Love the theme, I’m having trouble setting the menu to let my home page of my business be the “Home” page and have the comments for the blog on the “Blog” page. I can set the order, and set the links to the pages, but I do not see anyway to change the “Home” page. I know this is probably a very basic isse as I am new to WordPress. Thanks for any help you may give. By the way the site is incomplete as I did not want to develop all the pages if I can’t change the “Home” page.
Thanks,

I’m using your theme and I like it!
One thing I want to change is a space between lines. I looked at style.css but couldn’t figure out how to do it.

what code do i use to add a menu button in addition to Home and About?

Hi. i want to make the sidebar a bit more narrow. I was looking at the CSS, but didn’t find any clue.
I know it must be around the .side-padds class, but i don’t understand the use of 24 div span.
I’m not a genius in html, so hope you can tell me wich things must i change to make the sidebar narrow.
Thanks, one of the best themes i’ve tried.

Hi,
I would like to change the background colour but cannot find the code line for this. Can you tell me where I can find the hex code please.
Thanks,

how do I add my own image for a header and change the outer color from green to blue?
-
@jrox2900
The header image is located here:
“your-domain.com/blog-location/wp-content/themes/vista/img/header.jpg”Either download the image using ftp or right click on the header image and in Firefox, “view background image”. Save image so you you can easily edit it. Once you’ve edited it, save it as header.jpg and upload it to the same location as the original header.jpg image.
To change the background colour, you need to edit the CSS as follow:
.main {
background:#50936D url(img/main.gif) repeat-x scroll 0 0;Change the background colour (#50936D) to whatever you want or edit the main.gif the same way as I explained how to edit the header.jpg.
A word of advice, the colour should closely match the background main.gif image. The reason being, the background colour is there in case the main.gif image fails to load.

Anyway, a part from offering advice to people on your comments section…
I just came here to grab a fresh copy of the theme since I’ve been playing around with the copy on my blog and messed a couple of bits up and have no way of back tracking my mistakes lol…
Anyway, cool theme and almost does everything I need. Just needs a few minor changes here and there to make it a bit more unique…

Hi,
Great theme!
A few questions please:
How can I change the color of the rectangle in the middle from white to something else?
Is there any way of preventing “Comments Off” from appearing at the bottom?
How can I make the whole thing (body??) appear lower?
Sorry if these are dumb questions…
Thanks in advance! -

Hi, I would like to have submenu dropdowns, where to start to make this happen? Should I install a plugin for the drop down menu and use the images or just put in my own css menu with dropdowns?

@ebflute
The problem with using plugins for your menu is that with each update of WordPress (and they happen quite frequently), you run the chance of the plugin no longer working and in turn, your site’s navigation breaking a long with the plugin. Relying on a plugin for major functionality of your blog like that just isn’t worth it since you could hard code the menu quite easily and then you know it will work, no matter how many updates WordPress goes through…

Open up the style.css file and look for the following code:
“.main {
background:url(”img/main.gif”) repeat-x scroll 0 0 #50936D;”and change it to:
“.main {
background-color:#FFFFFF;”“#FFFFFF” can be anything you like as long as it’s a valid hex code. You could also use a different background image and either call it main.gif and replace the current image, or if you rename the background image, simply change “url(”img/your-new-background.gif”).

Hello,
I’m trying to hide the blog title without removing the settings from the backoffice and without it affecting the rss feed title. Also, I want the search engines to be able to see my title. I just don’t want it to display on my site because I will be changing the header jpeg file and the title would clash with the logo. I did a little bit of research and it seems I will need to edit the css stylesheet. Not sure if this is the case for this theme, nor am I an expert at editing css. Could you please help me out?
