In reply to: Altered CSS sheet for bold text but no effectAdditional note: Actually you probably won’t have to “apply” the bold style to your paragraphs. I only mentioned it in case you are not seeing it still after checking a test entry on your actual site. It seems like WordPress is doing a better job these days of sensing paragraphs without actually putting p tags around the text. Also, a reminder, you may not see the bold while you are in the visual editor, but check your page before you assume its not. It is probably still showing in your actual site.

In reply to: Altered CSS sheet for bold text but no effectYeah, thats why I said I would only put it in the body if you wanted absolutely everything bolded.
If you still have that plug-in, I would just put this code into it and take out the body stuff you put in there:
p {
font-weight: bold;
}If you really want to put it in the main style sheet (styles.css) instead, there are many places you can put it, I would start with putting it near the beginning. There is a commented section that says reset. Then below that is a general declaration for html, body, div, span etc. (a long string of em). Below that is a body declaration for line height. I would put it right there just below the body area (the code I just gave you).
If you are still new at this, there is a potential to make simple errors, which is why I recommend just using the plug-in.When you do want to apply this bold style to the content that you enter in your pages and posts, you need to select the paragraph style from the little drop menu in your visual editor. This is in the second row of buttons at the top of your visual editor on the left side. If you don’t see the second row of buttons (this is hidden by default) then toggle the last button in the first row and it opens up the second row for you.
You’ll get this CSS stuff eventually if you keep working on it. It sounds like you are well on your way 🙂

In reply to: Missing "home"-tab in menuWhat theme are you using?

In reply to: Missing "home"-tab in menuHiya 🙂
You can add the home page to your menu by going to Appearance > Menus. Even though you didn’t set this menu up here it should still show it. (I think) There should be a drop down showing the different menus available here. Make sure the menu you want to add the home page to is in the main area. Then there is a small box to the left that says pages at the top. Find the tab inside that box that says “View All” and click on it. Check the home box and then the button underneath that says add to the menu.
Hope this helps

In reply to: Altered CSS sheet for bold text but no effectIf you put it in the body section near the beginning, it should work, unless its being over-ridden by something further down the page or somehwere else in the site. It may not show in your actual editor but it should show on your site when you view your page. I would only put it in the body section if you truly want all text everywhere in the site to be bold.
I couldn’t tell from my end if it would work for sure in the beginning mainly because it would still be bold since you’ve more specifically already made your pages bold with the editor. That will over-ride your basic body declaration. Sometimes you need to play with it a little because each theme does things differently.

Normally you would put your CSS edit in the style.css file. And you are correct, a child theme would be best practice. I understand not wanting to go through all that for just one or two changes. Another option would be to use a plug-in like Simple Custom CSS, which I use for small changes like that. It gives you a separate area to put CSS changes in that will not change with a theme update etc.
Just a side note, reading long blocks of bolded text can be hard on the eyes of some peeps. If you want to keep your readers, actually reading longer, you may want to re-consider the all bold thing. Just a friendly suggestion. I know we all have different opinions 🙂

In reply to: Background Image won't show up SKT Full Width ThemeHiya 🙂
Yeah I can see that CSS also. Real quickly, I tried to change a few options on a test site with your theme, uploaded and then removed some images etc. but it didn’t change anything.
If it was me I would contact the theme developer, there is an email for their support that you can see if you choose theme options.
One quick question just to rule it out, did you do anything like add a plug-in, remove a plug-in, switch themes and come back to this one, update something etc. right before it happened?

In reply to: [Spacious] Comments boxHiya 🙂
If you go to where you would edit your page, at the top is a little white button that says screen options. If you click this open it shows some boxes you can check. Make sure the discussion box is checked. This will put a box with discussion options down on the edit area. Then find that Discussion box somewhere down below where you enter content. There should be an option that says “allow comments”. Check this to allow comments on your page.
Hope this helps 🙂

In reply to: Cannot remove header text and text box (Argent theme)First, you probably don’t need to add any code. I tried on a test site with your theme and although you see a box when you delete the text, when you actually put the header image in it doesn’t show anymore. (At least it didn’t when i tested it). Maybe you can try that first.
If not, the easiest way to make a simple CSS change without going into some in depth information on making a child theme and editing your style.css file, is to download a plug-in called Simple Custom CSS. This plug-in gives you a simple place to put a little CSS into an area that won’t disappear if you update your Theme. I use this plug-in alot when I know I’m just going to make a few simple CSS changes.

In reply to: TwentyEleven: Make the widget meny widerHiya 🙂 Your primary area is still at 100% so its pushing that down. Try 70% since you have the secondary area at 30% now.
#primary {
width: 70%;

In reply to: [coherent] Homepage isn't showing my postsHiya 🙂
It looks like you have your home page button going to a page named home-3, and not the blog roll as WordPress sets it up. Since you said you have your front page set to show the latest posts, WordPress already has a default home page with a custom link to your blog roll. You don’t need to “make” a home page too.
You just need to get the right home page (the one WordPress made) back in your menu. You won’t find it listed under your pages. Its just made “behind the scenes”.
I recommend, unless you need to keep them, that you delete any home pages that you made.
Then, go to your menu area: menu > appearance.
Whichever menu you are using as your main menu, make sure that is showing in the main area.
In the small “pages” box to the left click on the “View All”tab.
If there is only one home there, click it and add it to your menu. If it is showing more than one, click them all to add to the menu. Once you do, it will be easier to identify which one is the blog roll because it should say custom link on it. Then either delete or remove all the other “home” buttons, while keeping the home that says custom link on it.
Hope this helps.
