#nav .menu .page-item-2 a { text-indent:-999em; background:url("IMAGE_URL"); width:XXpx; height:XXpx; padding:0; display:block;}

I'm trying to set my menu to replace text with graphics at menu item, like you did by the posts above.

I used the code posted by hallluke, just changing the name of menu item (page-item-2) where I want the replace occur, exactly like that:

#access .menu .page-item-2 a { text-indent:-999em; background:url("http://fleurdepains.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/fdp_titre_presentation.gif"); width:226px; height:36px; padding:0; }

So, no changes occured. I cannot see any difference after add that code.

I'm using the theme Vigilance, and made the code change at the Editing CSS Page, but I still don't have bought the permission to save changes do CSS. I'm just using the Preview mode, before buy it.

Would anyone help me, please?

Thanks also for the explanation of the code so that I understand what's going on.

Cheers

The other two blocks of code will fix the site sub-heading and the widget titles. They all follow the same method of indenting the text so it disappears off screen and then using a background image. If you want to change anything else this way you just need to look through the source code to find the element you want to modify.

I hope this helps.

#access .menu .page-item-10 a {text-indent:-999em; background:url("http://fleurdepains.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/fdp_titre_presentation.gif"); width:226px; height:36px; padding:0;}

#site-description {text-indent:-999em; background:url("http://fleurdepains.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/lessentielauquotidien.jpg") no-repeat top center; height:34px;}

#pages-2 h3 {text-indent:-999em; background:url("http://fleurdepains.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/fdp_titre_magasins.gif") no-repeat left center; height:23px;}
#recent-posts-3 h3 {text-indent:-999em; background:url("http://fleurdepains.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/fdp_titre_articles.gif") no-repeat left center; height:23px;}

I would greatly appreciate help on any of the following three points:

- Item 1
Menu items: With Cutline, the text of a menu item was apparently
replaced by a graphic using code like this in the custom CSS:

#post-10 h2 {
text-indent:-1000em;
background:url('http://fleurdepains.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/fdp_titre_presentation.gif')
no-repeat 0 0;
height:36px;
padding-bottom:0;
}

The above code replaced "PRÉSENTATION" with a graphic of the word
"Présentation".

I have the impression that "#post-10 h2" needs to be replaced with
something that includes #access and ul, but how do I specify the post-10?

- Item 2
The subheader, below the banner, reads "L'essentiel au quotidien". This
should be replaced with the graphic

- Item 3
Right-hand menu titles should also be replaced with graphics:

"Magasins" should be replaced with
http://fleurdepains.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/fdp_titre_magasins.gif

"Articles récents" should be replaced with
http://fleurdepains.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/fdp_titre_articles.gif

Help!

And yes, I had pulled down the entire original style sheet, I think, but this rule wasn't in it, strangely.

Thanks again.

<br /> .byline {<br /> display: block;<br /> position: absolute;<br /> left: -9000px;<br /> }<br />

In general I'd recommend using the "Add this to the CSS" option, since that way you can keep only a few CSS rules, and let the theme do the rest. Your Custom CSS would only include the rules you want to change—not everything. It also ensures that you receive future fixes automatically.

If you use "Start from scratch" make sure you pull down the entire original stylesheet, which should already have the above rule in it.

The last remaining nagging problem I'm having with the Coraline theme is with removing the author info/‘posted by’ tag on my blog posts.

On the standard Coraline theme (without any CSS edits), the author’s name does not appear under the blog title, simply the date of entry and comments link, e.g.:

TITLE TITLE TITLE
Posted on August 44, 2010 | Leave a comment

However, when making CSS edits and selecting the “Start from scratch and just use this” option in the editor, the authors name suddenly appears, e.g.

TITLE TITLE TITLE
Posted on August 44, 2010 by Author’s Name| Leave a comment

The custom style sheet I have created for my blog is based on the original Coraline stylesheet (http://s0.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/coraline/style.css?m=1282313102g&minify=false) so I can’t understand why the author info would suddenly be added.

Again, this only seems to happen when I select the “start from scratch” option – if I check the “Add this to the Coraline theme's CSS stylesheet” option, the author info is once again removed (although I wouldn’t wish to do this as some of my other CSS edits are lost).

Note that this also happens if I paste the original, unamended Coraline CSS style sheet into the editor – author’s name is present when I check the "Start from scratch" option but not when I check the “add this to the Coraline theme's CSS stylesheet” option - which makes it all the more confusing, particularly to a CSS novice.

Can anyone help/explain what I might be doing wrong?

I’ve read many of the other forum questions on this site regarding author info/tags and tried targeting/editing the appropriate css element, but to no avail.

I've turned comments off for all of my pages. All appears fine on those pages that carry the default page template (i.e. with sidebar widgets etc). However, on pages where I have selected the 'full width, no sidebar' layout, I get the annoying "Comments are closed" text at the bottom of each page.

Again, this text only displays on those pages that are full width/attachment pages, and not on pages under the default blog layout.

Is there anyway I can remove this text? I have the CSS upgrade, but am unsure how to target this element...

Why do some themes resize large images while others don't?
Is there some CSS magic to force the resize even for those themes that don't do so by default?

In the Cutline theme, only the first linked image is scaled (still too large) and the others are not scaled at all

Any hints on how to get the theme to do the work without having to manually edit all my old image links?

I’ve already changed my blog’s theme to Coraline, but unfortunately I cannot see the “posted by” field on my posts anymore. As there are more persons who may post in our blog displaying the author’s nick is very important!
May you help me please!

Then as I was trying to delete all of the extra words, it was running so slowly I thought it would never complete. I had to do it piecemeal...a few paragraphs at a time. Now that I write that I should have started over except I had already edited it when I found out there were multiple copies of the article.

Anyway, I didn't know about this change at all. No wonder my stats are so low, without the widgets to give information, searches, etc.

Ok, the other problem regarding the width of the columns I was able to fix. Under options, there are 6 or 7 items that you can have displayed i.e., Name of Post, Tags, Categories, Stats, etc. By removing a few of them, we can now see the title of the posted article. It just doesn't work if all are checked to be seen, then the irregular columns chop off words.

Next, I believe I sent an email to you several days ago about the error code that we get when updating comments or when editing posts. If it wasn't in an email, it is in an earlier post here. The same error code is occurring. All of us are getting it, so it is a system problem. There was no change when I cleaned out my Firefox browser cache.

Again, thanks for your "fixes"... You have certainly had your hands full with this change over.

@bridgetteb We've made sure the Edit link is back at the top of every single post (it's also at the bottom of all posts across your site). Thanks for pointing that out!

Would you be able to contact us at support@wordpress.com with a screenshot of the dashboard issue you're seeing?

@vegebon We've made a tweak to the Coraline table styles that should prevent that from happening. Thanks for letting us know about that issue!

At first I thought someone had tempered with my password. Did I miss an email by you guys notifying your users about such a change?

Not happy!
