That link goes to a file not found error. Can you post a link to your site?

Can you post a link so we can take a look to see what’s happening?

Most of the styles will be in style.css, or in other CSS files included with the theme. I use Firebug, which is an add-on for Firefox to identify the HTML elements whose styles you want to change, and then add the new styles to your style files.

Hope that helps!

Add this to your style.css or your custom CSS depending on which you have available:
.post-info, .post-meta{display:none;}

Hope that helps!

You can add a basic image tag to do this. You may want to add a class to the image or wrap it in a div tag to give you better control over its positioning.

Hope that helps!

It really would depend on the theme you’re using… The excerpt page as you call it is likely the archive.php file, but it could be something like category.php, archive.php or tag.php if the file exists. Look for instances of <?php the_excerpt(); ?> in your files and that should help.

Are you setting a featured image for your posts? The default thumbnail usually kicks in when there isn’t a featured image…

Try adding this to your style.css or in a custom CSS option, if the theme provides for it:

#content {
    float: right;
}

Hope that helps!

Do you have a URL so we can see the issue?

Your container is 940px, but the grid_8 and the grid_4 combined need 960px. If you change the container width to 960px, everything falls into place for me…

Hope that helps!

The display:block; in your style is causing the line breaks – display:block means it takes up the whole width of the containing element.

If I change this to display:inline; in Firebug, it lines them up how you want them. To center them in the paragraph, you’d need to make that paragraph text-align:center;. What I do is create a class called ‘centered’ with just this style on it, and then assign this class every time I want something centered.

Hope that helps!

*sigh* I cannot make this work… I downloaded a plugin – Simple PayPal Shopping Cart Plugin – and that’s when everything went to heck.

So I deleted all the WordPress installations (there were two in localhost), and redownloaded and reinstalled WordPress again.

But now I can’t get to any page other than localhost/wordpress (though, I can get to wp-admin)

(And I’m actually using WinLAMP, not XAMPP. Sorry. ?? )

This is what I have:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

how can i tell if .htaccess is being generated? It’s in the folder, but that’s the extent of my knowledge. ??

I’m having the same issue. It’s a brand new install… I deleted all other WordPress installations and folders, and I’m installing into LocalHost using XAMPP.

The very first thing I do is set my permalinks, and yet, the only page I get to is the homepage. If I click on any post or page, I get:
Not Found

The requested URL /wordpress/2009/03/13/hello-world/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.58 (Win32) PHP/5.1.4 Server at localhost Port 80

I’m a little stumped.

Thanks!
