    I am still experimenting and trying to get a site up and working ??

    I have so many problems I cant begin to fathom how I could mess it up so bad, how do I use custom images for the navigation thing? how do I center the menu-items, how do I make the menu-items images reasonable sizes without losing quality or visibility?

    how do I make a distinct page for each of the five comics I am supposed to be hosting for several peopple, how do I make sure those pages only display blog posts relevent to that comic?

    how do I keep the comic from showing up on the front page?

    how do I set teh calender up to display the release schedule of each comic on the site?!

    how… everything….

    yes I did… and nothign is working… literally nothing I am doing to the code is changing anything on the page itself. Like I literally deleted the entire code and lleft a blank file and it wasnt even changed slightly.

    Its baffling me.

    All I want is this.

    To look like this.

    looks like all you need is

    #header {
       margin: 0 auto;
    }

    added and it centers

    I tried adding it in multiple places, every place concievable… and nothing changed.

    but nothing is changing no matter how much I alter the stylesheet… I literally cleaved huge bits of code from it all at random… and the web page remained identical… absolutely identical to how it looked before.

    I dont know how its possible, but it seems to just not work to put things in the code to change the code… that this… this isnt possible.

    I mean… I literally cut everything out at one point dude… I made the CSS file a completely blank page… and it all looked the same… the CSS file is somehow not affecting the site itself.

    yeah it is, it sounds to me like you’ve got some cache going on on the server, specifically more then likely you have ‘cloudflare’ enabled… disable that while doing any site modifications

    alternatively your browser cache’s style.css as well, so make sure you hit the keys to reload site without cache, on firefox it’s control-R

    i am trying so hard to stay calm, but this is like… I did everything… I did everything in my power to learn to work with wordpress, to make comicpress look how I wanted.

    and now its just not workign for no reason…

    It finally looked like I was going to be able to have a webcomic and little entertainment site, btu this is like god trying to stop me or some insanity. There is no reason for this to not be working, there is no reason for any of this this doesnt make sense.

    I dont know what to do…

    okay, I am going to see about those things i didnt see that while I was writing my whiney little rant just then.

    just like tell me this… this bit here/

    #header {
    display: block;
    overflow: hidden;
    max-width: 200%;
    z-index: 500;
    }

    #header .description {
    display: none;
    margin-center: 140px;
    }

    .header-info {
    float: left;
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 10px;
    }

    Do I change something about this? do I remove a piece and replace it with something? what do I do with this stuff to make it center teh header…

    The only thing you need to do is add margin: 0 auto; to #header

    that’s it, nothing more than what you currently have

    I did that 22 times… why did it work that time…

    I dont want to know I am just going to take success when it happens, accidental or not.

    Now all I need to do is learn to remove that giant intrusive white block from teh background, turn links blue and the home page problem will be solved, and I will just move onto needing the templates done to make the landing pages and then I will never bother another human again with being over emotional.

    thanks for the incredibly patient assistance with all of this…

    I figured out how to change the links from red to blue… by doing something that was somehow not working earlier…. why is suddenly stuff working…

    Theme Author Frumph

    (@frumph)

    You probably had a CSS error, and CSS stops being interpreted at the point where the error was, somehwere along the line you fixed the error so it started working

    Thread Starter ralok

    (@ralok)

    maybe, I am not sure though… I am just glad everything is working now ??

    now all that is left is to use templates on pages to make landing pages that are easily linkable for all of the comics on my site… or whatever it is you said earlier on this thread, its all still very confusing too me but the confusion is starting to vanish.

    Frumph, your advice on how to create sub-pages for each comic worked perfectly for me. Thank you.

    The following is simply my re-wording of your advice in step-by-step instructions. These re-wording is for people like myself, who may benefit from an extreme level of clarity.

    My website: https://www.pengrenades.com

    My problem:
    I have a website with two cartoonists, and I wanted each cartoonist to have a page with just his cartoons.

    What I did right:
    * I gave each cartoonist his own chapter.
    * The chapters were numbered, and I wrote down these numbers.
    * I rewrote the code Frumph provided for “ralok” for my own website. (https://www.future-bound-entertainment.com/prototype/?latest=# was rewritten as https://www.pengrenades.com/justin-green-comics/?latest=4. 4 is the chapter number I needed to use to create a chapter-based page for creator Justin Green.)

    What I did wrong:
    * I went to comics –> config –> navigation, I ignorantly looked for Frumph’s exact phrase “in chapter only.” The box that needs to be checked is labeled “Navigate through all the chapters and not all comics.”
    * I attempted to the url link into an existing page. Wrong move. What Frumph was saying is that a page is automatically created by going to Appearance –> Menus, and opening the box named “Links.” Within the “Links” box, paste the URL you’ve rewritten for your website and chapter in the top box. In the second box, which is called “Link Text,” then type a name for the page you’re about to create. Finally, press “Add to Menu”…

    …and BAM, your new chapter-based page is added to your menu. Press the button “Save Menu” and take a look at your website.

    You can see the page I created at: https://www.pengrenades.com/justin-green-comics/?latest=4
