Also, the “Are you sure you want to do this?” “Please try again” message is a standard error message when wp_nonce and check_admin_referer dont match up, according to the book on wordpress Im reading

well, thanks, but instead of moral support can you provide some technical support to get me started

o.k., now I can get in after I reloaded the login page…thanks sabinou

Hi Sabinou,
I renamed the file and I also deleted the files for the new plugin. Neither of those worked–still can’t login

Esmi, I think I get what you’re saying and I actually think that my site already is doing what the other sites you showed me are doing–I entered a title in the dashboard just moved it off to the side using text-indent: -9999px (and ontop of that there’s my background image) so I’m assuming the title underneath and pushed off screen will still be picked up by search engines

However, one thing you wrote causes me confusion. You say to “absolutely position” the logo over the text. “Position: absolute” is a CSS command (I believe) but neither of those sites use it in their CSS as far as I can see

Can you clarify whether you were using “absolutely position” in the sense of recommending it as a CSS command, or were you just using those words in their ordinary non-css meaning

thanks

yo, having problems inserting links, maybe should give up

<a href="https://www.thelimegreenscream.com">

oops, for some reason my link didn’t show

Esmi, just a question about what you said above re: that the HI image link in the header is arguably the most important link on the site but “invisible” to Google without an Alt attribute. In my site, I inserted the header image as a CSS background image and made it a link back to the homepage–my research into CSS has told me that you can’t attach Alt attributes with it. Does this mean that my site is “invisible” to Google and will therefore suffer for SEO purposes?, or have i misunderstood your post?

I don’t think my link will be of any extra assistance for this question but just in case here it is

in fact, if you were referring to that IE CSS, then I don’t think it’s the problem, because the website that uses the same theme and which I got the idea from to put that thin image off to the side has the same custom IE CSS but it doesn’t have the same problem in Internet Explorer as I do.

When you say IE custom class, are you referring to IE specific CSS? My theme includes a bit of CSS specific to IE.

body.ie { font-size: 125%; }
	.ie #container, .ie .full_width { font-size: 50%; }
	.ie ul#tabs { width: 100%; }
	.ie input.form_submit { width: auto; overflow: visible; }

/*---:[ IE 6 styles ]:---*/
.ie6 #content, .ie6.sidebar { overflow: hidden; }
.ie6 dl#comment_list dd { border-bottom: 1px dotted #bbb; }
	.ie6 dl#comment_list dl.children dd { border-bottom: 0 }

thanks that CSS error (display clear) was actually one of my attempts to fix the problem that didn’t work. I forgot to remove it. I’ll try the validation problems

I tried to put a small background image in once and it created a conflict with the background color i.e. it over-rode the background color and so the background just white

can anyone please explain why there is a background with a color code #FOFOFO
and also a line that designates a color i.e. #333333

thanks for the reply

problem fixed
