Thank you thank you ?? – I guess I know what my next project is then ha.

It is from altering the core theme. I didn’t know about child themes until after I went to town on this one. In the future I’m hoping to recreate this one as a child theme before I create my first actual theme as well.

Thanks for the feedback ??

I’m using FoundationPress, but there is almost nothing left of it except the basic php theme layouts.

Simple and easy to get through – I like it. The above comment about the images is a good subject to look at too. I’m more about the text/content then I am about images as well though so I get what you’re doing. My suggestion (if you don’t go for the adding images bit) is to add some headings that say what you do specifically. So that way it’s the first thing that people see. They’re coming to your site cause they need painting services, they know what they need and the first thing they’re going to want to know is if you can do what they’re looking for. Just a thought.

Also, can I ask you: did you use a plugin for the slider and carousel on your main page? Or are they coded into your site by hand? I like them a lot and it’s something I’ve been looking for.

Very nice – the only thing I would look into (and I’m still semi new so ignore me if it sounds silly) is making the layout less choppy. You go from the menu which is only centered and not very wide – to a slider that is wider but not 100% and so on down the page.

As for the font- check out Google Web Fonts, they have a nifty tool of seeing what fonts are used together as well so you get the best looking outcome with subtle differences that will point out what’s what.

All in all very nice – and now I want to redo my kitchen too ??

Yes it is senff, it can be as much HTML as you want as well. You just have to change what your front page is loaded as – which you can do from the appearance muenu on your dashboard.

I just told you how to above in my last comment. Need to go to your dashboard and appearance.

satrntgr – go and download notepad++, useful for everything. Not the plugin authors fault that you didn’t have a program.

Okay, so I figured it out. Here’s the fix for anyone looking at things.

The function – not needed at all.

Edit your comments.php file:
Delete your <?php printf…. line and replace it with the following:

<a class="author" href ="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?author=<?php echo $comment->user_id ?>"><?php echo $comment->comment_author?></a>

OOOO, okay ?? Let me lay some knowledge on ya ??

You’ll have to create an html page – there is no way around this. It needs SOMETHING to be able to read and render. Do you have any coding skills? If not, this will be a possible downfall for you. You’ll also have to associate it with a css file in order to style it. All this is something I can’t exactly help you with in a post/comment.

After you have your page created, you just go into your Dashboard > Appearance > Customize and the left side menu will allow you to pick how you want to display your site (assuming your theme supports this). The block you’re looking for is called Static Front Page, you’ll want to select your home page as the page you just created and then assign another page for your articles (unless you already have a page associated with it – which is normal).

That will at least get you started. If you have no programming skills then I would look into Dreamweaver … I’ve never really had to get into that area personally.

Ahhh I see. Well, in any case. You can create entirely static pages (html) even while using WordPress then. Just create a full page in html (you can find plenty of templates – I personally would suggest looking at Foundation Framewok).

Just don’t include the get_header, get_sidebar or get_footer and you’ll be set up with a fully html only page.

I’m not certain why you’re using wordpress then? ??

You can just add your own header and footer though in that one page and just not call the get_header/get_footer though.

This is the code I have for recent posts in my footer – it’s not an added widget, just added custom. Where would I place the code you just mentioned? Sorry, I’m crap with PHP still – trying to learn though ??

<?php
   $args = array( 'numberposts' => '7' );
   $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
   foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
	echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '" title="Take a look at '.esc_attr($recent["post_title"]).'" >' .   $recent["post_title"].'</a> </li> ';
   }
?>

Well … I’m not sure what it was that was causing it but it’s no longer an issue. Thanks for checking on it as well. I believe the feedback was probably caused by some other program being open as well. Who knows … another mystery of life ??

What browser are you using? Wonder if that could even be an issue to cause sound. I’ll leave this open for now to see if anyone else can hear it. Hopefully not.
