Does the fact that WordPress generates many scaled versions mean that one is best advised to upload a higher quality — meaning larger file size — image to prevent image degradation as WordPress upscales or downscales the image? Or will that slow down the drawing of a page so that one had better upload a lighter image? * br Philip * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Are there any recommended image dimensions for galleries?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/are-there-any-recommended-image-dimensions-for-galleries/) * Thread Starter [pullman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pullman/) * (@pullman) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/are-there-any-recommended-image-dimensions-for-galleries/#post-8801280) * Thank you James.

The relevant code isn’t in the footer file that the WP dashboard shows as editable( called entry-footer.php). Rather one has to access the theme’s files over FTP. There will be a directory called “inc” which contains several footer files. That’s where the code can be removed. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Learning to change CSS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/learning-to-change-css/) * [pullman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pullman/) * (@pullman) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/learning-to-change-css/#post-8712210) * hello did you find a way to do this?

I have contacted the host but as I wasn’t sure what directory this concerned they couldn’t really help me. * Could I perhaps set the permissions myself on the temp directory?

I appreciate it. * You have solved the most tricky thing I’ve had to struggle with on the site since I redesigned it over a year ago. I can’t tell you how incredibly grateful I am. Thank you so very much! I’m absolutely thrilled to have this sorted finally ( and I’ve learnt a lot in the process, too).

I added the wallpaper class to the ul, but now the submenu items show next to the main (first-level) menu items. * ``` WALLPAPERS
  • WILDLIFE
  • NATURE
  • iPHONE
    •  ``` * It is as if `display=none` doesn’t work on the Wallpaper submenu. It is odd, because the CSS of the Wallpaper submenu is identical to that of the Galleries submenu. * What could be wrong? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Gaah, how do I do this?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gaah-how-do-i-do-this/) * Thread Starter [pullman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pullman/) * (@pullman) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gaah-how-do-i-do-this/#post-2462508) * Wow this is great – you’re helping me solve an issue I’ve tried with for over a year. * The tiny problem is that I don’t use the WP Dashboard for the menu. I sort of typed it together myself with the help of the net. * I have added the new class to style.css like this (and placed it immediately below original `#navigation li ul`): * `#navigation li ul.wallpaper {margin:0; padding:0 5px; display:none;position: absolute;left:340px; top:-3px;background-color:#fff;}` * Where I stumble now is how to link the class to the code in footer.php. This is the code: * ```
  • WALLPAPERS
    • ``` * Not sure if that’s how to connect to the wallpaper class. What happens is that the Wallpaper submenu appears vertical and to the left. * Thanks for your continued help, I am super grateful Philip Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 66 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pullman/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pullman/replies/page/3/?output_format=md) [4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pullman/replies/page/4/?output_format=md) [5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pullman/replies/page/5/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pullman/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
