    Ok this is silly now, even if I replace my original code it has fucked up after using the one suggested.

    Its not horizontal, the font has gone huge and its now purples – its changed the fot of my pages and categories too!

    Can anyone help please 🙁

    :/ That just made it vertical and huge and purple 😀

    I removed the old one completely and put that in the same place – strange lol

    Feel a bit silly showing it as it’s in it’s early days 😮

    There is no content yet – the navmenu bar is at the very top – hard to see at the moment because of the colour behind it but if you scroll over they are there. Oh by the way the links wont go anywhere yet as I haven’t linked them to anything 🙂

    On my theme there wasn’t a horizontal menu at all, so I added one doing what this document told me:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Horizontal_Menus

    I have done it correctly, and managed to change the margins and positioning of the menu, its just the colour of the font – it wont change no matter what I enter. I presumed I changed it on the style.css.

    The document said that was how to change the colour of the links but it doesn’t work, just wants to stay black and red when hovering on it.

    Cheers esmi, you are like my guardian angel 😀

    It didn’t work for some reason, so I copied my web page and pasted into photoshop and took a swatch of the colour – nicely worked now 🙂

    Thank you

    You are a bit of a god send at the moment lol. I just read that and tried it – only thing was the child pages didn’t look like child pages off of the main page in the sidebar. However, once uploading an older theme I had (a simpler theme to work with) it worked straight away!

    Bit hard to show how much something is appreciated over the internet but as I have struggled with this for a long time I very much appreciate it!

    Here, have some cake 😀

    Well the first theme I downloaded was silver dreams, after getting rid of most of what I wanted someone advised me to find theme that was more like I wanted it to look which I did. And is now causing me problems lol. I just reverted to silver dream and have managed to sort out my post/page problem too! Should have stuck with the more basic and worked my way up 😀

    Cheers 🙂

    Thanks esmi 🙂 I got a tad confused and was trying to add pages under the categories which meant one page came up under all categories, and then tried with posts which did the same thing lol.

    Just pages sounds the way to go though, not sure about the whole children of the original page – if anyone could enlighten me – if not no worries and I will search and see where I get to.

    So categories is definitely not the way to go I guess!

    Thank you.

    Thanks kittywake 🙂 That’s put a bit of faith back in me! I have been playing around all day with a theme, deleted quite a lot of stuff but I don’t think the original theme was basic enough for me to easily add and change bits of code. I will take that on board, and If I can’t get much further with the one I am on now (which I haven’t done an awful lot – just added a horizontal menu bar, deleted the header pic and changed margins) which took me all day, I am now having problems with categories posts etc which is another thread I made. I almost feel bad asking so many questions on here lol.

    I think its a case of school holidays and little people driving me mad, lack of patience thrown in and so much to learn lol.

    Thank you for the motivational post though.

    Make a theme to my tastes? Wouldn’t that be even harder? Years ago I made a site using html – my brain has erased that bit now. I have all the ideas in my head but can’t do what I want to do.

    Cheers anyway dude but I am not sure wordpress is for me.

    Thread Starter ilona_divinity

    (@ilona_divinity)

    Thank you VERY much 🙂

    It appears to have worked – I deleted the same part as I originally deleted in the index.php.

    Man I have got so much to learn lol

    I don’t suppose anyone would know how to get rid of the (1) next to the category still showing that there is one post in there?

    I guess I should go investigate more.

    Thanks again dude, made me a happy gal – I couldn’t go to sleep with out sorting it, you know how it is 😉

    edit: ryans – nice site – just downloaded one of your themes 😀

    Just bumping this before it falls off the page *blush*

    I don’t understand how to completely get rid of it, I have deleted the section shown in my second post above – this has removed it from the home page. Yet if I go to another category it still shows up as

    Uncategorized | Edit | No Comments

    Well actually not uncategorized anymore as I changed the category name 😀

    It also shows (1) post next to the newly named category – neither the number of posts of edit ¦ no comments bit I want.

    Thread Starter ilona_divinity

    (@ilona_divinity)

    Just checked the uncatergories and still has (1) and when clicked still has the Posted in Uncategorized | Edit | No Comments bit, not sure what to delete from there!

    This is what i have in edit.php

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <div class=”entry”>
    <?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this page »</p>’); ?>

    <?php wp_link_pages(array(‘before’ => ‘<p>Pages: ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</p>’, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>

    </div>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit this entry.’, ‘<p>’, ‘</p>’); ?>
    </div>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Thread Starter ilona_divinity

    (@ilona_divinity)

    Well I removed:

    <p class=”postmetadata”><?php the_tags(‘Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘
    ‘); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> | <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ”, ‘ | ‘); ?> <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?></p>
    </div>

    from index.php and it seemed to have disappeared – do I need to do the same for the page.php too?

    *hopes I have done it right*

    I am learning all this from scratch so apologies lol, wordpress doc’s have been great but sometimes I come to a dead end!

    Hope the removal of all that hasn’t naffed anything else up.

    Cheers by the way 🙂
