In reply to: [Encounters Lite] Using a child theme to change footerHi fiberlyone,
I haven’t tried out Encounters Lite but if there is an option in the theme settings to change the text of the footer, you can use it safely. Child themes are to make changes to the core files and behavior of the theme.

In reply to: Line Breaks On A Short LeadHi Adam,
On the first look, I couldn’t find what you meant since the design looks good. I think adding line breaks to the excerpt would not improve readability but it can be tested.
Here’s a nice article which should put you on the right track: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/67498/how-to-include-line-breaks-in-the-excerpt

In reply to: food press slider not workingGood thing that you reported the theme.
I wish I could tell you but each theme can have their own setting pages and I don’t know that theme. Wasn’t there any documentation that came with the theme which could point you in the good direction ?
Can you describe your problem with the slider ? I do see it working on your site but there seems to be an issue with the size of your images which makes them overlap. Try resizing your images to 620×300 and it should make them fit nicely.

In reply to: From Subdomain to MainIn cpanel, you should have a file manager which will let you move your files around. Be sure to make a backup of your site before, just in case. this can also be done in cpanel.
Otherway would be to use a FTP software to move the files but I find it is taking longer than the file manager from cpanel. The FTP credentials should be in Hostgator’s welcome email.
Good luck

In reply to: Need to shrink space between header and contentGood call Andrew.
They are tools which help you visualize and edit your loaded page on the fly and see how they affect the display. You can easily see missing files, script errors, loading times, loaded resources, calll javascript functions, etc.
Chrome comes bundled with the developper tools by default. Right click an element and click Inspect.
Internet explorer has it also by default.
Here’s the link to firebug: http://getfirebug.com/
If it is the padding before the post title that you wish to shrink, you’ll need to apply your css like this
.entry-content h1 {
padding-top: SomeValue;
}Hope this helps.

In reply to: [raindrops] Hide tags from the home page?Quick fix but not the best:
Add custom CSS for div.entry-meta{display:none;}It is not the best because the content is still being loaded but not shown to the user. However, it is the easiest one.
Otherwise, you could create a child theme, copy the index.php from your theme to the child theme and then remove where the post meta data is being generated.
Hope this helps

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Can't installAFAIK, Site Builder is a different site management and building software than WP. I don’t think the 2 of them are working together.
Can you post the error message being displayed and the scenario in which you encounter it ?
@wpyogi: is it fine if I keep answering here even for posts which should have their own thread ?

In reply to: remove border on my headerHi Ludas,
Your site still has issues, the main page doesn’t seem to be present. Which other modifications have you done ? Can you try to revert them. It seems like you changed things and no longer have an index.php file in your web root.
You can play directly with the theme files but make sure you have a working backup before doing so if you are unsure of what you are doing. It will save you a lot of time if something goes wrong.
Let me know when the site is running again so I can further assist you.
@andrew Nevins, thanks for the resources you posted.

In reply to: remove border on my headerThat bar is actually the menu background. The image there is your logo which is too big and skews the display.
If you go in custom css, you’ll be able to paste this and it should solve your issue

In reply to: [Virtue] Can't get the dropdown menu to showIn your admin Appearance>Menus, do you have nested pages/posts under “About the app” ?
That should fix it.

In reply to: food press slider not workingAre you sure the slider is being active and placed on the homepage ? The javascript seems fine (only with a quick look, no errors) but there is no #slider container for it to initialize.
Also, you have 2 404 errors which you will want to fix. Those files are being called but missing.
