How do you get rid of the border?

You will have to edit your css file. There are three things that need to be changed (see below). Change the “dashed” to “solid” for a solid line and the #CCCCCC to #000000 for black, or remove those lines to remove the border.

td#left {
background:#000000 none repeat scroll 0 0;
border-right:1px dashed #CCCCCC;
padding:10px;
vertical-align:top;
}

td#right {
background:#000000 none repeat scroll 0 0;
border-left:1px dashed #CCCCCC;
padding:10px;
vertical-align:top;
}

div.horbar2 {
background:#991B1E none repeat scroll 0 0;
border-bottom:1px dashed #CCCCCC;
height:5px;
}

Hello!

If I like the border down the sides of my journal with this atahualpa theme..

(www.candacejean.com/journal)

..but I want to get rid of the border that wraps the header (home/about) and the border that sits horizontally along the bottom above the footer, what code do I edit to change just those (but leave the vertical side borders)? I’ve already changed every other border to white that I didn’t want to keep, but I can’t find those last two (above header and at footer).

THANKS SO MUCH for the help!

Try editing header.php and deleting ‘border:1px dashed #CCCCCC;` in:

ul.rMenu {
background:#FFFFFF;
border:1px dashed #CCCCCC;
}

ul.rMenu li a {
border:1px dashed #CCCCCC;
}

and border-top:1px dashed #CCCCCC; from:

td#footer {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border-top:1px dashed #CCCCCC;
color:#777777;
font-size:95%;
padding:10px;
text-align:center;
width:auto;
}

but I want to get rid of the border that wraps the header (home/about)

Dashboard > Atahualpa Options > Header Area > Page Menu Bar >

Border around all menu items

dashed 1px #cccccc

That’s the dashed nav border.

the border that sits horizontally along the bottom above the footer

Dashboard > Atahualpa Options > Footer > Style & edit FOOTER > Footer Style > Style the footer box and the text inside.

background-color: #ffffff;
border-top: dashed 1px #cccccc;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
color: #777777;
font-size: 95%;

That’s the dashed border on the top of the footer.

Almost a photo finish! ??

I think your answer was far better. I really don’t know much about Atahualpa as I avoid it like the plague. All those layout tables… ??

THANK YOU ClaytonJames! I don’t know why I didn’t see it before, but I “followed your carrots” and discovered where to edit the footer border. Finished! ??

Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have the same sort of option in my header menu, or even under the ‘header image’ menu. That page nav bar thing just isn’t in there. (??)

And esmi, THANK YOU as well! I went to the php but am discovering the language to be like this:

ul#rmenu
{
background: #<?php echo $bfa_ata_cat_menu_bar_background_color; ?>;
border: <?php echo $bfa_ata_anchor_border_cat_menu_bar; ?>;
}
ul.rMenu li a
{
border: <?php echo $bfa_ata_anchor_border_page_menu_bar; ?>;
}
ul#rmenu li a
{
border: <?php echo $bfa_ata_anchor_border_cat_menu_bar; ?>;

..which I don’t know what that stuff means. I can’t pick out the color code to edit that dashed border waaaay at the top that shows my page navigation.. “home | about”.

Any more ideas?

Much obliged!

One thing I’ve found with the Atahualpa theme is that it has an amazing (almost overwhelming) amount of custom options settings available without every having to leave the dashboard. I can’t say if that’s good or bad, but I sure have had a lot of fun with it.

OH MY GOSH! NEVERMIND!

Thanks again ClaytonJames, I found it! All fixed up!

You guys are wonderful. I can’t stand it when people post comments in here that sound mean and impatient, like they are too annoyed to offer a kindly-typed suggestion.

Thanks again!

@candacejean

I should have mentioned, I’m using the latest version of the theme – Atahualpa 3.4.4

That page nav bar thing just isn’t in there. (??)

I think you are still using version 3.2, so it may be possible that the options pages could be slightly different, but I think it should still be in the same general area for editing. I remember altering that same border from the options pages in earlier versions of the theme. It should be around the header section and probably labeled “Page Bar, or Page bar Menu”. Something of the sort.

Glad it worked!

ClaytonJames.. I hope you are around this weekend.. I need you..

I updated to Atahualpa 3.4.4. Almost everything was re-set to the Atahualpa theme and didn’t save most of my edits that I spent all day yesterday working on.

I’ve had my wordpress for a couple years, but I haven’t made time to figure out this php language and editing themes and whatnot. I am as new to this as they come; greenest of greenhorns.

While my font styles were left in the design option boxes (as times, serif, centered, etc), my journal is reflecting Atahualpa design instead. Do I need to reset the theme and start over?

And where do wordpress themes pull their images from? I was on a PC yesterday, and uploaded my own headers and logo to an FTP. Everything looked great in IE. Now I’m on a mac, and in Firefox and Safari (and after my update), I’m seeing Atahualpa design. If I ever want to change any images in a WordPress theme, do I need to go to an FTP to delete images and re-upload my own? Once a theme is automatically updated like I did this morning, where does it draw the images from? I mean.. where are the images stored? I don’t understand that part of the language. I need to know where to keep mine. I don’t want my theme re-set to default design each time there is an update.. is that just what happens??

I appreciate everyone’s constant help/support while I figure this stuff out.

..My maximum width was re-set to Atahualpa default, even though my typed width is still in the box under design options.. my header size was re-set though what I set it to be is still typed there.. everything went back to Atahualpa despite the fact that my edits are still showing up in all of the options boxes.

Normal? Do I re-set the theme and start over? Ugh.
