How To Tweak or Edit Your WordPress Theme

[CustomizeWordpress]

That's pretty cool thanks. A few nifty little tricks I just learned.

[Klimatik]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video man. Not sure why there are so many negative comments when all you are doing is helping out. Keep up the good work!

[chwparker]

Dang you people had me looking forward to hearing someone with a high pitched funny voice. This guy sounds normal! Total disappointment.

Great Video Can you help me out, please make a video On how to change the Top Header Photo Thanks magicstick411@yahoo.com

[cooldogstudio]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[westnepal]

hi, can u please let me know that how can i change the main page background, is it possible to edit my theme, thanks would be so grateful for me !

[NinjaBlogSetup]

@westnepal It depends on your theme but this is usually done through your css stylesheet. Typically, you can find it by going under the appearance tab in WordPress and clicking on editor, then editing your stylesheet. Look for the background property and change it to suit your needs. Searching for "css background" in Google should help you.

[VolcanicDrum]

Very Very giving! thank you very much!!!

[ctamucci]

Thanks for this. Can you cover how to make a horizontal navbar in the header that stays at the top of the screen as the main content scrolls vertically? Looking to do this without frames. Thanks.

I don't understand how people are going to build rather complex or semi complex sites without knowing html and css. People, learn that first, because when you run on problem you really won't know what hit you.

[girlonthestreet]

how do you change image size? I use a theme (my site:) whatwomenmake is the site that has very small thumbnails below the fold and i'd like it to look like a regular blog?

[NinjaBlogSetup]

@girlonthestreet It is really hard to say without seeing your theme's code. There is most likely a bit of code somewhere in your theme files that has the pixel size of the thumbnail images. It's just a matter of finding it and increasing the pixel size.

[NinjaBlogSetup]

@Eddabed It sounds like you are talking about a favicon. Just type in "how to upload a favicon" into Google.

[imtools4you]

Another option for the last part, when placing something just ***right after the post*** - would be to put there a widgetized area, so that you can change the content whenever you like. Most importantly: without having the template files writable/editable online, which is always a huge security risk!

[714JPP]

Thanks, much appreciated.

I'm looking for the code, any recommendation where I can find it on the web?

[NinjaBlogSetup]

@714JPP Unfortunately YouTube doesn't allow urls in their comments.

Google "img src code"

[714JPP]

Thanks very much for this tutorial.

What if instead of a line of text add a graphic to sort of divide each post. I'm guessing the graphic would go inside the images folder inside the theme folder but what code can be used or please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Thanks!

[NinjaBlogSetup]

@714JPP Yes, you can do that. Unfortunately, YouTube won't let me post code in the comments so maybe I'll do another video on that later. Google img src.

[SueyBluey123]

is it free?

[NinjaBlogSetup]

Yes, there are many free themes available for WordPress.

How do I create a test template to experiment with?

Thanks very much for the vid.

[NinjaBlogSetup]

The easiest way is to just add a new theme through your WordPress dashboard, then use that theme to test and experiment with.

[wrdeboise]

Great! That makes it very easy to experiment without fear of screwing my original template up. I appreciate the quick response.

[wrdeboise]

Ok, I was using the kubric theme and now switched over to the 'classic' theme to experiment with. I'm in edit mode and want to start making changes to the style sheet. And just like in kubric, I'm getting a choice of rtl.css and style.css. Are those style sheets linked to both themes, so if I make changes to either sheet it will affect both?Maybe I should upload a complete new theme that uses a different set of stylesheets and us it. What do you think?

[NinjaBlogSetup]

@wrdeboise I've not used kubric, but I would start with style.css and if that doesn't work edit rtl.css.

[rwcprodigy325i]

Thanks so much for this video! Will be using the notes I took on my own blog now! Wish me luck!

[badjesus666]

Thanks for the video, what about a video on how to update a very old installation of wordpress say 1.6 to a new one if you have time? :-)

[Magickslider]

I just got my site a week ago and want to know what code do I use to resize my header that I made without going back into photoshop to edit it also how do I make a background large enough to fit the whole theme so it does not look funny.

[protagonistics]

That was a good shot at helping WP users understand how much HTML knowledge they should really have to accomplish their dream sites. You could make a whole darn series out of edits like this!

[Akamaru2008]

do you need to pay for that?

[SavouryFlavour]

Helpful for those who don't know code, even though the WP interface has updated since this video.

[wagtag12]

good video, thanks for taking the time to make it, very helpful, still need to know how to manipulate the sidebar.
