Hi again – I finally took a look at child’s themes and how they work. I was surprised to find that they were so simple.

Anyways, there is still the origional problem of the specific styling coding that I cannot locate. I, obviously, do not know anything about coding; so I rely on finding the current style coding and editing what is already written. SO, in order to make my edits in the child’s theme, I would have to be able to copy the section that I want to edit, I would think. There is another avenue that I can think of to try, however.

Are you asking about the navigation in the left sidebar?

Yes, that is what I am asking about and having the hardest time locating. I have read every file of coding and still unable to find it. I cannot think of why I cannot find it. Thanks so much for all of your help!

I think that the navigation bar is the same in everybody’s theme, but here it is none the less. Thanks for the help!

(I have done away with the pop-out pages for lack of a better term from the parent pages on the navigation bar because they were blue and not adding to the look – so you will not see those, but everything else you will see)

I know that it cannot be done from the dashboard. That is why I assume that it has to be done prior to uploading it, correct?

You are so right about the child theme. I just did not know anything about that when I began. Thank you for the link. I will educate myself and do it.

So you are saying that the file needs to be renamed before it is uploaded?

I, of course, have found the file on the analytical theme that is already uploaded to my wordpress dashboard. I cannot find a way to rename a file from there, so I am assuming that it has to be done prior to being uploaded.

Unfortunately, I do not want to lose the editing that I have done to the theme. Is there a way to get around this – is there another way?

Hi Nishant,

This code is no where in the CSS. I want to edit the background png for the navigation bar as well as the black border and the shaddow. I also want to edit the css around the page links – fonts, no lines in between, and edit the color of the pop out pages (sorry I do not know the technical name.)

I even had a programmer look for the css code to edit the navigation bar to make sure that I was not just being stupid, and he could not find it either.

This is the most important code that I have been looking for:

background: url(“../images/header-bg.png”) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 1px 0 0;
bottom: 0;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 1px #000000;
left: 0;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 280px;

Thanks for helping! I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely – Lydia

I have the same question.

Under “Appearance” I click on “Customize” and then I try to set my static page to a page that I have created, but when I do this what shows up on the site’s home page is just the three sliding image backgrounds with their pushpin, bouncy, paper tag.

(I do not want to set my most recent posts for the site to open with. I want a page.)

Help!

Any help on the whereabouts of the navigation bar css coding?

I would super appreciate the help! Thanks!

Which url? the site domain name, the image url, the image url that I want to change it to, etc.?
