I have set a new web page up and would like to get some content in it to fill it up. I know Google doesnt like copying and pasting, but what if i copied of my old site to my ne

I would copy and keep new post in draft, then make the old post empty and then fetch it so empty, wait a few days to be sure that Google knows it is empty, and then remove. I did this way with a couple of posts.

Can I copy and paste from another site?

I have set a new site up and want to alter the look of the name. It called mountain escapes and if you look at the page the 'M' in Mountain is red and larger text. I would like

In looking at your site, it looks to me like it's theme related. Are you familiar with CSS because I have a feeling that might be the only way to manipulate the E in escapes to look like the M in mountain.

I can try and look at the CSS for you and see if I can find anything.

Thank you, i will have a look, where would i find it?

ive found it, just need to know what to change

The CSS class that you're looking for is called "logo-title" and there is also "logo-title small". I'm not sure what you want to change though.

I am trying to set up microsoft office so i can use it to send and receive my emails instead of the program that WA offers. Is this possible?

I think I've set it up, can now receive mail but can't send it. Keep getting error 533 popping up

Hi IanCooper. What is the message associated with error 533?

its says

your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: Filesystem notification initialization error -- contact your mail administrator (check for configuration errors with the FAM/Gamin library)

which makes no sense to me at all.

Thanks

i can receive mail ok but when i try and send i get the following:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: test
Sent: 20/10/2015 20:00

The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:

info@wrexham-builders.co.uk on 20/10/2015 20:00
Server error: '553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)'

thanks

Hi IanCooper. I've seen some suggestions that say to solve this problem, change your outgoing SMTP port from 25 to 587.

tried that one. still doesnt work. ive read somewhere that is something to do with WA blocking something. not sure if thats true or not, but ive tried everything.

Hi IanCooper. What version of MS Outlook are you using?

It's Microsoft office 2010

Hi IanCooper. Try this. You can skip to the resolutions section near the bottom of the page:

Thank you very much, will have a look. Wish me luck. :)

Hi IanCooper. You're welcome. If it doesn't work, let me know, and I'll be glad to help further.

see it has been covered hope it all goes well

You'll just need to configure your MS Outlook with your website's server info.

Totally, that is how I work.

Hi IanCooper. Yes. You can configure MS Outlook to work with any email address. Are you using MS Outlook?

Hi, I have just changed my theme to Enigma and cant figure out how to put certain pages on the header. If i write a page and publish it, it automatically appears on the header,

Where would you like the pages to appear? Typically pages will go to your top menu and posts will appear on your blogroll, on the main page

http://hikingequipmentreviews.co.uk/ if you look at the site, I would like to have a description of the people I have in the Meet the team section. so when people click on the photo/ link they will be taken to description about that person. but i dont want them just as a page on the header.
Thanks

IAn.

Where do you want the description of the people in team section to appear?

if you hover over the picture you will see a link button. i want to just write a page about that certain individual so that when the link is pressed that page comes up. but at the moment if i publish a page it appears in the menu at the top.

I think you want to do that by going to "appearance" > "theme options" and copy paste the link to each person's description to the right "button" (picture)

i have tried that but the page still appears on the top menu as well, which is what i dont want. I cant find a way of choosing which pages appear or dont appear on the top menu. Also there doesnt seem to be an option for drop downs of apage in the header, which is what i used to be able to do on my old theme. sorry to be a pain. :)

some themes don't have dropdown menus but Nathaniell made a training on how to make a drop down menu anyway, when your theme won't allow it

Hi Ian,

Its a matter of going to Appearance tab then Menus and creating a custom menu.

From there you will see two tabs. One is "edit menus". You can choose to create a new menu from here. This will let you choose which pages or posts you want to show in the top menu of your theme and which ones you don't. Give it a name and save it when you're done.

Then you need to go click on the second tab there on that screen named "manage locations". From there you would select the custom menu that you made for the top menu. Some themes have two menu display locations listed there. One usually says top so that displays at the top of your page. The other one will display just under the header if you have two. So just choose your custom menu from the drop down box where you want it to display.

Then click save changes and you're done.

Cheers,
Lori

And the way to get drop Downs in the menus is by creating pages that are sub pages of your Parent page. What I mean by that is, let's say one of the menu items you want to display is a "our staff" page. But you want when people mouse over it a drop down menu displays your employee names. Such as "Bob Peters" or "Mary Kay" listed there and when you click on one you get directed to their respective page. That's called "nesting" your pages and it's easy to do.

Example:

You build the "Our Staff" page. By default it will be a parent page and show up in your menu once you click "Publish".

Now when you build "Bob Peters" page scroll down before you publish it. You should see "Page Attributes". Click just under where it says "Parent". Its a drop down box that has "No Parent" as the default. Choose instead your "Our Staff" page and click Publish. That Bob Peters page will be nested under "Our Staff" on your menu bar and only visible when someone mouses over it.

If your page is already built you can still nest it by doing these steps and click update when you're done. It will remove Bob's page from your menu and nest it under "Our Staff" if that makes sense.

Let me know how it goes: )

Hi Thanks, that seen to have worked in the footer menu but not in the header menu.

Hi Thanks, that seen to have worked in the footer menu but not in the header menu. I think the theme just doesnt do what i want it to do to be honest. Will have to have a look around.

I think ive sorted it thanks, took a while for e to work out how to do it though.

i have installed a new them, called inferno, i have tried chaging it to my web site name and it is staying as inferno. I am getting no help off here at all. I thought this was

Thanks both of you. was just getting really frustrated with the new theme

You're welcome, and I understand, some themes can be tricky to work with! Can you manage to make your own logo? If not here is some useful training. :)

I see you've had all the questions you've asked, answered and this is the first time I've seen you ask this particular one. Why do you think you aren't getting help, I'm happy to answer any questions if I can. :)


To answer your question, go to Appearance - Customize, then theme, general options. In there, you need to upload your own website logo, which gets rid of "Inferno".

Let me know if you need screenshots.

The reason you can't change the name of your website is because it's a logo photo. I know it's written "Inferno" but it's actually an image. I just changed it out to another picture. Here is a screenshot.

Take it easy. I will have a look at it for you.
