  Hi. I put in two text widgets are only for the homepage. That part is fine but on the other pages, there’s a search, meta, log out and site admin widgets or links that I can’t get rid of. For the search part, I tried to remove the field but it removed the fields on my contact page and I didn’t want that. Is there a way to get rid of those?

  Also, how do I customize the widget titles (About Me and Specialty) as far as changing the font and font size?

  Thank you in advance.

  If you drag a blank text widget into the problem widget area the default widgets will no longer show up. And here’s the code to modify your widget titles:

  .wf-active .widget-title {
    color:#f00;
    font-size:22px;
  }

  Hi @hallluke:

  Both your suggestion to put a blank text widget into the widget area and the code for customizing the widget titles, worked perfectly. Thank you very much.

  Another quick question:

  How would I put in a big, full-size image or graphic into a page? In the past I tried uploading a PDF file but that only gave me a link.

  There are a couple of options here:

  • Your theme might have a full-width page template which you could make use of.
  • You can embed a PDF with the Scribd or Google Apps shortcodes.
  • Or you could create an image gallery and enable the carousel view which would give you giant image sizes when clicked on.

  I chose my file and chose the “Full Size 1275×1664” option under the “Attachment Display Settings” in the Insert Media window. Thank you for your suggestions.
