In reply to: Using the CSS Resize TrickYou enter any custom css into your child theme style.css file and php functions go into your child themes functions.php file. Do not copy the theme’s style sheet or functions to the child theme files. That being said, go to to my previous post and watch the firebug video, you can also find videos on youtube for firebug and how to use it. Almost all browsers have developer tools that work pretty much the same way as firebug, so watching those videos will help you to figure out how to do exactly what you want to change and give you the selectors you need for making those changes on your site using your child theme. Here’s another resource for using CSS, take a look: http://www.htmldog.com/guides/css/beginner/
You can also go to the forum that supports your theme for theme specific help.

In reply to: Using the CSS Resize TrickThe 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: WordPress Page Loading TwiceYou should contact the theme author about this issue also.

In reply to: WordPress Page Loading TwiceOk I see what you are talking about, don’t know why it’s doing that. Do you have a caching plugin? You could try disabling your plugins one at a time, and reload the page, If you use CTRL + F5 it clears the browser cache for your site while reloading.

In reply to: commenting out Shortcodes and whateverIt would be nice while developing a site to be able to turn on/off a php snippet at will. Thanks.

In reply to: commenting out Shortcodes and whatever@mindctrl one last question then. Can I then take a snippet from my child theme’s function.php file and use that as a plugin?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: commenting out Shortcodes and whatever@mindctrl could you use that snippet that cyberchicken made and create a plugin like what is shown in this thread? Just curious, I don’t know anything about creating a plugin.

In reply to: Login button is not workinHere are 3 plugins you might want to take a look at. I use all 3 on one of my sites, they seem to play well together. 1 suggestion, create a clone development site and try new things there, then apply what works on the live site.

In reply to: Making things transparentYou should take a look at these development tools and how to use them. These are for Mozilla, but most browsers have dev tools that work pretty much the same way. This should help you with your css development.

In reply to: Login button is not workinI notice that your /wp-admin seems to be disabled also. You are on godaddy so are you able to access the site through your cpanel? If you can try disabling your “Theme my Login” plugin and see if the front end or /wp-admin works.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Login button is not workinI would guess you are having a problem with your “Theme My Login” plugin. or possibly a conflict between that and your “Paid Membersips Pro” plugin. I will assume that everything was working in the past, did you just update one of your plugins or your theme?
