    How can I get the menu to be centered?

    I centered the header text but that also made every other heading centered as well, can I fix it so only the main header is centred?

    I removed all the widgets through the dashboard, but it’s replaced them with default ones that I can’t remove in the dashboard – how do I get rid of them?

    And also, I managed to get rid of the sidebar on the left, which was only useful for posts. Is it possible to have it so the blog still has that sidebar, but the other pages don’t? Do I need to create two stylesheets, one for pages and another for the blog?

    Finally, is editing the main theme CSS ok or will I eventually need to move all my changes to a child theme?

    Ah, done the borders now… it’s shaping up nicely!

    How can I get the grey menu borders to stretch across the whole column?

    I ended up downloading the style.css from Minimalizine and making my changes to the one in use. If something goes wrong, I’ll just replace it with the downloaded one.

    Got it like this at the moment http://www.peterchamberlaincann.co.uk

    Ok, I’ve found that part of the stylesheet needs to be changed to this:

    #page {
        background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F5F5F5;
        margin: 0 auto;
        padding: 3.6em;
        width: 720px;
    }

    But how do I change that using the child theme? I copied that into the child css and it didn’t do anything.

    Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS troubleshooting. Or use whatever developer tool is available in your web browser.

    Ok thanks. I’ve dabbled with it in the past.

    .entry-title, a {

    }

    I’ll have to change the background colour to see if the margins worked cos it reset to white, but what should entry-title have done?

    Ok, I’ll try and get that sorted once I’ve made all the changes.

    The big one I’d love to sort is the spacing. On .com, everything was nicely spaced out, whereas it’s more cramped on .org.

    Ok great, I will try that.

    It’s not possible to transfer over followers/stats from .com is it?

    Also, what should I do with my WordPress.com site?

    I imported all the posts and images from .com to .org. If I delete everything from .com, will that erase the content from .org as well?

    Ok, I’ve tried creating a child theme. The CSS is like this at the moment:

    /*
    Theme Name: Minimalizine Child
    Theme URI: http://peterchamberlaincann.co.uk
    Author: Rizqy Hidayat/Peter Chamberlain Cann
    Author URI: http://hirizh.name/
    Template: Minimalizine
    Version: 1.0.0
    Tags: gray, light, two-columns, custom-menu, featured-images, fixed-width, custom-background, theme-options, threaded-comments, translation-ready
    Text Domain: minimalizine-child
    */
    
    @import url("../minimalizine/style.css");
    
    /* =Theme customization starts here

    But I get “The parent theme is missing” under Broken Themes in the dashboard. The child theme is located in public_html/wp-content/themes/minimalizine-child and the parent is public_html/wp-content/themes/minimalizine.

    Anyone?

    I’ve been looking at the margins in the css and haven’t got a clue. I think I might be better off picking a whole new theme, but keeping the fonts and colours because they’re part of my “brand” ?
