try using the plugin i recommended. it appears at the bottom of your page that you are editing with an option for a custom url. Check out your url for category you want to link to, copy and paste that category url in the custom url box. That should work for you. I just tried it on a demo site and got the category going.

And yes, child themes are awesome. I can remember when they were not used and it was a nightmare any time you updated anything.

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi,

Not sure if I can provide immediate assistance on question one as that appears more of a theme customization with moving php elements around.

Question 2 though, you can fix pretty quick. “Marla” is actually an image that is 450×177 pixels. So instead of your tagline, just make an image that is that tall and wide with your tagline.

Or you can edit your span class here on style.css line 977
from:
#header .chico {
display: block;
font-size: 0.5em;
}
to
#header .chico {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 2em;
}
and that should be pretty close to it.

I would use a child theme if you are going to edit the css because it will be all lost if you update.

Here’s info on that:

hope that helps some,

Have you tried creating categories (breakfast category, smoothies category, etc.) and using the categories as pages?

If not, there are great plugins out there that do url redirects. I have used this one before:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/page-links-to/

As for the size. You can adjust the following line
style.css line 588
#wrapper {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F8F8F8;
box-shadow: 0 0 18px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 1140px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
If you do this, definitely install a child theme.

I hope that helps. I’m not 100% sure how everything is setup in your site, but that’s what I would do.

Is it a recently purchased domain? Sometimes it takes the nameservers 24-48 to direct to your account. I’ve received the activation email before and nothing happen as well.

Glad I could help.

Hi,

The following needs to be edited:

style.css line 830:
#post-main {
float: left;
margin-right: 25px;
min-height: 10px;
width: 440px;
}
to something like:
#post-main {
background-color: #333;
float: left;
margin-right: 25px;
min-height: 10px;
padding: 10px;
width: 500px;
}

I also added some padding so that should help with the look, otherwise your text is right on the border.

I would recommend not editing the main file style.css because if you ever update your theme, all of your changes will be over-ridden (which is no fun, I promise).

Instead you can use a child theme, which will make the changes to your website but not be over-written on updates. Here’s some info on a child theme:

I hope that helps.

Are you using the twentythirteen theme (the one with the multicolored circles on the header)?

Thanks

I would recommend creating a child theme and then you want to edit the
.main-navigation a {
color: #000000;
display: block;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin-left: 1em;
padding: 0.4em;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
This is line 573 in style.css

Hi,

Have you checked out this page:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_WordPress

Also, a lot of times the web host will have some type of software package that will install wordpress for you (usually called fantastico, softaculous, mojomarketplace or something like that). I usually go this route because it creates everything for you.

Regards,
Josiah

Is wordpress available as a cpanel install (like softaculous or mojomarketplace)? It is usually in the software area on your cpanel. That will walk you through a simple install. You can place the install in a subdirectory (www.example.com/wordpress) so you can leave the current site as is. Once you are ready to launch, just get rid of the index.html page and follow these simple instructions:
