When I resize the browsers window my login form does start to cover some of the background image at about the half way point. Also I can see that the form is slightly higher on IE than Firefox. I don't know what else I could possibly do to fix this, I'm already using percentages.
-
Is there anyway to test a login page for responsiveness? I know there are website where you can test a page for responsivess across different size screens, but none of them will show my login page for some reason. I have my login form thingy on a specific spot on the screen relative the image that covers the background. While it does look good on my screen size, I don't know if it looks good on other screen sizes, it might be covering a different part of the background image. I am using percentages for the padding to situate the login form from the top and left side of the page. I'm not sure if that would always keep it on the same part of the image regardless of the screen size or not.

This theme is not getting anymore updates.

I don't know why Inspect Elements told me there was a div class called "menu-top-menu-container" because there isn't. I have searched every single file using my browsers search tool and that just doesn't exist anywhere.
-
I don't know why but it wouldn't work when I added body tags and the closing div tag. It also wouldn't work unless I put it between the closing head tag and the body tag. So I just stuck with this... <div class="wrapper"> And that's where I put it - it's the only way I could get it to work. Then I put this at the end of my style.css... .wrapper {margin: 0 auto;max-width: 955px;padding: 0px;background:#849a7c;} body { background-image: url("images/FullBGOpt.jpg"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; border-radius: 10px; } Oddly the 0px padding is a little more than I wanted, which makes me wonder why it's so thick for Opx. Then I realized I could take the max-width down. I tried to round the corners of the wrapper but border-radius doesn't seem to be working. Any idea why?
-
I have searched through all of my themes files, and footer.php is the only one that has a body tag. It has the closing body tag - </body> but not the opening tag. Header.php doesn't have an opening body tag like this <body> but it does have one in php like this <body <?php body_class(); ?>> So I assume this is the opening body tag? Anyhow, I notice that my green wrapper code will only work right if I put it before this body code. If i put it in the body then the wrapper only goes around the header area. And this code: <body background="images/FullBGOpt.jpg"> doesn't work no matter where I put it.
-
Clearly I'm doing something wrong. Neither my header.php or footer.php have a <body> section in html. I guess that makes sense since they are php files it would be in php. Anyway, after the closing header tag I inserted this code... <html> <body background="images/FullBGOpt.jpg"> <div class="wrapper"> </body> </html> I put my background image in my theme's image folder because I don't know what the file path would be if I had it in my media library. Anyway, I put this code at the bottom of my style.css file: .wrapper {margin: 0 auto;max-width: 1000px;padding: 20px;background:green;} This part of the code is working, but it's not showing my image in the background. Does that part of the code need to be in php or something?

When using Inspect Elements it shows the main window and css/styling in the right window. In the styling window it shows what lines the css is on. But, the main windows doesn't tell you what file it's showing. I need to know what file it's showing. I click to inspect the navigation bar because I want to make some changes to it. And I can see in the main window that the categories listed on my nav bar are in an unordered list (ul) inside a div class called menu-top-menu-container. But what files is that in? What file is Inspect Elements showing me? I search for menu-top-menu-container and almost all of my theme files, but can not find it. I searched inside header.php, footer. php, styles.css, functions.php, index.php, and just about all the rest. Can someone tell me what file that is in please.

I don't want create a child theme right now, it would just increase my confusion. Maybe later. Where would these files go:
-
So I'm guessing this part of the code will go in index.php? Is that right? That's where I would think it would go but I'm not seeing any body tags in that file. No, but this theme isn't getting anymore updates so I'm not worried about losing my changes to an update. I probably should have created a child theme anyway, but now it would be a pain because I already made a few changes.
-
Would is be cheaper for me to find someone locally, or to find someone online somewhere like fiver? And would it be cheaper to get all these things done separately or all at once?

Update: If you look at this image of my website, I have one background image which is dark green and says ACIM on it, and the light green that goes behind all the stuff in the middle of the screen is also part of the same background image. That was a mistake because it will look funny on different screen sizes. So I figure it's probably better to put everything in a container as they call it, and make that container light green. Then I can set the dark green image with text as the background. I have made that image a lot bigger and was planning on using css to make it cover the whole screen whatever the screen size. But, I'm not sure how to put everything (posts, nav bar, header pic, footer pic, sidebar widgets) into a container that I can make light green. How would I do that? What files would I have to change? Could someone point me in the right direction. I don't even know what to search in Google to figure it out.

