In reply to: Theme not showing, 'Template' option missingHey Ralv, very sorry to hear about your frustrating times. You won’t have a lot of luck getting help specific to your theme on these forums, because these forums don’t provide support for commercial products (for very reasonable reasons). Without access to your actual theme files, it’s difficult for us to say with any certainty if your template files are actually missing or not. What did the theme vendor suggest?

In reply to: htaccess file in wp-admin folder issueExcellent, glad to hear it.
Thanks! In the meantime, I switched to a different plugin. I’ll go back on a test site and try what you’re suggesting, just to see.

In reply to: [Custom Login] Hide Custom Login on specific pageIf the widget display on the page is wrapped in a div, you can use css to hide it:
display: none;But that won’t help you hide it for just one page, that’ll hide it for every page. However! If you write a conditional around that sidebar widget, you could add another css div that could be manipulated that way.
<?php if ( is_page( 5 )) { ?> <div class = "hideable-class"> // sidebar widget code </div> <?php } else { ?> // sidebar widget code <?php } ?>(where 5 is the page ID, for example)
Clearly, that only works if you only have one widget in that particular sidebar. But it’s as specific as I can be without seeing your setup. 🙂 An idea to start from, anyway?

In reply to: different color of sidebarsWe might be able to help with a bit more information. Could you give us the theme name and the url of the site you are working on?

In reply to: Missing CommentsThere are a number of things which could contribute to this, but it’s hard to comment without more information.
Which theme are you using?

In reply to: Adding A Menu Item duplicates it in the body of the pageWhich theme are you using? Could you give us the url of the site in question? You can likely remove the title using a child theme or custom css plugin.

In reply to: Control Blog content on categories pageThe non-techy way: you could browse the plugin repository and see which excerpt plugin would be best for what you specifically want to do. http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=excerpt
Choose one, install it, and configure it according to its individual directions. Here is some info on Managing Plugins.
Just so you know for future, here’s the techy way! If you’re comfortable adjusting your template files, you could customize the display by doing the following:
1. Create a child theme (so your changes aren’t lost if you update your theme later)
2. Edit existing page templates, or create a new page template.
3. Code in the_excerpt or not at all, and just use the_title and your featured image.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Add static image to Homepage onlyHere is the code you’re looking for:
<a href="https://www.spectaclip.com/shop/spectaclip/"> <p class="buy-now">Buy It Today For Just $9.95!</p> </a>And in the css:
p.buy-now { background: url("images/buy-now.png") no-repeat scroll center top transparent !important; color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 25px; font-style: italic; font-weight: 900; height: 46px; line-height: 46px; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-left: 19px !important; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; width: 344px; }You will want to:
a) add a div before the first set of code I listed for your php file, and put your image code into it. Your code should look something like this:
<div class = "new-image"> <img src = "imagelocation.jpg" /> </div> <a href="https://www.spectaclip.com/shop/spectaclip/"> <p class="buy-now">Buy It Today For Just $9.95!</p> </a>b) write the appropriate css to make the ‘new-image’ div float left and appear at the proper size.
c) edit the p.buy-now css to alter the hard width that’s coded into it so that both divs will fit side by side.
You’ll likely have to tinker with it for a bit to get them both to fit, but that’s the process. Check back if you have more questions!

In reply to: Center featured image inside a page?Could you give us your url? It is definitely theme-dependent and probably something that can be fixed using css.
