Hello I am looking for some help

  • Hello
    I recently downloaded wordpress and I am using the Esplanade theme. I have been able to follow some of the questions and answers, but not all. As I am learning to use these tools, I have bumped into a few problems.

    I removed my heading (title) “Hello World” and now some other weird wording popped up. ALso, I tried adding some widgets, and it added more than I asked for plus it duplicated all my tabs.

    I am not familiar with coding or the other fancy stuff, but I am learning and willing to learn, so please be nice. I am trying to learn how to build my website, because I do not have the money to pay anyone. I will not be a pest, again, I do search for answers before asking.

    If I posted this Topic in the wrong section, please direct me to the right on. Again thanks.

    My site is payarctpayroll.com

  • Hi!

    I’m glad to hear you’re willing to learn! Building your own website is fun, rewarding, and easier than most people think (at least, in my opinion).

    I visited your site, and it looked good to me. Could you be more specific about your problems? For example, I don’t actually see any widgets on your site, or any duplicated tabs.

    Hello
    Thanks for responding. After playing around with my site, I was able to remove the duplicates.

    Another question, can I remover the “search website” feature or no?

    Again, thanks

    Yes.

    If you look under your Appearance menu, you’ll see a link to the Editor. This lets you modify the code to your theme. You’ll want the Header (header.php) file, where the search form is being pulled in from.

    Actually, it’s best to use a Child Theme on top of your theme, so if the theme author sends out a new version, it won’t overwrite your changes.

    In your Header file (or the header.php copy in your Child Theme), look for this code:

    <?php get_search_form( $echo ); ?>

    This gets the search form, so obviously all you have to do is delete it. You can read more about it here.

    I’d also suggest posting on the theme’s dedicated forum: https://www.onedesigns.com/support/forum/theme-support/esplanade
