• Hello,

    I made changes to the functions.php file in the editor section. I tried to load it and got a server error- it can’t load the page. How do I get the original file back the way it was?

    Help!
    🙁

  • You can restore an unedited copy of the functions.php. The error will go away.

    Thanks.

    Do you know if it’s possible to add a table with six images in a grid to the twenty twelve theme? I’m trying to create an image widget to add to the page, but you can bet I won’t try it through the functions.php file again….. Any suggestions?

    You shouldn’t be using table markup for layout purposes these days. You should use floated divs. Why aren’t you just using the native WordPress gallery functionality?

    Can you just add it from wysiwyg?

    Because I’m new at this and I didn’t know the correct way to do it.

    Can I use that with a theme? The problem I’m running into is changing existing themes – adding a child theme is great, but I don’t need a comment section. There are lots of templates that I won’t need on my page, but I don’t know the proper way to remove entire sections from a theme. I’m doing this on my own and I’m a newbie, so I apologize if I’m not using best practices. ;(

    Probably could use Dreamweaver, but where do I add it?

    If you are modifying theme files, the first step is to create a child theme. http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    Otherwise all your changes will be overwritten when WP is updated and it’s also crucial to have a clean copy of the default theme for troubleshooting purposes.

    After you have that set up, start a new thread – as this one is on an entirely different question.

    For basic html editing, you can use editor provided with WordPress. Click on table icon, chose number of columns/rows, insert images in each cell and you’re good to go.
