If your site is a wordpress.com site (ie https://www.mysite.wordpress.com), then that’s nothing to do with this section of WordPress.

If you installed WordPress on a server yourself (or your hosting did it) then contact your web server, because they might know something.

Hope this helps

The best way to start is to reactivate a theme that you know works properly.

Now, file permissions determines who can access the different files. If your permissions are too secure, the you can’t make any changes (even though it’s your site) and if they’re too unsecure then people (hackers, etc) can use this to their advantage.

You can change permissions by:
1) Going into your ftp program (I recommend FileZIlla)
2) Right Click on the offending folder (in your case it’s layout.css
3) Click File Permissions or CHMOD or whatever it is for your program (google it if you’re not sure).
4) Select the permissions that you want. It suggests 666 – so try that. 744 is pretty good.

Hey,
I really like your plugin ?? Is it possible to exclude them from certain pages though? For example – I’d like the widget to be shown on posts and most pages, but exclude it from pages like the blog archive page and the contact page.

Thanks!

I tried your website, but it’s not available…
I’ve only had a very quick play with this theme, however this should work

change

#site-title h1

to

#site-title h1 a

and add

display:block

to the end of the css.

Hi All – I have put this back to Unresolved, in the hope that someone might be able to fix this for you all.
In frustration, I have sacked off the AddToAny plugin, in favour of the aptly named Twitter-Facebook-Google-plus-one-share plugin. It’s not quite as versatile, but it works – which is a bonus.

I did leave my email address in case you needed more help -but then I got told off by forum mods! Best wait until your friend gets back I think ??

Hi,
Without being able to log in and see the set up, the most likely option is that the advert is hard coded in. Log in, click Appearance > Editor then in the right hand column click Single Post (single.php). Here you can look for the code to remove the advert. Be careful though – as removing the wrong code could trash your site.

Hope this helps – let me know if you need any more direction!

You’ll be looking for #main(in the css file).

Change: padding: 1.625em 0 0;
To: padding: 0;

I recommend you downloading Google Chrome, or Firebug if you’re using Firefox. Then you can right click on an element of your site and see all the styles that are attributed to it, and conflicting css and you can even edit your page locally to see what it would look like if you did change the css.
This is exactly what I did for you. You can also completely mess about with the css, and it doesn’t matter! Bonus ??

Actually – overnight it seems to have fixed itself overnight – so I’m guessing it was a problem with fb code instead. Johnzeiger – does yours work now too?

Hi there Geoff,
hows the planning going for the CardiffWUP? Is it still going ahead?
I’m in Cardigan Bay, and probably Cardiff is going to be the closest I’ll ever hope to see a WordPress group being formed!

The problem here is that the black box is the main part of the content page with the image and everything else on top of it. It’s not just a small black banner – so making it smaller won’t do anything, you’ll need to move everything else up.

Solution:
Log in to WordPress and go to Appearance > Editor.
In styles.css (or whatever your css file is named), search for: #site-description
Yours looks like this:

#site-description {
color: #7A7A7A;
font-size: 14px;
margin: 0 270px 3.65625em 0;
}

Change Margin to 0px (or whatever you want it to be).

Just incase you don’t know, the margin tag is constructed like this:
margin: 10px 0px 8px 0px; (or something similar) – meaning:
margin: toppadding, rightpadding, bottompadding, leftpadding;

For the rest of your page, just look for the correspond coding. Let me know if you need more help!

If you’re using posts, then the code should be in single.php.
The code will be just underneath the <h1> tags, and will look something like this: <?php the_time(‘l, F jS, Y’) ?>

Best think to do it to change it in the css file.
Here’s how:
1) Log in, then go to Appearance > Editor
2) The style.css file should be the one you’re looking at, if not click it in list on the right hand side. This (put simply) is the file that controls the look of your site, ie general colours, font sizing and styles etc. Warning: You can mess up your site if you screw this up – a backup first is recommended!
3) In the editing page, search for body. It’ll look something like this:

body{
font-family:"Times New Roman",Georgia,Serif;
}

4) Change the font line to the font you like.

Things to note:
– The reason there are a few fonts written on this line is incase the first choice font isn’t available.

font-family: first choice, second choice, third choice;

– If your chosen font is more than one word, put ” ” around it,
ie: “Times New Roman”

The final serif/sans-serif at the end is in case none of your chosen fonts are on the users computer, and so the browser knows whether to choose a serif or sans-serif type font.

Hope this helps! Here’s some more reading on it, which may explain it better than I just did! CSS font-family Property

I isolated the facebook button, so it was on it’s own and it still didn’t work. Are you using an older version of the plugin for your other blog?

nice one – was looking for this ?? thanks for the solution!
