Adding www to your domain name in WordPress
April 27, 2011 by Jesse
If you’ve just installed wordpress and your url is missing the www in front (http://bridge-city-marketing.com instead of http://www.bridge-city-marketing.com), not to worry, it’s an easy fix.
WordPress makes things easy. That’s one of its greatest features. You don’t have to be and HTML wizard to get your site looking the way you want it to.
Now, if you do an online search, you might see some solutions that use the .htaccesss file, and rewrite commands and all of that. But in WordPress, you don’t need to touch that file.
To get the www in your domain name in WordPress, just go to your admin area, and on the left navigation, go to Settings/general. Now you will see your domain name written twice, and I bet the www is missing in both of them. Now all you need to do is just put the www in the right place and hit save, and that’s it – you’re done.
And don’t forget, if you need a great design for you WordPress blog or website, shoot me an email – I would love to help!
WordPress – Text Won’t Wrap Around Images
February 3, 2011 by Jesse
Don’t kill your computer! It is an easy fix. You just need to make sure you do 2 things.
Don’t kill your computer! It is an easy fix.
First, make sure that you have the left or right alignment bubble clicked when you add the image. If you are not sure, go into your visual editor, click once on the image. You will see 2 boxes appear, on is edit, and one is delete. Click the edit and look for the alignment section.
Second, make sure this code is in your style.css file. I am constantly amazed to see themes that do not have this basic code in it. If you want to see if your theme has it, go to your wp admin menu on the left, click appearance/Editor. The first file that comes up is the one you want. Scroll down and look for it. If you don’t see it, paste it in there and hit save.
img.alignright {float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em}
img.alignleft {float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0}
img.aligncenter {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto}
a img.alignright {float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em}
a img.alignleft {float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0}
a img.aligncenter {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto}
Now that is a happy duck!!!
