In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Styling the word Contact which sits above formOften you can go to your folder wp-content/plugins/name of plugin
There will be a generic named css file – you can make a backup copy at this point if you like as well.Find the tag that will probably look something like…
#content h3 { font-size: 20px; }
If there isn’t and you can’t find anything like it try making that one and set the font-size to what you’d like and then give it an important command. ie.
font-size: 14px !important;
Not sure if that will solve your problem, but it’s a starting point hopefully.

In reply to: AUTO Upgrade ErrorI’ve had problems with this issue when clients had shared hosting – so far only with Go Daddy. It would prevent them from updating and even installing larger sized plugins.
My client said the host gave a similar response – we’ve never heard of that before.

In reply to: Text sidebar widget not updatingThe footer moving might indicate a tag was not closed properly, but it could also do with what you’re putting in the sidebar expanding or changing the sidebar’s size (want to give it an fixed width in that scenario, i.e. width: 300px;)
The image problem is probably due to where the image is located. If it’s in the Media section of your Admin area then you can copy and place that link and place it in the quotations –
<img src="rightHere" />
However, if you calling the image from your theme’s image folder you need to call it different.<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/filename.jpg" />
I hope something I just said was able to help – if not please help me better understand.

In reply to: Don't know the best way to explain thisI haven’t edited that theme before, but to get rid of it you will need get rid of the images Title. If the image is in the Media section of your Admin area then you can simply delete it there.
If it is not, you will need to locate the image in the theme’s PHP files – possibly index.php, home.php, or header.php. You can search quick by hitting CTRL + F for find and type in “Click For” – if it’s on the page then it should bring you right to it.
The whole string will read
<img src="https://oi51.tinypic.com/2hybly.jpg" title="Click for a larger view" id="imgElement" alt=""/>
– delete the title, but you can replace the text in the alt=””Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How 2'sAh yes, sorry, I did miss that second question.
To link to different places on the same page wrap the text or image with a link like this
<a href="#example">Example</a>
Then the place on the page you want that link to jump to wrap like this.
<a name="example">Other Area of Page</a>
Let me know if that solves the issue.

In reply to: Don't understand Blogs & PostsIn your Admin section go to Settings then Reading.
If your main page is not your blog page then “Front Page Displays” will be selected and “Front Page” will show your current front page. You can select your blog page with the next bullet

In reply to: How do I maintain order in my html?This might be Dreamweaver, but not WordPress. I edit my WordPress php files regularly – primarily just the theme files though. I comment throughout all my work too.
I suppose a test for this would be to edit a php file in a text editor, then close it and open it back up in the same text editor. Then open the file up in Dreamweaver.
You can download Notepad ++ to do this – https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

In reply to: WordPress Hiring questionTypically it is contracting work or simply the purchase of a Template / Theme. For custom designs I’ve seen it range on average between $250 to $700, but that is really depending on the complexity of the design.

In reply to: Staying logged inah, that makes sense, sounds like you resolved it then ??

In reply to: Staying logged inI’m not sure I’d jump the gun on it yet, but often if people say “Go Daddy” then I just say “Yup, that’s the problem.” Hostgator might not be the problem … have you experienced slow downs or has anyone mentioned it?

In reply to: How 2'sYou’ll have photoshop those fonts most likely – I get most of mine from fontsquirrel.com as they have free commercial use. If not using Photoshop you can use @font-face in CSS, which fontsquireel will provide all the coding for, though they likely won’t provide the fancy white borders around the lettering.

In reply to: Changing Page Backgrounds CSSOk, I’m running off you saying you’re “New”
You mentioned #Body – are you looking for something with the ID=”Body” ? If so it’s likely not. If you identified the CSS file you could try…
body {opacity: 0 !important;}
the “!important” tag there will trump other commands, assuming there isn’t another of its kind. Also note that the opacity command does not work in older browser versions (especially IE).
Though, what I would do is just be determined to find the css command that impacts body – often in the beginning of the CSS file.
If you are working with a theme it’s definitely worth your time reading the read-me files and also when you’re in the CSS file look for Commented area as they often guide users.
i.e./* THIS IS A COMMENTED AREA */
