  • Leave the word “admin” as-is. So it would be http://margaret-peng.com/wp-admin/theme-install.php.

    Are you an admin of your WordPress install? What about manually entering the address as I suggested?

    At the top of the themes page are two large Tabs. The first one says “Manage Themes” and the second one says “Install Themes”. The coloring is a light gray, so it may be easy to overlook.

    Alternatively, you can navigate to the page manually by typing in the link in your browser: http://www.your-site.com/wp-admin/theme-install.php.

    Well, I don’t know the exact structure of the Classica theme that you downloaded, but in order for WordPress to correctly find your theme, at a minimum you need a style.css file, like this: wp-content/themes/classica/style.css.

    The most likely scenario that I can think of is that you unintentionally duplicated the classica folder, so you have wp-content/themes/classica/classica/, or something similar.

    If you downloaded your theme as a zip file, it may be easier to let WordPress do the uploading for you. From the Admin interface, click on Appearance > Themes > Install Themes, then click on the Upload link. You can then browse for the zip file, and WordPress will take care of the rest.

    Did you upload a file like classica.zip? Or is it an actual folder with files inside?

    What folder did you upload the theme to? WordPress looks for themes in a specific place. From the root of your WordPress installation, the theme folder needs to be in wp-content/themes/<themename>/.

    Assuming the code you’ve posted is working correctly for your site, then you’d probably want something like this:

    <?php
    $headerAttributes = "";
    if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ) {
        $image = wp_get_attachment_image_scr( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' );
        $headerAttributes = $headerAttributes . " " . 'style="background-image: url(' . $image[0] . ')"';
    }
    if ( is_front_page() || is_home() ) {
        $headerAttributes = $headerAttributes . ' class="slide"';
    }
    echo '<div id="header"' . $headerAttributes . '>';
    ?>

    This is just one of many ways to do this, but it should give you enough of an idea to tailor it to your own style.

    Find this (around line 229):

    /*       +++++++++++ Header +++++++++++++      */
    
    #header #headerleft{
        display: block;
        float: left;
        width: 620px;
        padding-top: 6px;
    }

    Delete the width and float attributes, and add a text-align: center; attribute.

    Every browser I’m looking in is showing your menu centered. I tried IE7, Safari 5, and Firefox 3.6.

    Maybe you need to clear your browser’s cache, and reload the page.

    The problem is that it’s not that simple, which may be why you’re not really getting any replies on this. I played with some different settings on your site for awhile, and I wasn’t able to get the navigation bar to be centered without taking away the dynamic properties of WordPress menus.

    It’s not impossible to do this, but it is very difficult to do when the width of your navigation bar is not explicitly set. If you feel that your navigation menu is static and won’t be changing much, then you should be able to specifically set the width, and then adjust the margins to get it centered.

    Find the section of your style.css labelled “Top navigation” (it starts around line 297). The next section beneath that is labelled “Drop down menu CSS” (around line 351). We’ll be looking at both of these sections. Here’s what you need to do:

    1. Change the width value under the section #navouter #nav ul#dropmenu, #navouter #nav ul#dropmenu ul from 100% to 580px.
    2. In that same section from step 1, delete the the setting margin: 0;
    3. The next set of changes is a little more complicated. Find the line of code that starts here: #navouter #nav ul{ }. You will need to change that section and the next section. This is what you start with:
      #navouter #nav ul{
      }
      
      #navouter #nav ul,
      #navouter #nav ul li{
          display: block;
          float: left;
          text-align: center;
          margin: 0px;
          padding: 0px;
          background-image: none;
          list-style-type: none;
      }

      And this is what you should end up with:

      #navouter #nav ul{
          margin: 0 auto;
      }
      
      #navouter #nav ul li{
          float: left;
      }
      
      #navouter #nav ul,
      #navouter #nav ul li{
          display: block;
          padding: 0px;
          background-image: none;
          list-style-type: none;
      }

    I believe that should get it working for you… Just keep in mind that if you modify your menu at all, you may need to adjust the width setting, because it is no longer dynamic.

    Leave float: left; as-is. You will want to add an additional line that says text-align: center;.

    Well, let’s start with some of the basics:

    1. What framework are you using?
    2. What theme are you using?
    3. What plugin is conflicting?
    4. How is the plugin conflicting?
    5. What’s a link to your page?

    The form that you’re using actually creates a table to structure the form elements, which is generally regarded as bad design (but for the moment that is beside the point). The table has an inline style setting the width at 260px. This is wider than the actual widget that contains it, which is set to 199px. That is why it does not seem to be aligned.

    If you’re using a plugin to create the form, I would recommend searching for a different plugin that is more up-to-date in how it is actually implemented, as this will probably help out in making it fit into the allotted space.

    Check your stylesheet. Many stylesheets for WordPress have set images sizes include in them. Look in the stylesheet to see if there are any size definitions for any img elements.

    There is a good chance that the theme is custom-made. You can certainly try contacting the website owner to see if they can give you any more details about the theme.
