Hi there

Have you seen where the menu is edited under Appearances > Menu in admin?

Once you’re in the menu section you will see on the left you can click to add pages or look further down and you’ll see you can add custom links and categories to the nav menu.

Hope that helps!

.column .widget {
    border: 1px solid rgba(204,204,204,1);
}

That looks like the code that creates the borders on widgets.

Normally when you change the style of a theme you create what is called a’child theme’ first and then make the changes in that. If you just make changes to the theme directly without making a child theme first, any changes you make just get overwritten when you update the theme. So you might need to learn how to make a child theme going forward or get someone to do this for you.

But aside from the above, basically you need to find that code in style.css and change the 1px to 0px and the widget border should go away. If that were the only change you were going to make then maybe maybe it might be OK to do this change in the editor in the Admin but be warned it’s not usually the recommended way to go about it (because… your borders would come back when the theme is updated and that code overwritten).

Hope that helps!

If you are talking about the space between the hero image and the menu:

I just had a really quick look and can see you’ve zeroed out most of the margins and padding but I can see this:

It looks like padding on the

.front-page-content-area .without-featured-image {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;
    padding: 3em 55px 0 55px;

So maybe write that padding down to 0 and that will clear the space.

You have your hero image in the content area. And I take it that’s not a ‘featured image’?

That image won’t be able to take up full screen width where it is because it is inside the .site div which seems to be wrapping up everything and it’s set to be 1180px wide max.

.site {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 1180px;
    padding: 0;
}

Hi Tom, I see your site is now dedicated to selling your blogging service. Perhaps this was resolved then?

OK yes sorry I thought you wanted the image to be 800px wide so thought we could clear that up first.

Moving onto the second issue: why the image gets resized…

How are you uploading the images?
Do you have any kind of image resizing plugin installed?
The giveaway might be that URL with i2.wp.com
That seems to be related to something called Photon. I saw this on the Photon site:

“How does Photon determine which dimensions to serve?
Photon looks at the img element’s width and height attributes and then serves an image resized to those dimensions or to the width of the containing element (whichever is smaller).”

Could this be installed perhaps?

Hi Tom

Your page is 1000px wide. Your .entry-content width is 700px plus 150px each side padding (=1000px total). How can an image that is 800px wide fit into 700px when you’ve got it set to max-width: 100% in the CSS?

I would still sort that first.

Nice one ??

I’m not sure why that link just included all of my text! To be clear the link is WordPress information and the text is my own information not from WordPress ??

You’ve mentioned the “theme” but I’m talking about plugins which are usually separate to a theme. Plugins are usually stored in the /wp-content/plugins/” directory. So if you had a plugin installed called “MyPlugin” I would normally expect to see a folder in there like this: /wp-content/plugins/MyPlugin and if I didn’t want that in there I would just delete that “MyPlugin” folder and it would be gone. That file path in the error is not a “page” you can link to in a browser, it’s showing you where your current installation of layer slider apparently is.

Here is the WordPress information on managing plugins:

If you are familiar with using ftp, you would usually be able to connect to the site, open that folder and see if there is a LayerSlider folder in there and delete it. This would remove it from your WordPress install. I wouldn’t do that if it was working fine and I wanted to re-activate it at another time or if I wanted to save any associated data. I’m only suggesting deleting the folder because it seems like you already have an installation that you are unable to activate that is causing problems. So deleting it and trying again would be the first thing I personally would try to do.

I think that perhaps you really need need to go to the LayerSlider support (if they have it) for these questions though if that doesn’t fix the problem.

No problem! Hopefully you used the Google removal tool rather than Cylex though. Putting incorrect data online forces company owners to claim the listing and update it. I wonder if this is actually their tactic for getting the directory populated and why / how Google has decided they are more of an authority than your own site!

No, usually he wouldn’t be able to if it’s a self hosted install of WordPress. Once hosting runs out if it’s not renewed hosting accounts are usually suspended and then deleted (including any files stored). If you want to keep the site accessible you could make a copy of the site files and export the database then and install it locally so you would just view it on the one computer it has been installed on (obviously it wouldn’t be available on the www if you did that). It’s not simple if you’re a beginner but there is a lot of information out there explaining how to do this. At least copy the files and export the database so you have a copy and then maybe later can reinstall it.

Content Removal Request might work.

I should add that I would be very careful about claiming and editing a listing with that company. It looks a bit dodgy to me. I would be more inclined to ask to have it removed altogether.

Hi there, I think I found it: there’s an incorrect directory listing here that links to that website. So Google is maybe pulling the listing title from there?

I think you need to contact that site and ask them to edit the listing to reflect the correct website address.

First thing I would do is check webmaster tools to see if there are any errors or messages that might shed some light and check out the ‘search appearance’ section. I’d also check your robots.txt. Then I would talk to Google to see if they have any answers. From what I can see the site was last indexed Sep 2nd and the correct page title is in the code. So something else is feeding that completely irrelevant title to the search results. I personally haven’t seen this happen before! Something that came to mind was that perhaps the site was recycled from an old one and maybe there’s some code left that hasn’t been updated? There are a few things for you to check out. Hope that helps.
