Through CSS we can suggest how to hide specific elements, though it does not actually remove the elements. To actually remove elements or to recover previously removed elements, we need access to the underlying code. As the theme appears to be custom written for the site, there’s little we can do to help you since directly accessing the site is beyond the scope of these forums.
I suggest you continue trying to reach your coding friend, as he is in a much better place to help you with admin access. If the site owner’s needs exceed you and your friend’s skills, she should consider hiring experienced help. One resource is jobs.wordpress.net.
FYI, if the site owner cannot locate the FTP credentials, she can recover or recreate them through her hosting control panel. The host’s customer service can assist with this if need be. No one should attempt editing active PHP files through the WP interface unless they have FTP access as backup. One small error can crash the site and only FTP can fix it.
]]>You can typically hide things by identifying the proper element using the browser’s developer tools and adding or changing the ‘display’ rule to display: none;
. Once you’ve determined the proper CSS, copy it to where ever the theme accepts custom CSS. Often this is in the customizer, but with a custom theme, who knows? If you cannot locate such a place, there are plugins that allow custom CSS to be easily input. Being a custom theme, you can also alter the original CSS code if you prefer. FYI, doing so with original code is usually a bad idea because themes are often updated, destroying any custom work. Custom themes are normally not updated in the same manner.
You can shift the main logo by altering CSS in the developer tools until it looks good, then copy the new or altered CSS to the custom CSS area.
If altering the existing CSS does not effect change, either you’ve altered the wrong item or in the wrong file, or there is some sort of caching scheme in effect. If things are cached, you’ll need to flush the cache to see any changes. For good measure, flush your browser cache as well.
