Need help tweaking template

(@brandyd2011)

I have completed item #1, but I still need to get rid of the extra box in the nav menu that contained RSS feed.

1. The first thing you will have to do is find where the RSS is being called i would guess that it may be in your header file or your index. its hard to say without seeing the actual template however the easiest way would be to look for <div class="rss" > ... </div>. the inside probably has this php function

if you just delete from the start to end div that should remove the rss link.

2. I assume you are referring to the Breadcrumb that looks like “Home > Career” this is probably located within your index or page files again hard to say without seeing the actual theme files but it should be positioned in a <div class="breadcrumb"> ... </div> again simply deleting from the start to end div tags will remove this.

3. looking at this it looks like you have a border however it #FFFFFF which is white so it is blending in with your background.
I would probably use the following css

border-right: 1px solid #00000ff the first number is the width of the border the second is the style and final is the color.

4. the grid lines because you are using tables are structural (basically an empty table cell) so to get rid of it the easiest would be to use a custom template file.

this will help you create a template file only called at certain times

creating this file and then tweaking the table to collapse or remove the td with width 5 should resolve this.
page-{slug}.php

hope this helps.

Item #2 is also complete. I only need help adding the right table border to the template.

Thanks!

Thanks, aphill. I was able to remove the RSS feed and adjust the nav menu width to remove the extra box.

Where would I add the CSS in the style.css file? The code is pasted below:

Ok to put the css into the css file we will need to add a class to the <td> that you want the border on so that we can target it.

so go to whatever <td> you want and add class="border-right" to the td element.

now at the very bottom of your css file add the following line.

td.border-right{border-right: 1px solid #0000ff;}

the td tells the css we want a td and the . means class all the td’s with class border right will then have a right border of whatever you specify the settings to be.

Hope that makes sense

Thanks. I added the line to the CSS file and added the class to the td element on the homepage, however I still don’t have a border.

(@aphill70)

What page and element are you trying to add it to?

I am looking on the career page and can’t find the new class.

My bad i read too fast.

add #content before the line i gave you

#content td.border-right{border-right: 1px solid #0000ff;}

Thread Starter

(@brandyd2011)

OK. Thanks, that worked. I just need to add the element on the other pages.

On the career page, I want the border to be left, right, top and bottom. I had to add a center column that’s blank, so I can’t put the border on the entire table. Should I add the same td.border for left, top and bottom to the css?

(@aphill70)

if you do a

#content td.border{border: 1px solid #0000ff}

that will put all four borders on the element you give class=”border”
