    Hi everyone,
    I am pretty desperate to find someone who can help me with the appearance of my website. I am a personal trainer now self employed trying, for the first time ever, to create a website and I am really struggling. I don’t know how to change “simple” things. Actually I don’t understand much of this web design thing, that’s why iam willing to give access to my dashboard as I wont be able to do the changes I need if you only send me instructions on how to do it..(I feel pretty stupid saying that 🙂
    Some of you must be thinking why I bother trying it if I don’t really know what im doing. The thing is that at the moment I cant afford to pay someone to do the whole thing for me.
    Anyway,I have purchased the CrossFit theme and I need help with things like changing my header size so the pictures below it will appear when you open the page.
    I also would like to get rid of the word BLOG on the home page and change the colour of my business name (RReps) to black..
    I would really appreciate if someone could help me with that.
    I will provide my password (im sure that is not an issue) so whoever is willing to help me can access my dashboard.
    My website link: http://www.rrepspersonaltraining.co.uk

    Thank you for your time..
    Nelbe

    Hi Nelbe!

    Congrats on your start! It’s really hard to get stuff like this up and running. It takes a lot of time, patience and energy.

    As a heads up, I would check out http://jobs.wordpress.net/. Posting there can get you a dedicated developer for pretty inexpensive. You can try your luck here, but it can be super spotty. As just an example [Redacted – Please don’t discuss that here]

    Otherwise, please don’t give your credentials to a stranger on the internet! Especially on these boards! Especially if you aren’t paying for them! The Internet is a wild place, and I’d hate for you to lose anything you’ve already gained.

    I wasn’t able to find a “CrossFit” theme after a quick google search. Where did you buy it from? Typically, if you purchase a theme you are buying some minimal support or access to tutorials. We’d love to help you here, but you might have a lot more luck from the developer you bought it from.

    Here are some things that might help.

    A plugin like this will help you add code to change the styling of certain elements like the ones you asked about. Install it and add the following codes if you want to tweak your site.

    http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

    This code will remove the large title (“Blog”) from every page. I would recommend this, as the menu above clear says what page the user is on anyways:

    #page_title span.title { display: none !important; }

    This code should shrink the header:

    #content { margin-top: 160px !important; }

    This code should make your gym logo black:

    header .logo a { color: #000 !important; }

    This is what you site would look like after these changes

    Does this all make sense? I hope this helps!

    Cheers!

    Casey
