Thank you.. i checked out the images and deleted the extra one. I think it helped me. Still trying to get the blog page to display correctly with it’s unique header. I appreciate your help noticing that image thing.
Thanks again.

The author/category/date is showing on the blog page but not the excerpts. I would like to have all 3 on excerpts.

Thanks very much! That worked perfectly. Simple wisdom, quick solution. I appreciate your response.

Side note: is there a way to view line numbers in the WP Editor? You mentioned line 395 but i didn’t see numbers so just added the line per your description. oh… just googled it.. needs a plugin.

Thanks again!

ok… i have the horizontal menu back but the header image now only shows on the home page… trying to get it to appear again on all pages like it was before.

Thank you so much for helping me, Christine. I did enable the css editing so i could get into it and override the theme. Also i installed the plugin you suggested but haven’t used it yet. I’ve been trying to find that orange color #f37d35 in the style.css editor but so far not locating it. Now somehow i’ve lost my horizontal navigation bar – it’s gone vertical and hiding. Not sure what i did because i was trying to be cautious not to change anything permanently. Maybe we could start with that… recovering my horizontal nav bar? Thanks for your help and patience…

My nav bar is included in my main header on all pages – so i guess i would need to copy that code and include that in the blog header so it would appear. Would that work? Let me know what code you would need to see to answer. Thank you!

Sorry – i missed your advice in your first reply. I did as you said and changed the bottom margin to 0 and added position absolute. This didn’t adversely affect any of the other pages but it DID re-position the footer content to be inside rather than outside the gray bar as it was before. However not sure that on that one page i can use absolute position because now the gray footer bar is forced to be in exactly the same position as it is on the other pages (which is why it’s overlapping the posts) and the blog page with multiple posts will become longer so the footer has to be pushed down as the page grows.

Maybe i’ll just eliminate the footer on that page – if i can.
Any other suggestions are so appreciated.

Actually there was no content on either of the blog pages. I think WP is causing the blog posts to come in automatically on the “blog” page and not on the “test-blog” page. So i deleted the “test-blog” page because at least the posts are appearing properly on the blog page. Now i just need to resolve why on that one page the footer is not properly positioned. I appreciate your input. If you think viewing some of the files could help find the answer, just let me know which files you’d like to see.
Thanks again…

Actually i did create most of the pages while taking a web design class last fall and then have continued to work on the site intermittently since then. When i began to work on it from home i just logged in to my wp-admin page and continued my work. I don’t recall that i installed WP a 2nd time.

I noticed that i have 2 blog pages listed in the Pages section:
– this one: https://gracechurchhouston.com/test-blog/
– and this one: https://gracechurchhouston.com/blog/
The first one seems to have the footer positioned properly (once i resolve the excerpt lengths in the sidebar)
The second one is where i’m seeing all the blog posts showing up and also is the one linked to the Blog link in the nav bar – but has the footer issue.
Maybe i need to delete the “blog” page and rename the “test-blog” page to “blog”?
Thanks for any insight you have!

I’m using a blank theme built from scratch in a web design class last fall. (forgot to mention the theme in my question)
Thanks for your response.

I appreciate your reply. I just looked at the “Uploaded To” column and all the images show to be “Unattached” (with link of “Attach” below it)… even though all images are showing on all the pages, ie logo, nav slice, header, etc. I guess I’m not sure of the purpose to “Attach” each image to all pages if they’re already showing on them. Maybe you could clarify?
Thanks,
Ann

It’s a blank theme I’m customizing. But you’re right… it must be a browser issue. I was having the issue with Chrome, but i just checked it in IE and Firefox and the full bar is coming in when i refresh. So not sure what it is but not a big issue right now i guess. Thanks so much for your quick reply. That helped!

It worked! Well i just added it to my CSS and it adjusted spacing. Didn’t do it in child theme or plugin. I’ll need to adjust excerpt lengths so they won’t go over footer area. Might need to have a div container for that sidebar. I’m sure more questions to come…
Thanks for your quick response though. I appreciate your help.
