In reply to: Menu items won't highlightNo problem. 🙁 Good luck!
Have you solved this in the meantime? I see a working slideshow AND dropdown menus in Firefox and Safari. Hooray?
FYI: If you have theme-specific problems in future, it’s best to go through your theme developer’s support channel since this is a paid theme. This forum only supports themes from the wordpress.org theme repository, it doesn’t support commercial themes.

In reply to: Post categories and tagsYes. Could you be more clear about what your question is? And provide some more information?
If it’s a Bluehost backup issue, you’ll have to call Bluehost directly. Otherwise, be specific about what you’re trying to do so we can try to help!

In reply to: wordpress barOh wait, are you talking about the admin bar itself? This is only visible to you when you are logged into your site. It allows you to log in and out, return to your dashboard, add new posts, etcetera. Your readers can’t see it. (unless they’re logged in, and then it’s their name)

In reply to: Changing title on browser tabSorry, guys. I’m getting an error and can’t view the site.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How do I put a border around a paragraph?Totally possible! But to add css style changes, you’ll want to create a child theme that contains a style.css file, or use a custom css plugin, so that any changes you make are not overwritten the next time you update the theme.

In reply to: Getting rid of a space.There’s a css style applied to each item:
.box { float: left; min-height: 410px; width: 470px; }So I believe it’s the min-height attribute that’s causing your problem. If you adjust it, be sure to create a child theme or use a custom css plugin so your changes aren’t overwritten by future theme updates.

In reply to: Can't login – redirect to HomepageYou should have renaming access to your own account. Can you log into your dreamhost admin to use their ftp interface, or contact dreamhost to check on why you can’t do this?

In reply to: Changing title on browser tabAside to Evan’s comments: What theme are you using? (if you give us the site url, we will be able to tell) If it’s a theme from an external source (wordpress.org theme repository, or a commercial provider) that may need updates in the future, you should not edit the theme files directly. Instead, it’s safer to create a child theme so that future updates don’t overwrite the changes you’ve made.

In reply to: I'm back with the same crashed website. Please Help!Hi @bluemerlin, I assume you mean this thread from two months ago. The instructions that esmi gave you are not ‘software-speak,’ they’re just a matter of using ftp to log into your server space (where all your WordPress files are) to rename a few files and folders.
To put it more plainly:
–log in to your server and find the wp-content/themes/mylife folder and rename it to mylife-old. This will force your WordPress to switch themes to the default theme. Try to log in as usual.
–go to your server and find the wp-content/plugins folder and rename it to plugins-hold. This will deactivate all your plugins, so if one of them is causing a conflict, it shouldn’t affect you. Try to log in as usual.
–if neither of those options solve it, you may want to upload all new WordPress files using ftp, and making sure you DO NOT overwrite the wp-content folder or the wp-config.php file.
Think of the folders on your server as similar to the folders on your own computer! You just have to get at them long-distance, and that’s where an ftp client comes in. There are lots of ftp programs out there, but Filezilla is one option.
Do you have your ftp login information? Or did someone set this site up for you, and maybe they have it?

In reply to: My Google description was hackedFrustrating! Very sorry to hear that.
It may take some time, but you can take more control over your site’s visibility by registering with and using Google Webmaster Tools.
Also, here’s some google info about what to do after being hacked, which is also very GWT-centric.

In reply to: Changing title on browser tabBarring theme particularities, the browser tab usually shows the title of the site, the title of the page you’re on, or variations that include both.
If it’s just the site title you want to change, that’s no problem, you can do that in Settings > General. If you want the browser tab to display something else, however, it’s usually in the theme template files and that will depend on the theme.
Could you give us the url to check it out? What do you want to change it TO?
