In reply to: Front-end loginYou can use a plugin that will remove dashboard access for non-admin users, like this one. (Or, if you are comfortable with the functions.php file, look for a tutorial on doing that.)
After that, you can use a maintenance mode/coming soon plugin that allows you to block an entire site to non-logged in users.

In reply to: Use simple form to make something like classifieds?Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types could work well for this. I’ve done something similar to make a testimonial system.
You make the custom post type for classifieds, and add a few fields (using Advanced Custom Fields) for Location/etc. Then, set up a form to publish the posts. You can set them to be drafts, so you can approve first, or, to publish instantly.
Then you just need to style the archives page to display however many you want at a time.
There are a bunch of tutorials online if I wasn’t clear–

In reply to: right sidebar won't float to topGlad to hear it!
If you use a development tool like Chrome’s Element Inspector or Firefox’s Firebug, you can actually check the css on other sites and see what they’ve done. (Google both and you’ll find tutorials)
Your example looks like it would be something like:
input, textarea { border: 1px solid #ddd; background: #f5f5f5; }And the button can be styled using
input[type=submit]You may find the following resource helpful for determining which elements to use:

Glad to hear it!
I’ve only used it on one site, but my experience was that while it may work with any theme, you’re best off with one that declares itself Buddypress compatible. I kept having theme/BP clashes until I switched themes.

In reply to: Unable to login to my WordPress siteDo you have FTP access?
You’ll probably need to delete the theme that caused the issue. If you don’t know how to do that, you can try contacting your host, and they may be able to help you.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: right sidebar won't float to topIt has to do with your stacking order. You’ve got 3 elements floated left. What you’re trying to attain is 2 columns; one for the content, one for the sidebar.
To achieve that, you need to wrap the 2 content divs (.contactinfo and #simple-contact-form) inside a div, and put the width and float on the containing div.
Re styling your contact form, looks like the regular css for that (input, textarea, etc) should work–it did when I tested it in the browser.
Good luck!
BuddyPress might work well for you. Pretty sure it has most/all of the features you’re looking for.

In reply to: Edit Default More Link TextI’m not sure I understand your post, but this function, placed in your functions.php file, will change the “Read More” tag:
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'modify_read_more_link' ); function modify_read_more_link() { return '<a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '">Your Read More Link Text</a>'; }(Taken from the Codex.)

In reply to: Post content not same with editorWordPress just adds a class to images based on the alignment you choose. The theme’s style.css needs to actually put in the css that will style the images.
See this article in the Codex.
Good luck!

In reply to: Replace "Leave a reply" with comment countInstead of replacing it, could you remove the “Leave a reply,” and add the comment count via a hook? (I know the Canvas theme has a bunch.)

In reply to: Accidentally chose reset all options…. any way to un do that?What you’re describing sounds like options that are from a theme, rather than WordPress itself. Problems with a specific theme are best directed towards the theme author.
Also, including a link to your website, the name of the theme you’re running, and making sure everything is updated is always a good move 🙂

In reply to: [ML Parallax] Easy to use and works well!I meant there are more animation options but I just popped it in in a few minutes and didn’t spend time testing it out.

In reply to: [ML Parallax] Easy to use and works well!Sure. It’s not fancy (there are more options), but it’s in use on this site.
