Styling questions

[design_agency]

hello, hello.
a couple questions for you:

1) in the search and archive results, is it possible to remove the sidebar?
example here

2) in the secondary navigation at the very top of the page, i’d like to change ‘subscription’ to ‘mailing list’ (so people dont get confused with RSS). possible?

3) in my blog posts, i’d like to top align the headline with the top of the sidebar text (archives). example here

4) for the blog section, how can i completely remove categories and tags, leaving only search, RSS and archive?

thanks so much for all of your help,
emily

Hi Emily,

1) Theme Options -> Archive/Category Options -> Sidebar Config.

2) You can change that by translating the theme. More info here.

3) Remove that post thumbnail and add this custom CSS in the General theme options, to also remove top margin on post headings:

.article-body-wrap h1 { margin-top: o !important; }

4) Also, with custom CSS:

.blog-aux-options li:first-child, .blog-aux-options li:first-child + li {
    display: none !important;
}

Regards,

hi cosmin,

thanks so much for these answers! #1 and #4 are taken care of.

with #2, im a bit confused. i read the link you sent over, however, im not interested in translating into a different language, i simply want to change the text used in the demo site. do i still need to go through the translation process in order to do that?

#3, i added the css you sent over, but it did not budge the image. you mention removing the post thumbnail, which i also did, however that seems to only have removed the image from the blog landing page. i would like to have that image there, along with one in the post. have i missed something?

again, thanks!

Hi Emily,

2) Yes, you will need to use that process. It can be done in the theme files directly as well, but you will lose this edit when updating the theme. You don’t have to translate the whole theme, you can “translate” (as in change text) only the strings you’re interested in.

3) Let’s try something different. Undo the changes you made and add this CSS instead:

.single .page-content > .media-wrap { display: none !important; }

.article-body-wrap h1 { margin-top: o !important; }

hey cosmin,

im still having trouble with both of these issues.

#2. i downloaded PoEdit and opened up “en_US.po” however i am unable to translate anything. i’ve never used PoEdit before so its entirely possible that im missing something, however i did try just about everything. im attaching a screen shot so you can see what i saw and to be sure that im looking at the right thing.

#3. i removed the old CSS and popped in the new that you sent along, however, yet again, they are not alinging. i can let this one go if its proving to be too much of a pain.

thanks again for your help,
emily

Hi there,

Apologies for the delay.

2) Have you tried typing into the translation box right at the bottom?

3) Not sure what happened with Cosmin’s CSS, but try this instead:

.article-body-wrap h1 {
margin-top: -5px !important;
}
