Does title of front page have to show???

  • Unknown's avatar

    How can I change the attributes (e.g., centering, font size) on the title of my front page? Either that or can I change something so that the title does not show up on my front page?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The text can be centered, but then what do you want to do with the logo? It will look strange hung off the left end of the centered text.

    If we hide the text, what do you want to do with the logo? Without the text, how many are going to know the logo by sight? Is there enough “branding” built up for the logo that visitors, if they happen upon the site are going to know what it is?

    Sorry, I didn’t explain my problem properly. Let me have another try at it.
    The header looks great. My problem is on the text of the front page. The title of the front page of the website used to be “Welcome.” However, it showed up on the website. I didn’t want that and couldn’t figure out how to hide it. So, I tried to incorporate it into the text of the front page. I changed the title to “Welcome to the” but now my page looks like this:

    Welcome to the

    MOBILE JEWISH FEDERATION

    Our mission is to …,……………………etc.

    Is there a way to center “Welcome to the” and change it’s font? If not, can I do something so the “Welcome to the” doesn’t even show & then I’ll add it to the text?

    I hope this makes sense. I hate be a novice!!! Oh well, I’ll learn as I go.

    Thanks.

    Oops, I just realized that the lines “MOBILE JEWISH FEDERATION” AND “Our mission….” should look centered.

  • Unknown's avatar

    This will center it on this page only.

    .page-id-5 .page-title {
    text-align: center;
    }

    This will hide it.

    .page-id-5 .page-title {
    display: none;
    }

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It worked perfectly.

    I have a question about line breaks on the footer. Do you think I should start a new thread?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Nah, we can handle it here. What about them?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I put the organization’s name, address, etc. in footer 1. I’m trying to understand why part of the address moved to the first line. The same thing happened with subsequent lines. Also, I’m trying to change the background color of the footer.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You have to manually put breaks in where you want them. What I’m seeing when I view the source on the widget is one long string of text and the widget is using text wrapping.

    To advance a line without it putting a paragraph break (blank line in between) press shift-return and that will give you a standard line break.

    If that does not work, then delete what you have in the text widget and paste the following into it and then make sure the “keep paragraphs” checkbox is selected and click the save button.

    And replace the “email redacted” with your email address. The system here automatically redacts email addresses to keep them from getting hit with billions of spams.

    Let me see if I understand. When I typed the contents of footer 1, I did it in the text box that came up when I dragged the text section to the right side where it said “footer 1.” Do I now have to go into the CSS & write the code?

    Also, how to I change the background color of the footer?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Sorry, I replied before reading your entire response.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Your suggestion of deleting what I had in the footer text box & putting in the substitution did the trick. Thanks.

    Now I just need to change the background color.

    Do I put the attributes for changing the background color in the widget text box?

  • Unknown's avatar

    This does just the widget background.

    #text-3 {
    background-color: red;
    padding-bottom: 1px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    padding-top: 10px;
    }

    This does the left widget area (first) with a background.

    #first {
    background-color: red;
    padding-top: 10px;
    }

    I forgot my code tags on the top bit.

    #text-3 {
    background-color: red;
    padding-bottom: 1px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    padding-top: 10px;
    }

    I got it to work on the footer 1 only. I’m having trouble with getting the color all the way across all the footers.

  • Unknown's avatar

    You had nothing in the other footer areas. I targeted just the widget that you had. I didn’t know you wanted them all.

    #footer {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #CC0000;
    }
    
    #footer #copyright {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
    }
