  • Oops – serves me right for posting at 4 am.

    The correct term should be ‘justify’ not ‘justified’.

    Try replacing:

    .post {
    padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
    margin: 0 0 40px;
    text-align: justify;
    border: 2px solid #000;
    }

    with this:

    .post {
    padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
    margin: 0 0 40px;
    text-align: left;
    border: 2px solid #000;
    }

    It looks like it might be a

    text-align: justified;

    issue in your stylesheet. Possibly in a class that would deal with ‘entries’ or ‘content’.

    Try this link:

    I would suggest using google if you suspect that a question is ‘easy’.

    There are probably many ways of doing this. Many themes appear to have a #container reference in the stylesheet.

    #container {
    position:absolute;
    right:0;
    }

    It would probably also work if you put those specifications within the body { } tag, also in style.css.

    Others may suggest better and/or easier ways to do this, as I am a n00b.

    *lol* you don’t have to be a n00b to post stuff like that – especially after having spent hours tearing your hair out on finding a missing something-or-other in a .css file.

    Okay – going out on a limb here… how about changing the name of the class and then changing the reference in the template file? And (please don’t feel insulted… this is a blooper that I am doing half the time!) are you overriding the cache when you reload the page? Have you tried a different browser to see whether it works there?

    Kat, the Twat

    If you are using the same database etc, I believe it should be enough to edit the config.php file (change the table prefix), then copy the whole wordpress installation to an appropriate folder and hit ‘appropriatefolder/wp-admin/install.php’.

    You will have to go in and activate plugins and choose the correct theme, but it will all be there.

    Hey there,

    You say the stylesheet says class=”children” and the stylesheet doesn’t mention it – so I’m not exactly sure what you mean.

    Is it the html in index.php or sidebar.php that references a class that isn’t mentioned in the stylesheet? In that case the person making the theme probably based themselves on a theme that did have a .children class, and they removed it from the stylesheet but didn’t remove it from the code.

    If it is doing something funny I suppose you could try simply defining a .children class in the stylesheet – or changing the reference in the html to something that *is* defined in the stylesheet.

    Hi,

    I think this should work:

    <?php printf(__('Hello, <strong>%s</strong>.'), $user_identity) ?>

    (piked it straight off the wp-admin/admin-header.php)

    Normally, you go to the admin panel and click on ‘pages’ under ‘write’. Then for each page you can specify if it belongs to an already existing page or not.

    The menu should then go get the pages that exist – i.e. they show up automatically in the menu, unless they are specifically excluded in the ‘get’ function.

    I don’t know anything about blix, though – so if this is different I’d go with Moshu’s suggestion and find a wp template that is close to what you want and then edit it.

    Hi,

    I’m not sure I understood correctly what you are trying to do, but let me give this a go:

    Is it such that when you make a subpage under the page ‘you’, the link to the subpage shows up on the top menu, whereas you would only like the ‘you’ link in the top menu?

    If so, there is a specifier called ‘depth’ in the line where you call the pages:

    <?php wp_list_pages(‘depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’); ?>

    Where depth=1 will call only the top pages, and depth=2 will call the subpages attached to the top pages.

    Am I on target?

    Best,

    You could always open the wp-admin/index.php in your favorite text editor and remove the offending lines…

    Hi,

    I would suggest simply holding your breath and jumping in 🙂

    If you have the opportunity to install wordpress in a test-area on your website, that would be the simplest way to get started. Play around with it. Switch themes. Look at the various plugins that exist – post and comment to yourself, make a few static pages, change the .css specifications to see what happens…

    … and off you go.

    When they say the installation takes five minutes they really are not exaggerating. It is that simple.

    Good luck,

    Hi,

    I don’t know about those tables. It might be simpler to just specify the h2 for the sidebar in the .css file.

    #sidebar h2 {
    color:#ffffff;
    }

    That way only the sidebar titles will be affected.

    The bullet-points look like they are from
    #sidebar li
    #sidebar ul
    or some such thing. Try specifying:

    #sidebar li {
    list-style-type: none;
    list-style-image: none;
    }

    By looking in the .css file you will probably find out which one hasn’t been specified as ‘none’.

    Hope this wasn’t hopelessly incomprehensible :/ This is the first time I’m posting.
