I am trying to change the color of my website’s title. I tried using this code in the Additional CSS panel:

.site-title a{
color: #500;
text-decoration: none;
}

When I enter that, the color changes in the preview window but when I click the Save button at the top and then visit my site directly, the color is the original black.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Should also note that I don’t really know CSS at all… just know enough to change hexadecimal color values.

Thanks!

Is it possible to get a fix for the formatting issue that arises when the name of a page (or other widget entry) goes more than one line? See first entry under Odds and Ends below for an example I made up of what I’m talking about.

Ideally, the part that starts with “Related” would line up with the “This” on the previous line.

It happens in other widgets, too. Top Posts is an example of another widget that has this problem at times.

Hi,

I have updated my Biographical Info for the user but this doesn’t show up when I click on the author name. It takes me to this page: https://www.uxstudent.co.uk/author/william-deng/ but all that happens is that the text “Author: William Deng” is displayed. There is no picture or information.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Many thanks!

having a bit of trouble getting the category to display properly, i’ve removed the author variable and replaced it with the_category(‘ ‘) instead:

echo '<span class="posted-on">' . $posted_on . '</span><span class="post_cat">cat:' . the_category(' ') . '</span>';

but the problem is it seems to print the category BEFORE the time for some reason, here’s what is output on the page:

<a href="https://*.com/?cat=1" rel="category">misc</a><span class="posted-on"><a href="https://*.com/?p=14" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2016-04-09T01:41:43+00:00">2016.04.09</time><time class="updated" datetime="2016-04-20T01:45:08+00:00">2016.04.20</time></a></span><span class="post_cat">cat:</span><span class="edit-link"><a href="https://*.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=14&action=edit">Edit</a></span>		</div><!-- .entry-meta -->

not quite what where i’m going wrong here, anyone have any idea?

Can someone tell me why my captions don’t center? When I am in edit mode, it is centered both horizontally and vertically, but when I view my post after saving, it is neither centered nor vertical middle – what can I do to fix this? I’ve tried everything adding code – but this is the free version – shouldn’t this theme be centering the caption anyway? Thanks if you can help me.

Example: [caption id="attachment_1679" align="alignright" width="347"]<img class=” wp-image-1679 alignright” src=”https://myblog.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/fugis10.jpg&#8221; alt=”fugis10″ width=”347″ height=”177″ />I cleaned up my bike today![/caption]

Yet the words are left aligned and at the top with too much padding below.

hey!

i’m building a website using minnow, and were stuck on a problem:
we can’t change the background to a picture. If we do it says it’s changed, but then when i load the page it’s just standard white. How can i fix this? You can take a look at: plots.cc
on the internet i found people who experienced the same problem. Then it turned out to be a problem with the theme,maybe it can be over here as well?

Hi, I want to display a site logo in header. I didn’t want site-title displayed in header so I did .site-branding { display: none;} I tried <img src> in many different ways however, it won’t show up at all. Somehow I got it first time but I had to reinstall the theme and starting over with a child theme.I am struggling too much. Please help!

There is no support for a Medium icon. And the Tumblr icon that works with a standard sitename.tumblr.com domain does not work when you use a custom domain. Can I use Font Awesome instead?

Hi,

I have done some changes to my Minnow child theme, the biggest one being that I managed to have my sidebar visible all the time.
However, now it′s altered the format of my site: there′s the sidebar, a huge space, and then, my posts:
https://www.tearnwear.com

Do you know how can I remove this huge space between my sidebar and the beginning of my posts? I tried to change the header, the width of my posts, etc, but don′t know what the problem is… It′s driving me crazy! Can anyone please help me?
If you need some coding please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I would really like to add a header image in my Minnow child-theme.

I already tried adding the following lines of html in my child functions.php:

$args = array(
‘width’ => 980,
‘height’ => 60,
‘default-image’ => get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/images/header.jpg’,
‘uploads’ => true,
);
add_theme_support( ‘custom-header’, $args );

Allthough this added a ‘header image’ option in the customizer section, my site fails to display the images that I uploade there.

Is there any way to get this working? Perhaps by adding some html-code in the header.php file?

Hi there,

I would really like to ‘fix’ the top-right hamburger menu button (toggle to sidebar) in my Minnow child theme.

