Thank you so much for checking in David. Strangely, I did not see your previous reply in my email. Anyway, yes, I did manage to insert a sidebar on my homepage. Thank you!

Tonight, I posted a question about inserting ‘More’ into a page. I don’t know if you have seen it. I have tried to do it but nothing happens on the published page!

Many thanks in advance again.

OK, I will. Thanks for the tip Esmi!

Thank you very much Esmi. That is definitely what I was looking for.

Thanks Esmi, but is that a link you sent me? If not, where can I find the page you refer to?

Many thanks.

I am marking this as resolved.
All good wishes to you.

YES!!! It worked!!!
Thank you SO much!
If only there were more people like you on this earth!

Thank you SO much bob.passaro! I will try what you recommend, knowing that it will work only until the next update.

However, I have also forwarded the link to our conversation to my dear philosopher friend, so that he knows what to do from his own computer.

It has been a real pleasure chatting with you — you have been so kind and helpful. Thank you again so much!

Thank you for your encouragement!
Actually, I should make things clear right now: I am not the distinguished philosopher Mark Dooley, but only a good friend of his helping him with his website. I am also in another country, so cannot have access to his computer. Is there anything I can do from a distance?
Thank you again so much for your help — truly grateful.

Thank you bob.passaro. Actually, I am helping a friend with his website. That is why I only have access to the admin area of WordPress.

But yes, I know where the Editor is in the Appearance menu. Can I do anything from there by any chance?

Thank you so much bob.passaro for all your help! I am truly grateful.

I am about to create that Child Theme. But where, from my Dashboard, do I go to find the Themes Directory to create those new files?

OK, will do, but I am surprised: I have only just set up this website!
Thanks esmi.

Thank you very much. Of course, you are right about updates, and that is indeed a concern.

How difficult is it to create a child theme? Can a beginner like myself do it? Would I have to do my own site over again?

Thanks! So what I do is go into contents.php, look for the lines above, delete them and paste these? Is that correct?

Thank you very much bob.passaro, but I don’t know anything about coding and I am scared to do what you propose.

Basically, what I want to do is to remove that orange clock and ‘uncategorized’ from both posts I have on the Homepage. Just for the page to look tidier.

I was hoping there would be a box to untick, or a plugin to do that. Isn’t there?

Yes I am. Thanks Bob Passaro.
