    I plan on using the AccessPress Lite theme in my new website. However, I know that I will want to make cosmetic changes (change menu color, etc.).
    Will these changes disappear when WordPress rolls out their next update/version? Will the changes disappear if AccessPress is updated?

    Thank you!

    (I’m new at this, I keep reading about the Parent and Child relationships – not sure if that’s what I have to address.)

    My site is http://www.ofcia.org

    Well, now I’m nervous. What do you mean by Custom CSS or child theme? I’m VERY new at WordPress.

    I created a WordPress site using the RESPONSIVE THEME. I’ve made many cosmetic changes (font colors, border colors, etc) by going under the Dashboard, then Appearance, then Editor. “Responsive: Stylesheet “
    Is this wrong? Are you saying that the next time the Responsive theme updates that I will lose all these changes? Or am I editing the Custom CSS?

    I did cut and paste the CSS code from within the editor and copy it to notepad. If the theme did update, would I be able to just cut and paste from the notepad back into the editor?

    SOrry for sounding so elementary – but I really am at this point. Lots to learn. If there’ a link you cold point me to that would explain “child theme” – I would appreciate it!

    Learning as I go,
    THANK YOU MUCH!

    By the way, this is some of the CSS code….. I see the webkit and moz prefixes…is that why the site can only be viewed correctly in only Chrome and Safari browsers?
    /* =Header Menu (Primary)
    ————————————————————– */
    .menu {
    background-color: #585858;
    background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#585858), to(#3d3d3d));
    background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #585858, #3d3d3d);
    background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #585858, #3d3d3d);
    background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #585858, #3d3d3d);
    background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #585858, #3d3d3d);
    background-image: linear-gradient(top, #585858, #3d3d3d);
    clear: both;
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#585858, endColorstr=#3d3d3d);
    margin: 0 auto;

    Won’t I lose all my settings and my widget contents?

    NOTE: I can view the website perfectly in Safari or Google Chrome.
    When I view the website in Internet Explorer or Firefox, the formatting is gone. Does that help? Does it have something to do with rendering engines? Any help would be great!!

    Desperate. 🙂

    sorry… link is http://www.ofcia.org

    I don’t think I have too many plug ins:
    1.Black Studio TinyMCE Widget
    2.Custom sidebars
    3.Easing Slider “Lite”
    4.Contact Form 7
    5.NextGEN Gallery

    I will add the super cache and wp minify to see if that helps.

    My images are “crunched” when I upload them to the media section of wordpress. Do I need to compress them further? (Sorry – I really am a newbie.)

    Thanks for advice. 🙂
