Thanks. just what I was looking for.
apart from i cant find a file with that code in it.
Try the .css file in your theme’s directory (wp-content/themes/YourThemesName)
Thanks. But, the only .css file I can find has this in it:
/* File here for WP identification purposes only. This CSS file is not loaded by the theme at all. See css directory for theme CSS */.
If there is some other css drectory, I’m not sure how to get to it.
And where did you find that one? Is it where I suggested you look (in your theme’s directory)?
Edit:
(say, did you notice that file you found mentions the theme’s CSS directory? Going out on a limb here, but maybe you should look there next!)
I found it amongst the list of files that appear when you click on Appearence and then Editor. There is one css file in that list. I’m not sure if that is the Theme directory or whether I sould be looking in some other place.
I’d fire up FTP and go have a look directly. Might help you get a better feel for what’s out in that Theme’s directory.
Or alternatively, perhaps I should be looking for anther WordPress theme that doesnt have any daft features that need editing out. All I want is a one column theme that just allows for text, a list of Pages (the main ones not the sub ones), there must be one out there surely ? I dont really want the Blog format, just a simple website format. The only reason for my using WordPress is the availability of a Plug in to create a Membership site (which is what I want to do). But the lack of suitable templates is a real pain.
Or altrnatively not using WordPress at all.
FTP is not specific to WordPress. If you type it into your search engine of choice you’ll learn more about it. We have a little bit of info here for you as well: FTP_Clients.
Regarding your last two posts here:
- If you’re looking for a simpler theme, you might start a new topic.
- If you don’t want to use WordPress you certainly don’t have to. We’re not going to force you and you haven’t paid anything for it. 🙂
Re your last point:
No – but I have paid for plug in’s designed for use with word press, and for a linked hosting package, both of which WordPress presumably have some coomercial interest in. And even if it is free, it doesnt justify rudeness.
There is obviously some thing odd about the css file that is included in the css directory for that Erudite theme (in that its not actually loaded by the Theme) and its not obvious where to find the actual css file that is loaded by the Theme
I finally found out how to do FTP although the files were already in my hosts web server. Anyway I found the actual css file, and found the suggested rouge lines, edited them as suggested by freecss (just deleted them using Notepad and re-saved to the server), but when I go back to WordPress, as run from that server, the problem seems to have remained. Not sure if there is anything else I should have done.
you must edit erudite.css file in yourthemedirectory/css. i have edited for you, download them to the-erudite-2.0 directory with ftp.
