In reply to: Header image is not centeredIt won’t be in any files outside your theme.
Looking at the URL, the image is not inside the theme:
http://ricksfitnesstips.com/wp-content/header-images/12175-Final.jpg
So it has been manually added somewhere to the header. The header image is also outside the main website wrapper, immediately after the body tag. This would be the first place to check in header.php.
Can you maybe paste the contents of header.php into PasteBin and post the link up here?

In reply to: Header image is not centeredIn header.php:
Change this:
<img title="12175-Final.jpg" alt="12175-Final.jpg" src="http://ricksfitnesstips.com/wp-content/header-images/12175-Final.jpg">to this:
<img class="siteheader" title="12175-Final.jpg" alt="12175-Final.jpg" src="http://ricksfitnesstips.com/wp-content/header-images/12175-Final.jpg">and then add this into your stylesheet (default.css):
.siteheader { width: 900px; height: 200px; margin: 0 auto; }and then to remove the text, open up default.css:
#branding { padding: 88px 0 44px; }and add in one extra line:
#branding { padding: 88px 0 44px; display: none !important; }That should do it. 🙂

In reply to: Adding searchThere is a search bar widget in ‘Appearance’ -> ‘widgets’ so you can place it anywhere your theme supports widgets.
As far as modifying the search to display a specific page you set for the keyword, it will take a lot of coding to get this working right. You’d need to consider multiple spellings and variants as well, eg,
Searching ‘red socks’ should also include:
redsocks
red sock
redsock
Red Socks
RED SOCKS
socks that are red
socks red
… the list goes on.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Milky cover over my websiteIt most likely is a lightbox type modal popup which isn’t working.
Without a link to your site to check this, it will be impossible for anyone to help on here.

In reply to: How to add Image in Google search resultTo get an image inlcuded into ‘Google Images’, the best way is to ensure that the image name is something descriptive and make sure that the tags are correct as well:
eg,
<img src="/images/monalisa.jpg" title="Mona Lisa" alt="Mona Lisa" height="300" width="100" />By doing the above, you clearly mark what the image is, and so Google finds it easier to categorise the image to serve once someone else searches for it.
There is no guaranteed way for inclusion, but by tagging all the images like I have as above, it works almost all the time for me. Depends on competition, relevancy just like any search results I guess.

In reply to: PermalinkGo to WordPress admin -> Settings -> Permalinks.
Swap Custom Structure to /%postname%/ or whatever you wish and save.
Done.
Note, you may need to paste in some text to htaccess file – depends on your host permissions. Sometimes WordPress will do it for you if it can write itself.

In reply to: problems veiwing text in google chromeFirstly I would take out font-size: large from the styling of the text.
Ok, so the text goes smaller, but it is better to use ‘font-size’ via CSS to increase the size of text. The readbility improved when I did this on Chrome (Mac).
I also removed font-family: “body-font” so it may be that font (thin fonts are ok for headings, but for regular content text it can cause problems for readers).

In reply to: theme name change problemYou change the name via FTP, but the database still thinks that you are using the old. It’s best to switch to the default WordPress theme, then rename your theme, then reactivate your new name theme.

In reply to: Deal type listingsSearch Google for themes or plugins that match your requirements. It’s quite niche, so not standard functionality, but there may be a theme out there that comes fairly close.
