In reply to: [Lovecraft] lovecraft navigation buttonsHm, what theme are you using? Have you checked under the Customizer if your theme is properly linking the navigation headers to right headers? Maybe your theme is still set to the old ones?

In reply to: Site TitleHi Ron,
It is very possible, and I have done it before.
You’re going to want to download the plugin called “Slideshow.” You can search within wordpress when you click on “Add new” on the plugin screen.
Once you’ve successfully activated the “Slideshow” plugin, you can make a slideshow by clicking on the Slideshows menu. Should be pretty straightforward, there are a lot of options but nothing too complicated. You can always tinker until you find something that works. To add the slide images, there is a section when adding a new slideshow that is called “Slides List.” That’s where you’re going to upload the slides, plus all the settings for each slideshow image.
Finally, to show the slideshow, you can goto Appearance -> Customize, and select Widgets. Under Widgets, the Charis Church theme has a section called Sidebar 2. This is the left hand sidebar, which I believe is where you want it (the small whitespace flush left of the content). Click on “+ Add a Widget” and select “Slideshow Widget.” Change the title to whatever you want (or keep it blank) and choose your newly created Slideshow. Save your changes, and you should now have the slideshow on the left sidebar.
Let me know if this works! – creativecode
Do you still have the 1.8 Thesis original files? If you do, a reinstall should be as easy as backing up your site (in case something goes wrong) and deleting Thesis theme then adding it all over again. This is assuming you’re using a child theme for your design changes, and not the parent Thesis theme. However, this should be your last resort as this can be error-prone and disruptive to a live site.
I’m wondering if Thesis is using something proprietary for your content and this is showing up when you preview a Non-Thesis theme (since it doesn’t contain any Thesis framework). Maybe Thesis is redirecting your site content to something within Thesis, and without the custom Thesis code your website defaults to a blank page.
Can you try temporarily switching themes to a non-Thesis theme? Of course, if your site is live and you can’t experiment it would be more difficult.

In reply to: [Lovecraft] lovecraft navigation buttonsCan you Right-Click and copy the link from both the working sidebar one, and the broken navigation one?
For example, say you have “About Us” on the sidebar, and “About Us” on the nav. Copy the link for both of these, and compare what’s different. It could help narrow down what’s going on.

In reply to: Site TitleYou will have to use CSS to do this.
Something like this should work for you:
.site-title { color: white; }As for the sidebar, mainly this depends on the Theme you are using. I can help you, but I’d have to know more about which one you’re using.
Does your site itself show a blank white page when you check the live site (not the preview)?
Did you change your Thesis parent theme for any reason in the past? For example, if you or someone else, even accidentally, changed a part of the Thesis core files it could lead to problems displaying the page.
Do you have any custom changes to the Thesis theme you need to keep? Otherwise, have you tried reinstalling the Thesis files?
Before you change anything, you should backup your site if you know how to. There are many plugins that can help with this, I’ve heard BackWPup Free is a great free one.
