In reply to: [Arcade Basic] Add content above Footer?Hi Angela,
That looks better but I think you have one mistake:
Template: arcade-basic(all lowercase with a hyphen)
If it’s not like that WordPress won’t understand what theme your referencing.
It’s okay for you to create the files at your host or with an FTP program – it doesn’t matter which piece of software you use.
FileZilla – you can create the folder on your desktop and upload it or you can create the folder within FileZilla:
After you have logged in to your remote site right click and select ‘Create Directory’.
If you do it on your desktop be careful to choose the correct file extension when you ‘save as’ –
style.cssandfunctions.php– if they save as .txt files it won’t work.Once you have the child theme working you’ll need to copy the footer.php file from your parent theme folder into your child theme folder.
Let us know how it goes. 🙂
Cheers,
Luke

In reply to: [Arcade Basic] Add content above Footer?Hi Angela,
Sounds like a problem with your child theme’s style.css file .
It should look similar to this:
/* Theme Name: Arcade Basic Child Description: Arcade Basic Child Theme Template: arcade-basic Text Domain: arcade-basic-child */ /* Theme customization starts here -------------------------------------------------------------- */Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Arcade Basic] Add content above Footer?Your welcome.
The custom CSS area is only for CSS styling (colors, layout, fonts etc.)
As you want to include actual content (words, pictures etc.) you’ll need to edit the php files.
If you do this without creating a child theme you’ll be at risk of losing your changes when the theme updates, hence the need to do that first.
Hope that makes sense 🙂 Good luck!

In reply to: [Pilcrow] Adjust Sidebar to 300Hi there!
That’s because your page is in a ‘container’ that is constrained to 740px max width so the sidebar is being pushed down.
Try increasing the the max-width and it should pop back up to the top.
.two-column #container { max-width: 987px; }You can paste this code in your child theme’s style.css or in a custom css plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.
I hope that helps!

In reply to: [Atout] Removing meta from pages?Hi there!
I took a look at your site and was able to remove the date/author info on pages using this snippet of code:
.page .post-meta { display: none; }You can paste this code in your child theme’s style.css or in a custom css plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.
I hope that helps!

In reply to: [Arcade Basic] Add content above Footer?Hi Angela,
You dont’ need to paste anything in your custom CSS, not yet anyway.
It’s a bit of a long process I’m afraid but not too complex 🙂 You’ll need to use an FTP program (such as FileZilla or Cyberduck) or Cpanel’s Filemanager.
Please follow these steps:
1. Set up a child theme – see details at the codex or watch a tutorial here.
2. Copy the templates/footer.php file from your theme folder into your child theme folder.
3. Add your content to the top of your templates/footer.php file.
If you get stuck feel free to ask questions and I’ll do my best to help you out.

In reply to: [Arcade Basic] Add content above Footer?Hi there!
The first thing you need to do is create a child theme so your changes are not lost when your theme updates.
Then you should copy the templates/footer.php file into your child theme folder.
You can now edit the file and place your content right at the top of the file. i.e.
<h1>THIS IS SOME TEXT TO APPEAR ON EVERY PAGE</h1> <footer id="containerfooter" class="footerclass" role="contentinfo">…
I hope that helps!

In reply to: Changing Code in Fifteen Plus ThemeHi there,
I think I can help you out:
1. Change the Page Header
The page header (home) is a H1 tag – you can either change the font size of all H1’s :
h1, .h1 { font-size: ?px; }or just the ‘page header’ :
.container.single-entry-title { font-size: ??px; }2. Reduce the space between the logo and the menu
There is some space below the logo for social icons – this is what is creating the unwanted gap.
#social-icons { display: none; }3. Change page background color to white
Try this:
.single #content, .page #content { background: #fff; } #primary { background: #fff; }You can paste this code in your child theme’s style.css or in a custom css plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.
I hope that helps!

In reply to: [Hueman] Header menuHi there!
Yes, it is possible to change the header menu color. You can adjust the background color of the header menu using this code:
#nav-header.nav-container { background: #???; }You can paste this code in your child theme’s style.css or in a custom css plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.
I hope that helps!

In reply to: [Virtue] Metaslider > marginGreat! I’m glad it worked for you 🙂
There were two elements that created the gap.
Removing the margin from the first one almost closed it but there was 15px of space left, which was removed by reducing the padding on one of the container elements.
