    To clarify: I’d like to link some pages together as a course. I know there are plugins to do this with posts, are there any ways to do this with pages?

    Thanks

    No, I was using an ‘installer’ with my host for WordPress and it requires a different theme to be installed as well as the Twenty Ten theme.

    I just did a stock standard install of WordPress, manually uploading everything as standard.

    The image uploader works fine for the initial ‘Hello World’ post but any additional post doesn’t work (I get the image uploader taking up a full browser window).

    I’m beginning to think this is an issue with the host so I think I’ll contact them to see if they can fix it.

    Thanks.

    Hmm, OK. That didn’t fix it. Deleted the blog and reinstalled again a day later. Nothing.

    If I want to insert an image, I get the ‘are you sure you want to navigate away from this page’ and if I click yes, it presents that image upload lightbox but taking up a whole webpage, same problem as my first post.

    Anyone… please…?

    OK, so I discovered there was an odd theme being installed along with WordPress. Deleting that solved the issue (somehow!).

    Thanks for your help anyway.

    Right.

    Tried everything you said, nothing worked.

    Deleted everything again, deleted databases, deleted domain from Web host, started again.

    Nothing. Even in different browsers, it’s not working.

    My other WordPress blogs are fine, I really don’t know why this one’s not going.

    Very frustrating.

    What John said.

    If going through the WP editor go: Appearance=>Editor=>Style.css

    Or go through FTP (which is probably easier).

    httpdocs=>wp-content=>themes=>le-mag=>style.css

    The bit of code you want is on line 26:

    #header h1#title{font-family:"Times New Roman",Times,serif;font-size:40px;padding:25px 0 0 15px;text-transform:capitalize;}

    Just adjust the size:40px to what you want it to be. You could shift it away from Times New Roman as well, if you like ??

    Find a new host ??

    You can minify your theme files using an online tool such as https://www.minifycss.com/(for the CSS styles) or https://jscompress.com/ (javascript). Make sure you have backups of your theme files though.

    Your layout is very image heavy so you could look at reducing those further, or perhaps compressing them more before you upload them.

    Your new site is actually larger in file size them your old one. You might want to play around with different themes in order to see which one if most efficient.

    I would also suggest that you sign up for Google Webmaster tools so you can see if there is any malware or anything else that is causing traffic to spike.

    But like I said, if your website all appears normal (and it’s just very popular) then find another host.

    Do you want your blog to be shown on your main page? Or a static page? Or just shorten the blog postings to a summary?

    Go to Setting=>Reading and change what you want there.

    Otherwise it looks like you’ll have to mess around with the theme, but I think those settings above should work for what you wand them to.
