Usually, with custom themes, the home page has its own unique style. Those styles are usually coming from a template called home.php or a custom page template. First, if there is a Page called “home” go there and look under Page Attributes – if it has a Page Template assigned, then that is the template it is using. To edit that, you’ll need to edit the HTML/PHP template under Appearance – > Edit -> page template. BE CAREFUL adding the wrong semi-colon in the wrong place cna bring down the site.

I think you’re talking about the Custom Header feature that you can build into your themes. See this section for the template tags and functions you’ll need: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Custom_Headers

You need cpanel/phpmyadmin logins and to change the website address in the database in 2 places:
1. Options Table -> the first page under Site URL and the second place is on the 3rd page under Home Url.

WHen those are correct, assuming your Name servers/ IPs are correct,you should be able to login.

If you can login, go to User – > My profile. Change it there. You might want to read up here to find the basics of WP too. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Administration_Panels

Good luck!

My pleasure! ??

Shameless plug here – that is what my company does, but it isn’t cheap. We provide boutique services to help webmasters get on their feet. Now, that aside, you need to get a couple things to do it yourself:
– hosting
– get WP installed
– then follow this guide here: https://www.labnol.org/internet/migrate-wordpress-blog-to-own-domain/12776/

Good luck!

This depends on the theme you are using. If the theme doesn’t give you a user-friendly screen, then you need to find the css rule using a tool like Inspect Element in Chrome or Firebug in FF, then go to Appearance – > Edit – > Style.css. Be aware that editing the theme files directly can have drastic consequences so take copies of everything before you being and make sure you know how to replace the copies if everything goes south!

In the menu tab, pull down the screen settings tab and select the rel attribute so you can add that.

If your site is hacked, first thing I would do is contact your host and ask them to do a security sweep. They should be able to help you remove the hack. Post back if you need help restoring your access when they’re done.

Yes, you can use wp_list_categories. See the codex page for details.

I GOT IT – wahoo!! THe plugins directory itself was 777 which apparently is bad. lol at 755, everything is working again! THanks Ravan for an awesome plugin!

AND – it is working great here – yourlittlefilm.com/family/custom-films which i’m just updating…

I have deactivated all plugins.
I deleted easy fancybox and then re-installed it. (the settings were saved however). The link I’m trying to use:
<a class="fancybox-iframe" href="https://desperatelyseekingwp.com/userylf/biz/films/yourlittlefilm-business-video-services/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-200" title="BUTTERCREAM" src="https://desperatelyseekingwp.com/userylf/biz/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/BUTTERCREAM-REPLACE-INGRIDIENTS-300x167.png" alt="" width="255" height="142" /></a>

But the css file is still showing 404 and I have NO Idea why! I can see it via ftp. I’ve changed the permissions to 777 just in case. But nothing. I can’t activate the default theme. The iframe / html page I’m trying to open is a custom post type, which wont be there in the other themes. could the code inside the iframe, conflict?

Thanks for any help you can offer!!

Oh yes – of course!
