In reply to: Theme for formatting java codeHi I’d suggest you use any theme you wish and rely solely on a good syntax highlighter plugin. There are many good ones in the plugin repo. Here’s a list.
In my own blog I use Syntaxhighlighter Evolved by Alex Gorbatchev. It’s really good, has optional plain view, fast copy to clipboard and supports many languages including Java.

In reply to: Weird table issue in TwentyElevenThe problem doesn’t rely on the display properties of span and div.
Even if they have “natural” properties (div is a block element, span is an inline element) you can easily override these settings through css as you like.Quite surely it’s a layout problem, but as esmi stated above we should not rely on tables and try to solve the issue using best practices, i.e. css.
But vdot90 before addressing the problem I’m not sure of your intent as the original poster wanted to float an image and place text (a caption) on its side, while to me you seem to be trying to place the text underneath.
Here’s a fiddle I fastly put up just to clarify what i mean.
ps- oh and it’s not dangerous to edit a style.css file as long as you’re safely using a child theme and back it up before making any change you feel uncertain about.
If Sublime is too advanced then it doesn’t mean you have to give up!
The web is full of of extremely good free software (and WordPress is one of them).
Here’s a list you might find useful.Let’s suppose you’re running Windows you could give Notepad++ a try.
Then you just need to follow a quick guide like this one, specific for the software you chose.
if you take a look at that screenshot on the top of that tutorial things should be quite clear:1. in the ‘find what’ field tell the program to look for ‘filed under’
2.in the ‘directory’ field select your theme folder (should be called ‘Minimatica’).Notepad will look into every php file where that text is to be found, open up those files and highlight the lines you need to edit.
Delete (or comment) those lines, save every file you’ve edited and test your theme.You won’t need any time consuming copy pasting and the operation should take just a moment.
Hope I’ve convinced you to keep trying.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: separate excerpt boxes with social media buttonHave you found those lines of code in your style.css?
Have you deleted them?
Have you replaced them with the code I suggested?If you do it then here’s what you get.

In reply to: Putting absoute position widget over slideshow?The widget does not not seem to cover the slideshow.
I tested it adding these settings in the CSS:.textwidget { background: blue; } #meteor-slideshow { background: orange; z-index: 0; /* be careful, yours is -1 */ }I think your problem relies in that z-index you set to -1.
Like so this div disappears behind its parent div and everything else….If you simply remove that z-index it should work.

In reply to: separate excerpt boxes with social media buttonFirst things first.
For the boxes you need to dive into your CSS stylesheets.
In this case open your style.css file in a code editor a reach #post-content around line 567. Remove some declarations such as background, padding and border. You’ll end up with this:#post-content { float: left; width: 630px; }So that div will be transparent and will just become an ‘invisible container’ of your posts, with the page background showing through.
Then around line 574 find .post and try entering something like:
.post { margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #EEE; background: #D3D3B9; /*edit this color as you wish */ }The result should be something like what you’re trying to achieve, and a good starting point for you to style your posts.
Well it depends on the theme, maybe it’s in index.php or loop.php.
As I haven’t downloaded it I don’t know but still it’s pretty simple if you do have a decent code editor, which is strongly recommended in any case when dealing with code (much better than editing directly from WP editor).
When you have it fire up a “Find in Files” and there you have it. Let your computer do the dirty work 🙂
A quick video just to get an idea.

In reply to: Theme does not display on my site anymoreWhat do you mean by “installed Custom Page”? Is it a plugin or something else?
Whatever it is have you tried deleting what you’ve added?
If you want to get rid only of the “uncategorized” category showing up read this thread.
If instead you need to chop the whole text you need to dive into your php files and delete that part.
Fastest way is to open up your theme directory with a code editor and look into its php files for ‘filed under’.
When you’ve found it simply remove that php string.Is your website online and linkable?
As you stated the demo page is not using any widget in the sidebar, so it’s difficult for us to help you out without a real demonstration of the problem.

In reply to: How to get rid of extra white space?You need to take care of the widths of your divs.
For example I see you have a ‘wrapper’ which is 1040px while the div ‘menu-header’ is 1340px. This causes the trouble in the first place.
As a rule of thumb the ‘wrapper’ gives you the max width of your content, and even if you can have something bleeding out of it at times, I would say that the most important parts of your site should never exceed this space.
Try deleting the width property of the <div class=”menu-header”> and you will see no extra white space on the right and the content centered on the page as the menu will take 100% width of the wrapper.
When everything is contained inside the wrapper then you can style everything properly.
