Have you tried “inspecting the element” you want to modify using browser developer tools? That’s usually how to find its selector. Then you can add it to your CSS.

Or please provide the url link to your site so someone here can provide further asstance.

Good Luck.

Nice try ;|

Your html5 header and footer don’t have the ID nor class you specified. It should work like this:

body.page-id-8194 header,
body.page-id-8194 footer {
display: none;
}

In theme TwentyEleven I believe there are some really good reason the comments template is within the div#content…

What were you attempting to accomplish in the first place?

<?php
/**
 * Template for displaying all pages
 *
 * This is the template that displays all pages by default.
 * Please note that this is the WordPress construct of pages
 * and that other 'pages' on your WordPress site will use a
 * different template.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Eleven
 * @since Twenty Eleven 1.0
 */

get_header(); ?>

		<div id="primary">
			<div id="content" role="main">

				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

					<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

					<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

				<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Great question

Here is a reference I would suggest read the whole thing before you try any changes: https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install

From the reference:

WordPress allows you to install it into a subdirectory, but have your website served from the website root.

Good Luck

I know what you mean, I got frustrated a lot when first starting out.

it doesn’t look anything like the live demo.

Typically the live demo will have some posts and pages with content and images. Your site will not appear similar because you don’t have those content images.

Are there any themes where you don’t have to rely on CSS so much?

Hopefully after you have inserted some content you will see that you don’t have to rely on CSS as much as you thought.

Another possibility is: Instead of the live demo, read the theme description and it will tell you in words how it is styled and then you can choose one where you won’t have to modify the styling.

Good Luck

Greetings, Great Question

I’ve just made a free account and tried to put in add the custom theme, is that possible?

If the free account you mean http://wordpress.com/ … I don’t think it is possible to use your own custom theme.

To get started, generally, you’re going to want to do what we call a sub-directory installation of WordPress. This is very important so you don’t take down the existing site.

First I would suggest to contact Moonfruit to verify their systems do in fact support WordPress at all.

Reference this section: https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#In_a_Subdirectory of this page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

Good Luck

It appears the tagline is not there. Did you remove it somehow?

After you might put it back, I would suggest you should try a custom css plugin like the one in jetpack, that way you don’t have to figure out which file to modify. Try this code:

#header h3.tagline {
    font-size: 24px;
    line-height: 36px;
}

You are welcome Serge

Have you tried setting the “featured image” within the post editor?

Good Luck
