I added the following line before the loop in index.php. Works good. I’m surprised WordPress does not have some simple way in the GUI to toggle between ASC and DESC.

<?php get_header(); query_posts($query_string . “&order=ASC”); ?>

Ok, I have created the child theme and located the Loop in the original index.php. I guess I just add the $query statement below some where in the loop of my child theme. Can I put it as the first statement right after /* Start the Loop */?>

$query = new WP_Query( array ( 'order' => 'DESC' ) );

<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
				<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
			<?php endwhile; ?>

			<?php twentytwelve_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>

		<?php else : ?>

			<article id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found">

Yes, I will make a child theme and make any needed changes if you can point me to the correct .php file and what should be changed. Also, I just switched to the 2012 theme for now as I bought a book that covers that theme. Thanks for your help.

Thank you

Thanks for the info. I was able to go into appearance -> widgets to get rid of the un-needed fields in my side bar. I am using the Graphene Theme and was able to edit the style.css and change the font and margin for the Header Title and Header Description (created a child theme). I looked through the codex docs but could not find a way to change font size and padding on the sidebar info. Basically I want to change the font and padding on the Headings in the right Sidebar (I only have the one sidebar). I have looked at the sidebar.php files but can’t find anything in there. I guess I don’t know which file I should look at to make those changes. Now I’m thinking it might be in the style.css. Below is the code related to sidebars from style.css. Any idea where I should make the change?

Wow that helps so much. I have placed the loop-page.php in my child theme and added the code below. Now this text displays on each page as desired. One last thing – the second sentence “Call us today” should start on a new line but it does not. I tried using “\n”; but it does not seem to work. Any ideas?

Thanks again for the great help. I looked on my server at /home/ocparalegalservices/public_html/wp-content/themes/graphene. I could not find a file called content-page.php but I did find page.php. I copied it into my child theme Graphene-Brad3. I located “the_post()” and added my Email line to that (see below). I tried putting it above and below the line that says “the_post”. It seems when I saved it and refreshed my web page I just got a blank white screen. If I comment out my Email line then it displays the page like it used to.

`<?php
/**
* The Template for displaying all single pages.
*/

get_header(); ?>

<?php
/* Run the loop to output the pages.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-page.php and that will be used instead.
*/
the_post();
get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘page’ );

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Luke, thanks so much for your help on this. I’m not a coder so your help is very much appreciated. I am using the Graphene theme and I created a child theme called Graphene-Brad3. I put you CSS code in the child theme and everything worked great. The Graphene theme seems so huge with so many files it is hard for me to find anything. I’m guessing the Graphene theme is using a body font size of about 12px. I changed my child theme to 14px and that seems to be good.

I have another question. On each of my static pages I have inserted the same Call Us and Email us info below at the bottom of each page.

‘Call us today at (714) 454-9292.  Email us at nn@ocparalegalservices.com.

Is there a simple way that I can have this code in one place and have it automatically appear on all pages? Right now when I revise the info I have to go and change it on every page. Thanks again for the great help.
