]]>I’m using this theme for an events site and I think it looks great. I’ve successfully moved past events onto their own page, but they are still showing on the home page. I would like to show only one category on the home page. Does anyone know how to do that in this theme?
Site is https://dewritersstudio.org.
]]>Not sure if anyone is still supporting this theme, but I have two problems I can’t solve. If anyone is still there I’ll post my questions!
]]>Hi,
I have been having some issues with the slider.
At first it took me some time to find out the default size for desktop view is 1200 x 500. It seems however, that the mobile slider is set for different dimensions. Has anyone else noticed this?
A 1200 x 500 jpg will look really good on a desktop, but will get zoomed into a square slider on the mobile version to the point that you can no longer identify the picture.
If you use a square or otherwise vertically elongated picture, it will look great on the mobile version, but zoomed in to the point it can’t be identified on the desktop version.
Has anyone found a way around this or some set dimensions that display great results for both versions, or is there just an error in the slider design to the point where it will always display incorrectly on either desktop or mobile view?
Any help appreciated. Thx.
]]>Hi,
This Simply Read theme includes a search bar, but when I type a category or tag in the search, it can’t find anything. Is there some way to manipulate the search bar so that it can either search categories and tags, or have a drop down menu?
I downloaded the “Search & Filter” app, which appears to be able to do what I’m talking about, but then I wouldn’t need two search bars. Would it be possible to remove the main search bar to replace it with this one, or otherwise integrate this one into the main one?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you.
]]>Hi guys,
I’ve been trying for ages to figure out how to make my header image (on my homepage) to look good on mobile. It looks fine on a desktop but on a tablet or phone the image is all squished. Please help!! I don’t know what to do ! hkediting.com
WEBSITE: https://melaniebullock.com/
When using the READ MORE feature, I am able to get the text to line up the way I want it to but if you take a look you will notice that I cannot get the actual words “READ MORE” to show up NOR the ellipsis symbols to show up like the normal version of the read more functionality. Any suggestions?

]]>I need help fixing a mistake I made.
I wend to the Single Php file to change the wording of “Related Posts” to “Other Products”. I’m not sure where I screwed up, but the related posts appear in vertical formal rather than horizontal.
Could someone please cut and paste the original text of the Simply Read single.php file?
Even better if you can also let me know how to just change the wording from Related Posts to Other Products as it would appear on my site.
thank you.

]]>Hello everyone!
I’ve been using this theme over a year by now, did some changes and updates on my blog https://unblogchino.com/ but there’s always this thing that i don’t know how to change.
The template looks absolutely different (and awful) on mobile devices. I checked online and as responsive, my site should look like this https://s28.postimg.org/ldpqxrqkt/image.jpg, but it doesn’t. It looks plane, no social icons or header and BLUE https://s30.postimg.org/iibyrp881/Screenshot_2016_03_23_19_26_44.png
PS: i checked the site on several smartphones and it looks just as bad on every single one of them.
Does anyone has this same issue? How did you fixed it?
Thanks!
]]>Hi,
I am using the simply read theme. The slider has no controls. I would like to set the amount of slides to show and what content to show. Can anyone help me with this issue?

]]>Hello everyone,
I’m still a beginner and I’d appreciate your help.
I have some categories for my posts and each category has its top page with a list of posts under that category. On the header of the top page, it shows “Posts Categorized: xxx” (xxx is the category name), and I want to delete “Posts Categorized:” and just show the category name. How can I do that?
Hi ! first of all i hav to say i’m really happy with this template, is very clean and simple and easy to customize.
Currently i have like 3 bars, the top with social, the middle with logo/h1 and search bar, and below the navbar with the menu categories.
I need to know how to merge this items into a single bar, to make it look like this mock up and make it fixed on top. thank you!

]]>Hi!
I’m trying to change that in the CSS style sheet but could only change colors when we hover on the links. I would like to change the colors of the links not yet visited in the body of the posts.

]]>Is there any way to set the width and height for all current and future images in the media library?

]]>Hello,
How can I hide previous post and next post?
Thanks.
]]>Hey,
When I installed the theme, the page you were on would appear bold and underlined on the top left nav menu. However, since I’ve added a 5th item to the menu, this has ceased to happen. Is there some CSS I can add somewhere to make it happen again?
Cheers
]]>We use mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) to be connected with favourite websites. This theme is adorable, desktop version looks fantastic, but there are still fixed slider size options to 1200×500 without any resizing to be match with a lot of resolutions of mobiles–
It looks not good, a randomly spotlighted squad piece of image highlight not the main sense of a front picture often.
Is there a possible hope to apple just the ‘align=center’ command to this nice slider pictures set how it works on other WP based websites?
]]>Below the comments box on posts there is something like this:
You may use these HTML tags and attributes: <abbr title=””> <acronym title=””> <b>
<cite>
<del datetime=""> <i> <q cite=""> <s> <strike>
I would really like to remove this but obviously still keep the comments box. Can this be done simply, I do not know much about coding.
Thanks
]]>Hi, is there an easy way to just remove the slider from the front page.? This is a great theme, but there really should have been an option to not show the slider, just like it has for the author box etc.
]]>Hello. I switched over to full width static page template, and I want to remove the grey bar repeating my menu title under my menu. When I click on a heading from the menu, it pulls this heading into the grey bar (which is always on) above the slider and changes depending on the heading from the menu I am on. Hopefully this makes sense to someone who can help me. I really appreciate the help!!
Warm regards,

]]>Hello everyone,
I’m new to WordPress. The website I want to make is very simple. I am happy to confide to all the defaults of the ‘Simply Read’ wordpress theme apart from one change (at the moment…) which I just can’t seem to figure out how to do.
I have lots of categories and sub-categories and when clicked, the posts in those categories appear in a long list. Basically, all I want, is for the posts to appear in a grid format. 3 or 4 columns; each with thumbnail, title, a small amount of text, ‘read more’ link, perhaps a small social media icon or 2 – I think you get the gist of what I’m after.
I downloaded the plugin ‘post grid’ which seems all lovely and customisable but I can’t for the life of me work out how to it apply to my categories.
I’ve tried reading other forums surrounding this topic but being completely new to this, talks of PHP and coding goes completely over my head.
I am more than happy to learn about this of course, but at the moment I don’t even have a clue where to start. If anyone were able to help me in a ‘guide for dummies’ style that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!!
]]>Whats Up!
I have two questions:
Question 1:
Does anyone know how to move the post widgets from the footer to the sidebar. I would like it to look like the pages.
Question 2:
On the main page how do you change the size of the three thumbnails at the bottom? I have two photo featured images and one video. The video is larger and I would like to either change its size or the photos to make them the same.
Thank you!
]]>Hi, I have installed the plguin but do not appear when you active, why?
]]>Hi,
I have recently installed the SImply Read theme and after turning on PageSPeed I noticed that the transparent image on the main slider was no longer working and therefore the text is now very hard to read.
Have you come across this issue before?
Kind Regards,

I’m attempting to change the slider from displaying the latest posts to displaying ‘random’ posts.
Has any figured out how to do this?
Thanks.
