In reply to: Error header InfoThere’s something in the theme you’ve installed (or created) called topicala which is throwing these errors. If you switch your site back to the default theme you should notice them go away.
Try contacting the theme developer about the errors and make sure that the version of WP you’re using is supported with that theme.

In reply to: I cant access my word press dash boardWhat is the URL that you are being given?
Also, can you log in to your site via FTP and make sure that it has indeed installed? You should see a lot of files with a ‘wp-‘ prefix in the installation directory you specified.

In reply to: very goodI think we should go one further and assume that they’re thanking everyone individually.
I for one thank you, and I’m glad you enjoyed my theme!

In reply to: CSS inline style questionHi pullman,
You’re nearly there, you just need to make sure you use get_bloginfo() within PHP tags. Try this:
background: url('<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/marasunsetbgr.jpg');Usually only use get_bloginfo() if you want to store the value, if you want to just echo it to the browser use bloginfo().

In reply to: Footer code doesn’t look rightMy guess would be that the developer of the theme has encoded the footer contents so you can’t easily edit them. I take it there’s a “This theme was developed by xxx” in the footer?
Depending on what the footer contains you could easily enough replace the line with raw HTML for what you need – obviously adding back in the developer’s link if there was one there before 😉
Hi Westovers,
The reason is you’re using a 3-column layout theme, but only using two of the columns – which means when you’re left one of the columns empty it doesn’t show, which is why you’re getting your white space.
If you want to stick to your 3-column code but make some changes to the CSS file to compensate, find this in ‘style.css’ file:
/* 3 columns */ #mainbody-lr {width:460px; float:left; margin:0 20px;} #left, #right {width:220px; float:left;}and change it so that the #mainbody-lr width is 660px, that should solve your problems. Though I imagine the place where you got the theme will have some documentation on switching between the 2/3 column layout.

In reply to: Adding Drop Down MenusHi Jared,
Would you be able to elaborate a little?
Are these basic HTML form drop-down menus or something more advanced (such as a JavaScript drop-down)? What do you want the menu to display?
Showing us your existing theme/menu would be helpful as well so we can see what you’re trying to achieve.

In reply to: Adding a new themeHi Bob,
Just to be clear, the theme folder should be placed in the directory:
/wordpress/wp-content/themes/
Is that where the folder is located? Make sure that there isn’t a folder within a folder (which sometimes happens if you’ve downloaded a .zip). One file to check is ‘style.css’ which is in the downloaded theme’s folder. In your case that should be here:
/wordpress/wp-content/themes/suffusion/style.css
Just gotta get that directory structure right and it should show up (as long as the theme has been properly made!)
