In reply to: Changing Sidebar Titles to ImagesUnfortunately the time frame is dependent on the work that has already been done. I hate to give you an estimate without being sure of what I am estimating. Ideally I would say this could be done using CSS, but I can’t say absolutely.
I am also not sure of the policies of this public forum in terms of acquiring opportunities on my part, and providing them on yours. If you are so inclined you may contact me at, info AT jimisaacs DOT com

In reply to: how do I remove widgets from my blog page only?Using widget logic requires a little finagling to get what you want. It uses WordPress conditional statements.
To remove widgets from a particular page, you must use the corresponding conditional. In this case the blog page is usually accompanied by the conditional statement of “is_home()”. Therefore, to remove widgets from this page you must use a reverse conditional “!is_home()”. The “!”, in a sense, means that you actually mean the inverse of the statement, which all in all menas, “I want this widget to show up anywhere, except the where “is_home()” is “true” (the blog page).
I know this can be somewhat complicated, let me know if I should try to be any clearer. I actually have my own widget plugin that may help, but without seeming like a shameless plug, I won’t post a link unless you ask me ??

In reply to: Deleting the Home PageUnfortunately since I am not sure what theme you are actually using, finding the appropriate template file requires a little digging on your part.
If you have access to your files, this is where great search tools can come to the rescue. Such applications that can search multiple files at once for a particular pattern of text, in this case “wp_list_pages”. Sorry I am not familiar with Windows in this regard. I think one application may be Notepad++ , but I can recommend many ways on a Mac OSX (the first being simply Spotlight).
If you are using the WordPress theme editor, I would suggest either looking for the template file one by one, or contacting the theme’s author directly.

In reply to: Changing Sidebar Titles to ImagesUnfortunately WordPress removes all HTML from widget titles, and there is a default title for the widgets when set to nothing.
Therefore it takes either one of CSS or PHP experience to make what you are trying to do a reality.

In reply to: Help! Mistakingly Changed My Blog URLWow I took too long, can delete that last one please.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Help! Mistakingly Changed My Blog URL3 solutions to this without reinstalling your blog completely:
- Temporarily move/copy all of your wordpress files to your document root.
- If you have access to an .htaccess file, AllowOverwrite it is enabled, and mod_rewrite is enabled, add a temporary rewrite rule before any other you may have to point your base url “/” to your old url “/blog”.
- Edit your database in the “(your_prefix)_options” table (most of the time this is the “wp_options” table, the default). The 2 options to check go by the option_names of: siteurl and home
Please, always make a backup before editing your files and/or database like any of this ??

In reply to: Header and Background ProblemThis is just a guess without looking at actual markup, but I think you just have a CSS style on the wrong element, or one too many.
If you are not too familiar with using browser inspectors, I highly suggest at least one, you can debug something like this almost instantly.

In reply to: Conditional statement for flash and image rotateYour answers — https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Conditional_Tags
Functions to note: is_home(), is_front_page(), is_page()
A small tip for conditionals is to always remember combinations and inverse usage.

In reply to: How to leave only image and title on categoriesThis is not meant to be insulting in anyway, but the link @esmi sent you answers your last question.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Changing Sidebar Titles to ImagesFirst of all, I see what you are trying to do. You are trying to make a title for your widget using another widget. This is possible, but not the best of routes.
What is your CSS experience?

In reply to: Help! DNS Error on my site! Urgent!I had a similar problem a while back (very complicated), but before I can tell you if this is the same thing, need a little more info:
- Are you positively sure this is the ONLY thing you did, activated then reactivated, and I mean positive? We can’t help you if you leave anything out no matter how small.
- Where do you host, do they have any maintenance tickets or alerts up for you?
- What are the themes you activated and reactivated, do they claim they do anything special to your data?
- What plugins do you have installed, are they dependent on your activated theme?
