# Second Install – Page issues

 * Hi, after multiple testing of various LMS options for wordpress I have picked
   Lifter LMS as the winner 🙂
 * I tried many others and fiddled around with various dummy/test courses and content.
   After trying all, I deactivated and deleted all of the plugins and also the pages
   created by them.
 * Now when I install Lifter LMS (for the second time) the pre installed pages, 
   such as ‘purchase’ do not get created .
 * Is there any way I can force, upload or create these pages quickly myself? I 
   am running into problems when trying out dummy courses and content now where 
   pages are not present or not linked.
 * I do not want to do a fresh WordPress install because there are other areas of
   the site I want to keep in place.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * UPDATE
 * I managed to resolve this with a clean install in the end and working hard to
   get back to where I was.
 * I do have one last final issue. My theme uses a background image for the main
   content area (its a notepad so content looks as though it is on the notepad).
   The memberships page lists all created memberships but totally overrides/removes
   the theme background content image.
 * Any possible solution?

 * [@stickymathscom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stickymathscom/),
 * Sorry I didn’t get here fast enough to save you the time of a re-install.
 * In the future, you could head into your database and find the record on the “
   wp_options” table called “lifterlms_settings_installed” — you can either delete
   this or change the value to “no”
 * Then reload your admin panel and the first run installation will re-run itself.
   This will reset your settings to the default and re-install pages. We’re working
   on our setup and install in the future to make this re-runable on demand without
   having to use database queries and make it overall more helpful, but in the meantime
   if you ever need it again it’s there.
 * As for your second issue it’s really hard to say what’s going on here. We try
   wherever possible to be as theme-agnostic as possible but it’s really hard to
   do given the range of styles themes take on. If you can provide me a link to 
   the page in question I’d be happy to take a look and see if there’s anything 
   I can do.
 * Take care,

 * Thanks for the reply thomasplevy,
 * Nice to hear about future plans for a re-runable fresh installation.
 * I will take my site out of maintenance for a while so you can take a look. This
   is the page in question, the lifter memberships content section just totally 
   overrides the theme background and side menus.

 * Hey [@stickymathscom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stickymathscom/),
 * Best I can come up with would be to add the following custom CSS to your theme
   or child theme or by using a plugin like [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
 *     ```
       .post-type-archive main.content.llms-content {
           background: url(http://stickymaths.com/wp-content/themes/anarcho-notepad/images/notepad-back.gif) repeat-y;
           width: 960px;
           margin: 0 auto;
           padding: 0 20px 0 70px;
           word-wrap: break-word;
       }
   
       .post-type-archive main.content.llms-content .page-title:empty {
       	display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps,

 * Thank you for getting back to me 🙂
 * Very close! The sidebar/menu is covered now. I will play around with the css 
   myself but in the mean time I will save the changes if you are able to take a
   second look that will be great.
 * Thanks again.

 * [@stickymathscom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stickymathscom/),
 * We don’t have support for sidebars on these pages, I think you’re going to want
   to look into [template overriding](https://lifterlms.com/docs/lifterlms-templates/#template-overrides)
   in order to customize the archive templates to include sidebars should you wish
   for sidebars display on your theme.
 * As I noted, we try really hard to make LifterLMS compatible with as many themes
   as possible but we can’t be 100% compatible with all themes all the time.
 * We also, in general, just don’t have any support for sidebars on our course or
   membership archive pages.
 * It’s possible, but you’re going to need to do some template customization to 
   make it happen.
 * Look at the templates at templates/archive-course.php and templates/archive-llms_membership.

 * I totally understand and appreciate your support.
 * I think my best option is to just hide the top image in the header area. The 
   image that contains the top of the ‘pages’ sidebar.
 * This one:

 * I used this:
    .post-type-archive header#masthead.site-header { background: none;}
 * Thanks for all your help, really appreciate it and have to say your LMS is way
   above the rest.
