1. Under Appearance > Widgets, remove/delete that widget from the Footer Sidebar.

2. Update:

.entry-content p {
  background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #cab1e2;
  border-radius: 5px;
  font-family: Aclonica;
  font-size: 16px;
  padding: 2%;
}

to:

.entry-content p {
  background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #cab1e2;
  border-radius: 5px;
  font-family: Aclonica;
  font-size: 16px;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 2%;
}

3. Update:

.purple-box {
  background: #cab1e2;
  padding: 2%;
}

to:

.purple-box {
  background: #cab1e2;
  border-radius: 10px;
  font-family: verdana,sans-serif;
  padding: 2%;
}

4. Use an empty Text widget from under Appearance > Widgets.

5. #cab1e2 is a hexadecimal color code. You can select others easily with this tool:

6. The extra one is likely your child theme. We recommend including the word “Child” in this theme’s name to avoid confusion.

You’re welcome.

Very strange. Unfortunately, this might remain a mystery. We haven’t received any similar reports so it’s likely an isolated issue. At this point all signs seem to point to a possible conflict with the host environment. What are you currently using?

We recommend the same host wordpress.org does:

Couldn’t find any obvious issues, we’ll need to get in and take a look.

Thank you.

The parent stylesheet should always remain untouched. That’s correct, you need to move your added customizations over from the parent to the child stylesheet starting on this line as indicated above:

START ADDITIONAL CSS BY REPLACING THIS LINE

2. Yes, that’s correct. Once the parent theme is called correctly everything should function as normal.

No need to hack the PHP files.

Just use the following CSS:

#sidebar .widget-container li {
  list-style: outside none disc;
  margin: 10px;
}

You’re very welcome. :)

It appears all CSS provided is added and working.

Whenever adding new CSS be sure to clear your browser cache and WordPress cache if you’ve installed a caching plugin (you’ll know if you have).

Please read the link shared above:

Thank you.

1. Looks like you were able to solve the description style.

2. Great.

3. In that case let’s do this:

a. Add this CSS:

.purple-box {
  background: #cab1e2;
  padding: 2%;
}

b. Then in the page content you’ll need to switch the editor to HTML/Text mode and wrap the 3 areas with the following HTML:

<div class="purple-box">

</div>

4. The same place you added that widget under Appearance > Widgets, you can add more widgets there.

5. This happens when you create multiple drafts. For instance, you likely created multiple “Home” pages and some are probably in the trash. Make sure to delete them all out except for the live “Home” page. Then edit that page and you’ll see the field where you can edit the slug (is what it’s called) and remove -2 and save.

You’re welcome.

1. Use:

#logo {
  float: left;
  width: 40%;
}

#site-description {
  clear: none;
  color: #fff;
  float: left;
  font-size: 25px;
  width: 60%;
}

#social .details, #social .details a {
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 18px;
}

You’ll also need to copy over your header.php file to your child theme if you haven’t already and find:

<?php
if ( $options['social'] ) {
echo '<div id="social">';
if ( $options['googleurl']!="" )
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $options['googleurl'] ) . '" id="social-google"><img src="' . get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/social/google.png" alt="Google+" /></a>';
if ( $options['linkedinurl']!="" )
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $options['linkedinurl'] ) . '" id="social-linkedin"><img src="' . get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/social/linkedin.png" alt="LinkedIn" /></a>';
if ( $options['twitterurl']!="" )
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $options['twitterurl'] ) . '" id="social-twitter"><img src="' . get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/social/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" /></a>';
if ( $options['facebookurl']!="" )
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $options['facebookurl'] ) . '" id="social-facebook"><img src="' . get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/social/facebook.png" alt="Facebook" /></a>';
echo '' . do_shortcode( stripslashes( wp_kses_post( $options['custicons'] ) ) ) . '';
echo '</div>'; }
?>

and move it just below:

<?php if ( $options['description'] ) { echo '<div id="site-description">' . esc_html( get_bloginfo( 'description' ) ) . '</div>'; } ?>

2. Great to hear.

3. Use:

#container {
  border: 2px solid #9400d3;
  box-shadow: 0 0 10px #777;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

4. Use:

#copyright {
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 16px;
  padding: 2%;
  text-align: center;
  text-shadow: none;
}

#footer-sidebar {
  background: #9400d3;
  border-radius: 10px;
  padding: 2%;
}

#footer-sidebar * {
  color: #fff !important;
}

No need to feel stupid, it’s really no different than learning a new language. Daunting it may be at first sure, but you seem to be catching on quick and the more you see examples and fuss around with styling your site the more things will begin to actually make sense as apposed to simply remembering that if you do X, Y will happen.

1. Use:

body {
  margin: 0;
}

#menu {
  margin-top: 0;
}

2. Use:

.page h1.entry-title {
  display: none;
}

3. These are only seen by you, the admin and are for your convenience. Would you still like to hide them?

Like most validation tools, they’re only accurate and useful to a point. Visually, a website might be perfectly responsive, but to the Google crawler it might be looking for signals that generally imply mobile support that aren’t being used.

Trust your own eyes and judgments over an automated tool when it comes to these kinds of issues. When the real mobile devices aren’t handy, tools like this are fairly good:

This should fix your header:

#logo {
  width: 100% !important;
}

As for your table, the way the table is assembled it doesn’t look like it’ll be able to be responsive. Since this is a bit off-topic, go ahead and start a new topic and we’ll work on a better solution for displaying your products.

Thank you.

If they’re published and have 0 or only a few views, depending on how much traffic your site has so far that may well be accurate.

Since you have Google Analytics you’ll be able to track the flow of traffic through your site much more accurately.
