mnbillups,

How long has the site been live? There are lots of factors and I’ve seen anywhere from a few days to a few months before Google starts to heavily index sites. Are you using an SEO plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/?

Additionally you could try this https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?pli=1 and submit your site to Google directly to help speed up the process of indexing. Hope these suggestions help.

pblosser,

This is a pretty good guide on how to go about that from a reputable source for sure:

Hope that’s helpful.

There’s a lot of good resources out there, have you check out Treehouse, some pretty solid tutorials there and broken into different topics, worth a look in my opinion if you haven’t checked it out.

Chandra,

There are a few ways to do this, however the easiest may be to check out this plugin. I’ve not personally used it before but looks to have a pretty solid rating and looking at the demo for the plugin has a few extra options in addition to just changing background colors.

Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/fully-background-manager/

Plugin demo in case you miss it in the full description:

Hope that helps get you started.

sure thing, if the ad is on every page of the site, you can adjust this around line 571ish of style.css

.site-main {
    padding: 40px 0;
}

If you only want to adjust the top, do something like this:

.site-main {
    padding: 20px 0 40px;
}

This will close the gap at the top of the page but keep the bottom as it currently is padded.
Hope that helps.

I’m not seeing this happen. Is it possible you’re logged into the site and it’s saving your previous info maybe?

I didn’t see this happening on Chrome for Mac

Do you want to get rid of just the icon or the entire overlay that happens when you hover over the images on the page?

If you want to remove the entire overlay, you can go to line 1055ish of your style.css:

and change this line:

.overlay {
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 20;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
  overflow: hidden;
  transition: all 0.5s;
}

to this:

.overlay {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 20;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
  overflow: hidden;
  transition: all 0.5s;
}
