In reply to: [Theme: Realia] Theme Got UglyHello!
First of all, could you please describe what is the issue here? I am not familiar specifically with this theme, but it looks like there is just not much content for it to show.
As your second link shows, this is a premium theme so in the most cases, you should try to get help from the theme author.
But anywhay, I will give my best to help you.

In reply to: Not sure which theme to go for:(Hello!
First of all, I can assure you that basically in most situations you can change a theme in WordPress with basically 3 clicks.
The best place to search for themes is inside the WordPress Theme Repository, which you can find on http://wordpress.org/themes/ or from inside your WordPress installation, in Appearance->Themes, and on the top the Install Themes tab. There you can set specific requirements, like color, column arrangement, features and so on.
Regarding the custom header, if you referring to the ability to put up your own logos and text, most themes have built-in settings which allow you to set those up easily.
What you are referring as easy to access from Android, is called site responsiveness. It is basically a function that detects the display size of a visitor, and decides what kind of design it shows to the specific visitor – the one designed for small screens, or the one for desktop computer display sizes. On the theme search page (inside your WordPress) this is called Flexible Width, so make sure you check that checkbox, when you are searching.
Sandly I cannot recommend you any specific themes, because there is so much of them. But if you need any help with any theme, just put post it here in the forums and I am sure there will be someone from us to help you.
I hope that I was somewhat helpful, if you have any additional questions, just ask them!

In reply to: virtue sidebar removalHello!
Could you please provide a link to your site, and tell us what template are you using, so we could provide better help?
Depending on what theme are you using, here is what you could try: go to the page edition page inside the WordPress admin, and on the right side in most themes there should be a Page Attributes box, in that you can choose from so-called templates, which determines the layout of that particular page. On posts, there should be a Layout box. This is what it looks like on Responsive theme with pages:

In reply to: Customize Plugins and Widgets.Hello!
I am not really an expert in this, but I will try to provide some valuable insight. First of all, to directly modify a plugin’s or theme’s files, it is not the best solution, because if you update the modified plugin or theme, you will lose all of your modifications.
If you need to make html/css modifications, the best way is the use of child themes. More info on creating a child theme you can find here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_ThemesWith this method, you can easily modify the css. I recommend the use of Firebug on Firefox, or the Developer Tools in Chrome. There you can open the site what you would like to modify, and find out, which css rules are applying to specific html elements. When you find that out, you can overwrite them with your own rules, which you can insert in your child themes’ css file. Remember, if you put a file in the child theme with the same name as in the parent theme (in this example if your theme uses a style.css file, put a style.css file inside the child theme folder). The rules defined there overwrite the ones from the parent theme or the plugin, but anything that is not defined in the child, gets executed from the parent.
If you want to modify plugins however, this is not the case, because there is no child-plugin solution, or it is hard to implement. But if you make the changes to the plugin’s files, on update you will lose your modifications.
I have googled a bit, and found these 2 links that may help you:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/22935/proper-way-to-modify-pluginRegarding the use of the built-in WordPress code editor, I personally dont recommend it, mainly because there is no ‘undo’ button, and most importantly, if you make a typo by accident, it may generate an error which may prevent you to access the editor to correct the problem. I personally recommend that you download the files you want to edit to your computer, and use a code editor like Sublime Text or TextWrangler. So if anything goes wrong, you should be able to correct it. By the way, if there is a plugin or theme which creates an error and you cant access the WordPress Admin, the easiest way to deactivate it, is to rename the plugin’s or theme’s folder name, so WordPress cannot find it anymore, so it will deactivate it.
Sorry this became so long, but I hope that I could provide some helpful info. If you have any additional questions, feel free to post them.

In reply to: words showing up in header and over my share buttonsI think it should be the Eli’s WordCents adSense Widget with Analytics widget.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: words showing up in header and over my share buttonsHello!
It looks like you have a Widget, which should output some ads, but needs configuration. You can go to Settings->Appearance->Widgets. There you should be able to find some widget which (should be) related to ads. You can try to remove it by dragging and dropping it to the Inactive widgets area (so you dont lose any setting if there is any).
The other possibility is that it is coming from one of the theme’s functions. In that case, you should check the theme’s settings, which can be found usually under the Appearance menu item. Could I ask, which theme is it?I hope this is helpful, but if the problem remains or you have any additional questions, please feel free to post them.

In reply to: [Oxygen] Change front page body widthHello!
The easiest way is to create a child theme, and make some css modifications there.
More info how to create a child theme you can find here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_ThemesIn your particular case, your child theme’s css file should contain this:
/** * Theme Name: Oxygen Child * Theme URI: http://alienwp.com/themes/oxygen/ * Description: NOTE: 0.5 is a major update. Please backup your theme before updating and read the changelog.txt file for details. Oxygen is a minimalistic, mobile-optimized magazine theme with responsive layout. The main features include a featured content slider, custom front page template, 5 widget areas, and 3 menus. * Version: 0.5 * Author: AlienWP * Author URI: http://alienwp.com * Tags: flexible-width, theme-options, threaded-comments, microformats, translation-ready, rtl-language-support, three-columns, right-sidebar, left-sidebar, custom-background, featured-images * License: GNU General Public License v2.0 * License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html * Template: oxygen */ @import url("../oxygen/style.css"); /* =Theme customization starts here -------------------------------------------------------------- */ #content { float: left; margin: 0 0 30px; width: 80%; }And of course don’t forget to activate the child theme.
You can fine-tune the
widthpercentage value based on your needs, the original value was around 62%. However, you should check the theme’s responsiveness after the modifications.I hope this helps, if you have any more questions, feel free to post them here.

In reply to: [Exray] functions.php modification gone badHello!
The plugins’ files are located under
/wp-content/plugins/Here there should be a folder with your plugin’s name, inside that a functions.php file. By the way, for quick fix, if you rename the your plugin folder’s name, it will deactivate it in WordPress, so it will no longer generate an errora and the site will work.I hope this helps, if you need any assistance, just post here.

In reply to: Uploads folder showing IP address instead of web addressAre you using some caching plugin? Because in that case you have to issue a cache rebuild for the database changes to actually appear.

In reply to: can't see my wordpress siteBy the way, in your menu the home link points to http://www.nricollection.com/home/
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: can't see my wordpress siteHello!
I suggest that you delete the default.htm file. The server needs to load the index.php file in order WordPress to run, and the default.htm overwrites that. If you try to open for example http://www.nricollection.com/contact/, you are getting the WordPress site you are missing.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask them.
