In the current version of WordPress, you shouldn’t modify CSS of any downloaded themes because if you update the theme, your changes will be destroyed. What you should instead do is create a child theme and edit the CSS of the child theme. If done this way, updates to the parent theme will be inherited instead of destroy your changes. How to use <ol> <li>Install the plugin.</li> <li>Log in to your /wp-admin</li> <li>Click on “Appearance” on the menu</li> <li>Click on “Child Theme” (sub-menu or on the page).</li> <li>Give your new theme a name and description and click “Create Child”</li> <li>Your child should be created, <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files#Using_the_Theme_Editor_and_Plugin_Editor">edit the new theme style.css</a>, and go wild!</li> </ol> This way only the parent theme will get updated, but your child theme will preserver your changes or modified styles, simple without any headaches. Preserve modified CSS <ol> <li>Go through the steps for installing and running the plugin above.</li> <li>Click on the Appearance > Editor in your admin dashboard menu (or network admin menu if multi-site).</li> <li>Select the parent theme in the drop down on the right, click “Select” and make sure you are editing the file “style.css” (select on the right).</li> <li>Copy the changes you made, if you managed to remember them.</li> <li>Select the child theme you created to the drop down in the left (you should be editing “style.css”).</li> <li>Paste your changes to the end of the file.</li> </ol> milo on "WordPress theme Nature" http://forum.milo317.com/topic/wordpress-theme-nature#post-956 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:43:55 +0000 milo 956@http://forum.milo317.com/ The Nature WordPress theme needs four post to work correctly hayovt on "WordPress theme Nature" http://forum.milo317.com/topic/wordpress-theme-nature#post-955 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:39:21 +0000 hayovt 955@http://forum.milo317.com/ I installed the Nature theme on met-hingstman.nl The bottom is not equal whit the top of the website.

Also you may edit the CSS, so your title works better: h1,h1 a,h1 a:hover{color:#47B895;margin:0;padding:0;float:right;font-variant:small-caps;font:25px century gothic,arial,verdana,serif;width:220px;overflow:hidden; text-align:right;background:transparent;} Suggestion: either increase the width by ten pixels or decrease the fontsize by 2px to 23px, then it should show up in one line. nowickedwitch on "Nature theme and theme tester and theme page" http://forum.milo317.com/topic/nature-theme-and-theme-tester-and-theme-page#post-427 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:57:35 +0000 nowickedwitch 427@http://forum.milo317.com/ One more thing.
