Hello

I did search but did not find any results on how to..

My website is under contruction and is just going to be a simple portfolio of mine. I have “coded” websites many years ago in DreamWeaver, but I feel like a noob atm. So here I am 😀

First of all, my website is http://coester.comli.com/

I have 3 questions.

1.

I want to make my menu appear below (and not above, as now) my banner/logo/header. How do I do that? I can change the code with NotePad++ in any file.

2.

I want to change, not the background color, but the “background color” in the “mainbox”.. where the menu, text, etc is. How and where do i do this?

3. When I hover over the menu’s links, it says:
http://coester.comli.com/?page_id=12

I want it to say like http://www.x.com/frontpage and not page_id=12 🙂

Thank you very much!!!!

OK, learn to use a web debugging tool like Firebug (a free extension for Firefox) or Chrome Developer Tools (comes built-in with Chrome). These tools will really help you see the structure of your page as well as what CSS rules are in effect for a particular element.

Item 2: It looks like you might have already figured this one out? I see a background-color property for .site in your child theme’s stylesheet. If you want to drill down a bit further, you can also add a background-color property for #masthead and/or #main.

Item 3: Go to Settings > Permalinks from the admin Dashboard. I like using Day and Name for my permalinks (the date won’t show up for pages, just the name). You can play around with the settings until you find one that you like.

Thanks you. I have another problem 😀

My website is http://coester.dk/

I want to have the banner/header made, so it reached the white boxes edges. i tried uploading a wider header (same width as the white box) but it just resizes automaticly. I tried using firebug to figure where and how to edit this, but no result 🙁

I have another issue too! When I hover over “media” (a link in the menu) there comes dropdown with link, to 2 other sites”.. i have the text in this box left, in a failed attempt to make the “box” centered below the button.. now it is more to the right.. 🙁

I want the dropdown box centered from the menulink “media” and not to the left 🙂

Looks like you’re still making changes to your site, because it looks like the header image problem is fixed, and I don’t see a Media menu item.

Yes, i figured out the header thing. I had to add

.site-header {
padding: 1.2429rem 0;
margin-left: -40px;
margin-right: -40px;
}

my friend figured it out, not sure how he knew that command + that it was 40.. any idea how he figured it out?

also the dropdown box is there now .. media. u know the dropdown is not centered it is too much to the right. i managed to move the text to the left from center cus that looks better, since its not centered (the box) 🙂 how do i do that?
