Hello,

Thanks so much for your reply! I’m on my testsite right now (where I do edit everything). https://film-classics.com/test

As you can see, I’ve edited the main navigation’s layout, hover etc. The thing is, on my main site I’m going to be adding numerous additional pages, which will clutter the main navigation. So, I want to add some of the pages to the sidebar. Which I’ve done, as you can see under “Pages” on my test site, but they are simply text links. I want them to look and feel like the main navigation, without spoiling the appearance of the, say “Recent Comments” which I need to leave alone (stay text/links).

I’m not sure what file to edit, or where to edit. Sidebar.php? Stylesheet?

Many many thanks!
David.

What about transferring existing wordpress users to phpbb?

Hello Jack,

I see what you’re saying – I just activated the HoPE theme, and it looks much more beautiful. Unfortunately, I have to use the twenty ten theme, and can’t really change that on my live site as so much depends on it.

Would editing the css in the library’s own stylesheet, using twenty ten, be quite a bit of work to make it look good? I wouldn’t be sure where to begin the editing as my css knowledge is limited, and I certainly wouldn’t want to place a burden on you. I know you’re pretty busy lately. I don’t know, what would you recommend?

Thanks,
David.

Hello Jack,

Thanks much for your reply. Since the library is not yet live on my site, I quickly threw together a test one at one of my test sites. You can take a look at the layout here: https://film-classics.com/test/library-test

As you can see, the search button is rather large, the categories, link box, and submission box all have a border around them, and overall doesn’t look like yours at all. I didn’t know that yours was the default, so I really can’t imagine what’s going on here. Please let me know if you need any other data. ??

Thanks!
David.

Hello Yannick,

I followed your screenshot here, and it did the trick! Many many thanks for this wonderful plugin.

David.

Thanks so much Xam for pointing that out to me – didn’t occur to me to click the post. However, what I’m really trying to do is add this image everywhere, including the home page. I also see that it stops too soon, leaving a small gap of white at each end.

Is there any way to keep it “locked” in place? I really don’t want it to move about as the content lengthens. I need it to be placed just below the menubar, without moving. Any ideas? Thanks much for you help so far!

David.

Thanks for your reply Xam,

My CSS code now reads:

#wrapper {
background-image: url('images/background_gradient.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background: #ffffff;
 margin-top: 20px;
 padding: 0 20px;
}

and at #container it reads:

#container {
background: url('images/background_gradient.jpg');
        background-repeat: repeat-x;
	float: left;
	margin: 0 -240px 0 0;
	width: 100%;

But still no joy. I emptied my browser’s cache in case that was causing any trouble.

Any ideas?

Has this been the case since you installed the theme, or something that has occurred recently?

Hello,

Thanks for the replies folks. I first uploaded the background_gradient.jpg to the images folder in twenty ten. Afterwhich I changed the css to

#wrapper {
background-image: url(‘images/background_gradient.jpg’);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background: #ffffff;
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 0 20px;
}

This didn’t work, so I changed the url to:

background-image: url(‘wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/background_gradient.jpg’);

Still no joy, any ideas?

In order to get the embed to work, you must use the html editor, not the visual editor, otherwise yes, the html will be messed up.

Any ideas?

You need to unzip the downloaded theme, and upload the entire folder (via ftp) to wp-content/themes. Once you do that, log into your admin panel and go “Appearance>Themes and click “activate” on the theme you want. ??

If I understand you correctly, its likely to be a plugin causing this issue. Try disabling your plugins one by one and see which one is the culprit. You might start with the most recent plugin you’ve activated.

There are usually multiple ways of doing things, and this is the way I use, so I can’t speak for any other. It doesn’t look to me like you want to learn how to use this plugin, though.

At least you could be thankful to the author for making the plugin in the first place, which many of us benefit from. If you have any other questions regarding this plugin, please ask politely.

David.
