That doesn’t work. It makes the About Me black and tiny while the other letters are orange and big, like the black and tiny ones should be.

Anybody? Buehler???

Ok, but mine doesn’t look like that and when I try to copy and paste a section and manipulate it to what I want it to be, it screws up the entire sidebar. This is the coding in mine:

<ul>
<!-- ADMIN CONSOLE --><br />
<li id="meta"><?php _e('Admin:'); ?>

<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>

<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
</ul>
<!-- YOUR LINKS --><br />
<?php get_links_list(); ?>

<!-- POSTS BY CATEGORY --><br />
<li id="categories"><?php _e('Categories:'); ?>

<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
</ul>
</li>
How do I add sections to this? I know html, but not php and I’m assuming this is php based.

The theme name is postcards from the edge. The blog address is https://www.mouthymom.com

Never mind, it’s gone!! Thanks again, folks!!

I followed those directions on the login file (which is the one the error is bringing up…and it’s still doing it.

I ONLY did the delete thing with the last ?>, I didn’t mess with anything in the middle of the file.

The first part of the file is <?php and the last part is ?>.

I even deleted the file and re-uploaded it and THEN did the delete thing again. I’m still getting the error messages.

Thanks!!

Ok, that’s working, BUT (and isn’t there always a butt??)

I CANNOT, for the life of me, figure out how to change the password to the SQL database user!!

Did that, still getting:

Warning: main(/home/kerih/public_html/wp-includes/wp-l10n.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/kerih/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 69

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/home/kerih/public_html/wp-includes/wp-l10n.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp’) in /home/kerih/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 69

Yes, I think. I am using the sign in name and password that was created when I created the wordpress database.

Here is the info from the SQL database area:
Perl $dbh = DBI->connect(“DBI:mysql:kerih_wordpress:localhost”,”kerih_kerih”,”<PASSWORD HERE>”);
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect (“localhost”, “kerih_kerih”, “<PASSWORD HERE>”) or die (‘I cannot connect to the database because: ‘ . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db (“kerih_wordpress”);

and this is what I put in the wp-config data:
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘kerih_wordpress’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(‘kerih_kerih’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘toebaby’, ‘password’); // …and password
define(‘localhost’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

Ok, now I must have fixed something because I’m getting this:

Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at DB_HOST.

Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

So here I am, in the forums!

Thank you all, truly!!! It looks WONDERFUL!! Ya’ll save me from SOO much aggravation!

Ok, it would help if I made the image a gif file!

It’s up!

Once again, thank you all! I really appreciate how hard you all work at this! You’re like CSI for WP!!!

Ok, folks, here’s what we have now, and no image:

#header {
background: url(‘images/ThisMomsLife1.jpg’);
width: 752px;
height: 217px;
margin: 0 auto;
border-bottom: 10px solid #9BBB38;
}

}
#hmenu {
margin: 2px 5px 0 0;
text-transform:lowercase;
text-align: right;
float: right;
width: 475px;
}
#masthead {
background: url(images/ThisMomsLife1.jpg);
width: 752px;
height: 217px;
border-bottom: none;
border-top: none;
margin: 0 auto;
}

/* Header Styles */
#header h1 {
margin: 0;
font-size: 1.8em;
}
#header h1 a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #80904F;
}

I didn’t understand if you were saying I needed to change the colon after background to a semi-colon, or if I needed to put NOTHING after the background rule. I tried both and it still isn’t showing up.
