Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Need help changing website headerI still have the MAJOR CONCERN about the custom theme and removal of the string issues, so I’ll repeat my questions below. Thanks Ammu Themes for the code for adjusting the header. Rather than add the plugin, can I achieve the same objective by adding the code to the custom.css file via cpanel/File Manager?
REPEAT OF ORIGINAL REQUESTS FOLLOWS
Several years ago I obtained the Tribune theme (WPZoom) as part of a package from Authority ROI. I was not happy with that theme, so I had a contractor customize it. Since the theme had been customized, I was afraid to apply WPZoom updates. Is that a legitimate concern? Without the updates, can I expect future problems? If so, what kind of problems?Also, I want to reduce the height of the header in my customized Tribune theme without encroaching on my logo and tagline. I found some code in the Forum that MAY work but I don’t know if it is correct or where to place the code. Please tell me how to make the change and provide the exact code. My test website is testing.laughandheal.com.
Finally, I want to remove the string ‘Authority: ‘ from the tagline. The contractor must have hardcoded the tagline because it does not show in the tagline parameter of the theme. I ran a search of the public_html folder for the string but to no avail. Please tell the file folder or file where I might find the string.
Thank you very much.Regards,

Hello,
I want to add a name and email address field to my comments area at the bottom of my posts and make those fields required. I checked the box on the discussion settings labeled “Comment author must fill out name and e-mail ” for my WordPress site but only the email address field shows. Please tell me how to make the name field show and be required.
Thank you very much!

In reply to: Need steps for upgrading custom site to latest version of WordPressI am confused about the response I got from cloisel versus from support team of my hosting company. Below are their responses, followed by my original request. Please tell me which of the two responses are correct. Thank you! Steve
MY ORIGINAL REQUEST
I need to have my site upgraded to the latest version of WordPress (4.0.1). That website has custom code, developed by a contractor, with major modifications to the Wpzoom Tribune theme. The WordPress version currently used for testing.laughandheal is 3.8.5. I have not updated the permalink structure. Please list the high-level steps of an approach for the upgrade so I can intelligently evaluate detailed bids from contractors.CLOISEL’S RESPONSE
Theme files will be unaffected, it is core files that will change (Anything in the wp-admin and wp-includes directories). If there are modified core files you need to:
1) Never use that contractor again, and
2) figure out what modifications have been made so they can be rewritten to work with the new version.HOSTING COMPANY TEAM RESPONSE (English grammar not the best)
Also please note when you upgrade the wordpress version there no changes affects on wp-contents and settings related to the same.Until and unless you wont make changes in .css files. Also make sure with developer that there is no changes have been done apart from wordpress theme files.

In reply to: Need steps for upgrading custom site to latest version of WordPressThank you for taking time to reply. However, there is the following warning on that webpage that motivated me to post to this forum and get some detailed advice on how to proceed with the upgrade.
WARNING: The upgrade process will affect all files and folders included in the main WordPress installation. This includes all the core files used to run WordPress. If you have made any modifications to those files, your changes will be lost.
