In reply to: TwentyFifteen: Make container semi-transparentFYI for the curious:
I added this bunch of code and it fixed up the issue perfectly..hentry { background: #fff; background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7); }Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: TwentyFifteen: Make container semi-transparentHalf-success. I added this to the custom CSS editor:
body .hentry, body footer.entry-footer { background: none; }That made the background disappear entirely. Better but still not what I want.
I changed it to this:
body .hentry, body footer.entry-footer { opacity: .5; }That made the white box behind the text appear at 50% opacity (yay!) but it also made the text appear at 50% opacity (boo!).

In reply to: Trouble importing contentMy webhost is bluehost.
I’m actually *waiting* to talk to them in another window – right now it says my estimated wait time to talk to the next available representative is 30 minutes.
Figured I’d try this forum while I’m waiting just to see if there’s a wordpress-specific issue that might be causing it.

In reply to: downgrading from 3.6.1?Well, I didn’t really want to downgrade, so that’s just as well.
Off to make these site changes, and maybe bang my head against a desk for awhile.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: responsive twenty ten is not responsive?Todd- thank you so much for all your help! You can (kinda) see what I’m doing at http://www.skiosho.com/. I actually just uploaded it from my local XAMPP wordpress installation, and the second sidebar went all wonky, but you should still be able to see what I’m talking about.
Thanks again!

In reply to: responsive twenty ten is not responsive?To clarify- there is not an actual background image in the original twenty ten, but it’s easy to insert a background image (under ‘appearance’ in the admin panel) and that’s what I’m talking about.
I’m creating child themes and using that to teach myself about theme development- so admittedly this may not be the easiest/best way to do what I’m thinking. I actually eliminated the header image (well, within the admin panel I just went to appearance>>header and clicked ‘remove header image’). Then I limited the menu’s width to 400px (#access .menu-header ul, div.menu ul {width:400}). I also added a third column (two sidebars).
With the background image, it’s easy to tile it, or you can just put a single large-ish image back there with a background color behind it. Those options work for *most* designs, but, I’m just thinking it would be neat to have a (fixed) background image that automatically fills the screen.

In reply to: shortening the twenty ten nav bar@wpyogi- I’m using a sandbox installed locally. It shouldn’t make a difference since I’m making a child theme of the default theme.
@alchymyth- thanks for you help! After much playing with the code, I’ve found the solution to be:
#access .menu-header ul, div.menu ul { width: 400px; }Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: adding image under twenty ten nav barI am. Still need help with the nav bar though.

In reply to: spam comment email notification, nextgen galleryYes, I looked, and all the boxes are checked the same as they were before this mess began- that is, both “email me whenever someone posts a comment” and “email me whenever a comment is held in moderation” are checked.
Ideally I would like to continue receiving emails when I receive (legitimate) comments.
