 * Hello,
 * I’ve just replaced the previous theme with the new one and I can’t do a few things
   on my own:
 * 1. I want to remove main images that are behind the titles of posts. I found 
   tip on this forum, that I should change image line “block” to “none”. It worked,
   BUT first post came into the menu bar, next post came into “continue reading”
   form previous post and so on. How can I remove photos correctly?
 * 2. I want to extend (widen) the main column (with text of posts). Maybe move 
   it a little bit to the left, because there is plenty of free space there.
 * 3. I want to change “continue reading” to something else. I changed all “continue
   reading” lines, which I found, and yet I still see original English. I want to
   do the same with the “older / newest posts”.
 * Blog address: [http://livingonmyown.pl](http://livingonmyown.pl)
 * Thanks in advance.
 * P.S. Please use easy English and not too technical language, because I’m a layman.

 * Hi there – I’ll answer your questions separately:
 * > 1. I want to remove main images that are behind the titles of posts. I found
   > tip on this forum, that I should change image line “block” to “none”. It worked,
   > BUT first post came into the menu bar, next post came into “continue reading”
   > form previous post and so on. How can I remove photos correctly?
 * Sounds like you’re referring to the featured image on each post. Do you want 
   to remove them on the blog page, single posts, or both?
 * Adding this to your child theme’s stylesheet should work for the blog page:
 *     ```
       .blog .post-thumbnail img {
           display: none;
       }
       .blog .post-thumbnail {
           margin-top: 40px;
       }
       ```
   
 * The margin-top piece makes sure the top of the post doesn’t overlap or bump into
   other elements, and you can adjust the value from 40 pixels as you like. Let 
   me know if it does the trick and if you also want to remove the featured image
   on single posts too.

 * To install Sela correctly in Polish, you’ll need to follow a few steps, since
   Sela isn’t fully translated into Polish and so isn’t included already with what
   you downloaded from WordPress.org. (If you look in Sela’s languages folder, you’ll
   see the languages that were included by default.)
 * 1. To add a Polish language file for Sela to your site, first head to GlotPress:
 * [https://translate.wordpress.com/projects/wpcom/themes/sela/pl/default](https://translate.wordpress.com/projects/wpcom/themes/sela/pl/default)
 * 2. From the dropdown menu at the bottom left, choose the .mo file format option,
   and click Export to download the Polish translation file and save it on your 
   hard drive:
 * [⌊Translations Polish Sela GlotPress⌉⌊Translations Polish Sela GlotPress⌉[
 * 3. Rename the file **sela-pl_PL.mo** on your hard drive.
 * 4. [Upload the file](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) to your site in 
   this spot in your WordPress install:
 * /wp-content/languages/themes/sela-pl_PL.mo
 * I just tested this on my site and “Continue reading” is now showing in Polish:
 * [⌊Blog Sela 1 0 10 by Automattic⌉⌊Blog Sela 1 0 10 by Automattic⌉[

 * My colleague Richard noticed that you’re missing a **closing curly bracket** }
   on many of your child theme’s CSS statements:
 * [http://livingonmyown.pl/wp-content/themes/sela-child/style.css](http://livingonmyown.pl/wp-content/themes/sela-child/style.css)
 * For example:
 *     ```
       .main-navigation {
         background-color: #040404;
       ```
   
 * should be:
 *     ```
       .main-navigation {
         background-color: #040404;
       }
       ```
   
 * … and so on.

 * Give this CSS from my colleague Richard a try and let me know if it does the 
   trick for you:
 *     ```
       .site-content {
           padding-left: 0;
       }
       .content-area {
           max-width: 830px;
           width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Be sure to fix all those closing curly brackets on your existing child theme 
   CSS first, otherwise the new CSS you add won’t work.

 * You’re so sweet 🙂 Big thanks for Your help and time. Now I know and I’ll remember,
   what I’ve done wrong. I didn’t know, that fragments of code must be closed with}.
   It explains a lot!

 * You’re very welcome, and happy to clarify that bit about the } in CSS!
 * I’ll mark this thread as resolved but feel free to start a new one if you need
   help with anything else.
