There will be a read more placed after the excerpt automatically. If you have deleted anything from the wordpress admin then you’ll find it in the trash section for pages and posts. you can just undo trash. Don’t know if it works for the category.

It will be easier to help if you can tell that did you make changes to theme files or were just playing with the options in the admin.

For getting a fresh theme just look for the same theme in https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/

Then download the theme and install. May be this should work.

Yes you can do it in free themes also. Just search for “read more” in your functions.php file and replace by whatever you want. Its in this file for most of the themes. But try have a backup before editing this file as it may break the theme. Mostly replacing the text in functions file works.

To customize the excerpts there is an option in wordpress. In your edit post page check the ‘excerpt’ field option in ‘screen options’ at the top right of edit page. Then you’ll have a field for excerpt just below the visual/text editor. Whatever you add there will appear as excerpt.
And may be the plugin’s are also doing same.

Ok so i don’t know what kind of menu’s are you using. But i think you need to add css for the “active” class. try adding css background color for class ‘current-menu-item’ and ‘current_page_item’. Mostly these classes are used for what you are trying to do.

so add .current-menu-item{ background-color: (colorname); } to your css file.

I don’t know which browser are you using. so try looking for inspect element option in chrome browser. just right click and it will appear in the options.

Well free themes aren’t that risky if they are getting regular updates. Same is for premium themes. Sometimes premium or paid themes create more problems.
The best place for getting free themes is www.ads-software.com itself.

Or you can directly go to here and search :

Well if you are trying to add the adsense code in header file then i think you can place that code in the div named “masthead” after the rss block. Some css may need to be added to make look aligned to the other parts of the page. Please try and reply.

Use any inspect tool in your browser like firebug for firefox. Then go the page and choose inspect element after right clicking over the menu item. You’ll see the classes for that element in the html console. Hope it helps. Please reply if it helps or if you need more info on this

your welcome i am happy that it helped

I am not clear about what you are asking, but i you can check that yourself by doing inspect element in your browser. this will show the related class or id.

Hi i am also a beginner. You can use inpect element from the browser to see which is the tag for a particular piece. just right click over the item (like menu link or image) and choose ‘inspect element’.

There are more than one thing that needs to be changed,

one thing you can do is to remove the width setting from ‘.left-sidebar #primary’ tag and reduce the width to approx. 44% in the ‘.left-sidebar #secondary’ tag

this will show both the parts side by side…i think that is what you want to do. you can try these settings in the inspect element also and then finally make changes in your css file…
hope it helps

Yes it seems to be “headlines_enhanced”.

Your Welcome…

can’t say without looking at the admin or backend cause i can’t even the page. is there any other such post?

Hey,

I saw just checked your link. And the site is very beautiful. I think the ‘by’ and ‘author’ are generated by some code in the template files.

May be you’ll have to do that from the backend.
