OK, I’ll check it out. I have a backup of the site if all else fails.

Thanks. How do I create a sub-domain? Not sure what that is!

Done that, now getting a grey tag on the status page saying Reset Code? What do I do?

Hey, I’ve just been asked to activate the theme but I’ve already done it? Do I need to do it again?

Thanks. I’ll probably leave it as it is. I just thought it would be nice if all the posts had the same display structure even though they’re in different blocks; but if that’s not possible, no problem. Cheers.

Not too worried about the post titles, have changed most of them apart from the top grid.

Definitely last question I hope (thanks so much for all the support!): How do I get the category tabs on the thumbnails in the homepage Techniques block, not at the side with the article title? So they’re ON the picture like in all the other blocks? THANKS!

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. It was the post titles, eg in the top big grid where they are in caps?

OK, think I’ve almost got to grips with how widgets work, will persevere.

One last question, if I might trouble you. I want to change the font for the TITLES of all the posts wherever they appear to sentence case instead of Uppercase. I’ve done it for the posts themselves but I can’t, for the life of me, work out how to change the titles where they appear on the homepage, in widgets etc. Thanks again for all your time.

That’s great re the categories, blocks etc. Got it now!
Re the sidebar, there are currently three other widgets in it under the ad box. You probably didn’t scroll down far enough because of the very white space I was talking about! There are a td image widget, a latest posts widget and a categories widget. I tried to drag another element into the empty space under the ad but it wouldn’t accept it? The ad widget doesn’t show in the WP widgets control panel, though. I loaded the code via the td theme panel.

OK, thanks for your patience, much appreciated! Here’s the site as it stands. my site in progress

So I want to change the top panel to automatically populate with my latest posts. How do I do this?

Then I want the next panel (currently Business) to be titled eg Online, the one below that (Lifestyle Today) to be eg Case Studies. How do I change these titles so that new posts automatically populate these categories?

The other issue I have is that I have a large white space in my widgets bar on the right between the ad at the top and the image widget. How do I get rid of this?

Thanks for all your help!
Simon (also!)

Yes, thanks, I understand the building blocks (I think!) but how do I change all the menus and categories so that eg all stuff categorised as Business in the demo, now becomes eg Articles. Are you with me?

Very useful thanks for all the links! While I get to grips with all this, I’d just like to change the categories in the Local News demo to my own and replace the demo posts with my own, like for like. What’s the easiest way to do this? So for example, I would like to change “Business” to eg Blog but keep all the links intact?

OK, I worked it out. You go outside the Newspaper dashboard into the main WP one and go to Appearance > Menus and figure it out from there. Now just need to find out how to get which categories/page links working with each type of menu. Hope this is helpful to somebody else.
