I should have said that this problem does not occur when embedding a pdf.

In reply to: How can I remove the categories link from my homepage?Sir,
I thought, (far further down the line, of course, when my 6 mo site has a fanbase, which will take time, as all acceptance of change must), of adding a PayPal donation button.
Organic traffic, (as in: as slow as it takes?), somewhat countermands passion, my great own, I feel, for I am right eager to get Chiliad out there, (do you read?, take a look, “Y’all ain’t read nothin’ like this, and probably won’t never will, not ever.” – Anon, is true). Hell of a work, wish I could inspire in visitors (maybe like Game of Thrones) that the journey may be slow, but the increasingly frequent payoffs will be offworldly.
So, in short, one subscribes to be notified of new posts? So what is an RSS feed?
Just got your donation-thanks, (used a friend’s account, must get one of my own), that was quick!: s’ok, (and you seemed so very like a testy sort of person at the first, aye, fools are everywhere), I appreciates any help I receive, particularly when, so rarely asking for it, it is far more rarely received.
StatCounter (are you familiar with it?) distinguishes between page views, unique visits, and returning visits; the latter I get, the former, surely means first-timers; but returning visits: why would they return, when the page has not been changed, but to download further chapters?, and yet MediaFire, (who have assured me their stats are kept up to date), shows no increase in download numbers. This is intriguing.
When visitor stats are compared, (AdWords, (another horrendously complex engine), as well StatCounter, and CountPerDay, and of course the counter at the base of my homepage), nothing tallies, makes no sense, do you know why? Is there a more accurate means of counting genuine visitors, so that I may satisfy my angst by determining why visitors come, download, come back, download more, but make no comment, (surely a rudeness of sorts!), send me no email?
Thankyou

In reply to: How can I remove the categories link from my homepage?Sir,
Are followers alerted of a change or addition to the site to which they subscribe?
Why do some use disposable emails, why are so many discarded: StopSpammers has prevented 574 spammers from registering or leaving comments.
Just visited your site, mmm, skills, you in Philly? No donation button; must I download a plugin to click this?
Second question: How do I (how do you to yours) increase genuine traffic to my site, admittedly one which offers something, (like I say, not for everyone, almost for no one), for people of very rare tastes and qualities, (such as patience, attention span, literary experience), nowhere else in the world extant.
Thankyou.

Mmm, noble!; I do the same in my own geekverse.
First question: I am using Google AdWords, to very small effect, for it is impossible to find the right KeyWords to promote traffic towards arthouse, when no lucre is involved. As stated on my site, I have received no comments, yet I have acquired, passing the scrutiny of Wassup and WordFence, 22 subscriptions. People subscribe, why? That such might follow a comment, this makes sense to me, but not otherwise.
Thankyou.

Thankyou! I have further question, generally, about WP, about comments, users, and more. If you will allow yourself to bill me, I will ask them.
Bill me anway, for your patience.

Is it ok, safe, to dialog here in this so public manner? Yes, like I suppose here on the internet, which requires the skills from so many fields, InDesign requires skills in printing, typography, English, graphic art, &c. Photoshop became so much a degree-like leaning experience I gave it utterly up, particularly as I am so skillessly amateur at drawing, painting.
So: in Photoshop or Illustrator (probably also in PageMaker, which I still have), I can make one graphic for the Header Image, and place it in in WP; but can the “Site Title and Tagline” be left blank?
Bill me!

Oh joy!. You are a boy very knowing and sharp; can you fly a light place, have you seen the world, do you speak a second language?, I can, I have, I do: sorry: just further defending my putzdom.
Next, perhaps finally: (genuinely: send me a bill, and I will pay it!), is there a way (in PageMaker, (now called InDesign), in which I once held certification to teach, I could do it in the fewest seconds, (you try)), I can give the words “Chiliad… remarkable”, overlaying the graphic, a coloured outline, to make it stand out, for against the monochrome no one colour works.
Seriously: be on call to fix my problems, and I will, reasonably, pay you!
Thankyou

“style your links so they are viewed as a link and not just plain text…”,: failings more of a newbie putz.
So: “.navbar {
background: transparent;
}”I add this to custom css?

In reply to: How can I remove the categories link from my homepage?Aye, a lot.
Now I am left with only that horrid cream bar; left to wonder what it is and why, and is there some code I could enter into my new custom css to see it blessed gone.

In reply to: How can I remove the categories link from my homepage?Success!
Evan Herman: thankyou (your comments noted, and you latest explanation is far more clear; but newbie: “an inexperienced newcomer to a particular activity”, surely it is not asked that one learn a whole language simply to ask, say, the time); gk2raghav: thankyou; everyone: thankyou.
I can now return to my music practice, have a recital coming up, some tutoring to give later, tonight a private lessons to take, classes at 8 tomorrow, and exams acoming: you see, my geekdom is different.
I am done.

In reply to: How can I remove the categories link from my homepage?Exactly: Urdu.
Download custom CSS plugin: from plugin page?, but which?
Add said CSS: how?
Save: yes, the button at the bottom.
Refresh: F5.
Mostly Urdu.
Thankyou, (the meaning of the term lehmens, escapes me)

In reply to: How can I remove the categories link from my homepage?I think the word “newbie” has conceptually very little meaning any more. I wish you could all appreciate this as much as I do your help. Last year I taught computers and the internet to some smart, intuitve, but very mature people, and out of 19, not one could successfully set up a WordPress site to their satisfaction, the learning curve was so steep. I am young and have two other lives, so it is to be expected that I have very little time left for any sort of what I believe is called, no insult intended, geekdom.
It seems that my extraordinarily simple desire to remove one (1) word from my webpage is now beginning to smack of obsessionality, (hours on Google, finding solutions to old versions of WP, solutions that do not work; seeking help here; downloading FileZilla, installing it, failing to log on, commencing to learn this whole new program; trying to understand the above “…download a custom css plugin and add it there”, “… or you can add it to your style.css file if using child theme.”…
And my little site is nothing about me, anyway, but someone else.
My mother could speak Urdu, I know a little. If you asked me, in English, a little question about this language, you would hardly expect me to answer in Urdu, but rather in English; I say newbie, and I get Urdu.
I am not asking for a crash course, nor for anyone to solve my no problem for me, but a little English would be much appreciated. People, thankyou, and if no further responses come, still thankyou.

In reply to: How can I remove the categories link from my homepage?Add it where?, (say I as I struggle to learn FileZilla, and so determine why it will not let me access my site).
Although, a few weeks back, I did try your suggestion, after a Google search, to no avail. But I will try again.
Thankyou

In reply to: How can I remove the categories link from my homepage?So, on my very slow connection, I am now downloading FileZilla, will then follow directions from codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients, then from codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes, (all to remove one (1) single word!), and hopefully get back to you if I need to.
Thankyou for your time.
