    Beautiful! I’m so glad to hear it.

    Sometimes these things just take some time. The more you work with it, the more comfortable you’ll feel. 🙂

    I’m happy to help you look into this a bit more, but it looks like your site is currently down. Once you get it back up, try searching the style.css file for .home and see if you can find it there.

    Hi again,

    Nope. That’s not it. Actually, if you don’t mind editing your last post and removing that code, it will keep this a lot cleaner.

    The file that you’re looking for is called style.css. You can find it under Apperance -> Editor from your Dashboard, or via FTP.

    Note, though, that you should me making changes to your theme by using a child theme, just in case there’s an update to your theme at some point. You can read more about that here: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes

    Hi there!

    The “images” that you have there are actually a bit of CSS. Getting them all on the same line is really going to depend on the size of your screen.

    If you want to change the width and height of them, you can change this line by adding the edited one in your Child Theme CSS file:

    .home li.service {
        border: 2px solid #EEEEEE;
        border-radius: 50%;
        height: 103px;
        padding-top: 61px;
        vertical-align: middle;
        width: 171px;
    }

    Changing the width to 150px;, looks pretty good to me.

    It looks to me like you’ve found the right css and added it to your child theme file. The only issue is that the original css is still overriding the one in your child theme.

    If you add !important to it, it should work:

    a, #site-title a:focus, #site-title a:hover, #site-title a:active, .entry-title a:hover, .entry-title a:focus, .entry-title a:active, .widget_twentyeleven_ephemera .comments-link a:hover, section.recent-posts .other-recent-posts a[rel="bookmark"]:hover, section.recent-posts .other-recent-posts .comments-link a:hover, .format-image footer.entry-meta a:hover, #site-generator a:hover {
        color: #111111 !important;
    }

    I hope that helps!

    Are you using a Theme Switcher plugin? It may be in there.

    It looks like your issue is actually in the switcher.css file.

    It’s putting a pretty large margin above your content.

    You can change this:

    body {
        font-size: 16px !important;
        margin-top: 240px !important;
    }

    to this:

    body {
        font-size: 16px !important;
        margin-top: 40px !important;
    }

    That should do the trick.

    Hi ianmatto,

    I would actually suggest using a plugin like this one: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/ultimate-coming-soon-page to do what you are trying to do.

    By using a plugin, you are still able to play around with a theme and get it just right before anyone else sees it. This one in particular lets your visitors see your “coming soon” page where only logged in users can see the actual site.

    I hope that helps!

    It does look to me like you’ve fixed it as well. You can try clearing your browser’s cache and taking a look at the site again.

    Hi ohgalaxy,

    You can make an easy edit to the style.css file in your child theme.

    Change this:

    #branding img {
        height: auto;
        margin-bottom: -7px;
        width: 100%;
    }

    to this:

    #branding img {
        height: auto;
        margin-bottom: -10px;
        width: 100%;
    }

    That should do it for you.

    Hi Chuckmo,

    It sounds to me like a hosting issue. Are you on a Windows server? In my experience, “Pretty Permalinks” work best on a Linux server running Apache.

    Here’s some reading for you: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Using_Permalinks

    Hi Martinlompa,

    You’re so close!

    Just take a look for the div#header area in your style sheet and replace repeat with no-repeat and it will “fix the glitch”

    In the end, it will look like this:

    div#header {
        background: url("http://news.diletto.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/header31.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
        border-top-left-radius: 6px;
        border-top-right-radius: 6px;
        height: 120px;
    }

    Do you have a page with the same name as your custom post type?

    I’ve seen it where http://yoursite.com/news conflicts with register_post_type( 'news',

    The bottom line being that you can’t have a paged named the same as your custom post type.

    Awesome!

    Always happy to help.

    Hi Roy,

    The line that you’re looking at there is a border.

    In your style.css file, look for this:

    #main ul#postlist li {
        border-top-style: solid;
        border-top-width: 1px;
        overflow: visible;
        padding: 14px 0 0;
    }

    Change the border-top-width size to 0px and the line will go away.

    The CSS will look like this when you’re done:

    #main ul#postlist li {
        border-top-style: solid;
        border-top-width: 0px;
        overflow: visible;
        padding: 14px 0 0;
    }

    Just take note that this will remove the line from all posts, not just the front page.
