Sorry to bump but I need some help

Please help

My site is https://www.crystalgamer.com

I didn’t mean the sidebar, I already have one. What I meant was how the home page of https://www.paragamer.com is split into 2 columns: Reviews and Previews.

How am I able to do this?

What should I do?

Sorry to bump but I really need help.

Please help
Many thanks

Can anyone help please?

I don’t seem to have a <?php the_content in my index.php file.

What else should I try?

I put the <!–more–> code in the text but it hasn’t done anything when I look at it on my homepage.

Do you know what’s wrong?

In that case I will use header.php and footer.php.

My site is using the same theme as https://www.paragamer and I have looked at the page source but it is hard to tell what code I need and exactly where to put it. I am worried to change anything in case I make a mistake.

Secondly, the post above mentions that I have some errors. I have know idea what they are so perhaps someone could tell me what is wrong.

Also I do not know what the loop is or what it does. I am also not sure exactly where to put it in. I have read about it on the wordpress codex but I am still not entirely sure about it.

Finally, I may consider having some paid assisstance. If anyone is interested please email me at [email protected] and I will possibly make a decision then.

Please help
Many thanks

How can I use this code to move headings anywhere on the page?

I had a look but I am still not sure exactly what codes I need to put where.

I know next to nothing about html and I was wondering if anyone can tell me the exact code I need to put the headings (editorials, reviews etc) spread around the home page like it is done on https://www.paragamer.com

Below is a copy of my index.php file. Perhaps you can show me using this what to do?

I very greatly appreciate any help.
Greatest thanks.

[moderated code at https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1363725 ]

I will have a try to delete them.

However, does anyone know how to move headings around the page like on https://www.paragamer.com

If so, please can you give me the exact coding I need to create the headings and move them around and tell me which php files to edit. I know nothing about html so maybe you could tell me where to put the coding in.

Below is my index.php file. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me what code I need to add the headings.
I would like it to look like https://www.paragamer.com with the similar headings (e.g editorials,reviews) in the same places.

Please help
Greatest thanks

Please Help

There is 1 more thing which I need urgent help with.

On my site https://www.crystalgamer.com, I would like to make some headings that are spread all around the home page. I am trying to achieve something similar to that on https://www.paragamer.com.

If you look on https://www.paragamer.com, you will see that there are are lots of headings like:

“Editor’s Picks”
“Reviews”
“Previews”
“Interviews”
“Editorials”

There is also a “latest news” heading on the sidebar.

I would like to achieve something like this on my site and get rid of the “Headline” and “Browse Categories” headings.

I know very little about coding and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me exactly what code to put in and edit and in which php file.

Please Help

Greatest thanks

Thank you very much. You wouldn’t believe how much that has helped me.

I have 1 other question.

How can I rearrange the categories into any order I want rather than them being alphabetical?

Once again,
Many thanks

Will this enable me to keep the 5 categories I have on my nav bar there but keep the other category somewhere else?

Go on my site, https://www.crystalgamer.com. You will see 5 categories in the nav bar and I want to create another category called “Previews” but not have it on the nav bar.

Should I follow the instructions in the previous post or is there something else I need to do?
