Thanks! I finally got back to working on this project.

Your CSS successfully moved the meta data where I wanted it, but then the “post author” identifier was on top of the time/date info. After some poking around I replaced this ternary operator

( $comment->user_id === $post->post_author ) ? '<span> ' . __( 'Post author', 'twentytwelve' ) . '</span>' : ' '

with just the third expression

' '

in the function twentytwelve_comment( $comment, $args, $depth )

Unchecking the nesting options in the discussion settings got rid of the ‘reply.’

There is an option not to show author avatars in twenty-twelve, but it doesn’t seem to get rid of the space where the avatar would go.

Thanks for being awesome, paulwpxp.

Thanks paulwpxp, that’s exactly right. I found a workaround:

a:not(img) a:hover{ ...
}

to define the box around text and

a:hover img{ ...
}

to put the box around the image. What’s odd is that the box created by a:hover is the right width for the image but not the right height.

Found the fix through stackoverflow here: nerd in progress

Thanks — I am using a child theme. What I don’t understand is why the second CSS that applies to img doesn’t override the first that applies to all a:hover. . It comes later in the file and it’s more specific, right?

In the end I did a complete reinstall and still got the error. I contacted my hosting provider and they seem to have fixed it. I’m very relieved….thanks again.

Thanks! My hosting co won’t let me increase the memory. Have already tried getting rid of child theme, deleting .htaccess, manually turning off plugins and reinstalling WP core files. Right now I’m trying remain calm while I wait for their support lines to open back up.

Okay, that was an old error in the log. The real error log was giving lots of out of memory errors. The best advice I’ve found for dealing with the problem is here: WPbeginner: how to fix the internal server error . It didn’t resolve my problem but it gave me a structured way to approach it. Waiting for a response from my hosting service now.

Hi Wypogi,

I started with your idea for changing the background color on a page template but found that the custom-background part was somehow overriding my child theme css. Here’s what I ended up with:

body.custom-background.page-template-quiz3-page-php{
	background-color: green;
}

which works. But this doesn’t:

body.page-template-quiz3-page-php{
	background-color: green;
}

I’m working offline so I can’t link to the site. I’m wondering if there’s a way to turn the custom stuff off. I don’t have Jetpack installed, I’m talking about the customization that comes with the theme automatically.

Thanks!

Tried that. Didn’t work. Hrrm.

I can’t figure out which additional source files need to be removed, or where they are. WP removes the folder marked “debut.”

Thanks.
