No it didn’t. But I whined enough at the site creator and he logged into the site and added this code to the Custom CSS field on the “Styles” tab on the “EvoLve Settings” page:

.widget_execphp .widget-content .execphpwidget {
position:relative;left:-20px;text-align:center;width:320px;
}

It fixed it! Yeah!! I am so happy!

Andrea and Ipstenu, THANKS!

I learned 2 things this week:
The proper way to back up wordpress through the admin console and that the appearance of the site is in the database not the files.

Thanks again, I’m gonna mark this as resolved!

The site creator fixed the issue with the theme.

I begged and he logged in and added this code to the Custom CSS field on the “Styles” tab of the EvoLve Settings page that installed with the theme.

.widget_execphp .widget-content .execphpwidget {
position:relative;left:-20px;text-align:center;width:320px;
}

Ads look good now, sorry for the long post and the whining!

Thanks for the words, I started a new thread in the troubleshooting section. So you can close this one!

I went to the site for the theme, and was told to past this code:

.widget_execphp .widget-content {
margin-left:10px !important;
}
into the “Custom CSS” field on the “Styles” tab on the “EvoLve Settings” Page and click “save settings” I did so and there was no change.

I’ve now been told that it’s my problem and they are not going to code my site for me.

Great, I add a picture with their theme interface, and cannot remove it, because there is no way to remove it with their GUI, so I’m stuck hitting the reset button. Messes up my site appearance. When I ask for assistance I’m given one fix that doesn’t work, and then get told, figure it out for yourself, it’s not my problem?

5 weeks ago I got a call and was fired with no notice because IBM rebid a contract for less people. I’m told, my finances are not their problem. I’m having trouble finding a job, and I’m trying to remain positive and work hard at my own site, while defaulting on my mortgages. Then I run into this sort of a problem.

You know how it is, when your down, your down, and it’s no ones problem but mine….right?

Sorry, I’m ranting, I’m a little stresses these days!

Any ideas on where to go to get help fixing this? I realize that most people are going to want me to figure it out for myself or pay them to figure it out for me.

I guess being unemployed I’m stuck figuring it out for myself!

Thanks for responding to me, I really really appreciate the kindness, it’s been really rare for me these days.

OK, any advice on how to manually fix it?

As far as I can tell at this point, the only thing that appears different is that the side bar widgets are thinner than before, and the code doesn’t center in them, and 300 pixel ads display out of the box.

The thing that is weird is that the I’m not sure how changing the header affected the side bar, AND, I changed nothing on in the header besides adding a picture, and removing it. I hesitated on resetting it, but when I looked things over, it was a standard header with no modifications to it, no ads, nothing, I figured all I would have to do is add back in my social networking info after reset and I’d be good to go.

So why resetting it, messed things up, and affected the side bar I’ll never know.

I have messaged the site for my theme to see if they can help?

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond Ipstenu I appreciate your time, and looking at my site!!

Ipstenu,

Thanks, I really appreciate the kind words, I’m was almost in tears over this! I needed to get the old Calm Down, take a DEEEEEP Breath advice!! Thanks!

OK, the site is still up and running you are correct there, and all the content is still there. I backed up the site through the “Direct Admin” interface after the Theme had messed up, so I could protect the content, that was today, Feb. 17.

I restored the site with the last Direct Admin Back up from Jan 18, and then up loaded my files with filezilla, to the restored Jan 18th version of the site. All the content was still missing, even though I had uploaded the files from Feb. 16th. So I gave up!

I restored the site with the Direct admin Back up from today Feb 17th, and I’m back to square one with the site up with all the content, just the Theme looks weird.

So to answer your question, I believe the database is still intact.

I have emailed my hosting admin asking him if he has a recent BU of the site.

I did not ask him how to look at the database, and I don’t know how to do that, but like I said, it appears to all be there, as all my content is back.

I have managed to fix a lot of the issues with the appearance, and the last problem is the PHP Code: widgets in the sidebar. Ads aren’t centered.

Thing is the width of the side bar has changed and I don’t know how to fix it!

All this was brought about by me simply adding a picture to the header, and then removing it!

I backed up the site with my through my site admin as is. Restored it from the old back up from a month ago. All my content was gone!

I uploaded the files and folders from my hard drive, and no go, none of the changes show up all the content is gone.

I restored it to the back up from today, so I have all my content back, but the Theme appearance is still screwed up, and I have no idea how to fix this…..I am so discouraged and disgusted with myself, I have screwed this up so badly!!

Maybe I have no business even trying to do this?

Thanks for all of yours help, Sorry to have bothered you!

Oh MY GOD, so all this time that I was backing up my site files with filezilla, and I wasn’t backing anything up at all, I was just backing up the files.

Can I restore my site by using an old “Admin Console Backup” from a month ago, and then add my most recent file back ups from my hard drive?

Or am I screwed here?

I do not understand your reply, can you please be a little more specific?

Oh Forgot to add, my URL https://www.savingdave.com

Buy that man a beer….if you drink beer? OK now that I look like an idiot, I’ve been reading and reading on how to get this, searching and searching, saying it’s got to be in there….I read a lot about editing code in css h1 h2 h3, but none of my searches brought this up…thank you!!

I can’t believe I never clicked on that link, I thought it was somehing like the <more> key, KitchenSink eh? OK

I know this is an old post, but I guess this was the answer I was loking for.

When I go into the page to edit posts and or pages I do not see these functions.

my installationion does not have any of these functions, when I edit a post I only have one font size and style, no option at all for any font size, no choice at all of colors, and no option to use different fonts.

Only choices for the text are bold and itailic.

What gives. I installed wordpress 2.9.1 and I have a demo theme Options 1.1.2, I thought it might be my theme, but I activated the Kubric theme and still none of theser options exist in tool bar above the window where I type in the text for my posts and pages.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to add these functions, I’m really not a PHP code writer. Is it just 2.9 that is missing this, did older versions have it?
