Thanks for replying!
I’m still having so many other problems though. I don’t even know where to begin.
I love all the features and functionality but am frustrated with not being able change the layout exactly how I want it. Some of the terminology confuses me too. Sometimes the footer means the default 3 columns at the bottom, other times it means only the small bar at the very bottom. And then one of the footers started showing a list of all my pages, then interesting links (not links I created) and I spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out how to get those out of there, finally gave up and just got rid of the footers altogether.
I want to be able to just edit the html and the css so I can do what I want to with it. If I got a child theme could I do that? CSS files are so much more complex than they used to be though, I don’t know if I could find my way around them enough to be able to edit what I want.
