Sorry if I messed up here I put that code above in HTML tags because I don't know what a backtick is (do they mean a backslash (\)?

Thanks for trying to help tahoerock.

I have tried this code already both in the parent and child style.css alternately just in case, It does not work, the nav bar is still present.

I have already read the post you refer to above as well,

Remember I want the navbar ON the HOME page only and disabled for ALL category pages and posts.

From what I understand the call to the navbar in the header.php is this…


<nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
<button class="menu-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu', 'twentytwelve' ); ?></button>
"><?php _e( 'Skip to content', 'twentytwelve' ); ?>

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) ); ?></nav>
<!-- #site-navigation -->

I cannot link to my site it’s 503’d at present but the Theme is just the standard Default 2012

… forgot to check notification box

Bumped this thread – similar question to OP.

Using a custom CSS plug as above works fine, but

I have tried inserting code all over the CSS and it just will not change the colour of the primary sidebar widget.

Please can someone specify exactly where the code above goes, for those of us who don’t know, and are never likely to find out ??

BTW, IDK if it makes any difference, but I’m currently working with the semicolon theme on a local machine.
Thanks.

Hi,
I didn’t expect a reply to this thread but anyway ??

The media library just would not function properly, I could upload them but they would not show either in the library or as thumbs on the file list page. Nor would they show if I tried to embed an image on a page.

I’m not a techy but my verdict is there are no problem with this update per se at least not on the WP end most probs are likely themes or external files.

Hope yours is okay ??

I am getting good at answering my own questions, it’s just that I wasted so much time figuring it out.
Just add some extra columns and don’t use borders – works for me.

Well it looks like I got everyone stumped with this one, unless everyone gave it wide berth. ??

But fear not I have returned to post the answer, for anyone who may get the same problem, and this is a cautionary tale.

I was about to delete the whole site and start again, but server maintenance prevented this – good job it did.

As I said earlier, all the plugins were first disabled then deleted via cpanel, it was a plug in that caused the 404 problem, and prevented any other post/category navigation from working, and it caused the problem because it was disabled/deleted.

The plug-in is ‘WP No Category Base‘ – I remembered I had this installed so I put it back, turned it on and bingo! everything now works just the way it should. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ?? ??

Looks like my code was trashed by the mods,
anyway it was just a simple <table>

edit –

Looks like I pasted that wrong </tbody> is inside table tags

Hi again,
I thought I would return and post a conclusion to this in case it will help anyone else.
First this was the TWEAKER theme not manifest as I said on the first post.
nothing like getting the your information right before you make a post ??

Here’s what I did
1. REmoved the code line <?php get_sidebar(); ?> from page.php template

2. Removed all code from sidebar php

3 in stylesheet.css at the beginning of the file under the structure heading , I entered container width 980px
and content width 980 px

It seems to work perfectly and aligns the text the full width of the header. just what I wanted.

I will mention if you do not change container width a scroll bar will appear at the bottom of the screen.
I found this out by accident, it’s a good job I know WTF I am doing ??

thats all folks.

Thanks for the heads-up Alchymyth

I will have a bit of a fiddle and post again if I get stuck.

Thanks man, you’re right of course, I have been so busy learning other stuff, I have never gotten in to Wp, i have learned some of the admin stuff, but the mechanics of it are a bit over my head.

I really would never be able to code myself, I feel this needs to be taught, sure I can paste a few snippets, but that’s all, I would never be able to write stuff other than a bit of simple html.

I am just too old now with too little time to learn this as well.

Thanks for the encouragement anyway ??

@ipstenu

I would like to thank you personally very much for all your help today, and giving up your time with umpteen replies to me to help resolve this issue.

This stuff is impossible to figure out unless you properly understand what you are doing, even reading up on it doesn’t help that much if you do not understand how the system works.

Without you guys 99% of website owners would be stuffed.

Thanks again dude.
Take care.
Best regards
Graham.

One final thought: Code is poetry, but it is a lot easier to press a button. ?? ??

Heads-up guys,

My inability to accept defeat has paid off, after checking through I noticed my home page had been reset to draft.

I have just tried my site on IE and never have I had a page load so fast with a couple of big images on it, bang! less than half a second.

I know I am a stupid **** but I never thought of that.

If you are still there Ipstenu perhaps you would just try that for me too make sure it’s ok on a different server.

Looks like I gotta trash this site, it still is not not working with no plugins on a reinstall.

Is it worth deleting the whole site from my server and starting again from scratch or am I going to get the same problem.

I have never had a issue with wp updates before, this one seems to have a big problem.
