The only thing I would ask I have no idea what figures to put in to make it a bit bigger.

Anyway thanks.

Ok, I have installed and activated PDF Embedder. I have added the pdf into New Media and it shows up in the library but when I go into pages and put a block in and go to library, the pdf isn’t there and when I try upload it it doesn’t appear in the library ‘pictures’ but is there in the top right hand corner. So I selected it and the following message came up: This image has an empty alt attribute, its file name is HolkhamLake_August2019-1pdf

Don’t know what else to try. The file is 1.4MG if that is a problem.

I need the answer simply explained as I am very new to all of this.

I have removed the post titles under the Homepage title. But I am struggling with linking the three posts/photos with the relevant pages (under point 1).

I have located the 3 column icon and then added a paragraph block and copied the URL from the events page and lastly the fishing report page. but I am now back with the 3 posts under the Homepage heading. Getting confused on that one. I really would like to just click the photo and get the link to the Events page or which ever one.

Point 2 the blue bar I would like to reduce the width of it and maybe change the colour. I did add the twentyfourteen colors plugin. Was that needed. Plugins and widgets is another area I don’t really understand and am struggling with what I need on what is a relatively simple website.

3. I would like the side bar to either show the recent posts up to about 6 of them and possibly have an archive section where I could put old fishing reports and then clear it every 6 month. Also some of the post heading appear in capitals and some not – don’t know why or how to alter them.

There is another issue that I will need to ask about. We are going to be sponsored by two firms. How do I do that effectively on the Homepage and with a link to further information, perhaps in another page. Is that a plugin? Should I ask about that on another forum.

With your help I am getting there and I am very grateful. Val

Thanks for that.

How can

Can I get the post on Homepage to link to a specific page like Events. I would like to click on Club lunch and it go to the details on the Events page.

Secondly how can I change the layout of the Homepage to make the blue bar where the posts are showing smaller, different colour etc. I now have the three post titles appearing under the blue bar but I don’t need those twice.

Thirdly how do I play with the side bar. I can’t get the titles to all come up in the same format, and I would like to be able to put the old fishing reports into archives but when I tried that the posts above disappeared.

Lastly thanks so much for your help. Are you happy for me to keep asking you for help.

Thanks so much that has solved part of the problem but I still can’t get the images to show with the posts. I have set them as featured image and done the Appearances/Customize and tag thing.

When the list of posts comes up in All posts none of the posts have Featured under the tag column; so I am obviously doing something wrong.

I am involved in another WP.org site which does what I want but I can’t find out why it is working on one and despite my best efforts not on mine. The other site is: http://www.puntclub.co.uk/

Sorry, should have thought of that. https://www.norfolkflyfishersclub.co.uk/

I wanted to show posts on Homepage and then have a link to Events page.

As I said trying to learn this as a I go.
