{HOLY CRAP.}

Welp, after receiving intimidating quotes from WordPress design service companies I decided to try and adjust a theme to make it look the way I wanted it to all by myself, and, naturally, I screwed it up instead. 163 errors?! How embarrassing.

I appreciate your input on this topic. Hopefully it will be useful to someone else as far as what direction to take, but with me? Way over my head. Thank you for your professional opinion Eric, I’m sure I’ll be in touch soon.

..My maximum width was re-set to Atahualpa default, even though my typed width is still in the box under design options.. my header size was re-set though what I set it to be is still typed there.. everything went back to Atahualpa despite the fact that my edits are still showing up in all of the options boxes.

Normal? Do I re-set the theme and start over? Ugh.

ClaytonJames.. I hope you are around this weekend.. I need you..

I updated to Atahualpa 3.4.4. Almost everything was re-set to the Atahualpa theme and didn’t save most of my edits that I spent all day yesterday working on.

I’ve had my wordpress for a couple years, but I haven’t made time to figure out this php language and editing themes and whatnot. I am as new to this as they come; greenest of greenhorns.

While my font styles were left in the design option boxes (as times, serif, centered, etc), my journal is reflecting Atahualpa design instead. Do I need to reset the theme and start over?

And where do wordpress themes pull their images from? I was on a PC yesterday, and uploaded my own headers and logo to an FTP. Everything looked great in IE. Now I’m on a mac, and in Firefox and Safari (and after my update), I’m seeing Atahualpa design. If I ever want to change any images in a WordPress theme, do I need to go to an FTP to delete images and re-upload my own? Once a theme is automatically updated like I did this morning, where does it draw the images from? I mean.. where are the images stored? I don’t understand that part of the language. I need to know where to keep mine. I don’t want my theme re-set to default design each time there is an update.. is that just what happens??

I appreciate everyone’s constant help/support while I figure this stuff out.

OH MY GOSH! NEVERMIND!

Thanks again ClaytonJames, I found it! All fixed up!

You guys are wonderful. I can’t stand it when people post comments in here that sound mean and impatient, like they are too annoyed to offer a kindly-typed suggestion.

Thanks again!

THANK YOU ClaytonJames! I don’t know why I didn’t see it before, but I “followed your carrots” and discovered where to edit the footer border. Finished! ??

Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have the same sort of option in my header menu, or even under the ‘header image’ menu. That page nav bar thing just isn’t in there. (??)

And esmi, THANK YOU as well! I went to the php but am discovering the language to be like this:

ul#rmenu
{
background: #<?php echo $bfa_ata_cat_menu_bar_background_color; ?>;
border: <?php echo $bfa_ata_anchor_border_cat_menu_bar; ?>;
}
ul.rMenu li a
{
border: <?php echo $bfa_ata_anchor_border_page_menu_bar; ?>;
}
ul#rmenu li a
{
border: <?php echo $bfa_ata_anchor_border_cat_menu_bar; ?>;

..which I don’t know what that stuff means. I can’t pick out the color code to edit that dashed border waaaay at the top that shows my page navigation.. “home | about”.

Any more ideas?

Much obliged!

Hello!

If I like the border down the sides of my journal with this atahualpa theme..

(www.candacejean.com/journal)

..but I want to get rid of the border that wraps the header (home/about) and the border that sits horizontally along the bottom above the footer, what code do I edit to change just those (but leave the vertical side borders)? I’ve already changed every other border to white that I didn’t want to keep, but I can’t find those last two (above header and at footer).

THANKS SO MUCH for the help!

If you are trying to change the header text to each widget, I think you need to go to:

appearance/theme options/widgets..

and then in the widget title box type in codes like font color and size, etc to change each widget header.

If anyone has tips on how to make the widget header sit higher above the text or widget itself that would be amazing, and please remind me how to center the widget headers?

i’ve put a little blue egg image on the date of each entry, and in the left column there are trees. the blue flower image at the top is the stock template image that i haven’t tried to replace yet.

i’ve reset all browsers… and still my images are not showing in firefox of explorer.
BUT.. if any of you have safari.. my images are showing up there.
this doesn’t make any sense to me???

doesn’t wordpress have an email support?

again.. my journal– https://www.candacejean.com/journal

i’m having this SAME problem. downloaded a template, uploaded it on the ftp, put it in the right directory, all the images are in the folder… but they won’t load in any browser. i found a resolved thread and tried to ask for a better explanation, but no one is explaining. i’m just not familiar enough with coding or wordpress to figure out what any of the “help” really means…

my journal that needs help: https://www.candacejean.com/journal/

i’m at the exact same place that spiritdreamer started with..
but i’m so brand new at wordpress and coding that everything i read as far as help is going over my head.

i need to follow what viabledesign is suggesting i suppose, but really don’t know what to do??

here is my problem journal: https://www.candacejean.com/journal/

can viabledesign’s pointer be broken down into terms for an unlearned beginner?
thank you!
