How to add "Display Date" into black main menu string?

As a link, or just as today's date? If you want to place today's date you can use the PHP function date() and then you would have to use some absolute positioning in your CSS to force the date to be placed exactly where you want.

Thanks for the reply. I am talking about today's date that is in Magazine Basic version and absent in Premium. Because this theme is designed for news' site by definition, this date in header is very useful feature to have. So, i need insert date() function into header.php, right? And also add it to css.php (probaly into header section), right?

Actually I just tried to find where in Basic theme this function date() is and didn't find it. It has to be in sub-menu somewhere as I can see on the page, like: December 15, 2010. Could you please explain in details how to insert this function into Premium theme? (I am not a programmer - just an electronic engineer:)

BTW, I have some issues with Magazine Premium theme:
1. On home page Title's font is in white on a white page background and when I hover on it appears in black. The same issue on a category page and on single post page as well.
I didn't find in theme's design settings how to change it to black color. Please advise.
2. All headers on category page/sub-category pages are in white font on very light grey background. How to change it?

You can see all issues here: http://www.americanonews.com/

1. You control the colors of text, titles and fonts in the Design Options. I just looked at your site and I don't see any white text on a white background.

2. See above.

The PHP code to add the date would be something like this:

<?php echo '<div class="todaydate">'.date("l, F jS, Y").'</div>'; ?>

#header { position: relative; }
div.todaydate { position: absolute; top: 100px; right: 20px; z-index: 100; }

The reason you didn't see white text - I changed it back in Design Options after asking you.
The story is: Initially I have changed Header Background to red [C30606] and Headers Text to white [FFFFFF]. I wanted bolg's Title as a white text on red background. So, I was thinking that these settings (background and text) belong to blog's Header only!
In reality, only Header Background setting belongs to blog's header, Headers Text setting is not for WP blog header's text only, as I was thinking (logically), but for ALL headers texts - in the blog's body as well! So I realized it after asking you and changed this back to black [222222]. I was confused. :o(

Thanks for the code! I tried insert it into header.php/header div and got the following message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home2/blogdisp/public_html/americanonews/wp-content/themes/magazine-premium/header.php on line 112

Please advise exact place.


Also, did you change the name of css file from theme-style.css to admin-style.css?

Thanks

theme-style.css no longer exists. The CSS is stored in the options database.

There was an error in the code above. I had two single quotes instead on one double quote. I fixed so try recopying it now.

I also want a red background (8b0000) with white text in my blog header, but red text on white or gray for my page, post, and widget headers. Please add the option to your design layout to separately color those headers when you get a chance. It would make the design so much more balanced. As it is, it's impossible to have the contrast that I desire when all the 'inside' headers have to be the same color as the blog header.

I don't see the code above you are talking about to fix this. Please post again. My site is www.tradefatforlife.com It currently has red text on red header and red text on posts, pages, and widget headers. I have never made a css correction entry - so please give me very detailed instructions. -- I am using Magazine Premium. I greatly appreciate all your hard work.

@cbavota re your comment on Dec 2010 - does this apply to an earlier version of WP? I can't find Design Options or the Custom CSS Editor.
I'm trying to change the fonts (Lucida and Helvetica). I've managed to find some in style.css, which does the widget headlines and blog headline - but none others?
Are you able to help? Thanks

@bagof Those options are only in my premium themes.

@cbavota So I can't change the fonts (most of them) in Basic?

You can but you would need to edit style.css directly.
