    Hi Guys,

    I’m relatively new to wordpress so I do apologise in advance if my questions seem a little simple.

    http://matcharepublic.com/

    I have been to the widgets section of the dashboard and inactivated and trashed archives and categories on the right hand side of the site (AAAAAAAAAGGGGHH) but they are STILLLLL there. WHY?

    Also, since changing themes, my site has two links for homepage, why is this? It’s incredibly annoying. It seems that when I think im finally getting somewhere the site does something else to mess it all up again, its like a massive game of tetris.

    I would like to take out the breadcrumbs underneath the menu bar as it is taking up too much space. I would like the whole site centred also.

    Any info would be great. Thanks alot.

    Now something else has happened, the homepage has changed completely. My home page is the one with the small h not the large one.

    What Theme are you using?

    Menu:
    Your previous theme was probably auto generating the menu structure.
    Since this is a new setup, and this theme likely uses menu locations, you will need to manually select what menu you would like to use for each menu location.

    Sidebar:
    If you expand the Widget area, do you see anything listed in the default sidebar?
    It looks like your sidebar still have those widget area there, even though you may have removed the interior content.

    Breadcrumbs:
    Depending on your theme, this is most likely a setting.

    If you tell me the theme you are using, I can send you some screenshots from my dev server.

    Thanks!

    It is called colorway theme.

    I am trying to centre the site including the menu and logo just this issue now. I have managed to fix the homepage issue just fine.

    Also, the “our blog” is constantly highlighted, why is this?

    Removing widgets does not remove the space for the sidebar in the layout. If your theme does not have one, you will need to make a template that is full-width (no sidebar). But that can only be done in a child theme – so start by setting that up:

    And BTW, do not bump or post duplicate threads. I deleted your other one. These are volunteer run forums so sometimes help may not be available as fast as you’d like.

    No worries, now you know :)!

    I think that theme has custom CSS option? If so, try adding this to that section:

    .logo {
    display: table;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}

.header .menu-bar {
    display: table;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}

    Cool – you’re welcome. BTW, if you have more questions about Colorway theme, the best place to post them will be in the theme’s own sub-forum here:

    https://wordpress.org/support/theme/colorway

    Scroll to the bottom to the new post form to make a new thread there (best not to post in anyone else’s thread).
