hmmm….some guesses

You can try putting the youtube url only on the html side of the post editing section. Also sometimes modifications don’t happen right away and you have to exit the browser and then look at it again.

A link to your site would be very helpful.

I’m guessing you mean main navigation menu. Ok, go to menu. Then make a custom menu (don’t forget to assign it to the correct location). Then look at categories. Check off the correct category and then add to menu. that should add the category to the menu.

to have a category under a category then you’ll have to stagger it underneath. That means

category one
___category two.

Make sure it’s not right underneath but to the left. For the rest of the categories make sure they are right underneath the one above it.

If you use cPanel go to Php myadmin and click the wordpress database. If you have hostgator and did quickinstall then it should be something like _wdpr#.

Then click wp_users
Edit
user_pass and then type a new password on value. Make sure the function is on MD5. After that click go. The new password should work. Let me know if you have any problems doing this.

Don’t forget to make the changes on the theme options page where you can add css without having to make a whole new child theme.

@christine

For example, in your page.php, try removing `<?php comments_template(); ?>’ and that will remove the comment sections from ALL pages.

wow that’s awesome

You chose the perfect CMS!

Also, under the various tabs, is it possible to have things under that. for instance, under the About tab, could I have a tab with mission statement, board of directors etc?

Hopefully with that theme you can make a custom menu.

Go to menu, and make a custom menu.

Your pages are listed like this.

About

Arts and Education

Blog

Drag the pages you want under them underneath like

About
____Page underneath

Arts and Education
___Page underneath
_____Page underneath page underneath
Blog

Also you’ll want to go to where you edit the page and give the page a parent page. the parent page should be the page above it.

Is there a way to make sub pages static and less bloggy? I’d like to have just a plain page without comments

Go to edit page, >>theme options on the top right >>discussion and then look below the blog text and uncheck comments.

and all that other random stuff that you normally find on sub pages.

can you elaborate?

btw, which theme is this?

hello deepakjoshi1! hmm…did you make any changes to theme files? btw, perhaps u want to make a new thread so more people can see your question

Are all wordpress themes customizable or is that a theme to theme basis.

Yes. All wordpress themes are customizeable. You can change the backend code stuff by going to themes>edit theme (a little more advanced). The stylesheet is there and you can make changes for the whole site (you’ll later learn to a child theme is great for not messing up your theme, but that’ll come soon).

Also, the simple things that can be customized really easily are the sidebar widgets, adding on plugins, removing/changing photo on the header, changing the order, what pages/post categories are displayed on the navigation menu, and quickly which theme is being used.

Now certain themes have what’s called themes options which is listed under appearance. Usually the theme options are what make the theme unique in terms of what can be customized. The theme options part usually makes it much easier to make customizations in whatever is unique in the theme.

I haven’t tried any, but I bet paid for themes make this part much easier.

My problem with Squarespace was my site looked fine on Firefox, all my links were off on Chrome and the entire thing was smushed on IE, so I need a responsive theme so that doesnt happen right?

I haven’t tried squarespace. hmm…responsive theme. I’m not sure what you mean by that, but sounds like it’s a Squarespace problem. The only problems I had between browsers happened with internet explorer throwing something slightly off. It’s very unlikely you’ll have browser problems. I’d trust most free themes on the WordPress theme directory. And if you paid for it, it’ll probably be good too. Usually cross browser compatibility isn’t an issue when looking for themes.

haha, I’m glad I could help. I love when people(especially beginners) are able to do what they were trying to do.

and I know that I want a responsive theme because that is what frustrated me and made me leave Squarespace was the lack of consistency throughout browsers for my site.

yeah, wordpress is great, and free, has high flexibility and freedom to customize, and is great for beginners to learn (especially b/c of the Wp community, ex forum and Wordcamps and regular people such as non programmers and bloggers who use it )

Do you have a recommendation for a theme from either of those sites? I want something nice looking that doesnt scream “simple run of the mill blog” but since I am blogging about being a mom I dont need anything to sharp or edgy.

sorry, I hadn’t used those sites before. I hope you find it! Finding the right theme feels great. (I’ve spent hours finding the perfect theme, and usually it ended up being one I already saw!)

hahahaha. I love it! Wow. that’s why people use firebug. Inspect. It’s beautiful. Thanks for the help WPyogi!

Have you tried…

ordering it by making a custom menu

and then assigning the custom menu where it should be under ‘menu location’ where the menu stuff are?

(that’s the most common mistake)

oooOOOOooooo. interesting.

how did you find out my menu item was 152 (where on firebug can I do this?). I tried hovering over the different categories on categories, and the numbers I found and then tried did not do anything (and they were in the teens). Apparently there is a 152 somewhere, and probably a 153 or 154 or 152. but where….

so,
I made new IDs. Ex. menu-item-1. When i assigned the CSS class do I have to write #menu-item-1 or just #menu-item-1?

Also,
after your example

#menu-item-152 a …

by tag do you mean the same thing and also write an a after it and before the changes in the CSS?

Edit: hmm…I added a combo of each one to test. Uh, is it possible i’m misinterpreting what you told me about the ‘a’ thing?

i tested some of your categories on the ‘Filed under: ” and they worked. sitefeeds works too.

interesting. it’s my style.css file, but it’s the same thing.
