Thanks Minna and podz– that was precisely the problem. I really appreciate all the help.

Excellent. Thanks Beel and Kafkaesqui!

Oh, and the ‘Great Food Sites’ text comes up BEFORE the ‘Categories’ bit, as you can see… .

Kafkaesqui: Yep, that did it. I don’t know that it was assigning that info to a variable, but getting rid of it and changing the call to get_bloginfo made all the difference in the world.

SO, Problem #1 is solved.

As for Problem #2, I’d like to try what Beel suggests, but I am not sure where to put that code. My stylesheet never defines ‘linkcat’, and in the sidebar, there’s no <li tag anywhere. The relevant code that produces the big text is this:
\\

<img src=”https://nycnosh.com/wp-content/themes/wpstyle/images/nycnoshlogo.jpg”&gt;
<?php wp_list_pages(); ?>
<?php get_links_list(); ?>
<li size=1 id=”categories”><?php _e(‘Categories:’); ?>

<?php wp_list_cats(); ?>

\\

Thank you so much– with all of your help, I’ve managed to fix about 90% of the theme so that it works beautifully.

I’m still having two strange problems that I can’t figure out. If you go to https://nycnosh.com, you’ll see what I mean:
(1) that funny URL remains in the white space there at the top of the page, driving me absolutely crazy. There used to also be a link there to the site itself, but I managed to remove that. I can’t for the life of me figure out where that black text is coming from.

(2) I can’t seem to resize the ‘Great Food Sites’ link category text. Again, the specs on the size there seem to be hidden away somewhere. The CSS specifications for that text are lumped in with the ‘p’ and ‘h1’ styles, but I can’t find any reference to bolding the link category while the main body text in the postings seems to be unbolded. I have no idea why they’re bold.

Thanks again so much!

Yep. This solves part of the problem, but the link gives info on upgrading the template. The style doesn’t come with an index.php file (or any other php files, for that matter)… .

Sorry if I’m being dense here, but I’m really new to WP and would prefer to use it over the other blogging software I’ve been using for the past 4 years.

Thanks!

Ah, this might be the issue. It’s ‘one-road’. I believe it’s a style, now that I really look at it. Is it going to be impossible for me to use it?
