Hi, aberdeenfarm –

Looks like there’s some funky css on line 176 that reads:

“Helvetica Neue”, Arial, Helvetica, “Nimbus Sans L”, sans-serif

That’s causing the nav menu and the site title to change. Also, what esmi said is right, you might want to create a child theme if you want to build a theme based on TwenyTen:

You shouldn’t need Javascript to do this. In WordPress, every body tag is assigned a class to the page id – something like page-id-38. What you can do instead is style the background image in CSS based on whatever background image happens to appear.

I would try to do the same edits in the home.php or the index.php where the code for the page is likely executed.

In the appearance > menu, you should be able to remove the home link in the menu. It sounds like it might just be falling back to the default menu, so try to create a new menu, and apply it to the primary nav.

The issue you’re having isn’t a WordPress issue. It looks like the image might have been on a white background and you’ve used a wand tool to select and remove it. I don’t know what editor you’re using so try to find a background to transparent/alpha feature. That should solve the problem.

What code have you written so far in your header.php?

In the WordPress dashboard under appearance, you should be able to find the ‘menu’s screen. There, you should see a place where you can edit the urls for all the links in your primary navigation menu. Find the entry for home and change the url to https://www.buckettrucksonline.com/

Add this to your functions.php

function new_excerpt_more($more) {
       global $post;
	return '<span class="readmore-icon">Read more'. get_the_title('', '', false). '</span>';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

And place this in the loop.

the_excerpt();

Tell me if that resolves the audio issue and what it does –

Hi pawarkunal, what theme are you using?

Hi gulivernashautec,

Are you using the excerpt or the content in your function? You could probably fix this by only getting the excerpt of the post without the shortcode for the audio player.

Here’s what it looks like you’re trying to do:

#content nav {
clear: both;
width: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

On line 1683 of your style.css, you should be able to replace #content nav with the above code. Tell me if it works out.

There shouldn’t be much that you need to do to the parent theme, just so long as the child theme is inheriting its functionality. Is there something in your child theme that isn’t working as expected?

Hi, Elaine –

Remove the following line from your header.php –

// Add the blog description for the home/front page.
$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
echo " | $site_description";

That should work – sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

As Chip said, mb_strtoupper() is a PHP function. It’s not being generated by WordPress so changing or updating WordPress won’t solve the problem, nor will modifying the theme. You should be able to check your PHP install by running <?php phpversion(); ?> or <?php phpinfo(); ?> – It really sounds like you’ve got a faulty php install so I would suggest asking this question in how to and troubleshooting.

Usually the sidebar is wrapped in a div element – you should be able to change the width by changing the CSS property of that div in its style.css.
