Cool! I was using Firefox’s built in inspector to view the website in 3D but that didn’t yield a solution, and I certainly wouldn’t have known how to do what you did. Cheers!

I first tried to create a child theme following the instructions on the page you referenced. I pasted the css code you typed in the styles.css files I created in themes\twentythirteen-child\styles.css But that didn’t do anything. So I installed a custom css manager, pasted the code in the window, saved, and it worked great. Thank you!

Just out of curiosity, did you just happen to know that code off the top of your head or did you reference it somewhere?

Best wishes,
Dale

@wpyogi – Thanks for the help. I will follow your suggestions the minute I’m back at work and report the results!

@krishna,
I was saying that “back in the old days” I would code html pages. If I wanted a home page, I would create home.html. But WordPress does not work this way. I think it combines a database containing the things I type in posts or pages with the theme and generates the website on the fly or something, but I’m not quite sure.

Then I said that I created a page called Home but was not able to find anything like home.html or home.php anywhere on my site ftp. So when I read instructions that tell me to edit out some lines of code somewhere I have no idea where that is. The article I cited mentioned “page.php” but I think the author was simply using that as a pseudonym to represent whatever page you need to edit, but he didn’t share details on where to find editable WordPress pages.

I guess I should have just asked you – if you needed to edit out a feature on any of your WordPress pages, where in the file structure would you navigate? What file(s) would you edit?

I’m sorry but sometimes it is hard to know what questions to ask or even where to ask them :-/

Hi!
Well, in the theme (using the Twenty Thirteen one) I specified that the main page be static and specified the “HOME” page I created to be used as the front page. That is why it is displaying “HOME” at the top.

I want to have a static home page and have specified “Raincatcher Blog” to be the page where posts are placed.

I’m not exactly looking for someone to drop the answer in my lap – I would really like to know how this all fits together as well.

Are you using the new version of Autofocus Autofocus+ ? The new theme is much better than the original and has quite a few customization options (found under the Appearance section of your WordPress dashboard). If the free version doesn’t have what you’re looking for, you can opt in for the $15 pro version which has even more options.

Sorry I don’t have a direct answer to your question :-/
