    Jan! you are some kind of real life hero! i feel much better now…

    The day is starting to get very busy and I must leave the computer now but i will be back tomorrow to go through your advice properly and sort this out. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me, you are surely an excellent example

    thank you for you advice but i am still lost at sea!!

    yes, I am using the Twenty Ten theme 1.1

    I am sent a backup file once a week but i have no idea how to apply it. It ends with ‘.sql.gz’ and that completely baffles me!

    But surely the things I am asking to change are pretty standard proceedures??! Have a look: http://44calibreshakespeare.com/

    I just want to go backwards!!! I have also noticed that it has positioned all the text into a smaller colum, leaving alot of blank space either side which is really annoying. I am NEVER updating my wordpress again!

    I do not want to mess around with the theme because i have done a huge amount of work on altering backgrounds, headers etc. and i do not want to jeapordise them as often even simply viewing a page in the visual editor changes the site.
    p.s. jaguarcy, thank you for the suggestion but it does not appear to affected any of my plugins!

    Wow – you are AMAZING!! Yes – I was learning about HTML and so I was testing out a theory to see if I could put some ‘meta data’ on a page that no one else would have and then see if search engines would pick it up and thereby affirm that I was putting in meta data correctly! I knew the search engines would take a few days to gather any intel so I left it and forgot all about it – you are a smart guy! Thanks very much, I have removed sed code and now it no longer refreshes the whole time. MUCH appreciated, thanks buddy. H

    Sorry, but I DARE NOT!! It certainly never used to do that, so I think it’s safe to assume it is something to do with changes made.

    Any other ideas??

    I always appreciate a helping hand,

    thanks for all the help but i’m still not getting anywhere. Is there anyone I can hire (pay) to do some work on my website? Where do I find someone like that?

    ah yes, i am starting to learn a little now, thank you for being so patient with me.

    as you directed i went to the ‘widgetized area’ and found the ‘WP wall widget’ there which I dragged and dropped into the ‘primary widget area’. I also went to the ‘sidebar.php’ html code in editor and copied the ‘<?php if (function_exists(‘WPWall_Widget’)) WPWall_Widget(); ?>’ inbetween the two lines of code you showed me.

    I still don’t understand how to get a comment box onto my desired page, or any other for that matter. Are you sure there is no way i can just use some bit of code, for instance [insert widget area] or [inserte widgetarea ‘Wall x’] or something to put the comment box on an actual page??

    thanks for all the help, i feel like a beggar and you are the only person kind enough to throw me some change 🙂

    thanks buddy, because that seems like EXACTLY what I wanted – only problem is, it doesn’t seem to work??!

    I went to the website and it said copy and paste this bit of text;

    <?php if (function_exists(‘WPWall_Widget’)) WPWall_Widget(); ?>

    ‘into your sidebar’ but I don’t know what the ‘sidebar’ is – if he means the menu on the side of any given page, I have disabled that to just have a menu across the top (http://44calibreshakespeare.com/forum/). Can’t I just paste that bit of code onto the page HTML and it will put the comment box there??

    thank you so much because you definately gave me the right answer but it stings to be so close and I still can’t quite figure it out!!

    would be even better if there was some kind of ‘swear word blocker’ but not essential

    I used by brain:

    COPY & PASTE THIS CODE INTO THE HTML EDITOR OF THE PAGE YOU WISH TO CHANGE THE BACKGROUND IN. THIS WILL NOT EFFECT YOUR OTHER PAGES AND THIER DEFAULT BACKGROUND:

    <?php if (is_page(‘PAGEINQUESTION’) ):
    // PAGEINQUESTION>
    <style type=”text/css”>
    body {background-image:url(PASTE THE FULL WEB LINK FOR DESIRED PICTURE HERE);background-repeat:repeat;}
    </style>

    N.B. ‘PAGEINQUESTION’ is just the extra name added to your web-address, the same name that you see automatically added when you start a new page and underneath there is your webaddress and a ‘little extension’.

    Hey buddy, I have exactly the same question – did you find out how to do it? I have used the traditional way of setting the main background through appearance settings but I want a different background on a few different pages… H
