    Hi oh almighty smart folks..

    Can anyone help me out with this stuff?

    How do I access the HTML of my site? Where do I go to make changes? Is that with my “host – Bluehost” or do I do that through my wordpress dashboard?

    Here is my issue – On my front page you can see the tabs – The 365 effect, Blog, About, coaching, Extras, Contact.

    I want to remove the text that appears in the tab boxes. It repeats at the top of every page except my blog page.

    Meaning…. When you click on The 365 Effect page it directs to that page but the first words you see below the tabs are The 365 Effect. I want to remove those words but can’t for the life of me figure out how or where to do this?

    HELP.

    Very new to WP and have zero experience in coding, php, ect.

    If someone can help out that would be great. I know its a simple change that I want to do but I can’t even find where to start.

    Thanks in advance.

    haha.. thanks andrew… I am on the plugin page… trying to figure out if this works.

    Where do I go to access the Html etc? I got into the Bluehost cpanel and once I started getting into FTP sites, cyberducks, etc I started getting lost…

    You can’t really access the HTML because it’s tied down in PHP.
    What HTML specifically are you looking for?

    I want to be able to remove and change specific aspects of my site layout. I did download that plugin and have activated it but can’t find out how to use it? Where does it show up in the wpress dashboard?

    If you’re using a theme, you’ll want to avoid editing the theme’s files.

    Modifications can still be made, but made through a Child Theme. Basically you copy the file you want and paste it into your Child Theme directory and then you can modify it.

    I can’t find any instructions for it after you install it, perhaps it magically works automatically. Are your tab titles now hidden?

    Me thinks I’m going to have to sit down with someone…

    I downloaded the child theme Zip from the Blaskan creator but don’t know how to activate it.

    Nope.. the titles are still there.

    If you manage to get your Child Theme working, or have a section to handle CSS modifications, try this CSS to hide the titles;

    article header h1 {
     text-indent: -9999em;
     height: 0;
     margin: 0;
     padding: 0;
    }

    arggg..

    When I go into dashboard – Appearance – Editor
    I can’t see the child theme in the upper right drop down box.

    how do I add this – in order to get the child theme active. Appreciate you helping with these basic question… Karma will come back some how..

    Are you on step 2 out of 8?

    (@ravenwolfab)

    Nope… I don’t even know where to go for step 1?

    What have you done so far?

    Step 1 can only ensue if you have access to your website’s directories through FTP. Only then can you create a new directory.

    Your hosts should be able to assist with this.
