Where does a noob start – Website not looking anything like the demos
-
Good Afternoon,
As the title says where does a noob start
I have been teaching myself HTML & CSS for the past 6 months to a basic understanding, I did try to build a wordpress website before but gave up as the website theme looked nothing like the demo pictures provided and I seemed to spend weeks looking at all sorts of themes. But I have a few questions if someone can spare a few moments a provide a little guidance.
1. When I set a post ‘featured image’ does that have any relationship to the image that is shown in the recent posts section for a home page ? the image I uploaded in the post was 800px height, I set this as the featured image as there was only the one and the recent post showed the full size photo where I was expecting a thumbnail of some description.
2. Is there a free backup plugin that backsup both the front end, content, and also the backend DB? I have used a few plugins without success or are premium for a full backup. As it’s only going to be a very small website just for family and friends I wanted to keep the cost to a minimum.
3. What is the easiest way to resize different things, for example there is a couple of themes where the header is at least 200px too high so I’d like to trim it down. is there a php file or is the height of different things all set in the CSS file.
Thank you in advance for helping a noob
Andy
