Thanks – I’ve brightened things up. Now stuck on losing that header image. I’ve got a gif I’m trying to put in there, but I can’t seem to get it working (after searching archives and following instructions on various CSS help sites).

I’m having trouble with my site (decided to make it a bit more “reader-friendly”). I’d like to add a header, but I’m stuck. I’ve been following the instructions on various CSS help sites, but something seems to be overriding any changes I make.

Here’s what I’ve got for header styles:

#header {
margin: 0;
padding: 10px;
height: 50px;
text-align: center;
}

html>body #header {
right: 20px;
}

#header h1 {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
font-size: 150%;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: 0.3em;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

#header p {
margin: 0;
color: #000000;
font-size: 0.9em;
}

#header a {
color: #ACC8E2;
text-decoration: none;
border: none;
}

#header a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}

Is there something I should change on the index page? I’m trying to link to a gif (https://www.biglittleg.com/blog/wp-images/bitsandbytes.gif) if that helps.

Thanks.

Thanks – I’ve been thinking of fiddling with the background. Agreed dark themes have a tendency to wear your eyes out faster.

Very nice work. Inspiring me to add some theme variation to my blog (https://www.biglittleg.com/blog – you can trace out my slow ascent of the WP learning curve there as well).

Greetings from a fellow Canadian (no longer there, though).

Got it sorted. Seems the cache didn’t exist. Made one and it’s working like a charm.

Okay – I tried asking this question in another thread. This seems more appropriate. I’ve been trying to load Weather onto my site. Here’s the error code I’m getting:
Warning: fopen(/biglittleg.com/guymauve/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/weather_cache/metar_cache_EDDB.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.callaway/guymauve/biglittleg.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/weather.php on line 313

This is how I plugged in the code: $icon_location = ‘https://biglittleg.com/blog/wp-content/wicons/’;
$cache_path = ‘/biglittleg.com/guymauve/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/weather_cache’;

Not sure what that .callaway reference is to above. I’m getting the weather, but no icons. Any help appreciated.

Hi there,

I too am a newbie and I’m trying to get the weather icon up. I’m a bit lost at this error code:

Warning: fopen(/home/guymauve/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/weather_cache/metar_cache_KLUF.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.callaway/guymauve/biglittleg.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/weather.php on link

Conditions Debug

I think the problem is when I’m entering data here: :$cache_path = ‘/home/guymauve/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/weather_cache’; // absolute path & no trailing slashes | make sure you set write access to this folder.

Also, I’m not getting any icons to show up.

I’m new at the coding thing, so I’m obliged for any help.

Thanks.

Andrea,
I’m having the same problem. I’m a newbie and I’m not sure what I’ve done. Have a look: https://www.biglittleg.com. When I click on .htaccess to plug in your code suggestion, it tells me that no such file exists.
Help.
Thanks.
