I want to reduce the space between the mailing list form, and the copyright notice (formerly “proudly powered by wordpress”)
You reduce the padding-top to zero on #site-generator and/or reduce the padding-bottom to zero on #supplementary.
Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS troubleshooting.
i want to move the entire object up though. including the black space of the container.
sorry I am a noob and have only been doing this for a few days. i have fire bug, and will see what it says.
i got it with margin-top: -50px
but shouldn’t there be an “overflow hidden” of something like that if i do it that way?
Try this instead:
#site-generator {
padding-top: 0;
}
#supplementary {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
But you have a bigger problem – the child theme is not set up correctly – you should only have changes in the stylesheet – not a copy of the entire parent theme file.
i want the black space to still occupy to the bottom though when viewing from firefox and on default zoom.
and yeah. i am a total noob. i made the website on the parent theme, and then couldn’t remember what i changed so i copied all of the files to the child theme. i totally don’t know what i am doing!
Getting the child theme straightened out first would be a good idea :). Otherwise you’re likely to have more/bigger problems later. Did you change any .php files or only CSS in style.css?
.php files
i am almost certain i changed the header php
and i changed whatever file said “powered by word press” im pretty sure.
mostly alignment stuff, and removing elements of the page.
initially i did not understand when visiting the forums here that when peeps were suggesting how to change things that they were referring to the .css style sheet. and whenever i found the line code then i changed it regardless of where it was located.
also i have made a change to the mailchimp plugin widget.php and the wp-config.php (when i accidentally messed up the home and siteurl in the general settings i had to add them in manually to the wp-config to recover my site.)
anything else that i might have changed i can not remember. but mostly stuff to do with hiding objects. removing lines to make them disappear and ect.
i replaced the butchered 2011 theme with a fresh download of 2011, and deleted all of the extra php files in the child theme with no problems. thanks for the heads up on that.
