Could anyone point me in the right direction? My theme is WordPress Twenty Eleven..

https://argusgazette.com/

I had been using web developer, but it doesn’t work great with WordPress. I’ve switched to Firebug, and it works like a dream, thanks esmi ??

hmmm, that’s curious, .entry-title, is already in my child theme’s CSS, yet the formatting is only reflecting on the .entry-title a and not on the .entry-title..

.entry-title, .entry-title a {
color: #CC3300;
text-decoration: none;
}

Ok, thanks, yes I’m aware it’s not a link ?? Any ideas on how I can edit the title on the single post page to have the same colour, font size, and font type as the main page posts?

Thank you! I changed nothing, but I contacted my host with the issue, and now it’s sorted. Thank you so much for your time & efforts! ??

yep, I’ve done that!

This is the code in the index.php file;

<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

Sorry, didn’t mean to bump. Nope, I’m defo doing something wrong, amending the code to what you stated still doesn’t do the trick.

Can I confirm which option I should be following? I have a root folder called argusgazette.com in my host’s control panel. This contains my WordPress folder.

I’m trying to amend the URL from argusgazette.com/wordpress to remove ‘wordpress’.

Have I chosen the correct option in following the instructions on ‘When your Domain Name or URLs Change’?

Maybe it would be less tricky to uninstall WordPress and begin again, this time using the correct URL of argusgazette.com. Would that be possible?

Ok, I’ll hold my hands up, I’m slightly lost.

My intention is to change my website address from argusgazette.com/wordpress to argusgazette.com.

Following the instructions on the Giving WordPress Its Own Directory page,

This is what I’ve done;

In the box for Site address (URL): changed the address to the root directory’s URL. : https://argusgazette.com

In this root directory I have a folder called WordPress which was created when I downloaded WordPress.

Created a .htaccess file, added the code from the Using “Pretty” permalinks page and copied it into my argusgazette.com root directory;

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Copied index.php and from the WordPress root directory(not from the actual WordPress twenty eleven theme folder) into the root directory called argusgazette.com.

Next I opened my root directory’s index.php file & Changed the line that says:
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
to
require(‘./argusgazette.com/wp-blog-header.php’);

When I try and got to argusgazette.com it returns the below

Warning: require(./argusgazette.com/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/argusgazette.com/index.php on line 17

Please excuse my ignorance! Some guidance would be super ??

[No bumping, thank you.]

I might be changing that custom header option for some flash in the future ??

Thanks a lot for your input! it’s been great ??

Wow, thanks a lot WPyogi!

What do you mean by I also just noticed that you have the header image outside the hgroup tags?

I added the header in Appearance – Header – Custom Header. Is there something I should amend?

And re the border, how would I get it to begin at the Home button and end at the end of the search box?

And lastly, I wanted my whole page to be white, how can I change the grey parts on either side of the main section to white?

That’s everything!

Your laughter = me sweating to fix things! ??

The shadow above the header remains?

And also curious if there is a method of increasing only the header(including the menu bar) width, without increasing the content width?

The general menu bar look I’m going for is similar to this https://www.argusgazette.com/, not sure if we can add a 2em bottom border to the menu bar?

I do appreciate your help guys ??

hmmm, I’ve actioned the changes, yet my site doesn’t seem to be reflecting them. I’ve also noticed my entry-title color, even though I’ve changed it to #CC3300 has reverted to #CC3300.

Maybe the issue is with my child theme in some way?
