In reply to: How to delete ALL my info from this siteDelete the user from the dashboard and attribute all your posts/pages to another user.
Then check General > Settings to make sure you didn’t use the same email address when setting up the WordPress installation.

In reply to: How to display slider on every page of wordpressAdd a slider plugin such as http://www.slidedeck.com/ or any of the free ones in the plugin repository.
Most sliders will allow you to add a shortcode to any post or page which will output the slider there.
If you’re wanting a better solution then you may have to add the shortcode to the header.php file of your theme.
The header area of your site is shown regardless of which page/post you are on.
Some slider plugins give you the information on how to add the slider to the PHP code.

In reply to: Fatal error on upgrade to 3.6My guess is that one of your plugins is using the same class name.
As you can access the dashboard deactivate all your plugins and then re-activate them one-by-one testing the front end after activation to find the culprit.

In reply to: Moving site to a different URLUse Seacoast Web Design’s solution ^^ for a quick fix but that will keep your files in the /public_html/blog/ folder.
I could technically tell you how to move the installation into the root folder but that may be too techy for you.
As you’ve just installed the site a few days ago then you probably haven’t put a lot of data into it.
I would recommend reinstalling it into the /public_html/ and starting again.
If you want to know how to move the files to the root folder so that you can remove the blog folder let me know.
I does involve making changes to the database using phpMyAdmin.

In reply to: Identing paragraphs for dummiesHi @garbunk
You’re asking the community for a solution which involves changing the stylesheet that controls the formatting of your page (the paragraph) so understandably the responses are going to include CSS code and an explanation of where to put the code.
I understand that if you are not a developer/designer then the solution will probably sound like gobbledegook, however, on the flip side if you are wanting to implement the changes yourself (as opposed to paying a developer to do it for you), then you will have to read up on and understand how WordPress uses stylesheets and themes.
A good place to start would be:
http://codex.wordpress.org/New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Startand more specifically:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_ThemesRegarding the updates getting overwritten each time you update – I assume that’s when you update your theme.
When updating a theme, the current theme folder on the server is deleted and the new one unzipped and replaced, hence, deleting the changes you made to any of those files.
There are two ways around this.
1. Does your theme have any Theme Options – specifically a CSS field?
If it does then add your CSS changes there. It will be stored as data in the database and won’t get overwritten on each theme update.2. Create a child theme.
Child themes are explained here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_ThemesEssentially they “point” to your regular theme as a “template”/parent and use all the styles and functions from it but allow you to change and override certain files.
For example you could create a new child theme setting the theme you are using just now as its “template”/parent.
Then you could add just one file, the style.css (this is required anyway for child themes) to the child theme and make your CSS changes there.
Now, you can update the template/parent without deleting the updates you made to your child theme.
I’ve tried to keep this as non-tech for you as possible.
Hope it helps.

In reply to: Top & Bottom widgets locationHi @carlosmd
To centre just those top and bottom widgets you can add the following into your theme’s style.css above the first @media statements if there are any.
#ttw-top-widget ul,#ttw-bot-widget ul { text-align: center; }As for putting them anywhere they it’s up to where your theme allows widgets to be placed.
However, you can always drop the affiliate code into any post or page. Just make sure you click on the “Text” tab before pasting in any HTML code.
