The header is rendered via the header.php.

Php is the code that tells the header how to be displayed. It contains the title, tag line, search box etc.

If your using firefox, install a plugin called firebug. There is a little tool with an arrow and a blue line on it, if you click it, you can then inspect the elements on your site. It helps you know what .php files are doing what.

If I was you, I would just find a theme that allows you to install a custom header, it’s much easier.

There are so many good themes out there.

If you want to make a custom header, you have to make sure it’s the correct dimensions for the space. It gets a bit confusing.

You can specify the number of posts to display on the homepage in wordpress settings.

It’s under settings, general or reading.

It has a number for posts to display in a feed, and also a number for posts to display on the homepage.

The latest post will always display top by default. But you will need to change the number of posts that display on the homepage.

If you want to display an intro to the post and then have a read more… tag, then that is done in the the post editor. There is a box with a little line on it —-.

Or you could just create it as a page and then your client could keep changing that. It depends on whether they want the older versions to be searchable or not.

Hope this helps

Speak to this guy, he’s got the same theme.

https://www.snowboardgo.com/

His name is Rami, you can find him on twitter @snowboardgo

Tell him that @simplysnowboard put you in contact.

Oh yeah, I can’t seem to access via ftp either.

The connection just times out.

It depends upon the theme. Some themes will have it as part of the comment posting features.

You may be able to find a plugin that will add that functionality though.

It’s not a standard feature.

Which theme are you using?

it’s not ideal, but a way around this is to use the “more” function in your posts.

in terms of changing the background. yeah, it has about 200 options. You can change pretty much everything like that without having to edit the php. makes it easier for someone who doesn’t want to do that.
