Change appearance of WordPress/Design credits tagline

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello!

    I am wondering if anyone can help with codes for the following:

    1) I would like to get the WordPress/design-credits in the footer to appear in one line instad of two, and to change the colour. Does anyone have a code for this?

    2) I would also like to change the colour of the tagline if anyone can help out with the code.

    I will be grateful for any help!

    Since your site is private we volunteers cannot see it. We at the very least need to know what theme you are using and if you are talking about a site other than the one linked to your username, a link to that site (if it is not private).

    Thanks for answering! I’m sorry, the site is not supposed to be private, I just don’t want it to be public before it’s ready since I am going to use it as a webpage/portfolio for my small graphic design business.

    It is the site linked to my username. I am using the Bueno theme, and I have the css upgrade and have made some changes to the page.

    The credits now appear like this:

    Blog at wordpress.com
    Theme: Bueno by Woo Themes

    I would like to get it in one line and change it’s colour from white to grey.

    I would also like to change the tagline colour from white to grey,

    I hope you have , if not I can always make it public for a little while I guess.
    Thanks for your time!

    OK, on my test blog, the two sections in the footer are on one line, but one is floated left and one floated right. They are on the same line in the theme with no CSS modifications. Since I can’t see your blog, I can’t tell what other CSS change you’ve made that took it to two lines.

    As far as changing the color of the footer text, the following will do it.

    .col-full, #footer a:link, #footer a:visited {color:red; }

    Of course change “red” to your hex color choice.

    The tagline is under #description and the following will change the color.

    #description {color:red; }

    Thank you so much, that is very kind of you!
    Now I have changed the colour on both and it looks a lot better :)

    I forgot, I got this code for the credits a little while back, I guess that has something to do with it appearing over two lines:

    #credit,#copyright {
    clear:left;
    float:left;
    margin:0;
    }

    You’re welcome, and yeah, that would do it.

    I am using taht code now, and it appears on two lines. How can I edit this code to make it appear on one line? Should I just remove it?

    Thanks again!

    Since I can’t see your site, I have no clue as to what is wrong. On my text blog with standard CSS, the two text elements are on one line with one right aligned and one left aligned. That means it is something you have done in your CSS. I can’t debug it because I cannot see it. The following is the class involved, and the settings shown are for the standard theme.

    .col-full {
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 940px;
    }

    I understand the difficulty, I have made the site public now for you to see.

    I tried the code you posted. That made one appear at the left and one to the right, but still in two lines.

    I used to have a problem in Firefox with the third (right) footer widget not appearing in it’s right place. It has returned after I changed the coulour of the credits. When I changed the colour the first time, the colour of the widget also changed, so they seem to somehow connect to eachother.

    If there is any way you could help me get the credits in one line (next to eachother, not one to the left and one to the right) and see if there is anything to do to make sure the widget stays in it’s right place that would be excellent.

    Any help is highly appreciated though! Thanks a lot again for your time!

    #footer #credit {clear:none;}
    #copyright p {margin:0 5px 0 0;}

    Thank you so much! Now the credits appear next to eachother in one line.

    The only remaining problem now is that the right footer widget (rss) jumps down and to the left from it’s right place in Firefox. Does anyone how to fix that? It happened a little while ago too, and suddenly it just worked right. Very strange.

    It seems to be displaying where it should at the moment, could you post a link to a screenshot to explain what you mean?

    In my browser your blog has a horizontal scrollbar when it probably shouldn’t and it seems to be because of the header positioning. Try adding (or modifying from your original code) the lines below to fix things:

    #header {padding-left:0;}
    #logo {margin-left:50%; position:relative; left:-470px;}

    Hello again!
    Thanks for the tip! I added the code, it looks right now, doesn’t it? It does on my screen, would be great if you could bother to check, if you have the time of course.

    Here is a link to the printscreen:

    The weird thing is that the last time the footer misplacement happened it appeared right on other screens, but not on mine. I have no idea why. The printscreen shows how it looks here.

    Thanks again, I really appreciate the help! :)

    I get the third widget area showing to the right of the other two where it should be rather than positioned below which is odd. I’m using Firefox on a mac. Try making that widget area narrower and see if it gets fixed, I’m not really sure what the problem is though:

    #extended-footer .three {width:280px;}

    Excellent, that worked! Thanks a million :D
