Dear thehutc71,

Please ignore any advice I have given, as I am clearly very ignorant in suggesting to change the code for a single image.

Don’t worry. I will not give any more advice as I am a bit confused about the tone in this thread. Maybe esmi and WPyogi would consider to make suggestions in a more polite manner, as we are here to share information?

@ thehutc71. Good luck on the project. I am sure the others can help you from here. I was actually not try to stir things up.

Best,

Mia

Hi,

Great to make aware of a child theme. However, since it is a minor change I simple suggested to amend the image tag to include a link, as it will not interfere with any updates, etc. But to be on the save side; have at least a back up of your header.php before amending. Or create a child theme as suggested by Esmi

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. I am using this plugins: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/galleria/ called Galleria, but not sure how to find the correct page in the Plugin Repository?

Thanks

hello,

To create an image link from your header, you will first need to go to your header.php file, which can be done via edit:

_______

Find:
<img src=”https://thebayhorsemasham.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/cropped-HEADER11.jpg&#8221; class=”header-image” width=”2000″ height=”524″ alt=””>

Replace:

<img src=”https://thebayhorsemasham.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/cropped-HEADER11.jpg&#8221; class=”header-image” width=”2000″ height=”524″ alt=”Go to bookings”/>

_________

This will open a new window linking to: https://securebooking.eviivo.com/MyWebsite/details.aspx?shortname=BayHorseHG44DX

Hope it works.

Best,

Mia

Hi there,

I have had exactly the same problem and am very puzzled by it. The way I get aorund it is to hit space for every blank line I make. So, I click enter > space

as many times I want a blank line. I too find it a bit strange but it looks to be a bit easier than the Notepad thing.

Good luck

Mia

Hmm…. I seem to avoid the problem by making a space for every line space I want. But I will still like to get some feed back in case a clever plug-in or similar should be around for editing text and images.

Thank you

Hi there,

Your search page has it’s own php file ans is normally called search.php. This file calls to the coding in your stylesheet normally called style.css. You can from these two files edit your search page in any way you like.

Good luck

Mia

Hi there,

I have been in similar situation. If you have some plugins installed one of these could cause the problem. Try to deactivate a plug-in one by one to see whether this could cause the problem.

Hi there,

You need to edit your style.scc by opening it in a text edit programe or Dreamweaver. You need to have some knowledge on PHP and HTML in order to do so. Are you familiar with this?

Mia

Hi again,

I did it! All I had to do was to modify the stylesheet. Phew…. slowly but safely. Should anyone else run into similar problems then please drop a line as it has taken me many hours to get this far ??

thanks again

Mia

hi there,

Thank you so much for your feed back. Yes, the front page is using its own template. I have tried as suggested, and it now comes up with this:
https://www.signsalad.com/wordpress/

So, it has deleted the image and moved the navigation to the right. I think this has to with the style.css which I have tried to modify. But I do it in blind and have therefor pasted my coding in below:

New tamplate file for frontpage called Indexnew.php
<?php /* Template Name: Indexnew
*/ ?>

<?php get_header(index); ?>

<div id=”content”>

<div id=”contentleft”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h1>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(__(‘Read more’));?><div style=”clear:both;”></div>

<!–
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
–>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<p><?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?></p><?php endif; ?>
<?php posts_nav_link(‘ — ‘, __(‘« go back’), __(‘keep looking »’)); ?>

</div>
</div>

<!– The main column ends –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Style.css (where I have inserted nav1)

Hi there,

Did chech the background image for your body? I am not familiar with your theme but maybe it calls on an image for the background, if it does you can remove the dots you dont fancy in Photoshop or an other photo editor by creating a new image you prefer.

Hope it makes sense

good luck

Mia

erm… sorry… I didnt have the correct link to the php file… if anyone runs into similar problem drop a line as it took me a while to tweak the design ??

Hi there, wordpress for dummies is an excellent book and the one which gave me the insight for getting started with WordPress. I think this is the easiest way for now ?? Good luck!

Hi again

OK, I think its the code in the header, but I seem to get it wrong. Is this the code I need to change and if so what is the correct code if I want the Home link to call a page called frontpage.php

<li class=”<?php echo($home_menu); ?>”>” href=”<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>/”><?php _e(‘Home’, ‘inove’); ?>

Thanks again
