post.  You have set up in ty_biz-custom.css
p {
    font-size: 14px !important;
    line-height: 20px !important;
}


This relies on all your text being enclosed in <p>  ...  </p>  html, that is an enclosing paragraph.  Not all of your text is so enclosed!  There are at least two solutions. 
1. Go to all non compliant text and edit to add the enclosing paragraph. Suspect this is long and tedious.
2. Remove the above custom css from from the ty_biz-custom.css file.  All text will then revert back to the size as defined by the Layout.  We can change size if required in the Layout

See attached pics.  Have assumed there are no other relevant custom css changes.

Will be back later today.

Beatriz,
Have fixed point 2 in second message.  Edited the Active layout
MY Standard Files Layout without Checkboxes v2.5 (3) and removed
<p>{files_title_begin}</p>
<div style="background-color: #efefef; padding: 6px;">{files_title_text}layout revised by ColinM</div>
<p>{files_title_end}</p>


This was put in to identify to you which layout was in use!!
More later.

Fixed item 1
QuoteI cannot access the files from the JDownloads back admin window, I get the following
An error has occurred.
0 DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (%2015-%04-%14 %22:%Apr:%th) at position 0 (%): Unexpected character
See attached pic where someone added % symbols in the long date setup in Config- Downloads tab.  I have removed the % symbols  -  probably put in by someone familiar with Visual Baic or a version of C, C++ or similar!

One more to do - which is probably the most 'interesting'.

Back later

By modifying the layout we can get different effects.  All very straightforward.
Please see pics attached and advise desired arrangement.

PS would be good if your client would approve small donation towards running costs of the jD website!!

Colin,
I have sent an email to my client addressing all your point in this response. I will let you know which layout they choose as soon as I hear from them.
Thank you for all your help.

Beatriz,
Apologies - I did not spot the use of capital letter S in the time string!  It is now Y-m-d H:M:s  Incidentally capital S is valid in the Date part and it produces things like 5th, 1st and so on - you will see there is a strange Apr:th in the time part of your error message.!

If it happens again pl;ease give me sufficient details to test it as I have now run out of the 'simple' reasons!!

Also noticed that you have 2 directories that do not have write permission.  see Config Downloads Tab. They are the Uncategorised directory name and the Temporary directory name

I wish I could explain better, I don't know what other information to provide, can you tell me a bit more specifically what I need to provide you with?

I am still unable to access the "Files" by clicking on the Files icon or the JDownloads "Files" menu item. I continue to get a page with this result:
An error has occurred.

    0 DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (2015-04-14 22:Apr:th) at position 11 (2): Unexpected character"


I checked the old website JDownloads admin, and I found they have this setting under the "Date-Time format " field:
%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

I did not want to try it on the new site without asking you first.

Let me know if this helps.
I am attaching two screenshots, one showing the JDownloads back admin showing what I call the "Files" icon and one showing what I see when I click that icon.

Colin, my client as opted for option 2, with regards to content layout.

They asked me where they can post a donation to your website.
Let me know.

Colin,
due to some sort of conflict,  :'( we lost the ability to create new content.
We are now working from this website that I created just a couple of days ago, as fallback:
http://joomla.webmaster-sos.com/administrator/
All account logins should be the same, and your account should also be active in this website.

Let me know if you have any questions.

By the way, the same problem discussed about not being able to access the files in JDownloads is in this site as well:
When I click on "Files" I get this:
0 DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (%2015-%04-%14 %22:%Apr:%th) at position 0 (%): Unexpected character

I had just found some concerns about your site when your new posts came in!  In jD there are some unwritable directories, see earlier posting.  This may be reason why you cannot do installs in other directories

I was about to edit the layout and my normal practice is to make a copy.  But it would not make a proper copy.  This indicates a database problem. 

I looked at Extensions - Management database.  This shows some Joomla database errors.  Suggest you contact your hosting service to get them to checkout things as well.

The Files control panel is strange.   Normal Files show empty until you upload a file into it, the default is the jdownloads directory in the root part of your web site.  It looks as if it may have a strange file in it.  Normally it just has directories: all the top level categories and the some special jD ones as listed in jD Config - Downloads tab.

When you have resolved things please could you install eXtplorer component as that allows looking at files on the server and setting file permissions for read, read/write and so on.

I will redo things when site is back up.  please let me know.
