Trying to change text under header, help please…

I’m trying to get rid of the text right under the header

You’d need to edit the theme’s index.php template file and remove that block from the file.

I’m also trying to change the footer text

Try editing footer.php.

and change the settings of my right hand sidebar. I’m trying to modify the size of the text on my posts

Not sure what you mean by “settings” but the rest can probably be done via CSS amendments.

Ok, I changed the header php file (this is where the text was) but there is now a huge gap between the header and my posts, how can I fix that?

I also tried to modify the footer text, but the text was nowhere to be found in the footer php file… Can you help me? Thanks

You didn’t take out enough. You need to remove the <div id="board"> </div> markup as well.

the text was nowhere to be found in the footer php file

Drop a copy of the file into the WordPress pastebin and post the pastebin url here. Perhaps someone will be able to spot the problem and suggest a solution.

Ok, I was able to remove the gao between the header and the text, thanks esmi!

But I still can’t change my footer and I can’t figure it out. I tried to make a new one, but the whole sidebar disapeared… Here is what the file looks like:

Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Looks like you have a rather spammy encoded theme. I’d strongly recommend that you look for a new theme as encoded files can sometimes be used to add all kinds of unwanted code or links to your site. Some of it could even be malicious.

Wow, I sure hope not, I really like the theme… Here’s the pastebin link:

Is there a way I can change the footer only without having to get a new theme? Thanks

You’ll need to see if you can get the footer decoded.

See this thread.

Thanks for your help esmi, greatly appreciated…
