You can create your own background, upload it to the theme directory and change a relatively small amount of code without having to redo the entire theme but there will still be some editing. You can’t just upload it to the editor.

I believe it’s because your “em” tag is outside the link. The tedious solution would be to do linked titled separately from unlinked titles. First italicize that link title then add the URL over that whole thing.

<a href="https://google.com"><em>Like this</em></a>

Alternatively, you could specific an anchor class that is italicized and use it for all title like that.

a.italic
{
font-style: italic;
}

<a class="italic" href="https://www.filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/reviews/Secret-Window">Secret Window</a>

If you create a new theme, you will need to change it. Perhaps I am just not understanding.

You could edit all the files in your theme folder to fine tune it to your specifications. Depending on how well you know HTML and CSS, you could come up with something completely unrecognizable from the original – in a good way!

Your theme folder is located in wp-content/wp-themes and has the same name as your current theme. These files are editable via a program like Notepad or Textpad and if you change the permissions (chmod) you can edit them directly from the WP dashboard.

This is a very broad subject – broad to the point that I am not sure even what you mean. I think most themes could be use for a site that has an education related purpose but it really depends what the purpose of the site is.

Will it have lessons? Then the theme should have, perhaps in the sidebar, a link to all lessons.

Will it display related news? Then news categories and comments would be helpful.

Advice for other teachers (or students?) then a contact form to ask advice.

A zine-type could have article displayed prominently, author profiles, an easy way to submit content and a link for potential ‘staff’ to register.

An official website might require an official logo or header but..

These are just stabs in the dark. “Themes for education” doesn’t give me any sort of clue what types of sites would use them therefore I don’t know what would make my experience best.

Could you post an example?

..bump?

It appears that all 3 columns are in the div right-content, which I imagine you only want the right sidebar to be in.

It seems you’re using A LOT of unnecessary divs. I can’t tell what the “wrap” div is doing that the “container” div is not already.

I’m not sure if that’s any help because maybe you didn’t do it but it might be easier if you post your index.php, and sidebar templates here

What version of IE are you using?

Could I see the page?
It depends how your nav bar is set up. If it’s jut listing pages, whenever you create a page it will show up. If it’s hard coded into a template file like header.php, you can add a link via HTML.

Well, this only seems to be an issue in IE.

But I think it’s because your navigation link is aligned to float left.
Try changing your css for “alignleft” to this:

.alignleft {
	float: left;
clear: right;
	}

What do you mean by “advanced options?”

Hiya,
This isn’t a big deal. There are several ‘levels’ of registration for wordpress: subscriber, contributor, author, editor, admin. I believe that is from least amount of abilities to most abilities. You (admin) can set these levels in the Users tab.

This is also where you can add new users but if you’re going to have several, you may want to enable registration. In your dashboard, under General settings, you can select “anyone can register” and then users will create their accounts but you still have ultimate control.

You can find more information about those roles here

I hope that helps

By custom template do you mean the overall theme or for one type of post?

Is your theme using widgets?

You can export this via PHPMyAdmin.

With phpMyAdmin you can export selected tables. When in your WordPress database, click Export along the top link tabs, then in the Export selection field where all tables of that db are listed, hold down your Ctrl key while clicking on each table you want.

These’s even plugins that do automatic back ups that might do this more easily.
