Thank you both for your input!!! Turns out that the parse error in my code was causing the Background-image: none; not to be read. Once I fixed the validation errors, then I was able to eliminate the WP logo.

You’re right, when I change it in the Twenty ten theme style sheet, the logo goes away. But when I add coding to the Child theme style sheet, nothing happens. I’m not sure why…any ideas? I can change the padding, the text size, etc on #site-generator a in the child theme style sheet but I cannot specify background: none;

Thank you for your response…I was pulling my hair out trying to learn php and figure out what was wrong. I appreciate your help!

Since the topic was edited the footer.php, I thought that I fit the topic. Will look for another place.

I am trying to edit the footer.php in Twenty Ten to replace the “proudly powered by…”. I changed it and it looks fine, but I am getting a W3.org validation error. I’m not familiar with PHP. Can you help me fix there error?
Site: https://www.saravaron.net
The code I am using in the Child theme php is:

<div id="site-generator">
<?php do_action( 'twentyten_credits' ); ?>
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://sheilahvaron.com/' ) );
 ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'SheilahVaron.com'); ?>"
rel="generator"><?php printf( __( 'Site created by Sheilah Varon'), 'WordPress' ); ?>
</div><!-- #site-generator -->

The W3.org validation error message is:

4. Line 190, Column 84: Bad value generator for attribute rel on element a: Keyword generator is not registered.
…om/” title=”SheilahVaron.com” rel=”generator”>Site created by Sheilah Varon
Syntax of link type valid for and <area>:
A whitespace-separated list of link types listed as allowed on and <area> in the HTML specification or listed as an allowed on and <area> on the Microformats wiki without duplicate keywords in the list. You can register link types on the Microformats wiki yourself.

Thank you…it worked great. I appreciate your patience!

Are you talking about the 4 Extra Fields in the section called Form: (form 1)? I did take extra field one, in the label area put “Department to contact” and then changed the background color in the field for “input CSS”. So for the extra field 1 I put info in the “label” and “input Css” boxes only. I did press Update options when I finished. Nothing changed, so is this the right place? If it is, what am I doing wrong? Is there another place I can make this change?

ps. Thanks for your help.

I think I know what the problem is. I was trying to edit the blog page instead of adding a new post.

OK…I’m not sure what the problem was, but I changed the “reading setting” to “Your Latest Posts” instead of static page. Then I changed it back to static page. Now I’m not getting the 404 error

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

This is my .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Another piece of info…I am using the “Day and Name” option for the permalinks…not the custom option. I know that on other support threads, using the custom option has been a problem causing 404 errors.

I recreated the page. I haven’t even set up categories yet. The only category I have right now is “uncategorized”. I don’t have any tags either. I just trashed another page (Family) and did “add new page” for that same title. I came up with the same type of appended number (Family-2).

Would bet money on ? Do you think the incremental number is a clue to what is happening?

I trashed previous Blog pages because I was trying to work this out. I noticed that each new Blog page I created was named blog-2, blog-3, blog-4.
Don’t know if this could possibly be an indication of where the problem is happening.
