editing / customizing theme

  • I have a question regarding customizing a blog. I managed to install wordpress in my hosting account so now the wordpress blog is a part of my website. my question is how do I edit the html to add navigation buttons on the blog just so it looks like it is actually a part of my website? so basically I want people to able to navigate to the home page, contact page etc so I need put the navigation buttons somehow on the blog.

    the website is: https://www.onurkurtic.com
    the blog is: https://www.onurkurtic.com/blog

    so basically I want to put those navigation buttons at the top of the website into the blog as well

    thanks a lot!

  • Try setting up a custom menu and use the Custom Url functionality to add the extra links that point to your main site.

    can I do anything by editing the CSS file or something? keep in mind I have no knowledge of PHP. so anything I do would have to be code free or in HTML or something..

    No – you cannot add a link to a menu using CSS. The method I suggested doesn’t actually require you to add any code, CSS or HTML. Your only other alternative would be to hardcode the menu in your blog.

    the themes only support 1 menu option so I cant create multiple menus linking to different pages of my website which is a major problem

    I’m sorry, but unfortunately, you cannot take on this level of development/customization without being willing to learn the basic code languages required, including PHP, since that is the language used for WordPress, and for WordPress Themes.

    ok I think I will be able to explain myself better with pictures.

    so this is what the website looks like:
    https://www.freeimagehosting.net/gciir

    and this is what the theme I picked out (Acid Rain) looks like:
    https://www.freeimagehosting.net/xiqko

    and all I want to do is make it look something like this:
    https://www.freeimagehosting.net/52pbw

    I dont even care about changing the entire layout or design, I just need my navigation buttons thats all.

    any help?

    and I would be willing to get into the coding if that’s what it takes. I am just not sure what the difficulty level of something like this is. if it is something that a beginner can deal with, then for sure I will try!
