Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: The requested URL /getlinks.php was not found on this serverHi James
I tried the plugins at first with no result and then tried a new theme and it was resolved. So it is obviously theme based so I will re-install the parent theme and see how I go.
Thanks for the help

In reply to: Adding text shadow in Tempera themeMy apologies Andrew!!
It did work – the #site-title span a code.
I was modifying the theme and then checking on another incorrect instance of the theme, if that makes sense.I thank you very much for all your help, your response was super fast and the answer spot on!
Cheers

In reply to: Adding text shadow in Tempera themeThe #site-title span a suggestion did not work, no shadow appeared on the site title text.
The body suggestion did work – I got a very bright border on the page!
I added both sets of code in the custom css section of the themes settings.
I also tried them in the style.css for the child theme.Forum: Themes and Templates

The text I want to shadow is the site title – “Theme Preview”

In reply to: Adding text shadow in Tempera themeI’m not really sure on how to do this. I have never had to do it before.

Unfortunately you can’t see the site as it is a local test installation.
I would have included the URL if it was published.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Mantra] Increase columns on page presentationWell I’ve created the functions.php as above and placed it in the root directory of my mantra-child theme. I’ve also modified a copy of the theme-FrontPage.php file and put it into a sub-folder of my mantra-child theme folder.
I then modified a copy of the settings.php file and also placed it into the root directory of my mantra-child theme.
The theme-FrontPage.php is being called okay as the 5th column appears on my front page but not the settings.php file; so I don’t get the 5th Column option under mantra settings > presentation page.
How do I get the settings.php file applied?
By the way hpwtexas, thanks for the great work!!Forum: Localhost Installs

In reply to: Changing Home page URL in WP test installationI did the string search in the database with phpMyAdmin and found multiple occurrences of serialized array stores.
I searched the WEB for a way to change the serialized arrays following your advice and found this tool:I installed and used it as directed and all is now working fine! My tabs now point to the localhost not my WWW site.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

No, they aren’t set in that area. I have more information in my reply to core-basic.

In reply to: Changing Home page URL in WP test installationHi core-basic, thanks for responding.
I am trying to host my site entirely local. As I said, I have on my local install gone into phpMyAdmin > wp_options and changed the site URL to point to my local install URL; in my local install wp_admin > Settings > General Settings I have both the WordPress Address (URL) and the Site Address (URL) pointing to my local installation URL.
I have not been able to find any other instances in my local install of a setting pointing to my WEB site URL.Cheers

In reply to: [Mantra] Add more than 5 slides (eg 8 slides)Back again and resolved. I didn’t set the featured image in the post! So much for reading the Mantra FAQ’s
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Mantra] Add more than 5 slides (eg 8 slides)Thanks for the tip on the php code. I have followed the Mantra FAQ’s, created a category and added some posts with images. However I do not see the image in the slider; I see the title of the post as the slider cycles them through but never the image.
I have tried the different Formats for the post but clearly I am missing something. Do you have any suggestions I might try?Cheers
Thanks CryoutCreations!! You answered my question.Cheers

In reply to: How to add tagline to themeHi Scott
Thanks for the reply. I am able to display the tag line but it appears in the top left hand corner of the page. Initially I included the code in a functions.php to get the tag line displaying as above and then went to a header.php as below:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <body oncontextmenu="return false;"> </body> <!-- start header --> <div id="header"> <div class="box"> <!-- logo --> <div id="logo"> <div><span><a>" title="<?php bloginfo('title'); ?>"><?php if ( get_option( 'photography_logo' ) <> "" ) { ?><img src="<?php echo get_option( 'photography_logo' ); ?>" alt="logo" /><?php } else { ?><?php bloginfo('title'); ?><?php } ?></a></span></div> <div class="description"> <?php bloginfo('description'); ?> </div> <!-- logo --> <!-- end header --> <!-- start navigation --> <div id="navigation"> <?php wp_nav_menu (array ( 'theme_location' => 'main-nav-menu') ); ?> <?php dropdown_menu (array ( 'theme_location' => 'main-nav-menu') ); ?> </div> </div> </div>All this achieves is to have the all the slide photos display at once on the screen, the menu and the Title and Tag line are displayed from the top left of the page with the menu cascading down, expanded.
I have tried various other combinations of code but this is the closest I have come so far.My site is headless.id.au
