A child theme will inherit any of the parent CSS that you don’t overwrite, so you can’t just leave it blank. Include the max-width attribute, but set it to “none” and it will work.

#wrapper {
position: relative;
max-width: none;
margin: 0 auto;
box-shadow: 0 0 18px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
background: #f8f8f8;
overflow: hidden;
}

For example, if you want to change the colors of the post titles on the homepage, you would use Firebug to see:

.entry-title a {
    color: #333333;
}

Then if you wanted to make them red instead of dark gray, you would add:

.entry-title a {
    color: #FF0000;
}

as custom CSS.

Yowza, I just downloaded Suffusion and see way more sidebar files and code than I’m prepared to help with. If someone doesn’t come along to answer this question you should have better luck on the support page for that theme: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/suffusion

If you delete the content of the widgets, do they not go away?

If you make this change on line 6 of style.css you’ll get a bullet point:

ol {}
ul {list-style: disc inside;}

You can do it by adding ErrorDocument 404 /index.php to your .htaccess file.

However, the second response on this thread (WebmasterWorld.com) suggests that’s a horrible idea for SEO. That user recommends customizing your 404 page with an explanation of the problem, a link to your home page, to your sitemap and to major categories.

From your WordPress Dashboard go to Appearance -> Editor and then find “Footer” or “footer.php” in the right column.

You might see the “Art by Payday Loans” line written at the bottom of this file or it might be encoded. If you’re comfortable looking at the code you should be able to figure it out. If not, you can copy and paste your entire footer.php file here and someone should be able to point out the section to remove.

For your other question, on most sites you can swap your main content and your sidebar sections by changing their floats from right to left, or vice versa, in your CSS file. If you provide a link to your site I (or someone else) can tell you specifically where to make the change.

That’s awesome Jason. Way to stick with it! It looks like you have two entry divs in your template, which is fine if everything’s working, but here’s how you’d get your gradient to cover the rest of your white space.

<div class="entry"><!-- Add gradient class to this div -->
       <header class="entry-header">
          <h1 class="entry-title">Regional Services</h1>
      </header>
      <div class="entry gradient"><!-- Remove gradient class from this div -->
          <div class="entry-content">
          </div>
</div>

Your text sits within:
<div class=”entry”>.

Find that line in your new template and add a class for your new background:
<div class=”entry gradient”>

Now open up your style.css file and add a new class for your gradient.

.gradient {
     ALL OF THE GENERATED CODE GOES HERE
}

*Note that your class doesn’t have to be called .gradient. It can be anything as long as it’s the same on your stylesheet as your page template.

Would you like your gradient to replace the white article background? You can do it but it will take a little work.

You’ll have to create a custom template, which isn’t as scary as it sounds. It would basically be a duplicate of your default template but you would add a CSS class or ID to whichever section you want the gradient on.

Then in your CSS file you add that class or ID and paste the CSS from ColorZilla.

Then you’ll go into your WordPress admin, open the Regional Services page and assign it the new template.

Go into your Admin and then go to Settings -> Privacy and make sure you are allowing search engines!

Okay, so you need to take the file that downloaded and upload it into the root folder of your site. After you upload it, it will exist at this link: https://www.techsupportrecordings.com/googleeb48a48e812f03bd.html

Once you visit the page it will confirm to Google that you are the owner of the site.

There should be more to it than just “googleeb48a48e812f03bd.html”

The verification code should look more like this:
<meta name='google-site-verification' content='dBw5CvburAxi537Rp9qi5uG2174Vb6JwH>

Once you have that, it needs to go inside your <head>. That means between the <head> and </head> tags. You currently have it between </head> and <body>.

<head>
<title>Your Title</title>
<meta name='google-site-verification' content='dBw5CvburAxi537Rp9qi5uG2174Vb6JwH>
</head>
<body>

@songdogtech: Feel free to delete my comments if you’re able. In my experience what I suggested has worked. I haven’t built a plugin and didn’t consider that his project might be something to share.

Did you have the problem before you installed the Category Icons plugin? If not, deactivate the plugin and see if the line goes away. Then you can either re-activate it or delete and reinstall. One of those actions may solve your problem.
