In reply to: Unable to hide title in Twenty Eleven headerHi Carmen,
Sorry, I meant to say that prior to uploading the file, you have to save it as style.css. It is not being recognized by the child theme in the dashboard because you have uploaded it as .txt. You can even rename it directly on your server account control panel. See if that works.

In reply to: Unable to hide title in Twenty Eleven headerHi Carmen,
The fact that you now have a child theme listed in your FTP directory is a great start. As WPyogi suggests, you have to create a separate style.css file using a text editor in order to activate the child theme. I’ve repasted the css which already includes Ravalde’s search engine optimized way of hiding the blog title and description directly below.
/* Theme Name: Twentyeleven Child Description: Child theme for the twentyeleven theme Author: Your name here Template: twentyeleven */ @import url("../twentyeleven/style.css"); #site-title a { color: #009900; } #site-title { position: absolute; top: -9999px; left: -9999px; } #site-description { position: absolute; top: -9999px; left: -9999px; }You can copy and paste the above code into a blank text file, edit the author information and save that as style.css and upload it to the child theme’s directory.
Best of luck!

In reply to: how to upload pdf files onto the web siteHi,
Sure, that makes a lot of sense. Depending on what your web host offers in terms of managing files, you must have some kind of file transfer program within the hosting control panel. From there, you can create the folder that you would like to upload all of the PDF files to, and then do a multiple file transfer. Otherwise, you can also use a program called FileZilla. Check out this article in the Codex Using FileZilla.
Best of luck!

In reply to: hover CSS problemHi,
When I look at the rendered HTML code, I see several <body> tags, one of which is assigned the class ‘gratiside’, another one with the class ‘gratis-ide’, and another one with an array of classes ‘page page-id-52 page-child etc…’
Somehow, there is something else causing this to break. Have you had a chance to look at the article Dynamic Menu Highlighting?

Just to clarify, do you want a folder to upload all of your PDF files to?

In reply to: Page content: images appear but text does notHi,
In your css for body, you use the color #C7F0FB which is the same as the background color in the page css.
body { color: #C7F0FB; background: url(images/bgrnd.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; -webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover; }#page { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; background: #C7F0FB; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: hover CSS problemOops! Well in your CSS, I see the following:
#top-menu a {color:#000; text-decoration: underline;} #top-menu a:hover {color:#000; text-decoration: underline;} a { text-decoration: none; color: #00b7f3;} a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#fff; }You would need to make the change to the color in #top-menu a:hover.

In reply to: Unable to hide title in Twenty Eleven headerHi Carmen,
You have probably gone through the directions in this article Example of a basic Child Theme, but to break it down for you, once you’ve created the new folder for your child theme within the wp-content/themes directory, and have gotten the following code in the new properly formatted style.css file,
/* Theme Name: Twentyeleven Child Description: Child theme for the twentyeleven theme Author: Your name here Template: twentyeleven */ @import url("../twentyeleven/style.css"); #site-title a { color: #009900; }saved it, and then uploaded it to the new folder you created for your child theme, you would need to activate the theme from the dashboard. Once it is activated, you would go to Appearance -> Editor in order to see the newly created style.css. From there, you can add the code that Ravalde shared directly below the last CSS style in the child theme’s style.css.

In reply to: hover CSS problemFrom my end, the hover seems to be working fine! Forside is Yellow, Om os has same color as your page border, Job is Green, and Kontakt is grape/purple. I am using Safari as my browser, but have also tested it with Google Chrome. Upon first hovering over the menu items, it takes a few seconds, but that is only after initially loading the page.

In reply to: Unable to hide title in Twenty Eleven headerHi Carmen,
So you would like to hide “Author Carmen Amato” and “Finding Connections Across Cultures”?
Assuming you have a child theme, you can add the following CSS to your styles.css:
#site-title { display: none; } #site-description { display: none; }Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: can't run "wp-admin/install.php" after all setting upNo problem at all. If you purchased the domain through GoDaddy, the domain’s DNS will eventually propagate so you don’t really have to do anything at this time. DNS propagation can take anywhere from several hours to a couple of days.

In reply to: My new site url is an administrative pageHi Charlie,
I am not exactly sure what the issue is based on your post/question. Would you be able to provide a bit more details about the problem? Is this a local install of WordPress and mean that the URL is localhost:####?
