In reply to: Changed CSS and ruined website.I found CSS for it here http://presscustomizr.com/snippet/center-header-block-items/ and tried to input the CSS in.
Make sure you put the right code in the correct file. That set of snippets they tell you which file to edit.

In reply to: Changed CSS and ruined website.You should reset your child theme. When you add or edit to your functions.php file next time and you get the white screen of death, all you need to do is remove the edit and if that still doesn’t work change the name of the functions.php file to functions.bad or something like that and it should bring your site back up, just without the customized functions working. Then figure out what you did wrong and restore the file. You don’t need to delete the entire child theme. Like I said before, php edits are unforgiving if done incorrectly. When you copy a snippet to place in your functions file, copy and paste it exactly as it shows. FYI the Customizr support forum is very well supported as is their website.

In reply to: Changed CSS and ruined website.Instead of deleting the theme files, you can change the theme folder name to customizr.bak that force your WP site to a default theme. Once that is done you should be able to access the dashboard. Then use the ftp to rename that same folder back to customizr. Like BILL asked, did you create a child theme or were you editing the theme files? If you were using a child theme and not editing the theme files themselves it should be safe to reactivate customizr and figure out what you did in the child theme that caused the crash. What exactly were you editing when it crashed? CSS doesn’t normally cause a crash where as PHP will if not done correctly. You should have 2 files in the child theme, Style.css and Functions.php

In reply to: Genesis Featured Images – Not fitting in boxYou may want to edit the images offline and then upload them with a new name specifying what their use is. Look at the theme to see if it tells you what size to use for the featured images. It looks like it is resizing them to 266×166.
You should also check this out for customizing your site.

http://www.coreftp.com/Depending on how much you want to customize your site, a child theme gives you far more control. With the css plugin you cannot add functions for instance.
The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

In reply to: How to view site visitor or contact form submission IP'sYou can track the visitors with “Statcounter”. There is a plugin and you need to setup an account on Statcounter.com. Follow the instructions. When setting your url, you only need the Project ID and Security Code from statcounter to enter into your Statcounter plugin. It works very well. Bear in mind that if your malicious user is using a proxy you still won’t be able to track him.
