Sorry.
I have both – interesting that it doesn’t work on self-hosteds. Thanks for the reply.

On my Twenty Ten, things were already put in with a sub-menu class, so without adding the Screen Options, I was able to add the following to my style.css file:

#access ul ul.sub-menu {
background-image: url('some-backing-image.png');
}

Fix

Details I forgot:
My site: Mokido Cavaliers
and by “get a 404” I mean that I get a 404 error when I try to view the /sitemap_index.xml

I’m having the same problem. It uses the title of the static blog page.
It does not use the generated SEO title or the forced SEO title if I fill in the title field.

Ok, it looks as though placing a position: absolute inside a position: relative does not count for the height of the container.

/solved.

Do I have to make my divs float inside the wordpress content?

Steps to fix this:
Uninstalled plugins.
Reinstalled WordPress
Changed Permalinks
Changed Reading settings from static
Reworked .htaccess

Something in these steps worked.

But the folder where wp is installed /dogs gives a 404 and the static page that used to show all posts /dogs/blog is a 500 internal.

Here is my .htaccess

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mokido.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mokidocavaliers.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Thank you ever so much!

Well, can I install wordpress in a subdirectory and act like it’s in root with my static site?

WordPress is installed in the root

I’m using settings/reading to have the home page be static (unused) and the posts page is set to blog. That’s why the blog appears to be in a subdirectory

(thanks for replying. I’m so stumped!)
