The first thing you need to do is to change the text color from white to black or something you can actually see.
1. That’s actually part of your theme:
wp-content/themes/rt/images/header_whole.gif
Download that, keep a copy the colour it white ?
2. Download the theme’s index.php
Open in Notepad. find these lines:
<div class="feedback">
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
</div>
(It should look pretty similar)
Delete them
Also delete:
<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>
save that as ‘page.php’
Upload to the themes directory
3. That’s a bit more complex.. I’ll have to take a look
And no, you’ve violated nothing whatsoever !
🙂
My best suggestion is to go into your css. file where your colors and styles are located and find:
#container & #topcontent & #singlecontent
change the backgrounds on each individual id to something like
#container {
background-color:red;
}
#topcontent {
background-color: blue;
{
#singlecontent {
background-color:pink;
}
Do them individually, and after each change check your page. The changing of colors will enable you to locate the grey area. Once you’ve done that, then you can change the color to “black” and all will be good…
Comments
On your About Page, you make reference to leaving a comment…
[quote;] You can contact me at any time, and please feel free to leave comments for me. [unquote]
But, to remove the comment box from your about page just to to Admin/Write/Page and uncheck the comment check box and the comment box will be removed.
Sorry – I’m not familiar with Connections theme, so I’ll leave that to someone else.
jwurster <– what test is not visible. It shows up on my system at home?
Podz & Katie <– THANK YOU SO MUCH. You explained it just perfect. I love it. The problem is fixed.
However, I noticed now that once it’s fixed some of my sidebar #2 doesn’t show up unless you refresh on the first page? Any idea why? Any body?
Regardless though, Thank you so much for your help. My site is really coming together now and I couldn’t have done it withyou you guys being fantastic.
All the text in the main area is white. I’m using Firefox on a Mac, must be a stylesheet thing, but your entire center column is blank when I view it. I can highlight the text and see that it’s white in color so I know there’s something there.
I’d guess that the CSS for “storycontent” needs to have a color added to it, like “color: black;” or something just so it’ll show up.
It might show up on one machine, but not on another or one broswer but not on another, so make sure to have a few people check it out. Good luck.
Thanks gbarber. I added a storycontent. Can anybody tell me if it is showing now in Firefox?
David, you may want to download the trial version of TopStyle Pro, this will make editing your stylesheets (and HTML pages for that matter) a lot easier on you, your hair and your fingernail! Once you fall in love with its power, you will come to believe that its $79 asking price is a bargain.
The trial version is not crippleware, it is fully functional.

Nope. Nothing: the background and the fonts are of the same colour (?or very close); unless you highlight it no text is visible
If I post my CSS codes could somebody help me. I am so not getting this. I downloaded bradsoft, and I added a color to the STORYCONTENT area. And it’s still not working…
Please, do not post it here!
Use http://pastebin.com or some similar (pastebin) service. Thank you!
#content { /* Post middle content */
float: left; /*HD Hack*/
width: 500px;
background: #ff0000; <—————-
That line makes it red, so try there ?
Okay. Here is the address to my pastebin file. It’s http://pastebin.com/445594
Any help would be apprecaited as I have changed every possible thing I can think of.
blockquote {
background: #00ff00; <———-
padding: 10px 20px;
}
You might want to make your blockquote stand out a bit more too
podz, that changed my background, and I’m trying to change the text, but now I know how to change the background if I ever want too. LOL
Thanks for the blockquote suggestion. I actually changed it to blue. I really appreciate all the help you guys are giving me.
Update. somehow I turned all my text red. Just wanted to provide an update. LOL
