Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Trying to add padding to gallery imagesTry this:
dl.gallery-item:nth-child > dt:nth-child(1) { padding-left: 5%; padding-right: 5%; }
This is the same thing as above:
dl.gallery-item:nth-child > dt:nth-child(1) { padding: 0 5% 0 5%; }
I’m not familiar with the theme you are using but you might also need to look at the size of the images. The padding won’t really be noticeable if the images have a set size. I assume you want the images to be closer together but not scrunched up in the middle of the page? It’s hard to lessen the space between them if the size is being constrained somewhere else.

In reply to: Adding Video to PostFirst of all the “text” option is the same as HTML – hypertext markup language ??
It will be easier for me to help you if you let me know which theme you are using.

In reply to: half my images wont show – blue question markI’d start by contacting the developer of Sitelock and asking them if the reconfiguration tends to make images disappear. Or you need to contact Hostgator customer support and have them look into the problem. Otherwise go into your posts and make sure that the images are correctly linked from your media files. It’s possible some of the links were broken at some point.

In reply to: After swithcing to new hosting can't see site anymore?Have you tried clearing your cache? Maybe also try using a different browser on your computer as well to see if it’s something going on with your browser. Otherwise I would contact your new hosting and ask them why your site can’t be viewed from your computer.

In reply to: login does not take me to dashboardYour question is a little unclear. Are you unable to find the login page or is your login information not working?
Usually you can access your dashboard by going to: https://www.mydomainname.com/wp-admin – if it’s the first time then you will be walked through basic things like naming your site.

In reply to: How to set the link for the new post?If you have “recipe” in your menu as a “category” then every time you add a new recipe to that category it will be the newest post.
You can go to your dashboard and under “Posts” select “New Category.” Under there add “Recipe” as a category. Go back to “Posts” and click on “Add New Post” and select “Recipe” as the category and it will be the most recent post when you click on “Recipe” in the menu.

Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Online Backup for WordPress] Backup failedI have my sites hosted through dreamhost and it automatically backs up the site each day for me. There are plugins but they aren’t guaranteed and if they don’t work you have to hope that the creator of that plugin still cares about it and is interested in helping you. You can google “schedule database backup.” It seems to vary quite a bit depending on whether you are using a pc or a mac, etc. Dreamhost backs up my site and then usually once a week I download the child themes and zip them and put them on an external hard drive (or two). That is not necessarily the greatest solution but it works for me!

In reply to: [Twenty Thirteen] how to remove time stamp from home pageAre you using a child theme and a custom home page – a home page that uses a different template than all of your other pages. Otherwise it will remove it from any page created in the same format as the home page.
