In reply to: Replace title in header with imageThat was quick!
I see where I went wrong; your original code was self explanatory. I got mixed up because I’m inexperienced with code.
Thanks a lot.

In reply to: Replace title in header with imageI thought the first set of speech marks were for the URL of the image and the speech marks after ‘title’ should be the Alt text for the image, but it didn’t work:
<div id="logo"> <a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><img src="link to image" alt="https://getloadsmorecustomers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/getloadsmorecustomers.png" title="getloadsmorecustomers" /></a> </div>
just resulted in the URL being there instead of the logo.
Please can someone give me the exact code?
The url for the image is:
https://getloadsmorecustomers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/getloadsmorecustomers.pngand the Alt text is:
getloadsmorecustomersand the title is:

In reply to: Terrible mistake. Help out a frustrated newbie?Sorry I just re-read that you can’t login, so delete your blog from the server using Fantastico if you used that initially, or via the other method mentioned above. I am not familiar with this method but there are lots of sites on how to do this if you do a search.
Good luck

In reply to: Terrible mistake. Help out a frustrated newbie?Hi Dennis
OK Don’t panic – this is easy honest. Just read carefully and go slow! If I can understand it anyone can!
If you wanted your blog to have the url https://www.sloppyphonics.com/blog then this would normally work if it is attached to a non blog site called https://www.sloppyphonics.com.
So say you had https://www.sloppyphonics.com that you built in Dreamweaver or other web builder, then added a blog, when you added WP via Fantastico (the best way to do it through Bluehost’s cpanel) it would automatically call the blog https://www.sloppyphonics.com/blog.
If you used Fantastico to install WordPress you can use Fantastico to delete the installation, but if not you need to delete the wordpress folder/folders and the wordpress database. Use the cPanel File Manager to delete the files and folders, and use the MySQL Database Wizard to delete the database user and database.
With regards to FTP:
Download the free Filezilla at https://filezilla-project.org/. The best FTP tool IMO.Just think of it as exactly like Windows Explorer with the Folders showing on the left (if you click Folders at the top). It’s just a way of organizing your files and folders, that’s all. Only it allows you to upload files and folders to your website. You need it if you want to change a WordPress theme for example.
Now install it, and once open go to File > Site Manager.
Then add New Site and your site’s cpanel details under ‘Normal’. This saves you having to remember your login every time you want to change something. The tool has its own forum and tutorials, but I’ve never needed them.
You just drag folders from the left box (your hard drive) to the relevant folder on the right (your website). You can also download folders from the server to your hard drive the same way.
BTW your site is already at https://www.sloppyphonics.com/blog/ – it’s there!
The link you put in your above post doesn’t work because you put a period at the end.
The next thing to do is just to change the theme by downloading one you like at https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/ – unzipping it, and using Filezilla to FTP it by dragging it across from your hard drive to the ‘themes’ folder on the right by opening ‘public_html’ > ‘WP-content’ > ‘themes’.
Good Luck!

In reply to: Analytics box showing on my movie postI’ve found out that this records the number of times the video is watched, no matter which website it is on, but it’s supposed to be invisible.
Does anyone know how I can make it invisible please?
Thanks

In reply to: people leave comments and i don’t see themIn Discussion settings there is the option to get an email when anyone comments.
The links can be removed from within Appearance > Widgets. When you drag an item across to one of your panels, say a tag cloud for example, whatever was there before, will disappear.
New themes already tend to have stuff like blogroll, calendar and Admin links, even though they don’t show within widgets, but once you customize this they will go.
I’m in the UK and all the Hulu videos don’t show for people outside the US. They’re just blank boxes. The YouTube ones show.
Good Luck

In reply to: Why Are My Tags Not Showing?I have now found out from the theme author; the code for putting the tags on the posts on the home page, but I’d still like to know how to update the Tag Cloud or else I’ll have to delete it.
Thanks

In reply to: Why Are My Tags Not Showing?Tags are important for my business.
So if no-one here knows the answer, where should I go to find out?
Thanks

In reply to: Why Are My Tags Not Showing?I’m thinking I should have put ‘Tag Cloud’ in the title, as it’s obviously too boring for people to click on as it is!
