but with things being so seemingly fragile

Solid code makes for solid results. It would help if we know what you were entering and where you were entering it. You’re extremely vague about exactly what you are doing, so it is difficult to impossible to give you exact advice.

Excuse me?

A bit late for specifics, don’t you think? After all, I’ve already wiped my whole server clean, and started fresh. I’ve told you what happened – I changed a color on the color scheme page, and it resulted in a nasty two-inch error message above the site. The color I changed it to was black: #000000. Using Graphene’s own color options tools.

Now, if we’re done discussing the irrevocable past, can somebody please tell me the way to center this image? I’ve only asked ten times.

Why don’t you provide a link to your site, as I have asked you on three different occasions. None of the rest of us have our slider set up like yours (apparently), so rather than my spending hours fiddling around on my end trying to guess, I can just look at your site and give you something specific. If you can’t provide that, then I can’t help you.

I don’t want you to answer. I want Syahir to answer.

No answer, no donate.

There are many people here who could and would help you but your attitude needs adjustment.

If you want Syahir to answer (in order to donate), why don’t you just forgo the donation and hire him as a consultant.

Ken is right, we can’t help you much without seeing your site, so do provide the URL to your site.

Also, those error messages are important to give us an idea of what went wrong and how we can fix it, and how we can prevent it in the future. If you see any more error messages in the future and don’t know what it means, post about it here in this forum and we can take a look. If this is a live site and you don’t want to mess it up, set up a development site and do all your development and experimentation over there.

As for the slider, I suggested that you use the “Background image and excerpt” option so that the image fills up the entire slider, so there’s no unused extra whitespace there and there’s no need to center the image as well. It will add the excerpt, button, and link to the post, but all of these can easily be removed via CSS.

Come on, this is a community forum, not enterprise support. If we only help people for the donation, trust me when I say that only a handful will receive help. Donation is just that – donations. We don’t set any precedent or any obligation on you to donate, and that’s not how things work in a community forum. You can’t “buy” our help with donations, cause that violates the open-source community spirit that forums such as this live by.

Oh, well pardon me that I’m starting to get irritable, after all my whole website just got hosed because I changed a color. (“Solid code makes for solid results”!) And now I’ve spent two days rebuilding it, and I ask a simple question, and Syahir basically brushes me off with a non-answer. And now I have to deal with you and your nonsense.

Maybe instead of the donation, I’ll just change the text in the footer to “Powered by the Graphene theme – don’t use it, it’ll break your website!”

That post was directed at Kenneth. I hadn’t seen yours, Syahir.

Give me your email address, and I’ll send you a link to the site.

If that’s what you’d like to do and it makes you feel better, that’s your prerogative.
