OK thank you.

Hi. I downloaded the theme from Themeforest. Does that help in anyway??

I have been in touch with the people who made the Theme but, they have asked for my login credentials to my blog so they can look at the backend. I’ve already checked plugins and reinstalled the theme a couple of times with no luck.

Thank you for all the help. I did a bit of a cheat. I now have a flv file running in the background. Makes the content show the way i want it to.

Good though though. !!! Thank you

esmi,

Thank you for the code. Tried the change. Glad to have found where I need to edit code. MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

I’m playing with it as I’d like to make the background block of color transparent also without making the content (text, images etc.) transparent. No luck there yet. But seeing where to add/change the CSS was really useful.

The problem I now have is that I tried adding some lines for opacity but it was making all the content transparent. Any thoughts ideas tips etc – mighty appreciated.

Again – Thank you for the help.

I resolved the problem quite easily if anyone is interested.

First, I created a new database.
Second, created a new user.
Third I noticed that the initial user I created was registered under ‘Local’ as opposed to ‘Localhost’ so I changed this in phpmyadmin and oila, it worked.

So I guess my problem was that when i set up the user I had followed the instructions that I had, however the host on wp-config and on my wp database were not the same.

I should add that I did check the password and other information quite a few times. Just because I wanted to be absolutely sure it wasn’t me I even deleted everything and started again from scratch!

Dear mercime

Thank you for the help. Very useful tip. It imported all my posts and pages which was a bit more than I was hoping for but a very useful tip for the future. Thank you.

There is a plugin worth knowing about that I found at the same time called RSS Import https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/rss-import/ that allows you to import a feed to a page of another site (which is what i had hoped to do).

Thank you again for the support. Appreciated and useful.

Best,
Alex
