Probably simple questions from a newcomer

    Hi– I put together a site for first time, It’s: https://metaphorlanguage.com/

    1. The text and pictures I’ve put on my pages start about 2 inches lower than they should– It appeart to me that the actual page title is in that blank space, but is transparent. Any guidance on how to get rid of that dead space or at least make it visible, without losing the navigation I’ve built on the right?

    2. Is there a way to have more email addresses at the site than just the admin one ? (now, I just direct the admin mail to my gmail account)

    3. Can you tell me how to get rid of this gorp on the bottom of the pages?:
    “Metaphor Language is proudly powered by WordPress
    Entries (RSS) and Comments (RSS).”
    (from reading an earlier post, I understand that this isn’t possible, but thought I’d ask just in case or change…)

  • 1. Log into WordPress and go to your sidebar on the left. Click Appearance | Editor

    Once that page loads, on the right you’ll see a list of files. Click on the page.php file.

    In that file, look somewhere near the top for the values <h1> and </h1> and change the h1 to h2 values.

    That should fix your problem. You may need to do this for the single.php file as well (the page.php is for pages you create, single.php is for your posts).

    2. You could probably set up an automatic forwarding system with your email, apart from WordPress. To do it through WP, you’d need a plugin, like the Subscribe2 plugin. I believe you can go into the plugin’s settings and manually add email addresses for notifications.

    3. You can find that info in the footer.php file (get to it the same way you did in #1). You should see that code in there somewhere, just delete the words.

    I want to stress that before you edit any of your files, first always back them up. Copy and paste all the file’s code into a Word processor. If things go wrong, you can always past it back and save the file.

    Thank you WPBlogHost!!! Header and footer changes work just as you said. I haven’t tried the email address item yet.

    Before I close the post, is there a way to have no header on the page or a way to make it transparent?
