 * I had someone help build a website and it was a disaster. How do I get the titles
   that appear at the top of each page to be centered instead of off to the left(
   which looks horrible)? Here is one link: [http://chronicintractablepainandyou.org/forums/forum/about-us-visible-to-everyone/read-dr-pattys-31-years-pain-journey/](http://chronicintractablepainandyou.org/forums/forum/about-us-visible-to-everyone/read-dr-pattys-31-years-pain-journey/)
 * All of my posts and pages have the titles off to the left. Is this a big deal
   to do? Our developer walked out.

 * If this is what you want, add the following to your CSS file:
 *     ```
       .vce-page .entry-title-page {
           text-align: center;
       }
       ```
   
 * If your theme does not have a custom CSS capability, install the plugin “simple
   custom css”

 * My theme is the Meks theme [http://www.chronicintractablepainandyou.org](http://www.chronicintractablepainandyou.org)
   We were left by the developers and my staff and I do not know any CSS. Is there
   a way to do it to all of the several thousand pages at one time?

 * when you change the CSS, it applies to all pages
 * install the plugin “simple custom css” so you can add CSS without touching the
   theme.
 * Then you should probably hire/contract/retain a WP professional who can teach
   you and/or your staff to maintain your site.

 * I downloaded the file but have no idea where to add it. I am sorry for being 
   such a pest, but this technology I do not understand.

 * You just need to install the plugin by going through **Plugins > Add New** then
   search simple custom CSS. Activate after installing and then there should be 
   a new option under **Appearance** that says **Custom CSS**.
 * You’ll then see this page:

 * Paste sterndata’s code there.

 * I’m seeing the CSS I gave you at the top of your page. Where did you add it?

 * We know how to use WordPress, but when it comes to codes, we don’t. The developers(
   if you call them that), has all of our titles on our pages off to the left. We
   want them centered because it looks horrible! I have been trying to figure out
   where to put the code, and when I did do the simple css (and put the code in 
   there), my staff could no longer see our website.

 * Where can I find someone who is familiar with WordPress codes and layout! It 
   is probably something easy, but I can’t even see it! I just need someone to teach
   me how to do this and then we should be ok. We are using the Meks theme.

 * Based on what I see the titles are now centered. Your website just takes a while
   to load though. I think you may need to fix the broken links on some of the resources
   in your website. Please see this [screenshot](http://screencast.com/t/N1vqjLbj2aFr).

 * It now looks like all of the titles are centered! Thanks for all of your help!
   There was a place on the Meks options to change that. Now, why they made those
   titles with such big lettering, your guess is as good as mine.
 * I thank you once again! I have chronic pain myself and I need to go lay down 
   for while! You are so awesome!
 * As for the broken links, I lost everything that I did and am in the process of
   replacing all of the link areas. Some are not finished yet.
