It fails because there is already a theme with that name on the server. So the obvious solution is to remove the theme before you upload the new version. If you’re wanting to use an update mechanism like the theme repo, but on a custom theme, there are udpater classes you can add, such as … Read more
The Navigation Menus system is adding a lot of classes, including matching current page (rather intelligently, it will even try to detect custom URLs, that were input explicitly). The simplest class to make use of is current-menu-item, but there are quite a few more dealing with parents/ancestors and more. Codex has them documented at wp_nav_menu() … Read more
Actually you shouldn’t add JS and CSS files to your header.php, but make use of the functions wp_enqueue_script() and wp_enqueue_style() to add them there. Example taken from the codex page: /** * Proper way to enqueue scripts and styles */ function theme_name_scripts() { wp_enqueue_style( ‘style-name’, get_stylesheet_uri() ); wp_enqueue_script( ‘script-name’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/example.js’, array(), ‘1.0.0’, true … Read more
That’s the Jetpack Stats image, it’s necessary to track the stats. You can disable it by disabling Jetpack Stats but it shouldn’t be full width, that will be a CSS problem

The sole fact that you only experience the problem only in chrome, already means that this question is about the browser, not about WordPress. So, it’s off topic here. Anyway, Chrome is known to show this kind of behaviour under … Read more
That’s not how get_post() works. Trashing the post doesn’t change the value of the theme mod, and the theme mod is still going to point to that post in the database, so get_post() will dutifully retrieve it as long as it’s there. It’s up to you to make sure its status is what you want … Read more
If the theme is generating CSS based on theme options then it might choose to do this. Say your theme lets you pick a ‘primary colour’. It might want to style lots of elements in this colour. To do this it would need to output CSS with certain values substituted with your chosen colour. If … Read more
Changing the default widget would be pretty complicated. However, you can write your own shortcode and function to get your desired list. I’m guessing you want an unordered list in your widget? Put this in your theme’s functions.php: add_shortcode(‘archive_by_year_and_month’,’get_archive_by_year_and_month’); function get_archive_by_year_and_month($atts=array()){ global $wpdb; $years = $wpdb->get_col(“SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type=”post” AND post_status=”publish” ORDER … Read more
