You rock man

are you guys talking about the featured image for posts?

well my site is tech.itiswhatitis.biz but after installing/activating this theme, it looks nothing like the example. I’m not sure how one would make their blog look like the example…also the “read more” buttons dont work. But you can atleast see what a site looks like that’s had this theme installed and activated

Senff, I understand the difference between the Visual tab and the Text tab. My issue is taht when I enter it in the Text tab, if I click the visual tab and then click right back on the text tab, my Code is changed! And its not just reorganized, in my example it actually deleted an entire line of code.

So in order to make WordPress stop doing that, I had to disable the Visual tab in my settings. Which means I’m not editing the site completely in code. I don’t want to enable the visual tab and have wordpress delete my code for the 10th time. I just created a second Test page that I try things out in to make sure the code is good then I drop it in the real page.

that’s really enoying. I’m not a coding expert, I don’t really want to edit the entire site in code, but I do need to tweek it sometimes.

I feel like this is a very basic thing that WP should have figured out by now. It’s my site if I want to break it I should be able to break it, I don’t need WP babysitting my code for me.

brand new site, haven’t added any plugins yet.

I went to Users > Your Profile and checked “Disable the visual editor when writing” Now it doesn’t change my HTML anymore.

Trust me, I tested it like a dozen times. Everytime I pasted in that first bit, clicked Visual, and clicked Text again, it changed it to the second bit.

I got it all working now. I haven’t sorted out the image I’m going to use on the bottom, but I got all three of my thumbnails mouseovers working and what-not, now that WordPress isn’t deleting my code anymore…

weird, NOW it lets me post to this thread again. earlier I tried and it kept saying “this thread has been closed”

It finally worked. I think it was just taking awhile to update. It was my understanding that once you add the code, you just debug it and it should be good. apparently you have to debug it, and wait like 10-15 minutes then try again.

nope

I like how nobody ever responds to any questions I ask, which is especially frustrating since wordpress doesn’t have a phone number I can call and ask for help.

I figured this out on my own. In case anybody else is reading this, Going to plugins and clicking “activate” wasn’t enough. I then had to click on Jetpack (right underneath Dashboard) and click connect to wordpress. Entered my WP username and PW, THEN clicked on Jetpack again, and activated the individual features I wanted, extra sidebar widgets being one of them.

nevermind, I figured it out. I had one post tagged as a sticky, so it was always showing up on top. oiy.

atleast I didn’t have to edit any code…
