Hello!
I have installed the Swift Basic to my testing WordPress install. There I can choose what widgets are showing up on the right side on WordPress Admin under
Appearance->Widgets. On the right side, make sure to open the non-sticky sidebar part, screenshot here: ScreenshotIf you have any additional questions, I am here to help.

In reply to: Page BackgroundYou can create a child theme (here is a link for instructions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes), and make some CSS modifications.
But if you could provide a link to your site and tell me the modifications in more detail, I can provide you the necessary CSS modifications.

When you are logged in, are you able to access the /wp-admin? You should check the Toolbar setting in
Users->Your Profile, theShow Toolbar when viewing sitecheckbox should be checked.Or, it is possible that for some reason you do not have the proper user privileges…

In reply to: Site doesn't open at allyes, that is definitely good news. I would certainly try to repair the database, I thing it should not do anything worse than this. But if you have access to phpmyadmin, you can make a database backup just to be sure.

In reply to: Site doesn't open at allTry to go to this link: http://www.naldotech.com/wp-admin/
At this point I really cannot tell whether this is referring to your original site or to the hacked one, but it may help you.
Anyway, if you are able to find the original installation, it is imperative for you to find and delete the ‘database connection error’ installation, and sort out the homepage redirection.
Keep us updated!

In reply to: Site doesn't open at allIf you have a caching plugin installed, than most probably you are getting this from the server’s cache memory, but I am just guessing…
I have checked the page’s source file, it says there that the
wp-contentdirectory on your server has a name ofwp-ronaldo. So if you are able to find that folder, and the files (themes, plugins, etc) in your hosting account’s file browser or through an FTP software, than I guess there is some kind of redirecting set up for your WordPress installation, and you have an enormous luck. If you are unable to actually find these files inside your hosting account, then I guess it is just the cache.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Adamos] Header SliderHello!
I have checked the theme’s documentation, it says that you should have at least 3 slider images for the slideshow, and here are the image sizes (link to the documentation: http://www.templateexpress.com/adamos-theme-instructions/):
6) Set Up Homepage Slider
A post category called “Featured” and with the slug “featured” will have to be added to your post categories. The slider will pick up the latest 3 posts from this category and the image if you have set a featured image. Look at number 9 for recommended image sizes. The slider will appear on whatever you have set as your homepage – static or blog.
9) Recommended Image Sizes
Logo = 280px width 78px height
Slider images = at least 960px width. will look best at either a 3:1 or 4:1 width-to-height ratio. The Adamos demo site images are 2000px width and 500px height.
Header = same as slider imagesThese are just recommendations and there is some flexibility with sizes.
It is possible that the slider is somehow related to the header image, but I am not sure. Please try with the above method, and if the problem persist, please post a link to your site so we should check it out.

In reply to: Site doesn't open at allI think it is ok to leave the database there, but when you get the backup, make sure that the database names are the same in the backup and on the server.
There is no need for you to do anything else with the WordPress installation.

In reply to: Site doesn't open at allYes, because if you have any malicious content in the database, you can get rid of it this way.

In reply to: Site doesn't open at allWell, I am sorry to say this, but because your link was pointing to the page where you can install WordPress, and it was publicly accessible to anyone who visited your site, it is possible that someone took the liberty and done the install, providing the admin username and password during the installation.
At this point, I recommend you to do this:1.) Check if you have a backup of your site which was made before you made the modifications, so it is a copy of the working site.
2.) If you dont have a backup yourself, then contact your hosting provider, to check if they have a backup. In both of these cases, do not make the restore yet.
3.) Delete every wordpress site and the database which is currently (so after the unauthorized install) related to the WordPress installation
4.) Restore the files and the database from the backup.I have checked my WordPress installation’s twentytwelve files, and from what I can see from how your site currently displays those items, it suggests that there were some modifications made to the theme file, so it is really hard to give appropriate solution without the actual code. I have sent you a message from your site’s contact page.

In reply to: Site doesn't open at allI think your only solution here is if you have any backups of your older WordPress installation files and database…
You should contact your web hosting company’s support to check do they have any backups…

In reply to: Site doesn't open at allHello!
I have checked your link, and it gives me the WordPress installation page.
Here are tips when you are editing any WordPress core files (or plugins’ or themes’ files):
Whenever you want to make any changes, make sure that you have a copy of — the original file, in case of anything goes wrong, you have a backup so you can quickly put it back, so you have time to find the error, ad in the meaintime, your site works well.
– I dont recommend using the built-in WordPress code editor for php files, mainly because if you have a syntax error in your code, it could break the site so badly that you could not use the editor again to change it back
– the WordPress editor does not have code highlighting and it’s missing an undo buttonSo my recommendation is: use some code editor on your computer, download the file what you want to edit, make a copy of the original one, and when you are finished with editing, just upload the file back to the server with ftp.
If you have any additional questions, just post them here.
Have a nice day!
