<?php _e('some text '); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

</div>

its cool as long as the problem is solved 🙂

the only difference i can see is just the adminbar background color ?
and since you are using buddypress what i did with buddypress for my adminbar styling was i totally removed it and replaced it with wp admin bar

so it could be in ur case as well what happened for me was wp admin bar was overlapping in dashboard area so i used this code

<?php
/*
** The following removes BP admin bar and replaces it with the WP admin bar
*/

function remove_bp_adminbar(){
     remove_action( 'wp_footer', 'bp_core_admin_bar', 8 );
     remove_action( 'admin_footer', 'bp_core_admin_bar');
     show_admin_bar(true);
}
add_action('after_setup_theme','remove_bp_adminbar');
?>

i still cant see why u changed so many classes there were only 7 or 8 of them which would have done the trick.

These are the only two classes which i needed to change for the background color

#wpadminbar
{
		height:45px;
		padding-top:5px;
		background: #D4DCEA;
		 box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);

}
#wpadminbar .ab-top-secondary
{
			background: #D4DCEA;
}

But i have added it in both style and functions file (i have child theme for my buddypress

Is that text a static text ?
if it is a theme i am assuming it would have its own portfolio theme page instead of default theme page.
So you might have to go into that page just before the post loops start add your text.

the better option would be to posting your site link and pointing it exactly to where u would want it to get more accurate help, as right now we r just throwing arrows in air

if u can ftp, do you see your theme folder in wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder ?

could u get to put just a basic static hello world page and try doing http://yoursitedomain.com and see if u can see that page

when u do http://example.com
what does it show ? blank page? error ?

and i couldnt understand but
http://example.com/blog (the wordpress works fine right? )

🙂 great cheers
