I need to fix these two things pertaining to URL and site layout for browsers?
-
-
Hi there,
My site does not look the same on all platforms? eg: Chrome, Firefox, Internet explorer, safari.
Can you please let me know what looks different in the different browsers? That will help me investigate this for you.
If you’d like, you can also make a screenshot of what you see in each browser. You can upload screenshots to your Media Library under Media > Add New in your dashboard, or you can use an online service like Snaggy.
How do i get my site’s url to be (https://) instead of (http://)?
WordPress.com does not support HTTPS for custom domain names. We have more details about that here: HTTPS

So for the HTTPS i kind of understand that i can set it for my computer and devices, but what about other people whom are going to look at my site will they still get a notification page that there is no certificate? If so is there a way to get a signed certificate through a third party for my custom domain, so I don’t have to worry that people will be scared away from going further and allowing to bypass the page to look at my website? I will get back to you with the screenshots at some point in the near future and its not just the browsers i feel it may have to deal with platforms such as PC vs Mac; is that possibly the problem? If so please let me know what i can do.

Ok so i don’t know what happened with the computer my mother was on looking at the site (i have pics at the bottom), but basically it looked ok on both my computers and browsers mac and pc, chrome and internet explorer. But there is this one thing that I would like to fix as well. I don’t know how to send you a screenshot but on my gallery page before it gets to my submissions it has an area that is white and says archive in it i really want to get rid of that. I just read i can upload it to my gallery and give you a url so ill add that here.
This is what my mom saw.

Ok some other things… sorry
But I am trying to add text to my gallery page (here above where its says Protech Lubricants) https://carneycreations.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/screen-shot-2014-09-25-at-3-33-50-pm.png
but it wont show up why is that?
Here is what I am doing on the page so you can understand slightly better.
https://carneycreations.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/screen-shot-2014-09-25-at-3-33-31-pm.pngI just want to make this site as easy as possible for people.
Sorry if this is all a lot but it just doesn’t make sense to me why it will not show up… also i apologize for my grammar. I went on your page and saw you’re quite the linguist so hopefully you should be able to pick up on my writing. v_v…

Hi there,
I’m going to break up my answers to your questions below — there are a few different things here, so let me know if anything is unclear. :)

WordPress.com isn’t able to support SSL certificates (includes ones signed through a third party) for custom domains. If you’re concerned about the notification people get when they access your site via HTTPS, please use an HTTP link for your site instead: http://carneycreations.com/
Ok so i don’t know what happened with the computer my mother was on looking at the site (i have pics at the bottom), but basically it looked ok on both my computers and browsers mac and pc, chrome and internet explorer.
Yep, there aren’t any problems with your site itself — it should display properly on the latest versions of popular browsers and both Macs and PCs. It’s possible that something else is going on with your mom’s computer in particular. If you’d like to troubleshoot that, I’d be happy to help. :) Just let me know.
on my gallery page before it gets to my submissions it has an area that is white and says archive in it i really want to get rid of that.
You can use Custom CSS (part of your WordPress.com Premium plan) to remove that box that says “Archives.”
To add custom CSS, go to your My Sites page and click the Customize link under the blog’s title. In the Customizer, open the CSS section and in the CSS editor there, you can enter the following CSS:
.post-type-archive-jetpack-portfolio .page-header { display: none; }That will remove that box from your gallery page. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
But I am trying to add text to my gallery page
but it wont show up why is that?The portfolio page on your site (at http://carneycreations.com/portfolio/ ) is a special page showing your portfolio projects. You can read more about that portfolio page here: Portfolios
If you want to show regular content on your gallery page, you’ll need to set it up so it’s at a different link (for example, http://carneycreations.com/gallery/ ). Otherwise, the special portfolio page will be displayed instead of the regular content. You can change the link by changing the page’s slug (the last part of the link, like “portfolio” or “gallery” in the links I just gave) in the page editor: http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/new-page-screen/#page-title-and-permalink-url
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Ok thank you i removed the archive banner by changing the links but my text will not show up before the galleries on the page. Is there a way with some code that i can block it off so it’s in its own block before my galleries on my gallery page…?

Hi there,
When you have a page using “portfolio” as the link to that page (for example, http://carneycreations.com/portfolio/ ) any content you put on that page will be replaced with a list of your portfolio projects. There isn’t a way to just add your text to that page.
Instead, you’ll need to change the link to that page to something else, like this: http://carneycreations.com/gallery/
You can change that link in the page editor: http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/new-page-screen/#page-title-and-permalink-url
Then, you can add the list of portfolio projects by adding this shortcode to the page:
[portfolio]That way you can have both your own text and the portfolio projects on the same page. That’s how the special Portfolio content type works, and you can read more about it here: Portfolios
Please let me know if you’d like any more help with that. :)
