In reply to: Remove comments from my Contact Me pageyeah I see it removed the shadow.. now it looks boring and is still floating to the top.
Hmm, lets keep trying stuff.
Ok remove that stupid position: relative;
and maybe throw in a display: block; for good measure. lol

In reply to: Remove comments from my Contact Me pageOr just erase the box-shadow line and see if that remedies the problem

In reply to: Remove comments from my Contact Me pagein style.css we are looking at this
#footer { background: url("images/sprite_h.png") repeat-x scroll left -117px #000000; box-shadow: 0 -3px 5px 0 #000000; height: 49px; position: relative; }I’m assuming since it is CSS3 and its IE, it doesnt know what to do with it and goes into panic mode, so of course throw it way up towards the top. Of course!
Try replacing with this
#footer { background: url("images/sprite_h.png") repeat-x scroll left -117px #000000; height: 49px; position: relative; } #footer { box-shadow: 0 -3px 5px 0 #000000; }What this should do is let the IE have its little styling, and then when a better browser comes along it can go ahead and add the shadow without IE panicing and crying like a little girl. If this doesnt work, someone smarter than me will have to help, cause im dumb 😉

In reply to: Remove comments from my Contact Me pageWell I never did see a thick black band but rather a small border. But since it was set to 3px I figured that had to be it.
For me the border is definitely gone now (and it looks good).
Either I’m definitely misunderstanding what you mean. Or your browser is still caching the CSS.
sorry I couldnt be of more help.

In reply to: Remove comments from my Contact Me pagehmm it changed it for me.
Did you try hard refreshing your browser to make sure its reading the CSS changes?
or try just deleting the bottom-border completely. If that doesn’t work then I must have misunderstood what you are talking about.

In reply to: Remove comments from my Contact Me pageyou can try editing the style.css
find this section
#nav { background: url("images/sprite_h.png") repeat-x scroll left top gray; border-bottom: 3px double #FFFFFF; border-top: 1px solid #333333; height: 20px; padding-top: 12px; position: relative; width: 100%; z-index: 100; }and change the border-bottom: 3px to 1px …might work. If it doesnt then try changing double to solid.

In reply to: Remove comments from my Contact Me pageIs the comment me page an actual PAGE? or is it a post?
Why the heck would a page come default with a comment section? Just curious if this is the case.

In reply to: [Distinction] How to remove post date?It depends on what theme you are using.
but essentially you will be looking to erase
<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>from any of the index.php home.php single.php templates.But once again it really depends on what theme template you are using.
Also I’m pretty sure there are plugins that will allow you to erase the date from all posts, so that way you don’t have to edit the template files.

In reply to: Stop WP from opening links in new windowI switched things around and got rid of
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]
so hopefully that improves my security and functionality.I’m sure I am approaching lots of things incorrectly as this is my first venture into WP. But its working.
Essentially what I’m doing is building a website and incorporating WordPress into it, not the other way around. That does seem to be the odd way of doing things, but to me its more intuitive and with more control.
Basically I’m using wordpress more as minimal CMS then as a blog.if you goto mysite.com you will be at my main page index, which is just pure HTML5/CSS, however it does grab posts a loops them on the front page.
Then if you goto mysite.com/blog you will finally be in the directory where my WP is installed. However I’m still using my own theme that is more like once again incorporating WordPress into that theme rather than the other way around. So both my top level index and my subfolder WP have the exact same layout and run off the same CSS.
My “theme” is very bare but pretty functional. I’m just barely adding single.php comments.php etc.So in your opinion is this messed up or what? lol

In reply to: Stop WP from opening links in new windowWell I have an HTML/CSS website and then I have wordpress in the blog sub folder. On my top level index file I just call the WP header so I can run the loop and display the posts on the front page.
But I created a custom theme to match the exact look so when people click on the post title etc it has the same feel.
Anyhow I want to run some of the same header/nav footers etc so I just inc the same file on both my top level index pages and in the WP custom theme folder… I’m just starting out so I don’t really know the best way to lay this out. What would you recommend?
