  While I am working on the codes that you have suggested for pricing column (see Modifying pricing table topic) and adding some CSS features and testing together with the blog post shortcode, the following PHP errors showed up (although the program seems to be working).

  Notice: Undefined variable: columnsClass in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas16_data01/40/3702340/html/wp-content/themes/parallelus-salutation/framework/theme-functions/shortcodes.php on line 555

  Notice: Undefined variable: image in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas16_data01/40/3702340/html/wp-content/themes/parallelus-salutation/template-blog.php on line 43

  I looked at the code they were ok, but the errors showed up while I was testing using different parameters.

  Here is the CSS code that I wrote:
  .two-column-table .price-column { width: 48%;
  }
  .two-column-table .price-column.even-column { margin-left: 4% }
  .price-column.column-title {
  background-color:#f4eded;
  font-size:1.2em;
  }
  .price-column{
  background:#eaeef7;}
  .price-column:hover{
  cursor:pointer;
  cursor:hand;
  transform:scale(1.1); }

  .price-column.first-column{ background: #daeef7; }
  .price-column.even-column { background:#daeef7;}
  .price-column.last-column { background:#daeef7;}

  Here is the HTML code:

  [blog category="26" posts_per_page="1" paging="false" post_content="excerpt" excerpt_length="50" show_date="true" comments_link="true" read_more="Read more..."]

  First, and this is very important, to include code in your posts such as shortcodes, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP → please follow the instructions on the forum home page.

  If you don’t do that then your code goes through the WordPress filters that changes things like hyphens into dashes and quotes into curly (smart) quotes. And that causes huge problems when copying and pasting code.

  So please follow the instructions on the forum home page if you want to include code in your posts.

  Thanks.

  Now to your question…

  Those are not errors or warnings, those are notices. Notices do not affect the execution of PHP in any way, they are just notices. Very often PHP notices mean nothing, i.e. they report issues that are not actually issues. If you don’t want to see these notices then you will need to set WP_DEBUG to false in your ‘wp-config.php’ file.

  Also, make sure you are using the latest version of the theme because we may have already fixed those PHP notices…

  Thanks Jeff.
  I did watch and follow the instructions as per video instruction on the home page.
  As long as I am not affecting the PHP code (since I do not know PHP) and if you say they are just notices I am fine.
  I thought I have the latest theme but will check.
  Myo

  If you need to include code in your posts, please wrap the code in the appropriate tags. Like this for example…

  <pre>[blog category="26" posts_per_page="1" paging="false" post_content="excerpt" excerpt_length="50" show_date="true" comments_link="true" read_more="Read more..."]</pre>

  So that it appears in your post like this…

  [blog category="26" posts_per_page="1" paging="false" post_content="excerpt" excerpt_length="50" show_date="true" comments_link="true" read_more="Read more..."]

  Like it says on the forum home page…

       

  With regard to the notices, I know for a fact that at least one of the notices you reported in your original post was fixed in Salutation v3.0.15, so I think you must be using an old version of the theme.
