I cannot log in to my dashboard nor open my website. I have an error 500 page when trying. HELP !
This is the problem I am having at this time. I am not able to login to my wordpress Admin. because of the http 500 error and am not able to update any plugins or themes. I have Godaddy for my hosting. Can anyone tell me anything that may help? Thanks LaDonna
I'd create a site support ticket and detail the issues your having so they can get on it. They're usually pretty quick about it.
Sounds like it's down! Contact support and they can get it back up for you: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

Hi, community! I'm unable to get the widgets to go away on my 1st site, Wordpress, any suggestions? Best wishes on your own success!
To remove a widget have you tried going into the customizer and deleting them? If they're on the right or left sidebar you'd go into that area of the customizer, find the widget you want to delete, then click on it and click delete or remove.

I want to remove the search bar in the header part of my site. It'S included in the theme but I don't want it
I realise this is an old question but I had the same issue and didn't find any other posts on it so wanted to share my solution incase it helps others.
The problem is that there is a search bar in the header which is coded as part of the theme. It isn't a widget that you can remove in the usual way.
Here is the solution I found.
_________________________________________________________
Within Appearance>Customise there should be a feature to add Custom CSS - it may be called extra settings or something similar. From here you can add a simple line of code to hide the search bar using the { display: none; } tag
For example for my theme I simply typed in:
.search-area { display: none; }
If this exact string does not work for you, check the page source of your site in your browser and find what the search field is called in your theme
So within the header code of my site I found mine was called 'search-area' - it may be something like 'searchbar', 'searchfield' or even just 'search'.
so for example you would write
.searchbar { display: none; }
.searchfield { display: none; }
etc.
Once you add the code, the view of you site should update. Check the page looks how you want and save your changes.
You can easily come back and delete or modify the code at a later date if you need to.
I hope I have explained this clearly and it can be useful to some other members.
I just loaded up that theme on one of my sites and removed the "search" widget - but the search bar is still there as you said.
I looked at some other places where it would be possible to remove it and could not find a way to do it. It looks like this is built into the theme and you would need to manipulate the code to make it go away.
I am not an expert in messing around with code so I don't want to advise you something that may break your site. :-(

Thank you so much for your help! very nice! hopefully someone will figure it out. thanks again!
If you click on 'Appearance' --> 'Widgets' in the main menu of your Wordpress dashboard, you will probably see in one of the 'Footer Widget Areas' a box with the word 'Search' in it. Click on it and click on 'delete' and it should go away :)
Hi, look in your Appearance -> Widgets. Maybe it's in your Header section for Widgets. You can delete it if you don't want it.

I want to customize the title of a page. The page editor allows to customize the text but not the title. How can I change the colour, size etc of the title? thank you !!
It's not possible to change the color/size of an individual title without editing the code for that specific page.
Keep in mind, color/size of your title will have a VERY low impact on reader retention and sales. Just don't want to see you waste too much time trying to do this!
It depends on the theme. Free themes usually don't offer much in the way of customizing. Look in Appearance > Theme > Options.
If there is no theme option, you will need to do it in the css code.
Go to Appearance->Editor->style.css find ".page-title a" and change font-size and font-weight.
Nathaniell's tutorial, although not specifically for page titles will give you a basic understanding. Change Font Size in Wordpress (OMG Code!) ~Jude
Some themes offer this option - usually paid themes. The titles are set in the coding of themes, so it would have to be changed there if you want to change the font size, color, etc.
If your theme does not have options to change it in the Appearance Options setting, then you can do it:
Either with custom CSS (if your theme offers this), or you can go to Appearance->Editor->style.css find ".page-title" and change font-size and font-weight and/or font color.
Steph has a tutorial on basic CSS that might help with that: Learn the Basics of CSS If you're new to this and starting out, consider putting this in the "learn later" category. Don't spend too much time on "appearance" and site design -- content is more important in the early stages.

On the left, in Editor:
Click Pages / All pages
Click the title of the page you want to edit
Click in the heading, then delete the text and write the text you prefer
Save the page.
If it doesn't work, let me know.
Cheers!
Hi Jess. Thank you so much for this info. I'm relatively new, and a total website klutz! I typed in my question how to change title, and the answers were enough to send me screaming! They were talking.. Code.. My worst nightmare! Then I came upon your answer, made so easy it was pure gold. Thank you so much. Jan

There'S a Recent Posts line on my home page and i'd like to remove it. Is there a way to do that ? thank you for your help.
It depends on your theme, but it's likely you would have to go into your theme's code and remove the line of code.
If you are talking about the sidebar widget that says "recent posts", then @gusimus below is correct.
Go to customize, click widgets, click right sidebar, click on recent posts and go to the bottom of the window and hit remove, hope this helps

I have a theme with a slider on the home page. I'like to display some of my popular or latest posts on the slider. does someone know how to do that ?
It depends on the theme, but many sliders only use PAGES. The Differences Between Posts & Pages You can probably find the slider options under Appearance somewhere in your WP dashboard area. Let us know if you find it!
Hi Lauriane, different theme has different ways how to incorporate posts on the slider. What is your theme name?
Can we add our latest posts in the home page slider ?
