    im quite good with playing around with code now, can’t write it from scratch when it comes to java and php, but i basically spent quite a while using a localhost account to play around with various different php template files in order to get what i wanted achieved.

    If you save back ups of your SQL database through phpMyadmin and copy and paste the child theme which you’ll create you’ll be sorted.

    A child theme basically tags onto a main theme (so twenty twelve in yours and my case too) – if you look here: http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/theme-development/child-themes-basics-and-creating-child-themes-in-wordpress/
    You’ll find what you need to begin here.

    Any coding files you change from the original theme go in here and over-ride the main theme, but the main theme is used for any other files it can’t find in your child theme folder.

    If you mess up on the child template you just delete it and start again, or paste back your regular backups you make (copy and paste of the child theme folder)

    Hope this makes sense

    Your page template, in one of the back-end folders contains the PHP and styling for any page added to your site. When you add content and pages it is added through the database of the site and communicates with the template file and the CSS file to give you the finished page you see.

    You can amend the content of the page using HTML to change things like the text colour, and add DIV tags etc, but tp change how you display this content on the screen, you’ll have to edit the template file. Editing the template file will affect all items which use this template.

    esmi, correct if i’m wrong here 🙂

    Cheers. Iain

    Hi Thanks for the reply. Yes I have tried this and it only makes links once you are in the page https – it doesn’t forward the homepage to HTTPS.

    Also it seems to muck up the stylesheet which is why i have had to change it back.