In the Minnow parent version the position of the menu button is set to ‘relative’, which means that it hovers out of sight when scrolling down.
However, I would like it to stay in sight.

Is there any solution to this? For instance by adding some css-code in the child style.css?

Btw: I’m fairly new to using wordpress

I can’t found where the image is being loaded, i just want to change it for the official logo since the theme is displaying an odd one.

Here is my website: https://feedmundo.com/

Thanks in advance.

I’ve had one of my blogs on wp.com, and now I’m transferring it to a self-hosted platform. But I want to continue using the Minnow theme. Everything else went smoothly, except that it seems that the Minnow theme is not the same. On .com, the Customize section offers me “Colors & Backgrounds” where I have 2 featured palettes to choose from, plus a suggestion of colors. I mostly use one of the featured palettes, because I like it. The chosen palette adjusts the background and font color.
Now, when I upload the Minnow theme (1.0.5) through my self hosted admin, all of the sudden, the Colors and Background options are separate, and I no longer see the 2 basic featured palettes. I can change the background color, but it’s isolated, i.e. not connected with any palette.
I really didn’t expect that the theme basic options will be downgraded in this way. I’d even be willing to pay a little to get the premium plan, but this again seems to available only in wp.com version.
I don’t know how to change CSS, and I don’t want to go there. If the Minnow for self-hosted domains doesn’t give me the option of choosing palettes, like the .com version, then I’ll just have to use a different theme.

Here are the sites:
– On wp.com: https://soulfulsparks.wordpress.com/
– On self-hoted: https://soulfulsparks.hamoves.net/

Please advise. Thank you.

Gratefully,
Marta

I’ve been using a slightly tweaked Minnow for several months now and it’s almost perfect.

However, I keep imagining that ajax infinite scroll would further improve it, because it would visually suit this minimalistic theme much better than the current standard Older posts/Next posts arrows at the bottom of the page.

Is there a way to achieve that on the current version without much hassle? If not, can I suggest adding this in future releases, if possible? ??

how to edit css file so that headings and subheadings of minnov theme can be in my local language rlt any body ready to help plx!

Hello folks

The Minnow theme looks just about perfect for a small personal blog. However, I really don’t need the Author line on the post meta – since, you know, I’m the only author on my personal blog. ?? I’d really like to replace this Author line with the post Category, which makes much more sense for a personal blog than listing the post author.

I’ve found where in the template files this piece of code is. However, this block of code is too difficult for me to decipher, I don’t know PHP enough to rewrite it.

Could you please assist?

How do I add the social links menu below site title and logo as shown on the Minnow Theme examples?

Hi,

First of all, thank you for the pretty good theme.
The multilingual feature is not working. The reason may result from incorrect .mo and .po file name. In wordpress, the site language is configured by WPLANG constant inside wp-config.php file. Therefore, wordpress CMS can find the language file by WPLANG constant.

Some language like Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese abbreviations are zh_TW and zh_CN respectively in WordPress setting. However, in minnow/languages/ directory, these two language is zh-tw.mo, zh-tw.po, zh-cn.mo and zh-cn.po. It causes that minnow theme cannot find the correct language file name. Those files’ name may change into zh_TW.mo, zh_TW.po, zh_CN.mo and zh_CN.po.

Thanks.

I can’t seem to find the Featured Images Module. It does not show up on the bottom, nor can I add it on screen options. Is it turned off in this Theme?
Thanks

Hi,

I would like to keep the Menu in fixed position so when I scroll to the bottom of the page, it would be still visible.
How could I accomplish this, please?

Thanx, Kind Regards

Sidebar is working properly in the Customizer preview but not not on the site itself: menu bars are there but nothing happens when I click on them.

Hello,

Im currently working on the blog: https://www.cocotje.nl,

Im using Jetpack for the sitelogo functionality. Now the problem is: It doesn’t matter what size i change the logo to in CSS or actual file size. It just won’t change other than the 300x 160px.

This is in the HTML Attributes when you inspect the element.

How can I fix this?

Kind Regards

Hi,
On my blog using Minnow I’d like to switch the order to chronological (oldest to newest) when the reader clicks a tag and arrives on /tag/tagname.
On the rest of the site I’d like to keep reverse chronological (newest to oldest).
I’m guessing this is possible with an edit to template-tags.php – any guidance?
