In reply to: Adjust background witdh to browser widthOh, I see. My option was doing it manually through style.css.
You may be able to add my code to the plugin css file but I’d need a link to your site for a chance to find out where you should put it.

In reply to: My WordPress site loads really slow. Any ideas as to why?It’s bizarre. When I rerun the speed test, it seems the browser waits ~5 seconds to connect. Not the videos, not images, not javascript. Maybe the domain?
If you use firefox, maybe download the YSlow plugin to analyse what is taking so long…

In reply to: Where is html stored?To make it red, open style.css and add:
h2.page-title {
color: #cc0000;
}Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Where is html stored?There will be something in your page.php or single.php like this:
<h2 class="page-title entry-title"> <a rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" href=" <?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>You basically want to edit it without the link:
<h2 class="page-title entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>Hope that helps!

In reply to: My WordPress site loads really slow. Any ideas as to why?I think the video requests to youtube and vimeo are the longest loading items on the page 700+ms each (Only checked the homepage though)

In reply to: put hyperlink in commentsMaybe your theme is stripping them – quite unusual. Which theme are you using?
You need to retrace your steps. Where you in admin when this happened or in database? Hard to help when it could be a million things. =/

In reply to: put hyperlink in commentsCheck your discussion settings in the wordpress admin. There are places there which you add/remove links from comments. It maybe set to block all links…

In reply to: How to make a site theme responsive design?TwentyEleven is responsive, but not as much as it can be. It’s about as resposive as a fluid design site.
For true responsiveness, you can show different navigation menus based on desktop/ipad/iphone displays, hide certain boxes / images, rescale layouts and change orders.
It’s a hefty project to do, with the hard work really setting the framework out. There are some really good tutorials out there to get you going, including this one (not me).
Setting out the styling is done through CSS, with media screen separations based on the display width. Once sorted though, it looks amazing on every device size. Well worth it 😉

In reply to: Remove posted by author and date on a blank themeIf on a post, you need to be looking at single.php. It could appear in multiple places, index.php, content.php etc
It may also be referenced as ‘meta’, ‘post-meta’ or ‘metadata’ depending on the theme you use.

In reply to: Remove "Home" title from HomepageYou mean the page title on homepage?
I save the page without a title in the backend. ie, My home page has no page title.
By default, WordPress will list it at the top of all your pages in the backend so you know where it is.
Other ways include setting a php logic in page.php with something like:
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?><?php } else { ?> <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <?php } ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: backdoor solution to undo my error?You’ll have to go into your hosting control panel and get into the database from phpMyAdmin.
From here, browse the database tables for wp_options.
In here, you’ll see tables for home url and site url. You will have to update the correct info here and save. Your site will then come back.

In reply to: One third shortcode problemI’ve had this before, what works for me is by removing all the spaces between the one third shortcodes like this:
[one_third]YouTube Video Content here[/one_third][one_third]YouTube Video Content here[/one_third][one_third_last]YouTube Video Content here[/one_third_last]
This normally works for me.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: 301 Redirects not working!!If using plugins that overwrite the htaccess, then yes.
I have it set like this on 3 sites and they all do the job (although there is nothing to overwrite htaccess). If you have plugins that do overwrite the htaccess, then yes, keep it out of the wordpress section. 🙂
