Text has to have a font-size and, in a similar way, it has a line-height. * So, in this situation, you should choose a line-height that makes sense (i.e. looks good). Try putting in different values to see what works for you.

Do you still not see the file /wp-includes/template.php on your server? * What did you mean by “You may be seeing my old website pages.” – did you have a non-Wordpress website in the same directory? If so, do those files still exist there? I would recommend downloading a copy of them to your computer and deleting them from the server if you no longer need them for now. * It also seems that you’ve got a WordPress installation in a directory called wordpress, it can be seen here: [http://vancouverwoodsmith.com/wordpress/](http://vancouverwoodsmith.com/wordpress/). Do you currently have 2 WordPress installations – one in the main root folder and one in a subdirectory called /wordpress/? * Sorry this post doesn’t have any actionable items, I’m trying to find out more information so I can think of the next troubleshooting step. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [suggestions on speeding up blog load?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-loading-14/) * [Valerie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valeriyan/) * (@valeriyan) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-loading-14/#post-2849911) * You can check your website performance at websites like webpagetest.com. * Here are the results for your website: [http://www.webpagetest.org/result/120626_6B_P7S/](http://www.webpagetest.org/result/120626_6B_P7S/). * It looks like you’ve got a lot of images and that’s causing your website to load slowly. * You might want to think about not loading all your images at once on the front page. For example only loading a few at first and then letting your visitors click on a link to load more. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [A little help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-little-help-5/) * [Valerie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valeriyan/) * (@valeriyan) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-little-help-5/#post-2849909) * I’m not a representative of Google, so I cannot tell you officially if what your’e doing will lead to the kind of search results. * That being said, you have links to important sections of your site, so it looks find to me. * You might want to ask this kind of question at the Google Webmaster Central: [http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/webmasters/crawling-indexing–ranking](http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/webmasters/crawling-indexing–ranking). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [A little help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-little-help-5/) * [Valerie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valeriyan/) * (@valeriyan) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-little-help-5/#post-2849905) * If that’s a screenshot of a Google search you posted, then you cannot do that. * Google has algorithms which decide when a website will have its sections listed under its main search result, and you cannot change it on your own. * The best thing you can do it provide relevant links on your front page and perhaps Google’s algorithms will decide they’re relevant enough to pull them up when your site comes up in the search results. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Not able to change font-size](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-able-to-change-font-size/) * [Valerie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valeriyan/) * (@valeriyan) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-able-to-change-font-size/#post-2849903) * Each popular link you have also encloses its text in a `span` element, like this: ` link text here` * The class wpp-post-title has 3 css styles: font-size, font-weight, line-height, which are applied after the `` style which you’re trying to change. * So, you can remove the span element from the links or remove the styles from the wpp-post-title class or style the wpp-post-title instead of the `` element. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [HTTP 500 Error after installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-500-error-after-installation/) * [Valerie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valeriyan/) * (@valeriyan) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-500-error-after-installation/#post-2848473) * The website shows content for me (in Toronto).

Reupload the file /wp-includes/template.php to the server via ftp (that’s where the function locate_template() is defined). 2. Reupload the file /wp-includes/general-template.php to the server via ftp. (the file exists in the files I’ve got for WordPress 3.4) * If that doesn’t work, I’d try reuploading the wp-admin and wp-includes directories. * You didn’t specify a website but when I searched for vancouverwoodsmith, it returned a website with your error so I’m guessing that yours. Just fyi, some of your pages still work 🙂 * Val Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total)
