Thanks for your suggestions, I’m learning how to use firebug I get confused sometimes but keep trying. And yes just by doing this for a time and alot pf practice will help.
Thanks again,
Karlene

Alchymyth, Thanks so much for the reply, I added the code above and it worked in my full width template. By full width, I meant the ability to put content on the entire page with no side bars and little margins.
So that I can learn from this can you explain how I may have learned this on my own by looking at the code or anywhere else, and why it might be that while searching the forums for the answer to this, it seems like there a many different answers to the same question. Is it because I already made a child theme and template? Here is a link to the page I am using this for (I still have to do some work on the text – I want the text to run down the entire right side of the picture), I’m also using it on the submenu under home. https://www.bethelysleboda.com
Thanks again, you saved me some headaches and time.

Sorry for got to give the site name. It is bethelysleboda.com
Thanks again!

Agee – Thanks but I really want to do modifications in child theme format.
Andrew – just another clarification. Every selector I see for the search bar – correct? There are more than what you lited. And can they be listed as you did above? Then add the display none?
I tried what you put – like I said the search bar is gone but my menu bar runneth over – I have removed a menu item as a quick fix, but I do need to add it back in.
Thanks again for your help – much appreciation!

Thank you both for your help! The search bar is now gone but it appears that the space that was taken up by the box itself is still taking up the real estate – thus making my menu overflow. Any additional code I should add?

And any good tutorials (sounds like I need to understand selectors) for someone that doenst know CSS too well so I can plow my way thru doing this?

if I understand you right
this is what I find

#branding .only-search #s, #branding .only-search #s:focus {
    width:85%;
}

so I would add this line to my childtheme style.css
{display:none} after the previous lines?

Hi, Pierre,
I think the sounds like a great idea. I’d like to implement this my self into the patchwork function.php. I’m trying to customize some of it. I’m not sure where you are suggesting to place this code into the file. Could you please explain where to place it.
Thanks for your help and a great idea!

I think I finally fixed the problem by playing around with the different date formats.
In the EVENTS Format setting I used “Events – #F #d #Y”
In the Date/Time formats setting I used – “F/d/Y”

This makes everything come out in a format that is acceptable.
ie: January/28/2012

the wp_lang is set for en_GB

I hope this helps someone.
Thanks for the replies.
Karlene

I set WPLANG to en_GB as you suggested. It still does not show dd/mm/yy. Any other ideas?
And I also upgraded to the latest version.
Thanks, Karlene

I was able to fix #1 in my question above – it was a matter of finding the coma in the the css for the the header and removing it.

I’m still having problems with the date format of dd/mm/yy instead of mm/dd/yy.

My WP Lang is set for default of English – meaning it is blank. I did some reading on it. I’m wondering if I should force it to be en_us. If so the codex says you also need an en_us.mo file and an .po file.
I’m assuming that the .mo file is just a txt file? And it looks like the .po file is very complicated. Do you know where I can find the en_us.po file? And will this even help.

My customer is quite adamant that the format be correct. Can you help me any further please.
Thanks, Karlene

Thanks for the link for help on this. I’m a newer than newbie. I’m not sure what to do with the info given. How do I shut the ability for a comment off all together? Thanks in advance. This is issue is causing me alot of spammy comments. Should I turn off the trackbacks and pingbacks on the page also?

Thank you Thank you Thank you! That worked

Thanks for the replies but neither worked.

the only css I can find for dark.sss is in the functions.php
I changed to :
#main-image {
border: none;
padding-top: 0;
still shows the grey lined box

I cant Run the Jetpack plugin – oher than that everything is working ok.
Thank you. Do you know of a good reliabe plugin to se in place of Jepack for site stats?
