In reply to: How do you hide tags in Eximius?If you look on line 10 in the index.php file and search for “Tag” you will find the portion of the code that displays the “tags”.
Comment out that section or remove the parts you do not want displayed.
PS: You may also need to address other template files such as single.php, etc.

In reply to: Display first 25 words of excerpt on index pageYou may need to address this first:
… I’m not able to access and edit any files through wordpress for some reason. So I have to do everything manually over the ftp.
… and there are numerous issues recognized at the W3C Markup Validator that may need addressing as well.
Once addressed it may be a lot easier to sort out the excerpt.

In reply to: contentThe content of posts is usually served up with either
the_content()function orthe_excerpt()function.Depending on your theme and/or page template, find and remove, or comment out, the code that is using those functions. See how that works for what you have in mind.
Remember to back up before making changes … just in case.

In reply to: Getting rid of the sidebarIf you look in your style.css file around line 168, you will find:
#content { float:left; margin:0; padding:0 20px; width:595px; }If you remove the width property it may accomplish what you are looking for … or comment it out if you wish, like this:
#content { float:left; margin:0; padding:0 20px; /* width:595px; */ }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Tagline in page title on homepage only?This would usually be theme dependent … but, generally speaking: if you locate the code in your header.php template file; and, wrap it with a conditional statement like this:
if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ){ /* Display tagline */ }Your tagline should only appear on your “home” page or your “front” page as the case may be.

In reply to: Cannot add template to page?@albill – Ah, I was under the impression you wanted to create a page template to use, not trying to use an existing one.
Glad you got it sorted out.

In reply to: Cannot add template to page?Did you find this page in the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates
The whole “trick” is adding the (example) comment section to the top of the page template’s code.

In reply to: wp_list_pages doesn’t add a distinct class to submenusThe sub-menu may not have a distinct class, but this CSS element may serve the same purposes for you:
div#pagemenu ul#page-list li ul { /* Your proprerties here */ }Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Image breaks borderYou can edit your style.css file at line 77 to:
.post_content p { margin:0 0 1em; overflow-x:auto; }The
overflowproperty will create an automatic horizontal scroll bar as needed. You can also useoverflow:auto;as well which will create vertical scroll bars as needed. My preference would be with the example I wrote above.Forum: Themes and Templates
