Thank you this worked beautifully. Just what I needed. I appreciate the help ??

Hi I just took a look at the sidebar.php however the code that you just gave me at the end there does not exist in the sidebar.php so I am not sure what code I need to delete from the sidebar.php

Edit: sorry I found it but thank you. I deleted the last few lines at the end of the code that said meta and archives and it removed what I needed. Thank you for the help ??

Hi I was finally able to create a child theme like you said to do but I am totally lost and confused right now. Where am I supposed to insert the code that you gave me from before? When I click on editor there is no header.php section for me to click on and insert the code.

Thank you for the response I appreciate the help. Here in lies a problem for me. I unfortunately do not have access to any administrative options at this time. It was actually my dad who set up wordpress for my site so I could make my own site so he is the one who has access to the admin tools and things needed in order to make a child theme. I was simply using his hosting server because he has unlimited hosting on his account. I will have a talk with him in the morning and see if he can help me with this.

Thank you so much this has officially fixed my issue and the banner is uploaded just the size I need it to be. I can now continue working on the rest of my site. I appreciate all of your help ??

So how do I change the image to the correct size of 850 x 202? Is it as simple as changing the 474 to 850 x 202?

I went into settings> media and what I got was the following sizes-

Thumbnail Size- 150 x 150
Medium Size 300 x 300
Large Size 1024 x 1024

I changed the settings on medium from 300 x 300 to 1024 x 1024 and saved everything and somehow this still did not fix the issue I was having. The images are still showing up small. The 2nd banner is bigger then it was before but it now looks blurry and even in then it still is not the 850 x 202 size that it should be.

Thank you and now one last thing. On the main page (not the home page but the main page) it has that gray bar that you were talking about at the top. Is there a code I can add to my CSS plug in to remove that bar from the top? I downloaded the plug in and just to be safe inserted the code that you gave me so that if the theme does happen to update sometime I won’t run into that problem however the gray bar at the very top that you brought to my attention remains there even after putting the code you gave me.

Hi thanks again for the response. Since you are saying that I should not edit the themes filed directly does this mean that I should go back and add that code that I deleted from the file that you posted in your original response to me? I deleted this code from the CSS styles part of the code and was able to remove the gray bar from showing up in the middle of each page:

#st-banner0-curve {
max-height: 70px;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
bottom: -5px;
z-index: 2;
}

I wasn’t sure I just figured the theme would work fine without any problems if I removed that part of the code. So I should just insert that code back to where I deleted it from then? I will also try now to see how to get rid of this gray bar from the top of the main page. I did not notice this until your brought it to my attention thank you for the update.

Thank you for the kind response but I am rather confused here. How do I get rid of the gray bar then? Is it as simple as removing the code you posted up above and then hitting save? Sorry I am not very good when it comes to coding and stuff so I am unsure as to what to do here and am wondering if just removing the code would fix the problem thanks.

Hi is there a way to completely hide and remove the menu that is showing up? I don’t want a menu to show up at all when I have the theme I would rather hide it completely. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

ok I got it now. Thank you. Instead of selecting “your latest posts” I had to select the option right below it and select the page I wanted to use as my main page. Somehow this did the trick but I got it to work so I thank you for that refresher ??

When I went into my settings- readings it says here that “Your latest posts” is already the default option selected so it has already been selected. Not sure what the fix is but it says that setting was already selected.

If I activate another theme then yes of course I can delete the them I was trying to get rid of but then I get stuck with another theme I don’t want at all. I have my own HTML code that I made that has a theme within it but because there is a theme already active then my HTML code is not showing the background that I made myself.
