I *believe* this is a server configuration difference = ‘file system method’.

If you enter this in the wp-config.php it will work:

if(is_admin()) {
	add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "direct";' ));
	define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0751 );
}

You’re welcome. ??

I like what you’re envisioning – I could sure use that too! Did you find something in the extend/plugins page of this site?

That theme is based on images, so to change the width of the background image, you’ll need to open the image that is shipped with the theme, and change it to be wider/bigger.

You need to use FTP to upload the image and overwrite the theme’s default one.

Yes, it is possible, if your theme is using the new post_thumbnail function in WP. You will need to edit the archives template and possibly category template if there is one.

You want to remove the <?php the_content();?> from the templates, and replace with

<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
	the_post_thumbnail();
} else {
	// you could put a default image here if you like
}
?>

lol – so there’s no way to accomplish a CHANGE in the permalink then. ?? We’ll figure out another way.

At thte bottom of your CSS file (found in Appearance>> Edit, at the bottom of the page, click on style.css to edit it)

Write this at the bottom:

#header {
margin: 80px 0 0;
}

That should do it.

Have you tried a plugin? Other than that, I would think you do need to use the ftp, but if you keep that open on your desktop, it is usually faster than using the media uploader anyway.

I couldn’t load your site in my browser – the load time is really slow. I would think that the CSS for single pages are correctly styled, and the css for the homepage’s special top div is styled correctly, but the bottom of the front page, and I would also guess the archive pages are not – it is simply missing some styles. Add those to the correct division in your stylesheet and you’ll be golden.

If I could see your site, I could give you the code that you need to add.

Your downloaded wordpress is a copy from www.ads-software.com, I assume. This needs a host to be able to view online. By “having a wordpress account” do you mean an account on WordPress.com? To see how to get your changes to appear in the wordpress.com html, see the WordPress.com forums

I use Cross References: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/cross-references-plugin/

Seems to work for me.

Hi Heather,
Under #content ul a there is a text-indent of -9999px; that is the problem. Delete that line, or set it to a reasonable indent, perhaps 5or 6 pixels?

You can paginate a page, by inserting a <! read more > tag into it. You can find the read more tag in the icons above the edit screen. It wouldn’t really ‘paginate’ a page. But it would break it up for your readers.
