Beginner's problems

  • I have just installed WP for the first time,and some problems have come up.
    The site is a more or less static site, not a blog. I have disabled comments and set up some pages. Just above the header on all pages, I get the word “Post”. I don’t understand why, as these are pages, not blog pages. I have searched and searched for a way to remove this word, without success. I guess that there is a very simple solution to this problem, but I don’t seem to get it. Help, please?

    Another thing. I have some fairly long menu items. I would like to split then into two lines. I tried to put a BR-tag in the menu item, but WP apparently does not allow this. The tag is being deleted when updating. Is the another way to do this?

    Thanks

  • You can get rid of the page titles by using this CSS:

    .art-postheader {
   display: none;
}

    As for the menu, you’ll need to ask Artisteer for help – as their themes are not supported here.

    Hi WPyogi

    I am aware of the “display:none” solution. It just seems a bit stupid to solve this by simply hiding the header. I guess that it isn’t Artisteer that add “Post”, but rather WP. It seems a bit strange to me that you cannot remove it in a more appropriate way.

    A bit same with the menu. It isn’t Artisteer that removes html tags in the menu, it is WP. I have created a few Joomla sites with 2 lines in the menu, so it has hardly anything to do with Artisteer.

    To get rid of the “Post” word the right way, you need ot edit the template file(s) that have that in it. This can take a fair bit of investigation depending on your theme, but that’s the correct way to do it so that it’s really gone and not just hidden. Oh, and remember to do that in a child theme!!! That way your changes won’t be over-written by any future theme updates.

    As for the menus, WordPress doesn’t strip HTML tags by default. I have just tried that on one of my development sites and the <br /> tag shows and works exactly as expected. I’d guess that there’s something in your theme that’s removing the tags, either as a filter or a custom walker that builds the menu.
