Please forgive me if this does not belong in coding. I've spent some time checking this issue out and this is where I believe the changes have to be made but I am not sure.

I have a client whose wordpress themed blog needs some changes. She would like the title of the blog to be moved to the other side of the page and she would like to remove or find out the option to edit the Asides section of the blog.

I checked all widgets and sections to see if this had an easy change but I believe that the changes need to be made in the CSS stylesheet which is where I found the category for the Asides and in the header php. None of which I know how to fool with. Even then, I don't know how to edit the Asides section even if she was going to keep the feature.

The site is here

Regards,

Janine

I can help with the "asides" problem.
The Asides and Flicker items in the sidebar are basically placeholders until you choose a widget or two to add. Just add a widget to left_sidebar and those two will disappear.

Hopefully someone else can come up with the header info.

To move the page title (and tagline under it) go to the styles.css file.

To move the page title:

Find the code I bolded (using the Edit > Find feature of your browser makes this easier to search for it):

#title h1 {
<...removed my other code.......>
float:left;
}

Change float:left; to float:right;

To move the tagline under it:

Find this line of code:

#tagline h2 {
<...removed my other code.......>
float:left;
}

Change float:left; to float:right;

ETA: Click on Update File to save your changes. Then, view the page (you might need to refresh to see your changes). The title and tagline should be on the right.

As far as the Asides area, without actually seeing her admin area, I'm not sure on that. I am thinking that that area should be directly editable without going into the css - that is if it is just the content you want to change.

HTH a bit,

Hi Jules...Thanks for the reply. There is no #title h1 in the CSS stylesheets. I did a find several times (title, #title) and no #tagline in the style.css either. I see h1 but nothing about left or right. I also went into the header php and found title but nothing to float left or right. Any other thoughts? Thank you so much!

Christina, Thank you very much. I'll add a widget as you suggest.

Janine, you want to pm or email me the code from the CSS? Maybe I can spot it that way.

ETA: Hold off on that, I'll look at the code from my browser.

It looks like there is a 'relative' position set for the header area, with no positioning for the title since it is in the header. Boy, since I'm newish to WP, without changing a bunch of other CSS code, I'm stumped. You could maybe do something with this to add absolute positioning:

h1 a (line 9)
{
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}

But this might really mess things up, since this is a link.

Sorry! Maybe someone with more experience with WP could look at the CSS and help?

Thank you, Jules! I appreciate looking that up for me. I always think of these tasks as ways to learn something new. If I get the solution, I'll post it here.

You could try adding to this to the above code (you can always remove it if it messes things up ):

position: absolute;
top: 50px; /*or however many px it takes to get it where ya want it this sets how far from the top of the page*/
left: 200px; /*or however many px it takes to get it where ya want it - this moves it to the FROM the left to the right*/

The same could be done for the tagline, but with different top/left px amounts.

Fun, ain't it?

Yes, if you find a solution, please post it.

I can move that over to the right but I can't explain how to do so succinctly without confusing you since I don't know precisely what the code in your header looks like.

If you are willing to PM me the log in (or give me a temp one) I can jump in there tomorrow and fix this for you.

Basically I would either add a line of code to the style sheet forcing the alignment change (where depends on your code) or go into the header and add do it there.

Jodie may have the answer for you, Janine. But in the meantime, it's important for clients to understand that a Theme is a set design, and often it's not easy to hack it. That's why you select the design in the first place - because it looks like what you want, with the title on the left or whatever. So if the client's unhappy with the design, easiest thing to do may be to send 'em to theme listings and let 'em chose a new one.

Actually I specialize in customizing a theme to suit the client. I can it look totally different that what you start with.

I mostly use Studio Press theme's and customize them to suit. They are easy to work with and have a lot of great built in functionality.
