  • There are several pages using the custom template

    Hi @lesliestaas,

    The template you created is problematic because it’s causing serious errors.

    The page doesn’t contain a head, body, or any of the unique page classes WordPress adds.

    I don’t think it’s possible to add css to that page because it doesn’t appear to use the standard wp_head action WordPress needs to inline css via the customizer, or to load a style.css file

    ****

    A better option would be to remove the custom template you added, then use standard WordPress pages instead. You can then use css to hide the menu on certain pages.

    Ugh, so frustrating. I created the custom template because he wanted to hide everything (menus, headers, etc.) on those 4 pages and I could not find css to do that. I found the directions online.
    He also wanted to be sure the pictures on those pages showed up full size which they weren’t doing on a regular wordpress page.
    It worked okay until he decided he wanted one of those pages to have a black background.
    They could all 4 have black backgrounds at this point, but I have to make sure the images show as they are now. Very “particular” client ??
    Any further thoughts? Is there css to do what I want on just those 4 pages if I’m using the standard wordpress pages?
    Thank you so much.

    @gary-barrett, maybe @lesliestaas has modified the template and that’s why the index.php file is not receiving anything from the header.

    @lesliestaas, as @gary-barrett said you can remove this custom template and use a standard WordPress theme/page. But, if you are comfortable with coding in HTML and PHP you can also add this:

    <html>
<head>
<title>https://rtrmoto.com</title>
</head>
<body>

<!--this is what you already have-->
<div id="content">
 <!--ALL THE OTHER CODES-->
</div>
<!--this is what you already have-->

</body>
</html>

    before the_content(); function which loads all the site contents under <div id="content">.

    But, as i said do this only if you are really comfortable working with HTML and PHP, otherwise you can just use an already existing WordPress theme which will have all the necessary features as @gary-barrett suggested.

    Thanks!

    Thank you, not that comfortable at all which is why I’m asking for help.
    Unfortunately, the WordPress theme does not seem to allow for what I want to do.

    Let’s use this “shocks” page as an example:

    https://rtrmoto.com/shocks/

    Please temporarily add the css below to your site via the customizer in Appearance > Customize > Additional css.

    .page-id-37 #site-navigation,
.page-id-37 #secondary,
.page-id-37 .main-footer,
.page-id-37 #colophon,
.page-id-37 #secondary-head {
    display: none;
}

.page-id-37.boxed, .page-id-37 .container {
    width: 100% !important;
    background-image: none;
}

    Once that css is added, it should remove several parts of the standard page. The end result should look like this screenshot:

    Screenshot rtrmoto com 2017 04 15 14 01 00

    If it doesn’t look like that, please let me know.

    The .page-id-37 parts in the css above means that the css will only target the page with that id. Every page in WordPress has a unique id. You can use this plugin to find them:

    If you want that example css to apply to a different page instead of the shocks page:

    1. Use standard WordPress pages that don’t use your custom template
    2. Replace the references to 37in the css above with the page id of the page you want to target instead
