In reply to: Illegal strong offset 'file' (output buffers?)Can’t believe I have a typo in the title of the post “string error” obviously – thought you could edit those things, but see no option.
Xblade, thanks, I did remove the photo, but no change.

In reply to: Navbar menu text off centerOk, WP, I just pasted that into the CSs Stylesheet Editor within my website’s admin. area and it worked! THANK YOU for your ongoing help. I partially overthought this, did not previously imagine that just typing stuff in there would result in changes/override existing code/settings. Because I was curious about replacing the customized code (do I call it code or just call it CSS or what?), I also did what I describe below, and that worked as well. All good now! (Considering repeated warnings of these changes being undone if theme is updated, I may use the Custom CSS code instead, ultimately, or have the updated code in both places, which may be interesting.)
And BlueKlip, thank you also!
====================================================I found the code referenced by BlueKlip via the C-Panel editor: … /mcgrathspielberger/wp-content/themes/dynamik/css/dynamik-min.css
All the code there runs together, and the snippet at issue looks like:
#navbar-1-left{float:right;position:relative;left:-25px;}
My thought process is that changing the code telling the navbar text to start shifted to the right and be indented by 25px would resolve this permanently without having to use the Custom CSS to override, and I’m trying that. I tried a few things that didn’t work quite right, then put in exactly what WPyogi suggested to replace the above code within the above folder / min.css code in C-panel, and that part now looks like this:
#navbar-1-left{display:table;float:none;left:0;margin:0 auto;}.This corrected my problem, eliminated the indenting of the navbar text, and centered the navbar text.

In reply to: Navbar menu text off centerUPDATE: now I am making some progress! I did not know that I could view and edit all of this via webhosting C-Panel, thought only via internal website admin. panel, etc. This “small” piece of knowledge may have just opened the door for me, mentally, as I was able to easily locate the code BlueKlip refers to and I may now try to edit that via C-Panel access.
(I share the update and the mental process, in part, in case this helps any other struggling users going forward.)

In reply to: Navbar menu text off centerWP, thanks so very much, I just re-learned how to go into C-Panel and edit items therein, which I’ve not done in years. I deleted that code and website up again, thanks again.
I don’t mean to be repetitive, but if there was a customization during the buildout of the site which told the navbar text to start 25px (or whatever) to the right, can’t I just adjust that (if I can find it)? Rather than editing a standard theme setting (which may be overridden upon an update), wouldn’t I be setting it back to the default, which would be fine even considering future updates?

In reply to: Navbar menu text off centerDynamik Theme is child theme and “inherits templates from the parent theme, Catalyst Theme. There is the ability to create custom CSS, I know that. The internal “Appearance” menu includes options such as:
(a) Edit CSS / CSS Stylesheet Editor. This contains some general instructions about using this to change items you want to change . . . but how to tell it what you want to change and then have it execute the change? For example I just inserted the code suggested by BlueKlip above in the CSS Style Sheet Editor and saved it, but it didn’t impact the navbar situation at all, at least not visibly.(b) Editor. Via this I can access certain .php files and Stylesheet style.css but I either can’t find the code I *think* I need to find or I (very carefully) make a tweak to see if it corrects my problem, but nothing changes (and then I change the code back). I just now tried to add BlueKlip’s code to the child-theme Custom-Functions.php file but it caused an error.
Let me know if I’m so helpless / ignorant here that I should just give up and hire someone. Thanks!
UPDATE – I added that code above, got the below error, deleted it, but now still have the same error, and our website is crashed. Oh no!
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /home4/mspllc/public_html/mcgrathspielberger/wp-content/themes/dynamik/custom-functions.php on line 7Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Navbar menu text off centerOk, thank you both regarding the cautionary statement regarding solicitations. Of course, if I can’t figure this out, I’ll have to hire someone to do this kind of thing anyhow. The guy that designed our website isn’t doing that work anymore, and the guy who assisted, we hired him to update the site but he ripped us off.
I sort of taught myself HTML and created a few basic websites in 2010, but don’t enough knowledge (or the time or energy to increase/update that knowledge sufficiently). Some of the support discussions I’m finding contain your contributions, WPyogi, and indicate I may need to go through FTP (which I’ve not done in years, and won’t even try myself) to fix this issue.

In reply to: Navbar menu text off centerThanks very much, WPyogi. Unfortunately, I simply do not have the knowledge to do this. I wouldn’t know where to add the CSS or what CSS to add that would override what other CSS.
Again, I thought (perhaps incorrectly) that there would simply be a margin setting (or similar) which was intentionally altered to cause the set-off to the right, and that if I could find where to adjust it, I just change that margin setting.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Navbar menu text off centerThank you very much. Part of the problem is that I cannot find that CSS / code to alter. I cannot locate what you have posted above in the Stylesheet, etc., so I can’t even find that “area” to edit it.

In reply to: [WP Easy Columns] Vertical dividing line between columns?This is exactly the issue I was wondering about but do not know how to accomplish. A vertical divider line/some sort of visual border and also a way to increase the margins between the columns. Thanks!

In reply to: [WP Tiles] include parameterMike, great plug-in, thanks so much, and we intend to contribute something to you for it! I’m also impressed with the level of your assistance herein.
I’ve just discovered WP-Tiles, and my coding is rusty and rudimentary. I’m starting out by trying to include only certain posts, but my attempts aren’t having any effect – the most recent 20 still show up. Help?
I’ve tried both of these configurations below within the code for the post in which I want the tile(s) to show up:
[wp-tiles id=13]
[wp-tiles id=”13″]
Thank you. Here are the other plug ins (more than I realized!).
