On my website, https://www.turntoproductions.com, I have a background image. I put background-size:contain; in to get it to fill the screen, which it does in Firefox, but in Explorer, it shows a small image in the upper-left hand. Is there another attribute I need to give it for Explorer?

Thanks,

Michael R. Martin

It is https://dev.turntoproductions.com. I do not know if it shows up, being a development site. The reason I put the style sheet in, is because, and I admit unfamiliarity with WordPress, every style sheet seems to be set up differently and use different ways to code the same thing, so if I see a section of code in a Forum reply, it does not look at all like the code in any of the themes I am considering, does not say WHERE in WHICH sheet or php it should be placed, and does not work any place I try it. This is true for several issues.

Thanks,

Mike

Is there a way to tell it to resize pictures to fit the size of the slider area you want (and have a background to fill the space, if some pictures are landscaped and some are portrait orientation), without having to go into the image library and resize every picture?

Thanks

Yes, it’s activated. It still shows “Comments Off” at the bottom of the text, “Posted in by TurnToAdmin: December 19, 2012” over the bar below the text.

The odd code you see on the top right is another thing. I got a plug in, the Word Press Slider plugin for a slide show and it said to place the shortcode where I wanted it, which I did in the header, and it just shows the code, not the slide show. I have sent to the developer on that but have not heard back.

Actually, I had a saving issue, so the child theme is now available and reads as above, but it does seem to have changed anything.

No, it has Black Glass as the Current Theme, but at the bottom of the Available Themes is this:

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
Black Glass Template is missing.

There is no “Template” file in the original Black Glass ZIP folder
I put this in Notepad:
/*
Theme Name: Black Glass Child
Description: Child theme for the Black Glass theme
Author: Michael R. Martin
Template: black-glass
*/

@import url(“../black-glass/style.css”);

p.nocomments {
display: none;
}
and saved it as style.css
I created a folder in wp-content/themes called black-glass-child and uploaded the style.css file to it.

Alternately, are you familiar with either Plug n Edit or Headway as drag and drop editors?

So should this (based on the document liked in your reply) be the entirety, top to bottom, of the style.css file in the child directory?

/*
Theme Name: Black Glass Child
Description: Child theme for the Black Glass theme
Author: Michael R. Martin
Template: black-glass
*/

@import url(“../black-glass/style.css”);

p.nocomments {
display: none;
}

This is what I see on the Menus page:
https://dev.turntoproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Menu-Screenshot.jpg
The section with the menu is greyed out and I can’t do anything with it. I don’t want a create a new menu in the sidebar in addition to the navigation bar under the header, I like that menu the way it is, except I want a drop-down submenu available under the main page names.

For the second question, I do have it unchecked, but I still see “No Comments” at the bottom of the text, and “Posted in by TurnToAdmin: December 20, 2012 ” across the bar at the bottom of the text, and “Comments are closed” below that. I don’t want any of that text at all – just what I type, and the grey bar at the bottom of the section.

I’m sorry for coming at this with so little initial WordPress knowledge; unfortunately, that is the situation I’m in – sort of like needing to build an office building and just being dropped into Home Depot with no contractor and some experience building birdhouses.
