Theme Issue?

  • Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a few little lines from the site that I am creating and don’t know where I should be going to accomplish this.

    Here’s a link to a page in the site that has this issue: https://74.116.195.199/publishers/

    Other than the homepage, all the other pages in my site appear with a little line above the title of the page and also a long line at the bottom of all of the content (below where I have the copyright text) I would really appreciate if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction…where do I go to change this? A CSS sheet? In the server? I have looked through all the options in the WP dashboard and can’t see anything that addresses my problem…

  • Are you using a browser tool like Firebug to work with the CSS? It should show you all the CSS – in this case the first one is here:

    .page-heading {
    background: url("light/sep.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}

    The second here:

    .bottom-block {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #DBDBDB;
    border-top: 1px solid #DBDBDB;
    color: #888888;
    font-size: 11px;
    line-height: 18px;
    padding: 15px 0 35px;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
}

    Best to copy CSS to your child theme and make changes there.

    I just downloaded firebug but I have to figure out how to use it…

    I have a child theme created…but I haven’t copied anything over yet. I will do that and try and see if I can get a handle on firebug….

    You’re using a child theme of this commercial theme and that’s not supported in these forums.

    For theme specific support you really should contact the author.

    For generic CSS assistance give this article a read about using Firebug.

    Using Firebug or Chrome’s “Inspect Element” tool can help you identify and modify the CSS fix that line.

    That CSS should go into your child theme’s style.css file.

    Thanks so much. I appreciate it… I am going to read the article on firebug and see if I can get a good grip on it. I often don’t know where I should be looking to try and change something…if it is a theme specific issue or a WP thing.

    I have tried three times to get some support from the theme’s author but have had no reply up to this point. I like the theme and it works well for what I was after so I don’t want to change it at this point.

    if it is a theme specific issue or a WP thing.

    CSS is always theme-specific. The general guideline is whether you have the same issue in a default theme with all plugins off.

    If the developer isn’t responsive, you really may want to reconsider using that theme – it’s often quite frustrating to have no support :/ .

    Good to know, Thanks. I’ve enlisted the help of a WP wiz to help me things that I can’t change with this theme. I will chose more wisely next time!
