Thank you, that worked. I have been spending some time at the W3schools online and am learning quit a bit! -Diane

linux4me2,
Thanks that did work, I was not putting the whole footer page in before. Wonder if I’m putting things in the wrong place again- tried to run the text full width as you suggested.
Made my header.php file,
copied all the code from the Grisaille Header.php.
Replaced the last line that referenced primary content, with the text you gave.
Added the info at the end of my style.css

The result was my page was totally blank when I loaded it. Might have been something in the header.php because when I took the style.css back to the way it was the page was still a blank. Got rid of header.php. And the site is back up? Grisaille header.php looks like this;
```
<!DOCTYPE html> 



 <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>> 
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;" />
<title><?php wp_title('|', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( !wp_title('', true, 'left') ); { ?> | <?php bloginfo('description'); ?> <?php } ?></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" media="screen" />
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>

<body <?php body_class(); ?> >

 <div id="canvas">
 <?php $options = get_option( 'grisaille_theme_options' ); ?>

linux4me2,
What I did was
*make a new file, named it footer.php
*copied the code you gave me, pasted into this file
*loaded into my child them folder

Should I have copied the existing info in the Grisaille footer.php, make a new file and pasted your code into this page? If so where would I paste it? Here’s the Grisaille footer.php-
```
</div>

    <div id="secondaryContent">
        <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
      </div>

      <div id="footer">
       <p>Copyright © <?php echo date('Y');?> | <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> is proudly powered by <a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="WordPress.org">WordPress.org</a> - <a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="WordPress.org"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/wp-logo.png" alt="wordpress-logo" height="20px" width="20px" /></a>   </p>

      </div>

    </div> 
        <?php wp_footer(); ?>
  </body>
</html>
```
thanks, Diane

LLinux4me2,
After I got rid of that bar on the front page using the footer.php, I should have checked the other pages because it was gone plus all the sidebar content on every page? So I added the sidebar. php back and got rid of the footer.php. Still have the floating bar.

I’d like my welcome page to not have the sidebar clutter, look more like a website welcome page than a blog, trying to look like a website (even though that’s what it is).

Thanks for the W3Schools link, looks like it could be very helpful.

-Diane

llinux4me2,
That worked like a charm. I do have some blank space on the welcome page, I think that’s fine, is there a way to center the main content on that page only. Sorry for all the questions, a last one- can you suggest a online course or a book that teaches more about how all of this works? About ten years ago I would make my own website with only html, there wasn’t php or style sheets or page templates. I went to WordPress documentation but it’s far too hard to understand….any suggestions?
thanks for your help, Diane

linux4me2,
Thanks so much for your solution, it worked great. When the sidebar disappeared from front page a horizontal bar is still up there where the top of the sidebar was. When I go into Firebug this element shows as
<body class=”home page page-id-6 page-template-default custom-background”>
<div id=”secondary content”

How can I get rid of the bar on the front page only?

Here’s my site http://RagDollsRising.com

Hi Christine,
I’m getting there, but hit a road block since the page.php template for my theme Grisaille has no mention of sidebar… am I missing something? Here’s the copy-

/**
*@desc A page. See single.php is for a blog post layout.
*/

get_header();

if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>

<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>

<h1 class=”postTitle”>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php if ( comments_open() || have_comments() ) {?>
<span class=”comments”><?php comments_popup_link(‘0’, ‘1 ‘, ‘%’); ?></span>
<?php }?>
<div class=”clearfix page-title-border-bottom”></div>

<div class=”post-wrap”><?php the_content(); ?></div>
<?php wp_link_pages(
array( ‘before’ => ‘<p class=”pages-links”>’ . __(‘Pages:’,’grisaille’),
‘after’ => ‘</p>’,
‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’,
‘nextpagelink’ => __(‘Next page’,’grisaille’),
‘previouspagelink’ => __(‘Previous page’,’grisaille’),
‘pagelink’ => ‘%’)); ?>
<p class=”postMeta”><?php edit_post_link(__(‘Edit’, ‘grisaille’), ”); ?></p>
</div>

<?php
if ( comments_open() || have_comments() ) {
comments_template();
}
?>

<?php

endwhile; else: ?>

<p>Sorry, no pages matched your criteria.</p>

<?php
endif;

get_footer();
?>

Christine,
I found out what code I need to modify on the parent Grisaille theme to get rid of the side bar on the main page and widen the main text area with Firebug.

My question is- how much of the code do I need to take? If I grab
width: 900px
and just paste it in the style.css sheet of my child theme, it doesn’t seem there is enough information.

Thanks for your reply Christine. I did number one by creating a child theme. Number two is a little more difficult as I am a newbie on WordPress.org. Is there a tutorial on this?

Caroline,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, it is easiest to go into my dashboard and make the edits. I downloaded Firebug and found it to be a fantastic tool for discovering what code needs to be changed for what effect.
thanks again, Diane

Thanks for your reply, but what I’m confused about is do I do this editing in the dashboard or at my host control panel?

Caroline,
Piece by piece I think I’m getting this. I’ve got my Patchworkchild folder in my theme directory with my style.css file in the Patchworkchild folder.
The child theme is loading o.k. The big question is …how do I make changes? There are several places to find files:
in the dashboard-apperances-editor
in the Manager files area of my Blue Host account

Where do I grab the code from? I understand that I paste my changed code in my child theme style.css file…right?

I do appreciate your help, Diane

I replaced the Patchwork header with my own picture, now I’d like to get rid of the quilt behind the header and the heavy dark box around header. How can I do that?

Thanks, Diane

Esmi,
By clicking around and changing themes, it finally works right. Don’t know how, but it does.
