• Hello

    I was playing around in my Dashboard over the weekend investigating new themes, etc, hoping that I was not interfering with the ‘live’ site I am responsible for.

    However, when I now go online to see our site here

    https://www.tomorrowswirralwomen.org.uk

    my browser tells me that the site is unavailable.

    How can I get the site back, please? It had a ‘Just Pink’ theme.

    Thanks

  • It would be helpful to know what you did to take it offline. Is this site hosted somewhere? Is the domain and hosting up to date? To me it acts like WP is not even installed, and it seems more like a hosting problem than anything. When you FTP into your site, are your files still there? I assume WP is installed at the root of your site, what files and folders do you see in the root?

    I aimed to replace the Just Pink theme with the iFeature theme which I activated. But I wanted to work on the iFeature theme without it interfering with the live site.

    What I see now in the Dashboard is:

    https://www.bayingwolf.com/iFeatureX.jpg

    It’s as if the live content has merged with the iFeature theme – and become unavailable online. In addition, the iFeature theme proper is nothing like in the screenshot. It has 3 slider photos that take up the width of the Web page.

    So, I don’t really know what’s going on. I am completely new to WP, but I need to get the site – preferably the old one – back up and running.

    Thanks again.

    Hello

    If I am on this page here in Dashboard:

    https://www.bayingwolf.com/Dashboard.jpg

    and click on Save and Publish (top left) will the site be published on the Internet (I seem to have inadvertently taken the old site down)?

    I also wanted to ask about the Tagline. It appears in the black bar along the top as in the screenshot when it should be under the headline ‘Tomorrow’s Wirral Women’ in a different font size and colour. How would I go about doing that, please?

    Thank you.

    In your first post, I was confused by it because the URL you show is
    https://www.tomorrowswirralwomen.org.uk/

    But the actual URL is:
    https://www.tomorrowswomenwirral.org.uk/

    Correct? Is this the simple problem? ??

    Just go back to your themes and activate the other Just Pink theme again. If you want to work with your site without publisjing it live, I suggest a copy of WordPress in a hidden directory or on your local machine using xampp or similar.

    Oh, yes, sorry for the confusion. You have saved my life – I was expecting a dreaded phone call anytime now!

    Thanks for pointing that out.

    How am I able to edit the site you see:

    https://www.tomorrowswomenwirral.org.uk/

    The tagline is not in the correct position and there are two ‘Welcome to our site’ subheadings. I understand I should be able to do that in the Dashboard. Would that be under Appearance | Themes?

    Thanks again for your time.

    No problem. Glad it helped.

    I took a screenshot so we could better understand each other and you could explain what you want: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46HNJGXAQ6gUkVSOGZCbThBSGM/edit?usp=drivesdk

    I only see one “Welcome to our website” heading on the page. Are you referring to the menu link as the second one?

    Where do you want the tagline to be? To edit it you will need to adjust the header.php file in your child theme. Have you already created a child theme?

    Thanks for that.

    Where you have Tagline in your screenshot, that should be under the blue headline ‘Tomorrow’s Women Wirral’ and both should be centred. If I knew how to edit it (!), I would have the tagline in a font smaller than the headline.

    The ‘Welcome to our website’ menu link should be deleted, and the Header, ‘Welcome to our website’ should be centred.

    No, I haven’t created a child theme or anything else. I have been asked to take over the site from someone who maintained it previously and she has since left the charity. I didn’t know anything about WordPress before (I had heard of it, of course) or PHP, let alone how the previous Web person put it all together!

    Well before you go editing anything, you want to create a child theme. Follow the steps here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

    Once you have a child theme going, you can edit your style.css with this code:

    .entry-header {
      text-align: center;
    }

    Once there is a child theme, copy your current theme’s header.php into it. Then you can edit the file, and move the tagline within it.

    To delete the link, you need to create a menu, or edit the existing menu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXvj-Ujp1tQ
