Hi Mark,

I actually managed to fix it by finding the wordpress original .htaccess code (online) and replacing it in CPanel.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Back up and running although I’m still getting that 404 error from Google regarding sitemaps…Perhaps I’m following his instructions incorrectly. I presume the Apache rewrite was right for me but perhaps it’s the other one. Anyway not really sure what the sitemaps solution is but at least the site is up again;-)

This is the 404 fix which led the whole mess in first place.

Thanks so much for getting back to me. If you a silver bullet overwrite (or recomm) I can cut / paste into my .htaccess file that would be amazing.

PERFECT.
Thanks so much. Using the Google inspector tool I’d actually worked out that wrapper element was the one to change (default set at 540 px) and had attempted your fix, however for whatever reason when pasting it at the end of the Child theme sheet it wasn’t taking effect. This time I pasted your code…

@import url(“../blaskan/style.css”);
#wrapper {
width: 830px;
}

…directly below the import line and it worked! Great. Thanks again.

Nhat only suggested amending the Blaskan main theme’s stylesheet as a means of testing the fix using the the child theme (which I am using).
However despite following the child theme instructions (adding the suggested code to the bottom) I was not successful in hiding the ‘tagline’ from the home page, it still appears despite copying / pasting it into the Child theme.
If you have any official suggestions for how to achieve this or what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it.
Regards
Nick

Hi Nhat,

On second thoughts I’d like to at least see how it looked like.

I’m copying / pasting the exact line you wrote above into my CSS Child Theme but it’s not having any effect…

Do I need to paste just:

#header-message { display:none; }

Or do I need to add?

{
#header-message { display:none; }
}

Apologies it’s the first time I’ve tried to add anything to a CSS child theme much appreciated! Thanks

Thanks for that Nhat issue resolved.

Hi Nhat,

That’s correct that is the ‘tagline’ I’m referring to. However removing the tagline in this way will remove that important piece of information from search engines as well – if I remove it and go it settings it has been removed from the site entirely.

I don’t want to ‘remove’ it, just hide it from appearing on the homepage itself.

Other threads on same topic (but different themes) – suggest I’d need to go into the CSS code to achieve this. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks so much for that Kaniamea it worked perfectly!

Regards

Nick
