Hi!

To change the header image, you’ll need to use the Editor (under the Themes menu), to change the code in your Header (header.php) file. Look for this code:

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">

Just change it to look like this:

<a href="https://yourwebsite.com">

Now it will link to whatever website you put in there.

Now, onto the “horizontal bar”, which is called the Navigation Menu. Under the Appearance menu (in your admin area), go to Menus. From here you can create a custom menu, with whatever links you want. Make sure to enable it in the Theme Locations box.

Good luck!

I found this in the Support section for that plug-in:

Hi!

This is probably an issue with how your Permalinks are structured, which you can read about here. Try changing the Permalinks setting to “Default” and see if this fixes it.

Hi!

Are you comfortable with editing the code of your themes? Unless your theme has the option to disable the navigation menu, you’ll have to edit the code (which can be done with WP’s built-in editor, under the Themes menu).

In your theme’s index.php file, there’s a certain snip of code that pulls in the nav menu. It looks something like this:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'header-menu' ) ); ?>

Read more about it here.

All you need to do is “comment it out”, by turning this line into a comment. So your code would look like this:

<!-- <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'header-menu' ) ); ?> -->

Notice the extra bits I added before and after the line? These make it a comment, so WordPress will ignore it when building your website.

Good luck!

Hi!

How about using tags instead of categories? Categories work like folders on a PC, so a post can only be in one category. But a post can have an unlimited amount of tags attached to it.

Other than that, tags and categories work the same.

Hi!

WordPress is open-source software. It’s developed by a community of volunteers and given away freely, it is not a for-profit enterprise.

The support forum is comprised entirely of volunteers as well, who help when they have time. If you want expert help with WordPress, you’ll want to hire a WordPress consultant. A good place to find one is https://jobs.wordpress.net/

Hello,

I was surprised to see the amount of people wanting to do this. I don’t have a sure-fire answer, but let me suggest a possible solution:

1. Have a WordPress Multi-Site installation, with separate WP ” dummy sites” for each domain you want. For example, you might have example.com/uk, which has the site/theme you want to show up at yoursite.co.uk

Then use the Network Shared Posts plug-in to share the content across each site within the network.

2. Use domain masking to send people to your “dummy sites”. So when people type yoursite.co.uk, they will see example.com/uk, although their address bar won’t show that.

Would that work?

Hi!

I don’t know much about Minimatica, but have you considered using the Twenty Ten (old default) theme, and modifying it to look how you want? I have found that it is very easy to modify.

Also, is your blog hosted on Tumblr or some other external service?

Hi there!

If I’m understanding, the original logo you uploaded is 406 x 73, right? But it looks like it’s displaying at 222 x 40, which is fairly small.

In your theme, I found a file called “light.css”, which contains this code:

#site-header h1 img {
	height: 40px;
}

Try changing this value to something bigger, and see if it works.

I found the following snip of code inside your “style.css” file

.commentlist > li:before {
	content: url(images/comment-arrow.png);
	left: -21px;
	position: absolute;
}

I’m guessing that the “content” line links to the arrow image. Find that line of code in your style.css, and comment it out. In case you don’t know how to comment in CSS:

Might be worth mentioning – I can get it working again by reverting to the default “wp-content/uploads” folder, but I really want to do this “Odai.me/dia” thing.

Does anyone have advice, or should I just forget about it and be happy it works again?

EDIT: Just figured this out, or I would have put it in my first post.

Glad to hear it! Do you have any plug-ins activated? That could be the source of that new error.

Are you the owner/administrator of the site? If not (or if you are and there are other admins), ask them for help.

Someone may have guessed your password, gotten in, and changed your password/e-mail. Just one possible explanation though.

If you’re the administrator of the site, I don’t think there’s anything you can do, unfortunately.

Can you access your back end area, where you write posts and such? Or is the whole site down?

I’m fairly sure negative margins don’t work, but don’t hold me to that. All that extra white space must be from an existing margin-top somewhere, right? You could look in your header.php to see if you can find it, then comment it out or delete it.
