Help with a few things.

Post by Bizmal »

The first thing is that latley when people go to my site just for a split second it says 404 error then loads the site. I have made no changes tot he site. Why?

Second. After a post you are able to click on the word comment and make one. I want to make the word comment bigger. How do I do that.

Hi!

Check your .htaccess file, it might have wrong rewrite rules or wrong path names, which lead to the 404 handler kicking in.

You'll need to use CSS for that, and edit your templates style.css file to add proper words to the right class selector. Maybe our nice template helpers here on the forum can help you there.

Jeez, you're patient.

Okay, first of all I have never seen this template, so it looks like you own, right? Does it have a file called entries.tpl in the template's folder? If not, copy the entries.tpl from /templates/default/ to /templates/<YOUR_TEMPLATE>/. Now, in that file, find the line

Code: Select all

| <a href="{$entry.link}#comments">{$entry.label_comments} ({$entry.comments})</a>
edit it like this

Code: Select all

| <a href="{$entry.link}#comments" class="thegamerCommentsLink">{$entry.label_comments} ({$entry.comments})</a>
and add something like this

Code: Select all

.thegamerCommentsLink {
    font-size: 300%;
}
to your template's style.css. Not big enough? Too big? Play with the percentage value for the font-size.
