In reply to: Removing sidebar and widen the width of remaining columnThere are a number of ways that this can be done, depending on how your site is set up.
You need to provide us with a link to your site, or at least let us know what template you are using so we can identify the most appropriate approach for you.
Thanks

In reply to: Lines and spaces aren't the same on browersHi Whitelight,
It isn’t completely clear what lines you are referring to and which images you are referring to, but my guess would be that there is something in the Style Sheets for the template that is over-riding the positions of the images in the text editor.
If you can be more specific about which images on which pages, and how you want them to appear, I will try to work out what you need to do to get them to work (no promises though ?? )
Thanks

Hi Taraq,
Thanks for your reply.
I have removed the theme additional image because I prefer the clickable image that comes with the plugin.
Thanks

In reply to: Had a 500 error, followed advice here & now haveHeya MP,
I have some confusion about the URL you are using. You have referred a couple of times to the URL https://exploresf.biz/blog, but the Explore San Francisco website (exploresanfrancisco.biz) is linking to the blog address https://exploresanfrancisco.biz/blog
Are you getting your URL’s confused? Is this the cause of your issue?
Thanks

In reply to: htaccess and redirects not workingThe file name should be just .htaccess as you say.
The root directory is the same directory where you put the WordPress files when you set up your site. So in the public_html folder, if you can also see three folders called wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes then it is in the right spot

In reply to: Had a 500 error, followed advice here & now haveDid you search in your .htaccess file for that text – T6Mil1Kql6I
Also, did all of your troubles start when you changed your permalinks (under Settings section of the WordPress dashboard)?

In reply to: Something in my page making a dupe pageI guess that my question is, are you asking this because you want to make sure your site is SEO friendly, or because you are concerned about something else?
If you are concerned about the SEO, I would suggest that you listen to the Google Webmaster Tools outcome over the Godaddy outcome. After all, it is google search results you are probably wanting the SEO to be tailored for.
If there is another reason, my might want to look into the Canonical links in the SEO plug in (I have not used this plugin so I don’t know if it has the capacity to manage that). Google Canonical URL link to find out more about them.
Good luck

In reply to: I can't access the website and the login pageIf it is a change you made in one of the files you will need to access the server via FTP, try to find the file you changed and fix it that way.
If the change has been saved to the database (which sounds more likely to me) then you will need to access the database and update the incorrect code.

In reply to: Had a 500 error, followed advice here & now haveSo you are saying that there is a file on the server called .htaccess
Because I have not had any knowledge of the issue you were dealing with before this thread, please excuse any repeated suggestions. I am also stabbing in the dark here so pls be patient ??
If you view the contents of the .htaccess file, can you do a search to see if there is any text that includes the following:
T6Mil1Kql6IWhen you received advice to change the .htaccess file to a text file, was that in another thread on this site? Can you provide me with a link to that so I can see what has gone on so far.
Thanks

In reply to: Had a 500 error, followed advice here & now haveHi MpMoran,
I just had a bit of a look and It appears to me that the issue is with your .htaccess file. Can you explain what you mean when you said “I changed he .htaccess file to a text file”?
The .htaccess file is not a text file (though it can be edited in a text editor like notepad). If you have changed it into a text file, that might be where you have problems.
When I click on any of the links on your blog, I see that the URL is updated to https://exploresanfrancisco.biz/blog/#.T6Mil1Kql6I
I am guessing that there is some invalid info in your .htaccess file. Did you edit the contents of the file at all?
Hi,
Just giving this a bump…..
Hoping that someone can help me with this one. It should be a simple If statement based on a check of the database, but I am unsure where to start.
Thanks

In reply to: Centering Footer TextHeya,
Ok, here are a couple of changes to the CSS that will give you what you want (I am assuming that you want the Copyright text center-aligned)
In the stylesheet “style-weaver.css (wp-content/uploads/weaver-subthemes/style-weaver.css) on line 24 you will find
#site-info { width:460px; }
Change the width to 940px
Then, in the style.css, on line 1567 you will find
#ttw_ftdl { text-align: left; }
Change the text-align to center
Now when you refresh your page, your footer text should be appearing in the center.
I hope that was what you were trying to do.
Thanks

In reply to: Removing title in Liquorice themeHi Rhianna,
I had a quick look at that template, and I think the code you want to look at getting rid of can be found in the header.php.
The offending code is
<<?php echo $heading_tag; ?> id="site-title"> <span> <a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a> </span> </<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>
Comment that out and see if that helps.
Good luck.
Simon
Hi Profusion,
Thanks for your reply. I will investigate the other plugins.
I can understand and appreciate the author’s frustration. I am sure it must be very disheartening to spend your own personal time and effort to build something original, only to have people criticise your work because it isn’t perfect out of the box and they don’t want to make the effort to help get it running.
Thanks

In reply to: Need help with adding code to the CSS to get mouseover to workThanks for the reply.
Unfortunately that didn’t work. When I added the code to the part of the CSS you suggested, the color-change worked when I mouseover the text, but I was wanting the whole area to change color.
Now that I have thought about it (and slept – amazing how that can clear your thinking) I have realised that what i am trying to do is not what i want anyway. The Custom Menu widget only creates clickable text. I need the whole area to be clickable so I am going to look for a more suitable widget to do what I want.
The fun continues…..
