In reply to: How to remove links in header and footerHello,
The top links are called ‘Breadcrumbs’ and usually, a good theme will have an option to either show or hide them. If not, the code for them will be in one of the PHP template files accessible via the editor (appearances>editor).
The ‘back to top’ link in the footer will most likely be in the footer.php file, but be careful what you edit in there.
For the best result, I would seek clarity from the theme developer.

In reply to: Updating WordPressHello,
It’s always good to run the WordPress updates for security purposes among other things but it is not essential, though highly recommended.
One thing to consider though before updating is checking to see if your plugins work fine with the new version of WordPress. If they don’t, things can ‘break’ although most of the time, everything runs fine and goes smoothly so don’t let it put you off. = )
Before you update, do a back up.

In reply to: Creating a parcel quote and book siteHello,
This isn’t something that looks like it can’t be achieved with a simple plugin.
You’ll need some sort of back end system that picks up the bookings and allows you to organize the collection and shipment of the parcels – Ideally, the information will go direct to whatever courier is chosen.
Unless there is an awesome plugin out there (I looked) that does it, you’re probably going to be looking at something bespoke.
Although the site you linked to above uses WordPress, the quote and book functionality looks bespoke.

In reply to: Items disappearing from dashbordDid this problem occur after you installed a plugin?
A quick check to see if one of your plugins is effecting your site (given that you can’t access them via the CP) is by going into your FTP, and navigating to the plugin folder, and rename the folder to something like ”Plugin disabled” or something. This will enable your site to function without the plugins and you can then see if any of your plugins are effecting the site.

In reply to: Form Integration With My EmailNo, it’s not in that little bit of code.
There should be a section in the file about which e-mail to sed it to, as well as mail server settings, unless of course it’s set up to work off the back of mail settings WordPress provides?

In reply to: Form Integration With My EmailHello,
You should have some sort of PHP file that you have linked to the form that makes it function? In there is where you specify what e-mail address’ the emails go to when someone submits the form..
To change the text hover colour, this should be something as simple as altering your theme CSS. You need add a hover class to your CSS relating to the menu item class.
Using the example of a normal link class below, this for example adds a underline on mouse over to a link.
a:hover {text-decoration: underline; }But you need to add a hover element to an existing class which is the code below. Replace ”menu class” with whatever class your menu item is called and change the Hex colour code to your desired colour.
.menuclass a:hover {color: #000000; }Here it is working – https://jsfiddle.net/Lt7hyo7u/

In reply to: How to change order of plugins displaying after posts?Hi Fabian,
To do this you would have to alter the code in the single post template file in the editor section (Appearances > Editor).
Unless you know a little bit about code, I wouldn’t just go ahead and dive in though. If you do decide to have a play, back up first, or at least copy and paste the entire template code into a text file just so you have the original.

In reply to: How do I redesign my site while keeping the current one active?Hello,
You could install another instance of WordPress on a different domain or create a subdomain and build your new site from there.
Once you’re done, you can simply move the new site over to where your old one is. If you do this, this page tells you all you need to know about moving a WordPress site from one location to another. – https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
Hello,
This theme uses a media query to alter the menu when the screen size is equal to or under 783px in width. Basically, it’s a bit of code that checks what screen size you have and if it’s below that value, it’ll make the menu turn into the mobile menu.
Check in any theme settings if you have the option to disable it. If not, then I’d reach out to the theme developer and ask how to remove it from the CSS and/or template files.

In reply to: [Medica Lite] Removing the Menu from the footerHello,
The menu in the footer will either be a widget (Appearances > Widgets) or it’ll be a secondary menu (Appearances > menu). So you can either remove the widget or disable the secondary menu.
You should not have to edit footer.php.

In reply to: The Left Sidebar doesn't display on Mobile devicesHello,
This theme is responsive so the side bar will disappear on mobile devices creating a menu icon at the top instead.

In reply to: [Twenty Eleven] Shopify Buy ButtonsHello Jennifer,
Have you tried deactivating your plugins to see if it works then? That is the first thing I do if I encounter an issue such as this with any of my sites.
Occasionally plugins can conflict with other elements of your site.
