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?

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”).

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…

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!

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…

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.
