Hi Holly,
I love your tutorial series on the Flexibility theme. I’m trying to figure out how to remove the 2 top sidebars that I won’t be using. I have made a static website so I don’t need the “recent posts” or “recent comments” bars. However, if I can edit them to place information in them like the “about my blog” bar then I’ll keep them. Any suggestions. The website is at http://www.rgvadzone.com/services.
Thanks,
Ernesto Lopez

Hi Holly,
Thanks so much for these great videos. Do you have one on how to add your disclaimers,terms,privacy, etc to the footer in the Flexibility3 theme?
Thanks again,
Patricia
Hi Holly, thanks for great video tutorials. I am wondering about 2 things.
1. How does the seo capabilities of this theme compare to thesis theme which I’m told is really great coding for seo built in?
2. I have an existing site will this break my site if I upload it to a site that’s already got quite a few posts, lots of plugins such as wish list member and others?
Thanks
Elaine
Elaine,
1. I have used both the Flexibility theme and the thesis theme successfully for SEO purposes. I am not sure that one theme is any better than the other for SEO purposes. If you’re using the All In One SEO–and updating the fields for each post you should be o.k.
We also use the SEOPressor plugin–which helps a lot–while it is a paid plugin–our team LOVES it.
2. I would always do a complete backup before changing a theme on an existing site with quite a few posts, wishlist, etc. BEFORE trying a new theme–I have changed the theme on several sites from one to the other; however, I wouldn’t do it without a backup of both the content and databases.
We use wptwin.net to clone sites–love this
We also use backupbuddy to backup our sites
Thanks
Holly
