OK, RSS feeds are likely your best choice. There are a couple different WordPress plugins for this, like:

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/jps-get-rss-feed/
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/rss-import/

If you need to put it outside of wordpress, you might need to find a PHP script that parses RSS feeds.

Hahaha! Awesome. Glad it worked.

Firebug actually allows you to change the CSS in the browser window, dynamically. Watch some tutorials on it – you can set the code to show the page the way you want by editing any element or declaration, and then edit your styles.css file afterward. It’s super helpful – I use it every day.

Probably. I would highly recommend using Firebug (https://getfirebug.com/) for debugging this kind of problem. It allows you to select every html element and see the CSS code that is applied to it, including the line number in the file. You can quickly track down your troubles with this tool.

As for the background, you could easily set one like this:

div#content { background: #eee; }

But if you removed too much, you might need to start again from scratch… You may have removed padding and margins that you didn’t mean to, which would screw up the design in the way you mention.

Tim

OK. Since you have no background for the products page, try this for the black text:

.products {
color: #efefef;
}

… or any other color.

And for the other problem, change the first code I sent you to:

.woocommerce, .products a {
color: #efefef;
}

But you may want a different color for the links, to make them unique and clickable. Check https://colorschemedesigner.com/ for a good list of colors for different schemes.

Tim

OK, no worries. Those colors are still set by styles.css. It’s just that there’s no background to view them against. You’ll need to override them by specifying the woocommerce code, like this:

.products a {
color: #efefef;
}

Or something similar.

As for the shipping costs… That’s beyond me. I just enjoy the programming aspect… ??

Hi –

Sorry, I didn’t design the code, I’m just trying to help. But none of the validation errors are caused by the CSS editor… Those seem like either theme problems or plugin problems. And some of the “a href” tags don’t have “=” signs.

Tim

Oh, OK. When I click “Add to Cart”, it just takes me to Paypal though…

I think the black/red/brown text is all the same color (#4A0000), but it looks different on the different background colors.

Are you looking to change the link colors?

If so, look for line # 296 in your styles.css. You can change it to any other color from there.

If you’ve never tried it, look up Firebug, an extension for Firefox. It’s invaluable for discovering how to fix CSS troubles.

This depends on the theme you’re using. If you post a link to your site, I can show you how to change it.

Tim

This sounds like an error with your server, not with WordPress. Can you upload the plugin via straight FTP, ignoring WordPress? That would be my first step. Failing that, you would need to try contacting your hosting company…

Tim

Hi –

It looks like your widgets are set inside the “Top Menu” space instead of in the “Sidebar” space. Check where the widgets are located in your Widgets page (in the Admin).

Tim

Hi –

You can actually combine these two blogs pretty easily – it’s overkill to have two separate installations. You can use Posts for articles and blogging, and Pages for informational content. This way you could combine them without any trouble at all.

Tim

Hi!

This is likely an issue with CSS compatibility, not the plugin. What is not showing up right in IE?

Internet Explorer can be a huge headache!
