 * Hi, I am building a site for a friend who is an infant massage therapist. I am
   using the Motion Theme and have a couple problems that I can’t figure out how
   to fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Here is the site so far:
    [http://www.lopezinfantmassage.com/](http://www.lopezinfantmassage.com/)
   Number 1 is the most important problem:
 * 1) there is a “no categories” field that shows up at the top of every page. I
   would like to remove this, hide this, or – if something has to stay there – replace
   it with another phrase like “infant massage classes” – I have no use for categories
   in this blog/website. I have not been able to figure out how to do this.
 * 2) footer – I would like to remove the Friends and Links/ Pages/ Monthly Archive
   that shows up on every page. When I look under widgets, it doesn’t show anything
   there. Yet these keep showing up. How do I get rid of them, or replace them with
   just Pages by itself? (I tried adding just one widget, based on one message board’s
   suggestion… but when I do that, it changes nothing, the same things continue 
   to show up at the bottom of the page!)
 * 3) size of site title: any way to make this bigger (Infant Massage) ?
 * 4) size of page names at the top of the page (About Alicia/ Contact Me/ Massage
   Benefits/ Upcoming Classes): any way to make those bigger??
 * I would so much appreciate your help with these. I really like this theme, so
   I don’t want to switch to another one.
    thanks, Gosia

 * Hi Gosia,
 * the latest version (1.1.6) of this theme has two menu areas: Primary and Top.
   The one above the header (which you’re using) is the Top one. The other ones 
   is the Main, which currently shows “no categories”. To remedy this, head over
   to Appearance – Menus. Create a new menu here (let’s call it Empty) then place
   nothing inside. Now select the Empty menu as your Primary Menu and your “no categories
   problem” is gone.
 * The footer shows “default widgets” which are often designed to show how a theme
   would display widgets. They show up when you don’t use widgets – which can be
   annoying. To get rid of those just add an empty Text Widget into each of the 
   three widgetised areas at the bottom.
 * Looks like you’ve taken care of the Site Title size already, but here’s what 
   I would do: in style.css have a look for this block of code:
 *     ```
       #header #logo h1 a {
       	color: #fff;
       	font-size: 2em;
       	font-weight: normal;
       	text-shadow: 0 0 6px #555;
       }
       ```
   
 * Here you can change the font-size element to say 4em, that’ll big – play around
   with it and see what suits you.
 * To increase the size of the top navigation, hunt around for this code block in
   style.css:
 *     ```
       #top .top_menu li a {
       	color: #fff;
       	font-size: .75em;
       }
       ```
   
 * Same again, change the font-size element to 1.5em or similar. You can even add
   a line like font-weight: bold; to make the menu stand out.
 * I’m planning on writing an article this week about how to modify this theme –
   check out [http://wpguru.co.uk](http://wpguru.co.uk) for more info.
 * Good luck 😉
