need template modification help

  • Hi everyone!

    Newbie to php/css programming so I’m still learning the basics. Here’s what I’m doing. I’m using the Default template and editted the index file and told it not to get the header or sidebar. I run code in a HTML object on my HTML page to display the blog. That’s working fine believe it or not. Main things I need to do right now is to change the font size and style for the title of any post. Can’t seem to make changes thru dashboard on anything that has a font-size attached to it. I also would like to make the title of the post not to be a permalink, if that’s possible. I suspect that could be part of the reason I can’t change the font size of the title. Anyway, any quick help would be highly appreciated. I’ll catch on to php and css pretty quick and get to learning all the rest of WordPress. Just need to get this website up and running properly ASAP. Thanks

  • how are you linking the style.css of the theme into your html page?

    normally the style sheet is linked in header.php of the theme.

    to not have the title as a link, you have to edit index.php of the theme, and remove the html link part from the title code, just leaving the code below:

    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

    that might already give you control of the title size; line 110 in style.css seems to define the font-size for h2.

    I appreciate your assistance. Making the change on the link attribute took care of the first part of the business. Had to load the header and then had some control over the font size for the post title which is indeed an h2. I still want to remove that graphic for the header and just display the actual posts so would I edit the header.php to get rid of that. Starting to get the hang of this but still have a ways to go. I really really mean it when I says thanks for the help! If anybody wants to play “online tutor”, lemme know!
