Hi Texas001,

Here are some intermediate WordPress examples you could code yourself.

You could edit an existing theme by adding your own custom post type called ‘portfolio’. And then write a query which loops trough all portfolio items. This is a great way to expand on the existing theme as your use the CMS to fill content and alter a template to show that same content.

You could also try and add another menu and retrieve it on the website in the header.php for example. This is a bit easier I think but still a good way to get to know WordPress.

Hope this helps!

Hi Nissy,

Great! Glad I could help. Could you set the status of this thread to resolved please?

Hi Nissy,

Thanks for sending the link.

It might be possible for you to change the line spacing trough the theme options. Some theme’s allow you to change the line spacing in the theme options. If not, you’ll have to change a bit of code. I hope you are familiar with basic HTML5 en CSS3?

Look for this line of code in your style.css file:

p{
line-height:1.5em;
}

Increase the 1.5em to any number and see for yourself what is the best amount of spacing.

It’s best to do this in a child theme. Aks me if you don’t know how to do this.

Kind regards.

Hi Nissy,

If I’m correct you want to add more spacing between lines in paragraphs, right? There are several ways to achieve this. Could you post the link to your website please? I can look for the best way to handle this if I can take a look at your website.

Kind regards

Hi there!

Yes, always use a child theme when editing a theme. Your adjustments will be overwritten every time the theme gets an update. This will be prevented when you use a child theme ??

I’ve made some adjustments to your CSS, I think it should work now.

/* change green bar*/
.topfirstbar{
background-color: #005D6F;
}

/* Change background*/
.main-container{
background-color:#CCCCCC;
}

/* Read more buttons */
#feature-box .read-more{
background-color:#005D6F !important;
}

#feature-box:hover .read-more{
background-color:#B29959 !important;
}

Hi there,

I have no experience with the constant contact form plugin. However, I can really recommend the Contact Form 7 plugin. After installing the plugin you can make a form. The plugin gives you a shortcode which you can copy and paste into any page you like. Once the shortcode is placed into a page, the form will be displayed there.

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

You can export and import databases with WordPress quite easily.

1. Log in to the WordPress site that is finished.
2. Go to the settings menu and look for import / export in the submenu
3. Go to export
4. Choose what content you want to transfer
5. Download the database

Once downloaded

6. Log in to the new site where you want to import the database
7. Go to the import settings
8. Choose WordPress
9. Upload the database you just downloaded from the other site

That’s it.

Good luck!

Hi there,

You can make the logo larger by editing the theme’s CSS.

find this code in your stylesheet

.site-logo{
max-height: 100px;
}

Increase the 100px to make the logo larger.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mark,

I mean that your theme’s CSS already has a margin for paragraphs. If you want more margin above and below, you’ll need to add 18px and 27px margins.

If your code is like this now:

p{
margin: 20px,50px,20px,50px;
}

You need to add the desired margins, like this:

p{
margin:38px,50px,47px,50px;
}

Note that the marings are clockwise (38 = above, 50 = right, 47 is bottom, 50 is left)

Hi there,

If the theme doesn’t support changing colors you can always edit the CSS.

CSS to edit the top bar:

.topbararea{
background-color: (different color here)
}

CSS to edit mouse overs of the menu:

current_page_item:hover{
background-color: (different color here)
}

Hope this helps!

Hi Mark,

You can do this by editing your theme’s CSS.

p{
margin: 18px, 0, 27px , 0;
}

(note that you need to add the current margins)

Hope this helps!

Hello!

You can use this plugin to achieve your goal:

It let’s you control which sidebars you want to display on which pages.

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

There is a way to edit certain items that share the same class. With CSS you can target the last two items.

Example:

.service{
CSS you use for every service item
}

.service:nth-of-type(7) {
Specific alignment CSS for the seventh item
}

.service:nth-of-type(8) {
Specific alignment for the last service item
}

See example below:

Hope this helps!

I have the exact same problem. When I remove the url’s from the fields and save the changes the deleted redirect is still active.

It is possible the plugin saves the redirect in the .htacces file. A good starter is to look there if you wish to remove the redirect. I’ll keep you up to date when I find any new ways to resolve this and would like to hear from you if you found anything helpful.

Greetings,

Jeroen

Found the solution, I displayed the Nextgen Slideshow instead of the widget.
