  • Forum: Fixing WordPress
    In reply to: Admin layout lost?

    Wow! I’m glad I did a search before posting my question, because I have the exact same problem. My admin page looks just like yours. And it no longer works properly. But as far as I know, I didn’t change anything or add any new plug-ins.

    I hope someone knows how to fix this problem.

    That worked. Thank you so much.

    I don’t see the line that you described. Here is my Header.php. What lines do I delete to make the blog title not show up on my main page? My header.php is as follows:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt;
    <html xmlns=”https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221; <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

    <head profile=”https://gmpg.org/xfn/11″&gt;
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />

    <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/style.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />

    <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> RSS Feed” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />

    <link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />

    <style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>

    body{
    background: #fff url(“<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/bodybg.gif”);
    }

    #superheader{
    background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/superheaderbg.gif”) top left repeat-x;
    }

    #header{
    background: #fff url(“<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/headerbg.jpg”) top center no-repeat;
    }

    #wrapper2{
    background: #fff url(“<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/wrapperbg.gif”) top right repeat-y;
    }

    .post h2{
    background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/dots.gif”) left bottom repeat-x;
    }

    .menu ul li.widget ul li{
    background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/listbullet.gif”) no-repeat 0 3px;
    }

    .menu ul li.widget ul li ul li{
    background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/listbullet.gif”) no-repeat 0 1px;
    }

    </style>

    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/scripts/utils.js”></script>

    <?php wp_head(); ?>

      • <?php
      wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1’); ?>

    </div>

    Okay. I got it to work. Thanks.

    That didn’t work.

    Adsense wants me to put the code in my sites homepage. What page is the “homepage” in my WordPress theme page? Is that Header.php?

    The specific instructions from Adsense are as follows:
    “Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site’s home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section”.

    In very simple language, where is it asking me to put it. I tried Header.php, and it didn’t work. Should it go in the CSS Stylesheet? How about the Index.php or Page.php?

    That is exactly what I was talking about. Thank you so much.

    I see that someone already replied, but I was going to say the same thing. Are you aware that if you have a WordPress blog, you already have an RSS feed? You shouldn’t have to add any additional code to add an RSS feed.

    … You’re joking, right? You know all about the web, but not how to use an FTP Client?

    I’m too stunned for words.

    I’m in the exact same position as the person you are shocked about. I am a marketing manager. I know how to market things. Like the original author, I understand the theory of web marketing and SEO, and use it regularly. However, I have never had to actually build a website myself. I just started my own blog a month ago, and that was the first time I ever had to actually use an FTP client.

    Think of it like this; most of your college professors had PhD’s and taught theory and some even wrote text books on their discipline. But you would have been shocked to learn how many of them only had academic knowledge and had never worked a single day in the real world. They know the theory, but they’ve never actually done it.

    We are just like that.

    is there a way to keep the images that I currently have in my blog, but make them smaller so they aren’t wider than the alloted blog width? Is there an “image control panel” that I can play with until I get the image to the size that works right with the established column width?

    Any suggestions for this question?

    Mark the text, then use the b-quote button.

    Testing.

    BTW, how do I quote someone’s comments in these dialogue sessions? I see that someone quoted me in their response. It has my original comment in a block. How did they do that?

    Well, that is my next project. I am still mastering typing text. I was afraid to try to tackle adding a new theme.

    I know that I need to add a graphic header to my site instead of the generic default theme that WordPress comes with, but I need a VERY SIMPLE way to do that. I need a 2 column theme with a Wide column on the left for my main content, and a narrow column on the right for my blogroll, “about us”, etc. The theme needs to be idiot-proof (since I am a computer idiot), and allow me to simply replace the original graphic with a picture of my own. I really like the default (Kubrick) them. I just need a graphic instead of that bland color block header that comes with it.

    Iridiax,
    I hadn’t thought of that. I was just trying to use good grammar. I was stating a book title, so I underlined it. I guess putting it in quotes or italics could work too. Thanks for the input.
