use an

background color: rgba( 00, 00, 00, 0.1);


the first three numbers are your red/green/blue indexes, the fourth number is the opacity. 0 being transparent and 1 being most opaque.

I would say:
Give the image a class, target it in your stylesheet.
Then make the width of the image 100%.
You may want to center it also.
Example:

img.your_class {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}

note: make sure there are no containing elements that will restrict the image from stretching across the browser window.

Also to work with actual content on the home page will make the site more easily indexed by search engines, via the search engines actually being able to read the content and your keywords.
You could use the image as a background and place the text divs that could be positioned using javascript or css. Just a suggestion.

Hope this helps!

I am currently working on this, if you have not found a solution yet. I will have one soon.

That Worked Thanks so much!

There has to be something stupid I’m doing/overlooking that are causing the errors to be hidden.

I’m just not sure what it could be.

The plugins that are being debugged are using deprecated functions.

Ive used WP_DEBUG in the past and it has worked fine, displaying all errors and deprecated functions at the top of every screen.

Now when I set it to true nothing happens.

Hey thanks that worked perfectly.

Hi UBoMW,

They do updates for TwentyTen so plugins won’t break your site, but there is no further functionality being added to previous default WP themes. I would suggest moving to a newer WP theme like TwentyTwelve.

let me know if you need help or have more questions.

Hey there,

• You are going to want to copy the code from the original header.php into your child theme’s header.php
• Then change the width of #page 100%
• Now change #main .wrapper width to the original width or the width you want so it keeps your content contained and doesn’t make it have a 100% width as well.
• Set the margin of #main .wrapper to 0 auto to center the content.
• now target your #masthead or the header element and set width to 100%
• You may have to mess with centering the menu or placing menu items where you want but the header and navigation should be fluid
• Note: pay attention to your nested elements. This can make this things confusing in twenty twelve due to the fact that everything on the page is contained in #page

I hope this helps please ask if you have any more questions or if this didn’t work for you.

Regards,
Andy

Also adding !important after the value of the style will help overwrite default styles or styles that are overwriting your styles.

example:

div {
display: inline-block !important;
}

Hi Teadocents,

You will have to create a custom menu which is super easy.

In your dashboard:

Go to Appearances > Menus. Click the plus sign (+) tab at the top of the section where your menu items are listed. Create a menu name and then add all of the pages into the menu you would like to have displayed.

then on the left side of the menu page there will be a drop down menu where you can choose your main menu, select the menu name you created and hit save.

Let me know if this helps!

Regards,
Andy

Hi there,

What child theme plugin are you using?

I use One-Click and it has an easy option to choose your parent theme.

It seems that YOUR child theme is not communicating correctly with the parent theme.

Let me know if One-Click doesn’t work for you. And we can further troubleshoot.

Thanks,
Andy

If you have this issue again you can inspect element and if there is a line through the style that you are having trouble with, chances are it is being overwritten by the parent stylesheet. Just add that !important and it will make that style the “parent” style.

Try This:

#site-title a{
color: #B8ff70 !important;
font-family: Optima !important;
}

.entry-title{
color: #5C0131 !important;
}

This “!important” added after the value of your style should overwrite the styles from black.css. This is confusing because you would think the child theme or Improved Simpler CSS would overwrite the core files but its not always the case.

Hope this helps!

This is correct, but create a child theme or use a CSS plugin. If you are editing the core style.css file, when you update your theme your styles will be overwritten.

If you are not comfortable with CSS the the Google Fonts plugin would be the best bet.

Hope this helps!
