Not a problem Yestyle, looking good. Keep it up. ??

I’m glad that I could help. Good luck! ??

Hey Void,

I hope all is well. In order to target the whitespace around the main block on the top and bottom, you have to declare rules for #featured. For example….

#featured {
  margin-bottom: 5px;
  margin-top: -5px;
}

You can change theses values according to your liking. I hope this helps. ??

Hey Catwingz,

You summoned me, so here I am lol ??

Try this:

#site-title a {
  display: none;
}

Important: Just copy and paste this code into the bottom of your Custom CSS or Child Theme style.css so that you won’t lose your changes once you update your theme in the future. A Child Theme is the safest and best way to go when doing all kinds of modifications.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

I am suggesting a child theme in order to get a WordPress theme to look just like your HTML website that you have now. Doing an actual conversion is a lot more work.

You could first pick a free theme in the wordpress directory that has a similar layout as your current site. After installing the theme, create and activate a child theme for it. Here is how to do it: Child Themes

After you activate your child theme, change the settings in the theme to get your site as close to the design that you want. Lastly, you can add custom CSS to your child theme to get the EXACT results that you are looking for. You can learn HTML and CSS for free over at codeacademy.com. ??

Hey Jamil,

Yeah you can’t make a child if you don’t have the parent. ??

Make sure that the parent theme is installed in your wordpress setup. For instance, If I am creating a child theme for the Virtue theme, I would have to have Virtue installed and the Child theme installed. In order to activate the child theme, the parent has to be there.

Hope this helps

Not a problem! ??

Theme Settings: Meaning the setting related to your theme only. Some themes have a special menu in the dashboard that make changes to that particular theme.

When you switch to a child theme for it, it will reset those settings and you will have to redo them and also apply your custom menu to that child theme so it knows to use it

Hope this helps

You did everything correct, but wordpress looks at a child theme as a brand new theme, so you will have to redo your settings.

If putting your settings back is too much work,

An alternative would be to add code via plugin. Here is a Quick Tutorial on how to do that.

This way you won’t lose your settings. Just activate the original theme first do it this way. Although a child theme is the best way to go

YES, ALL “lowercase” ??

Hey Erik,

Just add this code into the plugin that I suggested:

.home #secondary {
  display: none;
}

Hope this helps!

Hmmm, that is very interesting. I am reading into your websites code and finding that it is only reading from the default bootstrap.css file.

Yes, you can view how to create a child theme here: Child Theme

An alternative would be to add code via plugin. Here is a Quick Tutorial that I have create for you on how to do that.

After that the code should work no problem ??

Cheers!

Hey,

Just add this code to your custom CSS and it will take care of it for you.

.title_holder_2 {
  display: none;
}

No, not exactly did you install a child theme for you website, or are you using a custom CSS plugin?
