Hi frugalbonnie.

You could use those backgrounds etc, you just need to take some time to learn a bit about how WordPress themes are structured. The main file you’ll need to edit will be the style.css file, this file controls the look of a theme, you’ll find the links to background, header and other images files in your style.css. For example if you want to change your background a typical bit of markup code in your style.css would be:

body {
	font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
	font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
	background: #d5d6d7 url('images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg');
	color: #333;
	text-align: center;
	}

You would then upload your background.jpg to the images folder of your theme and then update the link images/kubrickcolor.jpg replacing “kubrickcolor.jpg” with your background image. Depending on the image you might have to add some positioning to the style.

Anyway… there are great tutorials out there that explain it better than I’m doing, I recommend perusing https://www.wpbeginner.com/ and checking out their tutorials. Theming WordPress is easy once you understand the basics.

Have fun!

You need to add some positioning. This worked for me: https://www.cre8ivecommando.com/css-sticky-footer-keep-your-footer-at-the-bottom-of-the-page-1124/

You could just localize your site, WordPress can be translated into other languages and then you can use a plugin to let visitors choose a language option: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/WordPress_in_Your_Language

It looks fine to me. I’m using Chrome, so I suspect it’s a dreaded browser issue:(

Which browser are you using?

I think it might be a WordPress version issue. Go to appearance in your WP admin, click on menus and follow the instructions to create a menu, it should give you options to add your pages to your menu.

It might be that the new version of WordPress does not recognize the menu function, so you kinda have to tell it it’s there.

Do you have access to an FTP program? I’d login via FTP and delete the public_html folder (provided there is nothing in it!) and then recreate the folder. Then go to Fantastico and try creating a blog folder again.

My line of thinking is that manually deleting/recreating folders via FTP would be more efficient than through Fantastico.

Shouldn’t be a problem. The theme probably has a file redirecting it once the theme is activated from the WordPress admin. Look for a file called launcher.php or redirect etc…

WordPress 3.0 can be setup as a multisite: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_Multiple_Blogs

You’ll find that text in your WordPress install:

wp-includes/post-template.php around line 1013.

You could try this:

At about line 49 of header.php you’ll see the header tag div:

<<?php echo $heading_tag; ?> id="site-title">
					<span>
						<a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>
					</span>
				</<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>

Remove the span tags:

<<?php echo $heading_tag; ?> id="site-title">

</<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>

Then in your style.css you can edit the #site-title:

#site-title {
display:block;
width:301px;
height:88px;
background:url(images/your_logo.jpg) no-repeat;
}

This will remove the site title and replace it with your_logo.jpg.

Make sure your “anyone can register” checkbox is ticked in your general settings. Your registration page will be https://www.yourdomain.com/wp-register.php

Schweet!

Thanks MichaelH! I’ll try these plugins:)
