Well, if you follow the guide I gave you it should work.
I’ve done it myself.

And yes, feel free to get in touch if you have any type of wordpress “hiccups”.

I’m constantly learning something new and trying to help others as I go with what I have managed to learn so far.

And if I don’t know something I’ll always have someone else to recommend or somewhere to point you ??

And actually I’m even working on a site where I’ll be posting anything new I learn about WP and talk about most frequently asked questions.

I’ll keep you updated on that.
Good Luck Alison ??

Hey Alison,
Thanks for emailing me.

I sure can help.
The line of code you need to change is #1467 and is placed in your style.css file.

This is the code

.footer h1, .footer h2, .footer h3, .footer h4, .footer h5, .footer h6 {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-size: 26px;
    padding-bottom: 12px;
}

You need to change #FFFFFF
To any other color code you wish, like #040404

And I also advise you to make all these css code canghes in your child theme.

Yes, a good advice from Andrew here.

Whenever you you can try to make your changes in a Child Theme’s style.css file.

Cheers Andrew! ??

Hi Mate ??

Go to your style.css file’s line #170
Find a rule “.main-container”

and add these two properties to it:
“border-left: 1px solid;
border-right: 1px solid;”

Have you managed to solve this mate?

Glad to hear that Alison ??
It was my pleasure.

One last advice:
In the future when you write new posts, you don’t have to stick to a url that will be given by WordPress.

You can easily change it yourself.
Here’s a screenshot of where exactly you can change it.

So instead of having “welcome” you can change it to “welcome-to-voila”.

All The Best

That’s the problem.
Go back and select “Post name” option.

And try again please ??

And what did you have written in that field?

Which permalinks settings option did you have selected?

Yup, I can see it works now ??

Only one advise tough:
You don’t have to stick to that ugly url “?p=352”, to make sure your site works again.

It’s better if you set your permalinks to have a “pretty” url instead.
Something like “5-best-wedding-venues”

Not only will it look good for your website visitors, but it’s also really crucial for SEO.

So if set up properly you can have both: pretty urls + working site.

Thought I couldn’t let you go without making sure you are aware of it.

Yup Alison,
Permalinks settings look easy, but sometimes a small change can cause a site to break down.

Is there a way I could see your permalinks settings, or get to actually see your wp backend?

Hi Alison ??

By the look of it, this could be a permalink issue.
Could you please tell me did everything work fine at the beginning?

And when did you start to get this error?
Did you install or change anything?

Cheers
