In reply to: Wishing To Move Header PositionHi Chris,
I just checked your website and everything appears to be in the correct place now.
Perhaps you have a caching plugin running on your site that is delaying the changes?
Good luck with the blog 🙂

In reply to: Wishing To Move Header PositionThis is the original code:
#headimg { clear: both; display: block; overflow: hidden; width: 976px; }Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Wishing To Move Header PositionHi Chris,
Are you using a child theme or trying to replace code in the parent theme’s style.css file?
If your doing the latter please revert your changes as you can easily break your site’s layout this way.
To add extra CSS to your theme always use a child theme, your theme’s custom CSS area or a plugin such as Simple Custom CSS – NEVER edit your theme’s style.css directly.
That could be why your not seeing any changes.
Please add the code snippet I gave you to your theme’s custom css area:
Appearance -> Theme Options -> Custom CSS
Let me know how it goes 🙂

In reply to: Wishing To Move Header PositionHi Chris!
Is this the kind of effect your trying to achieve?
If so you can use this snippet of code:
#headimg { float: right; margin-top: -160px; width: 70%; }You can paste this in Appearance -> Theme Options -> Custom CSS (or in your child theme’s style.css).
I hope that helps!

In reply to: I need a WYSIWYG theme to save my sanityHi Andrew,
It’s good to hear you are making progress with WordPress.
Here are a few WordPress tips for you:
1. When you are choosing a theme be sure to check out the Forums and see if support questions are being answered.
Some theme developers are better at this than others and it can make a big difference to your success with a particular theme (especially as a beginner).
2. After you have chosen your theme create a child theme straight away before you make any customizations. You will inevitably, at some point have to make CSS and/or PHP changes to get the website looking and working exactly how you want it. Having a child theme ready to ‘copy and paste’ code will make things a lot easier in the long run.
3. Choose a Theme and stick with it – as all themes are different you can find yourself ‘climbing the mountain’ again and again if you switch themes. After all, they are really just a starting point. Once you have been working with a particular theme for awhile you’ll get used to how it is structured. This familiarity will make it easier for you to change this without going insane :-).
Good luck on your WordPress journey!
Cheers,

In reply to: 'This theme is broken. The parent theme is missing'Could be, I’m not sure.
As it’s a premium theme there is no way for me to look at it and tell you, hence using their own support forums.
Glad you got it working again 🙂

In reply to: 'This theme is broken. The parent theme is missing'As this is a premium theme please use their support forums:
http://themextemplates.com/support/
You could try deleting the child theme (via FTP) and starting over.

In reply to: 'This theme is broken. The parent theme is missing'Look’s like your missing the
Text-Domainpart./* Theme Name: YourThemeName Child Theme URI: http://yourthemesurl.com Description: YourThemeName Child Theme Author: YourName Author URI: http://yourwebsite.com Template: Name of the Parent Theme Version: 1.0.0 Text Domain: your-childtheme-name */ /* =Theme customization starts here -------------------------------------------------------------- */and your functions.php file :
<?php add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX); function enqueue_child_theme_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' ); wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('parent-style') ); }But it look’s like ‘Makery’ is a premium theme so perhaps the Theme authors could help you with support. These forums are really for the free themes available at the WordPress repository.
I hope that helps.

In reply to: [Zerif Lite] Edit Post Styling/LookI think this code snippet will do the trick for you:
.entry-meta, .entry-footer { display: none; } .site-content { background-color: #???; }You’ll need to replace the ??? with your hex-code for the off-white color you want.
You could use a tool like HTML Color Codes to help you if your unsure.
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: I need a WYSIWYG theme to save my sanityHi there!
Sorry to hear you are having problems with WordPress.
There are a ton of themes that allow you to upload a custom logo image.
For example:
Responsive
Minamaze
Zerif Liteand many, many more.
If your don’t want to do any manual code edits for fonts you could try the
WP Google Fonts plugin.
There are some ‘visual editors’ (kinda WYSIWYG) available for WordPress but you’ll probably have to pay for them.
If you have any specific problems with a theme I’m sure we can help you out here.
I hope that helps!

Hi there!
To make the wrapper background transparent on the evolve theme try this snippet of code:
#wrapper { background: rgba(0,0,0,0); } .header { background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); }Then target the body for your image, i.e.
body { background-image: url("mywebsite.com/myimage.jpg"); }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: 'This theme is broken. The parent theme is missing'Hi there!
Were you trying to create a child theme when this happened?
If not could you explain what you were trying to achieve when this happened.

In reply to: [Zerif Lite] Edit Post Styling/LookHi there!
What exactly would you like to change?
Perhaps we can help you out with some custom CSS if the option is not available in Appearance -> Customize.

In reply to: [i-max] Changing Menu hover colorHi there!
If you go to Appearance -> Customize and go to ‘Layout Options’ you can change the primary color which modifies the nav bar color and link hover color.
If you just wanted to change the hover color but not the nav bar color you could try this snippet of CSS:
.nav-container .current_page_item > a, .nav-container .current_page_ancestor > a, .nav-container .current-menu-item > a, .nav-container .current-menu-ancestor > a, .nav-container li a:hover, .nav-container li:hover > a, .nav-container li a:hover, ul.nav-container ul a:hover, .nav-container ul ul a:hover { background-color: #???; }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 🙂
