A few issues on our business WordPress website

    Hello,

    I’ve taken over helping out with the technical aspect of the business I work for. The thing is that they paid some company to set up the WordPress website and there are a lot of things I don’t know and can’t really figure out with WordPress. I posted here in the past and have gotten a lot of help (WPyogi – you rock). And I would love it if you can assist me in some problems with this website. The company website is https://www.houseoftutors.edu
    Here are some things I can’t seem to figure out:

    1. Notice there’s this annoying contact us form where the email box is longer and looks different than the other forms – this shows up on the main page and also in a lot of pages on the left hand side. I just don’t know where that form is located and how I can edit the “email” box to appear as the other ones.

    2. The main image on the front page (where it says “get into the college you want”…) as well as under “ESL Program” (where it says “providing intensive…” – how can I figure out how to edit both the image as well as its link? My boss wants to perhaps change this to a running slide of a few other pictures (each with their respective links attached) – is that possible?

    3. Somewhat related to the previous problem – the background on each page is different, because it matches the “main image” on each page. Is there a way to make all the background images the same? This might be somewhat of an issue as I can imagine. Some pages don’t have any background, so at least somehow edit those?

    4. How can we edit the running slide in the home page and under the “ESL Program”? My boss wants to add more videos to those slides and I can’t figure it out.

    5. We are trying to set up Google Analytics but can’t seem to get it to work. I have the JS code from Google up on the footer.php as well as the header.php and a few other main pages – I tried putting it both just above the </body> tag as well as just below the <head> tag. When I go to Google Analytics page, it still shows up as 0 visitors though. Is there a way to monitor what pages are being accessed and not just through the main page? I know this might be offtopic but I’m sure some people here have experience with Analytics.

    6. Would you happen to know how to control some SEO? I’m very ignorant on adding meta tags or whatever is needed (perhaps through embedded codes in WordPress) to bump our page up on Google through different search phrases, would you know how to do that without necessarily paying search engines?

    Thank you very very much in advance.

    Your questions, both in number and scope, are beyond the limit of what this forum is for. IMHO. With as many questions you have and the yet to be posted follow-ups you need to hire some help.

    Thanks, sorry about the mass of messages then. I am not sure my boss would be willing to hire professional support so I will try to figure things out.

    Is there any chance we can get help with #1? That’s the one that’s the most urgent at the moment. I can’t seem to figure out how to fix that email box and where to find it.

    Thank you.

    Try this:

    .wpcf7-email {
      -moz-border-bottom-colors: none;
    -moz-border-left-colors: none;
    -moz-border-right-colors: none;
    -moz-border-top-colors: none;
    background: url("images/bg-input.jpg") repeat-x scroll center top rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    border-color: #D4D4D4;
    border-image: none;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 0 1px;
    display: inline-block;
    line-height: 18px;
    padding: 5px;
    width: 205px;
}

    Post #1 as a new topic with a link demonstrating the problem. The size is determined by CSS.

    Developer tools in Chrome, Firefox and IE can help you identity what CSS controls what element.

    There are a countless number of books about WordPress and excellent demonstrations of “how to” on YouTube.

    Thank you both for your help. WPyogi – that fixed it! (I changed the width up to percentage but it looks good now)

    Thanks.
