    The editor.css file is only used for the WYSIWYG editor and not for the site in general.

    I looks like you have an error in style.css. The block you’ll be interested in looks like this:

    a {
    text-decoration:none;

    Make sure to include a closing } and make your changes like so:

    a {
    text-decoration:underline;
    color:[pick your color here];
}

    If you don’t have FTP access, your hosting service may offer web-based tools for managing files, a la cPanel or Plesk. If you don’t have access to anything, it’s time to call tech support.

    $lw_top_header_image_width is a variable name. If you change that, it’s going to blow up on you. If you want to set the width manually, replace:

    `
    define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, apply_filters( ‘basic_header_image_width’, $lw_top_header_image_width ) );`

    with

    define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH', 1802 );

    The src attributes are pointing to a .swf file in the current working directory, which on the home page is the root directory or your site. Try using the absolute url to the file a la:
    http://www.domain.com/path/to/file.swf?etc

    Something got screwed up in your PHP. Do you have FTP access to the offending file and can you post the contents of line 16 and preceding?

    You’ve definitely nailed down your motif. One thing I would suggest is increasing your line-spacing for better readability. The text blocks and the sidebar menus feel a little cramped. A little spacing on the header and footer would help too.

    That’s kind of an open-ended question, but the selection menus are pretty textbook example of custom taxonomies. The audio looks like it’s being housed on an external cdn while the documents could easily be attachments. A custom field to hold the url to the audio file would probably do it.

    Two things are going on in your function that you’ll want to fix. The first that $post doesn’t exist in the function’s scope. You’re also including an unnecessary variable assignment when you fetch the post meta field. So, instead of this line:
    $output.= $ad_url = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'ad-url', true);
    Try this line:
    $output.= get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'ad-url', true);
