allover

Hey Dgold. Thanks for putting it into more perspective. Yes, I am just delving in and learing as I go, and to be honest with you in just a week I have learned tons!!! It is actually quite fun. Although I doesn’t sound like I know anything in here, I feel like I do. It’s just that all the terminology is confusing.

I have blogtest that I’ve been playing around with, just using the Theme Editor in one window and then hitting the “View Site” link to see what changes took affect. It has been quite time consuming and frustrating as you an imagine. But, now I know what Moshu was talking about earlier as far as NotePad++. I am definitle going to check that out.

I’ve been playing aroun with the style.css file for a whole week now, learning what changes effect what bit by bit. So I think I will get there.

Hey thanks a lot for speaking in lamens terms. ??

Oh, yes, I make backups everytime I find out something new.

That is you. People do things differently. ??

Anyway, I really appreciate your help! I will read over the tutorials some more and figure it out eventually.

Thanks again. ??

We all have to start somwhere. There was a point when you also knew nothing about HTML. ??

Thanks.

Gosh, this is so confusing. It would help if I knew html also. But I hardly do, and I am just learning everything as I go. When I open a php file it just looks like a bunch of gibberish to me. I’m not sure what to change.

So, when I change it, I save it as an html file to see the results???

LOL. Do you have MSN Messenger?????????

Hmm, Yes I am a newbie to all of this. So all of my questions seem really easy to you I’m sure. ?? Well, I am using the Theme Editor because I want to make changes to my template. That’s what it’s for right?

I don’t know how to edit in NotePad. How do I get the source code into it, and what are the code highlighting and goodies you are talking about.

I really appreciate your help. ??

I still have to use FTP even if my blog is setup locally on my pc? Hackers???

There are other sections like “footer” “header” and “sidebar” etc. i theme editor, that’s what I was talking about.

I guess I just don’t know how to edit in Notepad. I will check out your link. Thank you.

Yes, I do have a local/testblog setup. So, it sounds like I should uses something like Notepad and just copy and paste my changes into the Theme Editor and that will work?

I’ve been using the Theme Editor but only mainly in the “Style.css” section. What are those other categories for?

Thank you.

In the Admin Panel, I looked at Users and the role of my username is set at Administrator.

I’ll give you my username and password so you can see what I’m talking about. I don’t mind to because this is just a “test” setup for when I actually publish my site through my Web Host. So I don’t care if anyone knows my login info.

Well, that is the strange thing. I’ll get the admin usernamea and password, but then when I go to login It, it comes back saying the username is wrong. How do I register as admin???

Hey Podz. Yes I have, done all that. I just can’t figure it out. I have not tried a different browser though. Anymore suggestions??? Thanks dude!

I have deleted all WordPress files and went to https://localhost/xampp/splash.php->phpMyAdmin and deleted the database by checking all the wp files and dropping them, and then redownloaded WP, unzipped it ant went through the set up. I keep getting a different username and password. But once I logg out it still reverts to my original one! It is driving me crazy.

What am I doing wrong???

Hey SAMBOLL!!!! That worked! Sorry for such an obvious question. I am so new to WordPress and websites in general. So I’m learning new things every second. I didn’t even think to look in the “Footer” section in Theme Editor.

Thanks again man! Now, off to another hill. =)

No, I have not tried that… I’m assuming that I don’t edit that in Theme Editor but the actual file???

Thanks, what a quick response. This forum is great. ??

Hi Charlie… haha! That did it. Thank you so much. :=)

Hi Charlie. I am not logging in as admin. Hmmm.
