Sorry, I’ve got this solved, I think.

The theme I’m using is already integrated with some NextGen stuff. So, that’s why both were being shown.

I believe what you’re seeing is normal. When I type in the address for the login page of a wordpress site (www.wordpresssite.com/wp-admin), I get a similar string of nonsense after it. However, if you go to the admin logged out page (www.wordpresssite.com/wp-login.php?loggedout=true), it doesn’t add it. I tried it for your site too, and it was the same.

Someone could probably explain why the wp-admin redirects, but I don’t think you’re in any hacking danger.

Hi,

I tried to check your site, but it isn’t loading for me. Maybe something more major is going on with your site.

In the pages section of your dashboard, go to whatever page your blog is on. In the right sidebar there is a section called Page Attributes. If there’s a section in there called Template, you should see a drop down menu under it in which you can select “full width page” (or something to that effect).

If you’re not seeing that option, your theme may not have other page templates to choose from. In which case, you’ll have to widen the main content section of the default template using CSS.

I looked at your website and I don’t see a blank space where a sidebar would be. Is it on a specific page?

The width of the main content area can be widened by modifying the CSS. But it would still be helpful if you provided a link to your site. That way someone can guide you to the right bit of CSS to modify.

If you have access to your phpmyadmin panel, this might be able to help you.

You’ll just have to change the site url to the correct one in phpmyadmin.

Hello,

The text in your menu isn’t actually bold right now. But it is in all caps, which can be changed by removing the text-transform:uppercase; from the .menu a element.

I don’t know if you can center the menu very simply, but you can add margin-left: 23px; and margin-right:-13px; to the .menu li element, and that puts it roughly centered.

The background color can be changed by changing the background-color:#cccccc in the #nav element. For some reason the background color code wasn’t included in your code you posted here, but it is in your CSS.

The position of the menu itself can be raised by changing the 30px in the margin: 30px -15px 0 0; code in the #nav element.

Good luck with everything.

PS – I think you’re required to warn people that there are any questionable images on your site when you link to it.

PPS – When posting code into a post, make sure to highlight the code and then click the “code” button at the top of the comment box. That will put in the code format, otherwise you code will get deleted by administrators.

You don’t want to use CSS to hide a <div>. It’s considered cloaking (or something like that) and can harm your search engine ranking.

A better idea would be to replace your site name with an image and then put your company’s name in the alt tag for the image.

Here’s a tutorial on how to do it:

Awesome, it worked!

I had to delete the child them as well as the original theme. Then, I activated the 2010 theme just to get everything reset. After that, I put the original (non-child) theme back in the themes folder and activated it. Now, everything works just fine. For a while there I thought I was going to have to create a whole new database and directory.

Thank you for your help!

Hey, that worked. Thank you!

I have another question, though. I noticed while reading the style.css for the Twenty Ten theme that it has a one-column format; however, I can only figure out how to apply that format to my static pages. Is there a way to apply that format to my blog as well?

Thanks

Cool. Thank you for the quick response.
