  Hello

  I am new to wordpress and regretting it already. I have a few questions:

  1. How do I access my full CSS sheet to add and remove items? I can only see the holding card in the customisation screen.

  2. All my posts have duplicate images – I only want one, obviously, per post. How do I get rid of the duplication?

  3. On my pages I want to remove the side bar of recent posts, sidebar, meta. How do I do this?

  Anyway, if anyone can suggest a better theme for me, please do. I am a make up artist and just want a very simple website to show my work and products. Photos only really, not blog style. I also want to menu to be out in a line, like in Hatch, not in a drop down.

  If I could access the CSS I could do this! :(

  Thank you!

  Hi there,

  1. How do I access my full CSS sheet to add and remove items? I can only see the holding card in the customisation screen.

  The best way to make changes on your CSS is by using the Developer tool of your browser. If you’re using Chrome for example, you can find this tool by clicking anywhere on your site (your header for example) right clicking and selecting “Inspect Element”. On the right side you’ll see the CSS corresponding to the area you selected. For other browsers, check out this link: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/css-selectors/
  Once you identify the section of CSS you want to change, you can paste that in your CSS customizer. More information here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/

  3. On my pages I want to remove the side bar of recent posts, sidebar, meta. How do I do this?

  This depends on your theme. Some themes allows you to use a full width template with no sidebars. Since you’re blog is private, I cannot see what theme you’re using, but you can check your theme’s specifications in wordpress.com/themes

  You can select to use a “page” as your front page instead of your latest posts. To do this, go to WP Admin> Settings > Reading, and select a page to be shown as your front page.

  As to your #2 – some themes offer a Featured Image option, and if you use it, that will produce two images on a post. Hatch is one of those themes. Try cancelling the Featured Image option and just leave the image in the post.

  Hi guys!

  Thanks very much for your help :) I really appreciate it! I had no idea about the “Inspect Element” tool – amazing!

  A further question: how do I justify the alignment of the Author Bio (the bit of text on the left under the header title)? It’s currently left aligned, but I’d like it squared. Tried a few bits of code, but nothing is working.

  Thank you!

  Hi there, to justify the bio text to the left, add the following, but as you will see, it doesn’t make a lot of difference. Word spacing is calculated based on the width of the area the text is in, and if the line length is shorter than a certain percentage of that width, it will not justify that line since the word spacing would be too wide for easy reading.

  #author-bio {
      text-align: justify;
  }

  See what you think.
