    Hi,
    I have three questions actually. This is my first time using WordPress.

    1) I’m using the Box of Boom theme and I’m trying to delete that border on top. (www.whataboutstocks.com) It’s the part that’s above “just another wordpress site”

    2) Is there a way that I can make the site first before it’s up on the web? Because I’m trying to play with wordpress and it posts everything right away.

    3) I’ve looked through answers on the forum and see people in their answers putting things like “delete php:< ” and codes like that. Where do I get to those pages that I can do that? Or they say create an index.php?? How do I do that?

    Thank you in advance.

    –>Setting->general->delete taglign field.

    Thanks kevindng–
    For 1) I’m talking about the border above “just another wordpress site”. How do I get rid of that?

    For 4) I have Meta under my “Available Widgets” in settings. I tried putting it in the sidebar and then back to available widgets because I read somewhere that would disable it, but it’s still there.

    Thanks!

    The border is part of the background of the Header element. Go to your admin section. Under Appearance > Editor, Edit the style.css file of the theme “Box of Boom”. Search for the word site-title, you will see something like this below

    #site-title {
    
    		font-family: 'IM Fell English SC', serif;
    		font-size:50px;
    		padding-top:20px;
    		padding-bottom:50px;
    		text-shadow: 2px 2px 5px #000;
    		text-align:center;
    		background:url(library/images/title-sep.png) no-repeat center bottom;
    		margin:0;
    	}

    Remove the line with the background parameter background:url(library/images/title-sep.png) no-repeat center bottom;. This will remove the border from your theme display.

    Thanks the codeisclear. I followed your instructions, but it’s still there.

    I tested this on my Blog (https://justscribbl.in) and the border is removed. I checked your website and the style.css still shows the code for background. Did you update the file after editing?

    Hi thecodeisclear,
    Yes, I updated and what happened was the design got all funky, so I restored it. I tried it again just now, and nothing happened. But no worries. It’s starting to grow on me.
    Thank you so much for you help.

    THECODEISCLEAR!
    It worked! I had to restart my computer for the changes to take effect. Thank you so much!

    By any chance, is it possible to change the colors of this theme?

    Welcome. I think it required a clearing of the cache to see the effect.

    By editing the style.css of the theme, you can customize the colors. A quick fix is to change the background image & header image, since most of the colors (in CSS) are dark and should blend easily with other combinations (IMO).
