You must have created one before, and deleted it. That's just how WP keeps track.

Thanks for you reply!

That's the confusing part...
I only have one page called fitness...

raincoaster — Sat, 25 May 2013 01:28:34 +0000

It will always do that. That is because you have created two pages called Fitness.

Hello,

I am new to wordpress and need some help with the last thing left to do on my blog before I can start posting!

I have created my blog in a customised Twenty Eleven theme and have basically kept it completely basic and minimal.

I have made it so only post appears at a time and then I created (with a LOT of help from justpi) a page which displays all the posts in thumbnails as tiles.

Now I want to add a link to this page at the bottom of my main page (where the posts are - one post per page) below the text of the post. So as it stands now, I add an image with every blog post and then add some text. Below this text I now have a "Older Posts" and "Newer Posts" links. Below these two links and in the middle, I would like a link to the page of thumbnails to read "View all Posts".

Can anyone help me with some CSS (if that is what I need), or with what it is I might need to make this possible?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you

So, that's the reason.

Ok. Thank you for your quick assistance. :)

justpi on "How to hide subpages on a page?"

justpi — Fri, 17 May 2013 09:31:42 +0000

That's the way the theme is designed: you can't hide the subpage links except if you have the Custom Design upgrade.
Very few themes display links to subpages this way, so you can simply select a different theme.

abudimir — Fri, 17 May 2013 09:26:38 +0000

How can I hide subpages to appear on a page (not on a menu)?
Subpage is displayed below my page title -duhani za lule subpages » 4noggins -
Please visit my website & you will see what I mean.

Dim lule website

I don't want subpages to appear nor to be accessed anyway except through the links in the text as you can see on my page when you scroll down and click on 4noggins.

Just write your post, then write whatever attribution you want, then highlight the text you want to be the link then click on the link button (in visual editor) then add the URL in and press add link.

How do I include a link to someone else's blog post?
I.e. I want to credit another blog for providing me with the idea for the post and include their link.

Yup, I also just tested the twitter link. I did similar tests with friends for Facebook and Linked In, w/ same result. Thanks very much for the reassurance.

There is no way of accessing a protected post without the password. If you like, go to twitter, post a link to such a blog post, copy the t.co shortcode that Twitter turns it into, come back here and paste it in, and I'll see if I can read the post.

iagchair on "Are protected posts via "Share this" links viewable w/o passwd?"

iagchair — Thu, 09 May 2013 09:35:45 +0000

Some have claimed I'm allowing the general public to view my protected posts via "Share this" links placed on social sites. The claim is that a password is not needed for viewing the posts via link. Probably the claimants' browser options are set to "remember passwords"; claimants possess the password, had previously logged in, then claim that they are able to magically follow links on social sites to my posts.
I just want to make absolutely certain that it's them, and not anything on my end; is there any way to access a protected post, without possessing the proper password?

Add this and edit the color code as you desire.

.post-content a {
color: #33BB33 !important;
}

I've purchased the Custom Design upgrade and the site shows "Upgrade Active." I would like to change the colour of links in the body of the posts.
Presently they are the same colour as the regular text with a faint underline.
My css additions change the colour of sidebar links but not the post links. I have gotten the <div ID> tag to work in the post, but alas, no link.

I noticed this morning that the footer and link colors looked 'off'. I checked the settings are as they should be. After resetting and saving them, they are still not correct. What gives?

designsimply — Mon, 06 May 2013 19:44:54 +0000

ok, thanks for all your help! do i understand correctly that if i've gone and coded body text in a color (black) directly i cannot set those words to hover in another color through the css?

It's not completely impossible to color the text with CSS *after* you code the body text (depending on the HTML you used and exactly what you want to change), but it could get really messy and confusing really fast, so I wouldn't recommend it.

ok, thanks for all your help! do i understand correctly that if i've gone and coded body text in a color (black) directly i cannot set those words to hover in another color through the css? my end goal was to be able to use black and bolded text for links and then have those hover in yellow.

i did go in and re-do the messy coding you mentioned!

designsimply on "adelle theme - hover colors"

designsimply — Fri, 03 May 2013 18:04:25 +0000

I think this is because you have HTML coded into the posts directly.

For example, I looked at this post:
http://thekrispybits.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/capella-breakfast-on-the-canal/

In Text mode:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/#text-editor

And found the HTML for first link for the text "Capella"—here's what it's set to:

Capella

That's really messy. It looks like you used the visual editor to change the colors directly a whole bunch of times. That, or you copy and pasted the content from another source and the underlying HTML came along with it. Regardless of how it got like that, you're likely to have a lot of trouble applying CSS to messy HTML like that, and I would recommend cleaning up the HTML. In the case of the link above, I would change it to:

Capella

Try editing a few of the links so they're formatted correctly.

Also, the CSS you posted has a duplicate/conflicting rule in it. You've added ".entry-content a:hover" twice. If you want the links to be black by default, use ".entry-content a" instead of ".entry-content a:hover" in the first rule.
