Excellent work! “To be volunteered” – a church-specific phenomenon?!!

Interesting to hear that you are having trouble getting people to contribute. When I generally invited people they were all told “hands off – leave it to the webmaster!” so now I’m lumbered. Sense of power and control doesn’t thrill me much; can be lonely.
My main problem is the heading on the homepage which should be coloured but isn’t. Would be delighted / relieved if somebody could find out how to make it coloured again – any colour will do except white. Used to be blue, when I left the training session, and then I decided to experiment . . . . we weren’t warned about that!
My second problem is how to make the pages look interesting with colour and shapes instead of plain rectangles. Any suggestions, please?

Welcome to the forum, minshman! Great to have you here.
There is one thing we could do: upgrade you to the latest version of the iChurch template. I’d be happy to do that, and there’s a good chance it might solve the problem. However, it would mean you’d have a little bit of new learning to do, as there are a few tweaks as to how the theme operates. You can always put it back to the other theme (Alyeska, iChurch 3.0 which you have now), though, if you get fed up!

As far as I can remember re your site skin, we tried changing the colour in theme options and that made no difference. I also tried uploading a background image and that didn’t display either. I have to say, I quite like the white, but I’m sure it must be possible to fix it…somehow! Does anyone else have any idea?

Can you just clarify exactly which bit you are struggling to change the colour of? Is it the page background or the site title text?

Thanks for asking, Andy. The site title is white with a white background. The page background is blue / grey I think, with white behind it. Yes Rebecca, the white can look good if I had it by choice.

Sorry for being dense, just trying to clarify which bit exactly it is that you want to have colour again? If you can tell me I’ll go in and have a look and see if I can see anything if I may.

[Dan Morrell]

Andy, it’s the ‘background’, in WordPress terms – you know, the bit where you could, in theory, have put an image fill or a colour fill? The iChurch theme that Minshull is using terms it ‘skin’, I think…

It just doesn’t seem to respond to whatever changes we make; it’s a bit of an odd one. Perhaps there’s something that you can see that we’ve missed – or else I think I’ll try uploading the new theme to see if that makes a difference!

Thanks for having a look 🙂
