In reply to: How to? – Resize Main Logo in Sydney themeHi there,
I think it’s just because you have a lot of empty space around your logo within the image file…
If you crop the image so it’s tight around the actual logo. Like this:
It will display at a more appropriate size on your site…
I hope that helps!

In reply to: [evolve] Center title and taglineHi there,
Is this what you trying to achieve?
If, so try this:
.title-container { margin: 15px auto; width: 300px; }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: links to other links from slider tabsHi Michael,
What plugin are you using to display the slider?
If you can edit the html of the slider (perhaps in the slider settings panel) you should be able to turn them into a link.
Alternatively post a link to your site so it is easier for us to see what is going on. It’s hard to tell from just a screenshot.
Cheers,

In reply to: [Sporty] Change header colour from blackHi there!
Sure, you certainly can change those colors 🙂 You don’t need to create a child theme for this just install a plugin.
1. In your admin dashboard navigate to : Plugins -> Add New
2. In the search box at the top right type ‘Simple Custom CSS’
3. It should be the first one that comes up – click on ‘Install Now’
4. Once it’s installed click on ‘Activate Plugin’
5. Now go to Appearance -> Custom CSS
6. Where it says ‘Enter your Custom CSS’ paste in this code:
.site-header .site-introduction { background-color: navy; } .main-navigation { background-color: navy; background-image: none; } .widget-title { background-color: navy; }7. Click on ‘Update Custom CSS’
You should end up with this result:
I hope that helps 🙂

Hi there!
There is no way to do that on the WordPress.org forums I’m afraid. Sharing contact info is also against the rules! 🙂
I’m doing something similar with the responsive theme at the moment:
Is that the sort of thing you are trying to achieve?
Also, there are several menu locations in the responsive theme – which one are you using?
Top Menu
Header Menu
Sub Header MenuLet me know and I’ll do my best to guide you through the process.

In reply to: Help regarding setting up a Photographers Portfolio BlogHi there!
There are many ways you could achieve the functionality you are looking for.
Here is a list of Free WordPress Photography Themes that you might find useful.
You could create a separate ‘category’ for each photographer to display the pictures of an individual photographer on a particular page.
Some Slider Plugins – such as Master Slider – allow you to query certain categories and display them as slides. So you could use this to create a slider for each photographer.
To create a masonry layout (similar to 500px) you could try this plugin: Masonry Layout
For the photographers to login a you could create accounts for them with ‘Author’ privileges so they can upload and edit posts but not change the core features of the site.
I hope that helps!

In reply to: Looking for a specific kind of them, can you help?Hi there!
Is this the kind of layout you are trying to achieve?
I’m not aware of a theme that has that exact layout but you could quite quickly create it with a flexible theme such as Responsive.
You could use a slider plugin for the latest blogs at the top. This one is free and very feature-rich:
I hope that helps!

In reply to: HELP Installing/Editing a WP ThemeHi,
Installing themes is a straight forward process and depending on the level of modifications you want to make a child theme is worth considering.
Unfortunately, due to forum rules I cannot send you those details.
You might consider posting your project here: http://jobs.wordpress.net/
I hope that helps!

You can install and activate themes within WordPress by going to your Admin Dashboard under Appearance -> Themes.
Here you can search for themes found in the WordPress repository or upload your own theme.
What kind of modifications do you want to make?
Good luck with your site!

I just took a look at your site and it seems to be working properly. Did you perhaps fix the problem with the missing files?
This page of the codex should help you out with the changing url/moving directories:

In reply to: Looking For Specific Style Page TemplateHi Muriel!
There are many ways you could achieve this depending on your skill level and the amount of flexibility you need. Here’s a couple of options for you:
1) The simplest way would probably be to design this layout in your page editor using a few shortcodes for layout and a full-width template (i.e. no-sidebar).
or
2) You could create a ‘custom post type’ so you have additional fields in your post editor for the intro text, sub-page section and more text section. This would be especially useful if you need to change/add new content to the manual regularly.
I hope you find that helpful…let’s us know how it goes 🙂
Cheers,
Luke
