Please ignore all of the above – I have managed to work out out using visual composer itself. the best thing to use is the Row ID – no coding required!

I still thank you for your comprehensive and quick answer.

thank you ??

oh my life. I don’t know why it’s doing that ??

“final location” image:

oh crap, sorry it has just shown the actual image, will retry and send now

hi and thanks for your swift reply,

sounds like to me that the best way for me to go about this is editing the html in the text view tab as I have tried parent/child themes and completely screwed my site in the past (I’m a total amateur, can you tell?!)

I have looked and isolated this code (the other two look similar)

[vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”1011″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][/vc_column]

I understand i need to edit this by adding in the href but it’s not looking like normal code.

I understand I need to add this in somewhere:

“>” />

but I don’t understand where it fits in with the code that is there. Sorry, I am struggling.

THe same goes for the img id of the “final location” image – this is what i get when i “inspect element”

and am not sure where the img id should go?

Sorry to be a massive pain and thank you in advance,
Jenny

hi Steef & Sterndata,

firstly, apologies for the slow reply – I thought I had my account set up to alert me when someone had responded but I didn’t. Secondly, thank you so much for your sterling help. It was simple, really, I just didn’t know!
Thank you so so much for taking the time to help me!
yours,
Jenny

hi Andrew,

yep, makes sense, and as I am clearly going to need some help currently and in future, totally agree we can all be very grateful to everyone who puts in their time and effort to help!

as I am so new, I’m not sure I’ll run around telling people they gave me bad advice, but I will be chalking up the “never touch the functions code” for myself, and maybe as I get a little more versed I can share my wisdom!

thanks again,

Jenny

hi Jack and Kjodle

Thank you for your help. I am not sure what happened here, I ended up opening two seperate threads because I thought my internet had crashed and not loaded this one.

HOWEVER you guys are the lucky ones because the other version was a lot shorter and a whole let less eloquent ??

I will take the advice to not mess with code in future, and actually, both sets of advice from you two completely mirrored the advice given on the secondary less-eloquent post.
Thank you for that.

Interestingly enough, I only attempted to mess with the function.php file because that is what the person had included in the “other notes” section of the plug in that I was trying to make work.

Is there no policing on the forums for advice which really doesn’t follow best practise?

I ask because obviously as a total newbie I find it scary I could blindly follow advice that might kill my site if done wrong/at all.
However, I do understand if the answer is “oh yeh, we’ll just moderate the ENTIRE wOrLd you silly foo'”

Also could someone advise regarding pasting code in to a forum? on my original message it says that it was removed as a result of forum rules, apologies, i didn’t realise that wasn’t allowed, how should one share it if not that way?

thanks in advance, and I will make the child theme links my evening reading tonight

to wordpress and beyonnnnnnnnnnd

yesssssss, you are amazing.

sorry to be such an irritant. Maybe one day I’ll send you some of my products (crazy trousers, take a look at my website now… work in progress remember, but this is why it’s so important to me – it’s for my business!

next time I will be sure to seek help BEFORE I start screwing with code.

hi matthew!

for clarity, I downloaded wordpress. I am completely new and have been doing everything to the letter.

I downloaded a plug in called styleguide – fonts and colours and installed it. it said it was installed but no font changes worked even though the drop downs were there.

so I saw in the “other notes” you could paste some code in and got cocky.

I tried to paste in a piece of code they suggested in to the

functions.php of the theme I had downloaded.

I obviously did it wrong because I was getting a parse error that was mentioning ‘line 43’

that was on literally every page of the dashboard I tried to click on.

I just tried to delete the theme from FileZilla, and re- upload as I really didn’t do THAT much work on my site as i’m still starting out.

NOW I am getting an even more terrifying message, displayed here at my website www.limbogumbo.co.uk

as well as ANY wordpress dashboard page I try and go on.

In summary I am an idiot. please help, I thought I was doing okay and I really need this webpage for my business.

if there is any more information you need please let me know

Jenny
