Thank you Boaz
Last ditch attempt. Apart from Pojo, is there anyone else that has a sound knowledge of the structure of your themes that can offer support? As I may have intimated earlier, I am attempting to put together a consistent platform for future developments. As such, I will be standardising on Automattic products wherever feasible, and that other platform-related products should also support Automattic. If this support is not possible, I must remove them from my standardisation list. As it is, something that would have taken a competent WordPress/Woocommerce developer a maximum fifteen minutes to offer some advice or direction, has rather taken much longer with no outcome.
Regards
Michael
