 * Good day,
    I have been reading about tweaking the css files to fit my template
   but have not been able to. Please help us. Our site is at [http://www.breakawayspeedsoftball.com/16u](http://www.breakawayspeedsoftball.com/16u)
   How can I get the single player page fit our template? Thank you very much for
   all you do. Regards Victor

 * Hi Victor,
    I just looked at your site and the single player seems to be fitting
   okay. What are you trying to do? What theme are you using?
 * BTW, if you use the Coaching Staffs plugin instead of the Team Rosters plugin
   for the coaches I think you will get better results.

 * Mr. Mark,
    Thank you kindly for your speedy response. I do not think the page
   is working at all. When we click on the player’s name to load the individual 
   player’s profile, bio etc. It expands to the entire screen. I tried editing the
   css file but could not make it to work. The template we use is the Moderm Template
   by Shape5.com. I will take your recommendation to use the coaches plugin. Thanks
   again. Victor

 * Hi Victor,
    Oh, okay. Sorry, I was focused on the plugin itself.
 * So you want it to look like the roster page — header, right nav bar, etc. Right?
   I’ll look tonite but at first glance I’d say you might need an edit or two in
   the template.

 * Mr. Mark,
    Thank you very much. I appreciate it. FYI, we run quite a bit of sport
   pages using Joomla, and your plugin has been the reason we are moving to WordPress.
   The plugin is solid and extremely valuable for what we do. This website is the
   first one we do using wordpress and will be the showcase for more to come and
   hopefully the migration of many from joomla. Thanks again. Victor

 * Hi Victor,
    No worries, glad you are finding the plugins useful. Please subscribe
   to our newsletter to keep up with all the latest releases.
 * I looked at your website in a bit more depth. Unfortunately, I can’t fix it for
   you without getting into the theme templates. Something is going on that I can’t
   figure out from the HTML. If you would like to give me admin access to your site,
   please contact me at [mark@shoalsummitsolutions.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-css-help-2/mark@shoalsummitsolutions.com?output_format=md).(
   DON’T put any of your website information in this forum!) If you don’t want to
   give me admin access, I COMPLETELY understand and am not at all offended. But
   in that case I’m not going to be able to help you with the interaction between
   the plugin pages and your theme.

    -Mark

 * Hi Victor,
    I saw your last post but it’s not shown here for some reason. (??)
 * I did take a deeper dive into your site and your theme is interesting. I can’t
   tell if these are”Joomla” guys who started with a Joomla template and don’t understand
   [the conventions of writing a WordPress theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development),
   or if they are trying to obfuscate the theme to make it harder for others to 
   adapt. The `single-player.php` template is not working properly largely because
   they have chosen to ignore some WP basics. In addition there were some directories
   like includes that I could not see from the WP admin page’s editor. Moreover,
   a number of the standard templates that I would expect to see – `single.php, 
   page.php, category.php, archive.php, comments.php` – are missing. So I’m not 
   quite sure how the theme is handling [the WP template hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy).
 * I believe I can patch the single-player.php template so it will work in your 
   them but:
    (a) I don’t want to mess with your existing templates, so you will
   have to set me up with a FTP account so I can do some patching and testing of`
   single-player.php`, and (b) you’ll be on your own to update this template with
   any new release of Team Rosters.
 * If you don’t want to go that route, I suggest you go to a more “WP standards 
   compliant” theme or don’t use the `single-player.php` template.
 * Regards,
    -Mark

 * I am talking about an FTP account. Not a WordPress account. Got that.

 * Mr. Mark,
    Unfortunately the server does not provide access to port 21. I could
   probably zip the template files and send them out your way. And yes the company
   started as a Joomla template force, and not long ago opened the WordPress division(
   Less than a year). How can I patch that file myself? Just to keep track for future
   updates? Thank you very much for all you do. Regards Victor

 * Okay. So if I were to send you a patch file, how would you get it up to your 
   site? Replace it in the plugin then reload the entire plugin? If that’s the case,
   your server is not going to allow any serious customization of the plugins and
   themes; you are going to have to live with the base versions. If you want to 
   customize, I would reconsider my hosting service options and my theme if I were
   you. I’ve never heard of a WordPress hosting service that doesn’t allow FTP.
 * As for as zipping me the theme, I’m not going to load your theme onto my server
   unless you want to hire me to fix the issue for you. Sorry, but I just don’t 
   have the time to dig into with everyone’s environment. The issues usually aren’t
   hard to resolve, it just takes a lot of time to duplicate your environment.

    -Mark

 * Mark,
    Thank you very much for all your help. Thanks for all you do. You have
   a great product. In regards to this situation. I will discuss it internally to
   see what route to take. Thanks for your recommendations also. Best, Victor