It's suppose to go to the log in screen, that's what I want it to do. I did temporarily remove the code that makes the site private, but I put it back yesterday. I didn't see any of that, but it probably had to do with me accidentally removing a part of code I wasn't suppose to in my header.php file when I temporarily removed my code that makes the site private. I guess you have more confidence in me than I do. If I built a theme myself I'd probably have more problems than I currently do.

I thought I was using the same color, I guess I wasn't. Thanks for pointing that out. I got that fixed. What if I use css to make it cover the whole viewport? Would I still need to make the back ground image bigger? Btw, how do i determine the file path of my image to add it to my css code. It's in the media library at http://www.acimsnowlandsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/BGopt.jpg I'm not sure why it would be. I did somehow accidentally delete the <php? at the top of my header.php file, but I got that fixed now. My site seems to do okay adjusting to different screen sizes on http://responsivedesignchecker.com.

Today I've been trying to create a background pic for my website (dark green with text on it). But when I tile it vertically (one of the options in my theme) you can see the edge of the pic where it meets the edge of the next pic further down. Is there anyway to get rid of that edge so it all looks smooth and blends together the way the lighter green does? Also when you hold down the Ctrl button and move the mouse will to zoom in and out of your screen you can see that my background stops. Which will probably show on some screen sizes. Should I make the background pic wider? I made it 1263 because that's what Inspect elements told me it was. www.acimsnowlandsclassroom.com

Is it just me, or is that bloody confusing? I guess "Times New Roman" is quoted because it has two spaces between the three words?
-
My font family look like this: font-family: Vidaloka, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; Why is Times New Roman the only one with quotation marks around it?
-
I'm trying to change the font on my website, and I'm using Inspect Elements to figure out where in the code (the lines) I can find the font color, family and style. But, the Editor in Wordpress doesn't show the lines. I have Notepad++ and Brackets code editors, but how do you connect them to your site's style sheet? Or do you download a copy of the styles sheet and open it in an editor. How does that work?
-
Wow, I had no idea it would cost that much or take that long. I figured all of that would be easy work for experienced coders. I thought it would cost between $50 and $100.
-
True but the office work will likely have someone higher up keeping an eye on them. Anyway I think i will try to explain what I want done here so maybe you guys can give me an idea what it might cost me. 1. I want a text link in my sidebar via a text widget to open a lightbox when clicked. I want the light box to open some text. So the text link will say "Lesson Text" for example, and the lightbox will open the text for the current lesson. I have tried a few plugins that can supposedly do this, but I kept having issues with them. I want it to have a set width and height and the ability to scroll down. I want the rest of the screen to go dark when the lightbox opens. I want the X that closes the window to be in the top right corner. I want the window's border to be colored to match the color of my site. 2. I also want a Youtube video to open in a lightbox when you click on a thumb nail pic of the video. I also want this thumb nail video pic to be in my sidebar, probably via a text widget like the other lightbox. I want this lightbox to be like the other one accept this one will have a video instead of text. 3. On my main navigation bar of my website I have 7 categories. I want two of them to go to the right side of the navigation bar, leaving a space between them and the other 5 categories which are on the left side of the navigation bar. 4. My site has space on the left and right sides of the main content. I would like to make use of that empty space to make the site look nicer. For simplicity sake, lets say that main content area is 900px, and the two sides are each 200px. So the whole width of the website is 1300px. I would like to make the whole 1300px be like a background image that lies behind the main 900px area. as if the main 900px area set on top of it. Ok, that's good for now. Can anyone give me some kind of idea how much I should expect to pay for these tasks?
-
I don't really want to go into detail right now, it kind of hard to put into words. I would probably have to use pictures to explain what I want done. I don't really like the idea of paying someone per hour since they could always lie about how long it took. I'd rather pay a set fee for the job - can you not do that on fiver? And is that the best place to go to? I'm not really looking for a designer so much, more like a coder that can do what I want.

Is there any way to change the background color of a page using Inspect Element? I realize that Inspect Element doesn't actually make changes to the page, it just shows you what a color would look like. I just want to see what my background color would look like with other colors, but I can't seem to change the background color. When I try to select the background it ends up selecting something else since it breaks the page down into blocks.
-
Ok, I got it. It was in theme options, which I didn't have access to from the Wordpress Editor.
-
It does mention the color scheme options in functions.php, so I added the code for my new color scheme there as well: But, it still isn't giving me the option to choose the new color scheme. I used my browser search tool to search all the other theme files for "color" and I don't see anything else that seem relevant. What do you mean by "admin files"?
