I love the Sugar & Spice theme, and would like to work with the theme fonts and colors. I want my home page to look like the theme page, is it possible to use the same lovely peach font color in my titles as well as the Sugar & Spice Header font? How would I be able to find out what the theme font is and the code for the peach and emerald? Thank you!

Hello,
thank you so so much!! I am so relieved that this thread is still open, I thought it had been closed. Thank you for replying so soon, this really is so very kind! May I ask you, I found this plugin:Header and Footer from satollo.net, is that the one you mean? Is it ok if it says it hasn’t been tested yet with my version of wordpress?

I had added robots.txt to my root document folder, as I don’t want search engines to find me at all. If I uncheck the Search Engine Visibility, will I still be able not to be found or am I allowing search engines then to find me? I don’t want to be found by any search engines, bots,spiders, crawlers and whatever else there is, as my site needs to stay completely private and as hidden and protected as possible. I am a little confused about everything, these massive attempts on my website frightened me!

Thank you so very much for looking regarding the custom CSS, but what I still don’t understand is that the custom CSS is only accessible through the dashboard. How then can it be viewed?

May I kindly ask you, too, what mean these attempts on my administrator/index.php and wp-includes/class.wp-date.php, author, etc?

Is there something I should use in addition to Wordfence? Should I best hide the wp login? Which plugin would you recommend? I apologize, so many questions at once but I am so thankful for your support and advice. I added IQ Block Country (but Russia still attacks), Block Bad Queries, Stop User Enumeration and Captcha from BWS. What would you suggest?
I saw plugins such as Bulletproof, all in one wp security, sucuri, but as I am using Wordfence I wouldn’t need these, would I?

Is there anything else I can do to secure my site? All I need it to be is my online portfolio visible only to those who receive my link.

Thank you ever so much again!

Hello,

I am not sure if this is a Sugar & Spice theme issue or not, I hope it’s ok to ask this question here! I installed IQ Block country but it does not seem to work. It shows the correct installation but nothing shows up in the logging and it says 0 countries blocked. If this is not the right forum then I apologize, I was wondering if it may have to do with my theme. Thank you again!

Hello again,
Something suddenly changed on my website without my doing. I am using widgets in the sidebar, and at the very bottom of the last widget, which is an image, I added a site origin image but no image just to get that beautiful fine double line divider at the bottom of my image, like a border. Today, suddenly it has the word “home” written between the divider, although it did not show before. How can I get rid of it? Before I just had the gray double lines with an empty space between, which looked perfect. This is what Firebug shows:<span>Home>/span> and on the right hand side: .widget-title span {
background: #ffffff;
padding: 0 6px;

.widget-title em {
color: #F9AA89;

Is it at all possible just for that particular widget to change the color to ffffff? Or make home completely disappear with custom css? I do not understand why suddenly home shows, I made no changes to my website. Unfortunately I do not know how just to add the divider with custom css, which is why I added a site origin image widget. I would be so grateful for your kind help!
This is what it looks like: ————home—————- (roughly)

Thank you very much.

If this may help, I think this is all the coding for that divider:
<div class=”so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-3f547a15eaaa”>
<h3 class=”widget-title”><span>Home</span></h3>
<div class=”sow-image-container”>

</div>

</div>

I love the dividers in Sugar and Spice, especially the gray dotted band of the menu and above the footer, but also the dividers used in the sidebar widgets. Is it at all possible to add just the divider with no title in the middle? I looked everywhere in Editor, but I could not find it and would not know how to use it. I hope this may help, thank you so much again!

Hi, Fleurette:

Can you let me know exactly which plugin you are using for the SiteOrigin widget? I activated SiteOrigin Page Builder, but it doesn’t seem to come with any widgets, and when I search the plugin repository, I see a lot of different results for SiteOrigin widgets.

Hello, thank you for responding. The two plugins I am using are Page Builder by SiteOrigin and SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle version 1.7.2. Among their long list of widgets is the SiteOrigin Image widget and the Visual Editor. Thank you!

Thanks, I installed the plugins bundle and added an image widget to my sidebar with no image. I think the word Home that you are seeing is coming from the title of your home page. That is, because you didn’t add an actual image, the widget is displaying the page title. If you were to visit another page, I think the word Home would change to the title of the page that you are on.

To get rid of that title, but still display the line, try adding these CSS rules:
```
.so-widget-sow-image h3 span {
   display: none;
}
.so-widget-sow-image h3 {
   height: 14px;
}
```

Thank you, it works, thank you so much!! I was wondering, you know that beautiful gray line with the dark gray dots which lines the menu and is also at the bottom of the Sugar and Spice theme, – it is not something that could be used as a divider within the theme, could it? The theme is so lovely. Thank you again for helping me to display the line in the widget!

You’re welcome. It may be possible to use that image, but how do you want to use it as a divider? Between your blog posts?

I was thinking perhaps as the line at the bottom of my last widget. I am sorry I can’t send a link to my page, but perhaps I can explain: I have images at the bottom of the home page, side by side, and another in the widget. I am using box shadow for the images, as a sort of frame, but the image in the widget does not have that. To have all images show with a sort of “bottom line” I am using a divider at the bottom of the last widget so that it looks unison. Below that is that lovely line from the theme above the footer. It would be a lovely divider to use anywhere, with a blog or below a widget, but is it really possible?
May I ask something additional? I am also using the SiteOrigin Slider, all my images are the same size and it works very well. (I am using it in the sidebar). The only thing I notice is that when one first looks at the page the sidebar slightly shifts down between the first and second image but then stays steady all throughout the remaining images. But the first and second image are identical as well in size etc. It’s no big deal, but I was wondering if perhaps you may know why it is happening? I’d prefer it not to move at all, but am not sure if it is just the way the slider is? Thank you so much!

You should be able to use the image as a divider. For example, if you add this rule:
```
.widget:last-child:after {
   content: '';
   width: 100%;
   height: 6px;
   display: block;
   background: url(images/menu-border.png) repeat-x top left;
}
```
This should place the border at the bottom of just the last widget. If you want it after all of the widgets, you can remove the :last-child part of the selector. You should be able to use the same rule with different selectors to place image as the bottom border.

As far as the slider goes, I tried adding the SiteOrigin slider to my sidebar but couldn’t get it to display. Not sure why, maybe I didn’t set up the frames correctly.

Thank you very much again, unfortunately I could not get it to work, nothing showed, it stayed blank, even though I added it to custom CSS exactly as you wrote it. I appreciate very much that you tried the slider, thank you. I am not quite sure why the image doesn’t show as divider?

Hello,

I cannot get the IQ Block Country to work alongside Wordfence. I am getting Russian attacks again to my front end, this time to my RSS feed. As this is a private site, is there a way to disable the Feed?
Can it be disabled with custom CSS? I am also uncertain why viewers to my frontend can see the custom CSS?
I would be so very grateful for your help!

Thank you again

Hello,

I would be so thankful for some advice regarding SSL and redirect. I am using my site as online portfolio, is an SSL necessary? How do you do a redirect in WordPress if I decide to purchase a SSL? Would I have to do it for each page separately or can it be done for the entire site?

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately I don’t know anything about implementing SSL on a site, but you may want to check out this plugin. As far as whether or not it is necessary, I think added security is always a plus, and Google will rank your site higher, in case that is something you desire. Now that I’ve seen your message, I’m considering getting SSL for one of my sites (a non-profit), since it accepts online donations.
