In reply to: Transparent background Evolve themePhotoshop is the easiest way I know but other image editors may do it.
You basically want 1px height, 1px width of black/white set at 80% transparency.
Once you have that, upload it to your themes images folder and then use it via CSS:
.whatevercontaineryoucallit { background: url(images/transparentpng.png) repeat; }Obviously change the name of transparentpng.png to whatever you call your image.

In reply to: Transparent background Evolve themeJust create a semi-transparent png using the colour of your choice at 80% opacity. Make it 1px X 1px and then use that as the container background for your content set to repeat. You can also do it with CSS but I always get better results using a 1px image as the background.

In reply to: A problem with ellipsis: The Google Font storyHmm. Maybe try adding in a filter:
function ellipsis_replace($content) { return str_replace('#8230;','...',$content); } add_filter('the_content','ellipsis_replace', 99);Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: A problem with ellipsis: The Google Font storyYou can change the ‘read more’ ellipsis […] into anything you want.
Add this to you themes functions.php file:
function new_excerpt_more($more) { global $post; return '<a class="morelink" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read more</a>'; } add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');You can change ‘Read more’ to anything you want.

In reply to: Back end and front end, where is it stored?Everything is on your server. Back-end would be the admin section of your WordPress, the post edit screens, pages, widgets, themes, plugins etc. Front-end is what the user sees in their browser, so the actual site on the domain.
All content, settings, posts, data etc is stored in a MySQL database which the web files (php, javascript etc) pull data in from. When you lost your password, it is generated from the php files and the database. There is no involvement from the WordPress website.

In reply to: Updated functions.php, site crashedUse FTP to access the functions.php file in your theme then remove the lines you added in to cause the issue. Send it back up via FTp and try again.

In reply to: Changing font of title in static pagesstyle.css (line 82), change it to this:
#main #content .post h1, h2.entry-title { font-family: Lobster; font-weight: normal; }Your existing one was close, just not correct which is why it wasn’t using the right font.

In reply to: same as standard h1 tag?No, it’s fine. It’s just been given a class for CSS styling. It is still read as a h1 tag for SEO so you don’t need to add another yourself.

In reply to: move that buttonAdd this to the bottom of your style.css or add the text-align part to the existing custom.css file.
.contact-submit { text-align: center !important; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to reduce vertical space between widgets in sidebarYour CSS is not in style.css, it’s in css/style.php. I would look inside your theme folder, then into css folder, and you’ll find it.

In reply to: Problem with Code?Looks like the header.php is messed up as this is the first few lines output:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> </head> <body <gantry:bodytag=""> <gantry:header> >There’s an extra > in there too which outputs on the page. Aside from that, it looks like there is no CSS stylesheet hence why it’s raw HTML.

In reply to: Changing Home PageMy first stop would be header.php in your theme.
