    In reply to: Underlined inline date bug? (ONLY on Firefox)

    #17253

    The purpose of the <abbr> element is to provide additional information to the readers. In the case of WordPress, if you hover over the date, it shows both the date and the time the post was published. The dotted underline indicates that it is not a hyperlink, but it does provide additional information to the reader.

    You can read more about this functionality here.

    That said, not everybody who publishes on the web likes this, because most people who read blog posts are completely unaware of what the dotted underline means. You can read more about this here.

    If you don’t like it, Kreachure’s code will work beautifully.

    Cheers! and remember, GIYF!

    In reply to: Change the Color of the BlockQuotes

    #17250

    This is the CSS that controls the style of the block quotes:

    blockquote {
    background: url(images/sprite_master.png) left -475px no-repeat #f3f3f3;
    border: 1px dotted #e3e3e3;
    clear: both;
    margin: 10px 0 10px 20px;
    padding: 8px 18px 5px 32px;
    }

    Copy and paste this into your custom CSS:

    blockquote {
    background: url(address of your new image) #ffffff;
    border:none;
    }

    instead of #ffffff, use whatever color you would like. You can find a good color picker here.

    border:none eliminates the border.

    You can create whatever you like for a background image using Photoshop, GIMP or something similar. Upload it to your media gallery and copy the URL from there and pasted it into the parentheses above. Be sure to include the http:// bit. Mischief managed.

    Good luck and welcome aboard.

    #17217

    It’s a 404 (file not found) error. It looks like you might have an issue with your permalinks. You might want to take a look at this article in the WordPress Codex:

    I would like my content to expand across the entire browser.

    Actually, this has been discussed a lot in this forum. Do a search on “width” and you should find posts to help you. It is just a matter of swapping out width values in the stylesheet, plus one addition to your functions file to change the size of the header.

    You should really do this in a child theme, as well. Except for simple changes to the custom CSS, any other changes really should be part of a child theme.

    Go to Appearance >> Background

    Click on “Remove Background Image”

    In “Display Options” enter #e3e3e3 in the box labeled “Color”

    Click “Save Changes”. Mischief managed!

    Good luck and welcome aboard.

    Be sure you are adding this to custom CSS or a child theme, though. Don’t change the theme’s core files!

    In reply to: using slider for images only

    #16956

    Try adding this to your custom CSS:

    .slider-entry-wrap {display:none} and setting your slider options to display “thumbnail and excerpt”

    Good luck and welcome aboard!

    Go to the Media Gallery and delete them from there. That should take care of the problem.
