Is there a plain theme that one can use here in WA? Have any of the contributors written one? What I mean is a theme that pretty much leaves it up to the user to do what he/s

Thanks again Harry, and everyone else. I'll check in on that lesson ASAP.

HEY DALE, IDD YOU GET SORTED? XOOXOX

I'm still working on it, but I'm making some progress. :)

Hi, as leomery says, you can do anything you want with a theme providing it has the basics you need. Below is the theme (Image 1) I use for one of my sites that had the basics I required, and how I changed it to what I required (Image 2).

You may also find my training: helpful.

Thanks for the info. I'm pleased that we are able to modify the themes. That's a big help.

Any wordpress theme can be changed to the way you want - just find one that has the basic layout and modify it to your needs

There's not one that I know of, butt if you're interesting in coding your own theme, you can learn more about this in the WordPress Codex.

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. Cheers :)

I would like to have all my posts show up on my home page in the sidebar.

Then to have your latest posts be displayed on the side bar, go to "Appearance". Then, "widgets". Then drag a widget "Recent Posts", to the right (side bar) as shown in this photo.

Thanks Coach, I got it solved. :)

;-))

glad you got sorted

Al typing for Tania

Go to "settings". Then go to "reading". Then make sure the settings are set to "your latest posts" as shown in this photo.

If I create pages or posts at WordPress.org, can I import them here to wA?

I often write my posts in a Word document and then copy and paste it into my blog.

Dale, I am a bit confused why not create them in WordPress here?

Yes of course content can be created here but for those English is not their language and they can not write in a flow or they have someother problems they can write somewhere else and then transfer their data here. Read author Whitsunday, tutorial Google Docs Offline

You can copy and paste your document into WP. It is best if you use the copy as text function to get rid of the google docs formatting.

thanks for that Tim :-))

This should help

Could I ask why you are trying to connect using ftp. Is it for site verification?

Yes, it is for the google-site-verification. html. I was doing it on recommendation from one of the other mentors. If it's not needed then I won't carry on with it.

there is a much easier way to do this

I would like to know how to put page links on the bottom of my page instead of in the menu. Specifically, "About Me, Contact Us, Privacy Policy." I want them all on the botto

Try this:

Log into your Wordpress Dashboard
Click on 'Appearance' in the main menu
Click on 'Menus'
Click on 'Manage Locations'
Beside 'Footer Navigation', select the name of your menu
Click 'Save Changes'

See if it worked.

I did that and it put all my page links there. Is it possible to specify which ones?

you may have to make another menu with the pages you want in it - add menu in the menu tab
then add this second menu to the footer - if your theme will allow multiple menus - some don't
have fun
phil

Thanks Phil, I'll give it a try :)

good luck
ask questions if you get stuck - don't forget to tell us which theme you have
also it may be worth experimenting with one of the free sites before trying it out on your main site - do a bavkup before you try a major event on either the test site or your main site !!
have fun
phil

It worked! Thanks a bunch :)
