In reply to: Website offline after changing urlIf you have a recent backup, I’d recommend you restore a backup from before you tried to move your installation. The Codex has an article on Moving WordPress which should help.
You can use Cloud Up but from what I can see, you don’t need it! Looks like your site is back up and running. How did you fix it in the end?

In reply to: [Pictorico] change font color in search boxCan you paste a copy of all the CSS you’re using here?
Am I right in assuming you’re using the Jetpack CSS Stylesheet Editor? If it’s enabled, you’ll find it here: Dashboard > Appearance > Edit CSS.

In reply to: unable to login.When you reinstalled WordPress did you create a new database? If the old database is still there, I’d suggest you take a step back and restore the backup you made of the old site and rather try fixing that one than trying to patch the new one back together.

In reply to: [Pictorico] change font color in search boxIf I understand you correctly, you want the text to be lighter when you are typing in the search box. The CSS that I gave you is specifically for when the text box is active (has the focus). If you add my CSS, I’m sure you’ll get the effect you’re looking for.
How mine if different to your is that mine has input:focus just after .header-search. This means the browser will use this CSS when someone starts typing in the search box.
Let me know if I haven’t understood the problem.

In reply to: [Pictorico] change font color in search boxYou’ll need to add the following custom CSS:
.header-search input:focus { color: #fff; }Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise, your changes will be overwritten whenever the theme is updated.
Since you’re already using Jetpack, an easy way to add custom CSS is to activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.
As alternatives, you could either install a standalone custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.
@angeleejanssen, your site is looking for the stylesheet at the old address. If you can’t come right with Bryan’s suggestion, try looking at the instruction on how to change the site URL in the Codex. You should be able to fix your problem by working through it step by step.
Hope you come right.

In reply to: [Pictorico] change font color in search boxHi, what is the URL of your site?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to Change font style or font sizeTry using this:
body, button, input, select, textarea { font-size: 1.7rem; }Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise, your changes will be overwritten whenever the theme is updated.

In reply to: Taking over an existing wp site – missing wp-adminNo problem. Glad you’re making progress.
The site is definitely using WordPress one way or another. I’m wondering if it isn’t some kind of caching that’s serving it the way it is now.
If the client has the budget, I’d definitely suggest recreating it with WordPress. The content and layout is pretty much there so it shouldn’t be a major job to recreate it. It’ll also be much easier to maintain going forward.

In reply to: WP 4.5.2 Uplaoding ProblemExcellent! Glad you came right.

In reply to: WP 4.5.2 Uplaoding ProblemHi Alan,
The following should do it:
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'custom_upload_mimes'); function custom_upload_mimes ( $existing_mimes=array() ) { $existing_mimes['rcdx'] = 'text/plain'; return $existing_mimes; }Here’s a link to the Upload Mimes Filter documentation on the Codex.
Cheers,
Rob
Remember that if you’re not using a child theme, CSS changes will be lost when you update your theme. You can get around with by installing a plugin to handle additional CSS. The one I’d recommend is Jetpack.
@nipun321, I’m not familiar with the theme but as yoga321 said, you should be using a child theme before you start changing code or CSS. If you don’t want to do that, you could add the following CSS:
.site-footer { display: none; }Child themes are quite easy to create. The Codex has instructions on how to do it here. There are also plugins that will create one for you.
Hope you come right.
