I am trying to manipulate the header image. I am having trouble finding the right selector. I am using the inspector in developer tools, and can change the class “inner” but can’t change the class “logotype-img”.

Also, how to post images here? I have screenshots…

I’m using smpl-skeleton with buddypress & bbpress. I’ve run into an issue: once the group is created, I can’t update the group photo, some of the code isn’t being generated. I’ve disabled all the plugins and change the theme, the outcome is the same. When creating a new group I can upload a photo. When updating an existing group’s photo I can’t. It seems that some of the code isn’t generating. The code for bp-avatar-nav and bp-avatar-status is missing. Any Ideas?

I’ve inherited a site that uses Smpl Skeleton. Is there any documentation I can download/obtain?

Thanks in advance.

For the life of me, I cannot find how to change the color of the search button to a different shade of blue.

Hi,

I’m editing this website:

https://filipm.scripts.mit.edu/www/

and I’d like to decrease the space between the slide in the center of the page and the navigation menu (below the Title/tagline).
Can anyone point me to how to modify the child theme to achieve this?
Best,

Filippo

Please can you tell me how I can move the top navigation links so that they are centered.

Hello, is there any way to change this?

When I post a post (I am the only one who will be posting to my blog, thus there is no need to identify WHO will be posting), there is always a line at the top, replicated here:

Posted on December 19, 2015 by axmxnxtxpx

This makes me wonder how I can remove the “by ___” part. This makes my site less secure, since now someone will have the first part of the login by simply going to [mysite]/wp-login.php. Plus, since I am the only one posting, it should not matter.

Please tell my how I remove this part of the automatic posting header. I have searched hi and low.

Thanks.

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to include widget in Extras area? I was thinking about using WP Custom Widget area plugin and use the shortcode from this plugin in Extras area of the theme.

Unfortunately shortcode is not displaying in Extras area. Is there a way how to make shortcodes work in Extras area?

Kind regards

Hello,

I am using Skeleton theme for one project. Now I would like to use the same template for a different one. But it seems like something is wrong with the Extras areas.

In my current project the extras area in functions.php looks like this:

if ( !function_exists( 'skeleton_header_extras' ) ) {

	function skeleton_header_extras() {
		$header_extras = skeleton_options('header_extras');
		if (a) {
			$extras  = '<div class="header_extras">';
			$extras .= $header_extras;
			$extras .= "</div>";
			echo apply_filters ('skeleton_child_header_extras', $extras);
		}
	}
	add_action('skeleton_header','skeleton_header_extras', 3);

}

In the new project (for which I downloaded latest version of Skeleton theme) the same area in functions.php looks like this:

if ( !function_exists( 'skeleton_header_extras' ) ) {

	function skeleton_header_extras() {
		$header_extras = skeleton_options('header_extras');
		if ($header_extras) {
			$extras = "<div class=\"header_extras\">";
			$extras .= $header_extras;
			$extras .= "</div>";
			echo apply_filters ('skeleton_child_header_extras',$extras);
		}
	}
	add_action('skeleton_header','skeleton_header_extras', 3);

}

The difference is in these 2 lines:

if (a) {
			$extras  = '<div class="header_extras">';

if ($header_extras) {
			$extras = "<div class=\"header_extras\">";

The problem with the new project is that when I try to add code to Extras area like this <a id="test">test</a> the code is always automatically wrapped with quotation signs and looks like this <a id="\"mail\"">test</a> which causes that this content does not appears correctly.

I was trying to solve this by editing mentioned part of the code, unfortunately I can not figure this out.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Hello,

This seems like a great theme. Is the setup in the demo available for download?

If not, how do I remove the Sidebar in an easy way? Thanks.

Hi!

Using Skeleton with child theme, the image preview is not working when editing images in media library. Reverting to “mother” Skeleton theme, or TwentyFifteen, the previev appears but when using the child theme WP says that it can not load preview. PHP GD library is active on the server. Other suggested options is to check that there are no blank lines between…

<?php---?>
<?php---?>

…but I can not find that there is. Any suggestions most appreciated!

Hello:

My site uses the Skeleton theme and I have an icon and title I would like to replace with a simple logo file. Can someone help me find where I might swap out the file? I’ve tried replacing it in the header, but to no effect.

My site is https://www.johnparisband.com

Hi everyone,

I need to create a fixed menu. i.e. a main menu that does not disappear when I scroll down. I have tried to edit custom.css and style.css:

#menu {
  position: fixed;
  right: 0;
  top: 50%;
  width: 8em;
  margin-top: -2.5em;
}

But nothing happened.

You help shall be highly appreciated.

I have the site title and tag line in place but want to replace it with a banner image. I have the banner up loaded in the “Header” logo section but it does not show in place of the site title and tag line.

I can’t seem to find anywhere or anyway to make it show. On a previous website I am sure there was place to install banners but on this theme I cannot find such a place other than the ‘Header’.

I am not sure what size the banner should be either.

The site is ‘sheddieswarehouse.co.nz’

Thanks

I updated to WP 4.3 today, and I have the text ‘11111’ appearing in the body tag.

I’ve been doing a few tests by deactivating the plugins, but none of them are causing this problem. I have, however, tested different themes, and they don’t have the text. So this means that the Skeleton theme I’m using is causing the problem.

By the way, I’ve tried typing in the numbers in the functions, header, and lots of other PHP files, but found nothing. Does anyone have ideas what the problems are?

Thanks.

Trying to change the default color of the menu buttons to a darker blue.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I’m using the Smpl Skeleton theme at the moment, and I’m trying to understand how to move the div elements in the functions.php page.

I want to move my #sidebar element inside the wrap container e.g.:

<div id=”wrap” class=”container”>
<div class=”sidebar” class=”ten columns” role=”complementary
<!–content goes here–>
</div>
</div>
<div id=”footer” columns=”sixteen columns”>
<!–content goes here–>
</div>

Thanks.

I use the Jigoshop eCommerce plugin, which has been very compatible with the Skeleton theme. After I recently updated WordPress, all of the Jigoshop products on our shop page are showing as posts, instead of products with an add to cart button, price, etc., and the posts do not have a thumbnail picture. This problem appears to be isolated to the Skeleton theme. The products do show correctly in the Jigoshop shortcode, though.

It used to show the products like this:
https://simplebeadpatterns.com/new-tutorials/

Now, it looks like this:
https://simplebeadpatterns.com/shop-3/.

When I use the Jigoshop Product Search widget, they are all coming up as posts as well.

I am really hoping that there is a way to make the products not appear as posts. If not, are you able to tell me how to have the thumbnail image show? I found the Sample Blog page on the Skeleton website with the thumbnail image for each post. I have a featured image set for each product, but there is still no image.

Skeleton’s Sample Blog page with thumbnail images:
https://themes.simplethemes.com/skeleton/news/

I really hope you can help me with this (fingers crossed!) Thank you so much!

Hi, I created a entry menu for a category where some post have a featured image assigned.
When I browse de menu option recently created I realize that de list of posts is without any image.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Can anybody help with this?

I want to make all PAGES (not posts) narrower. 960px is just too wide for comfortable reading.

I tried changing the entire site width but that made the sidebar widgets not fit.

All I want to do is make the margins more narrow than the “960px” smallest option for site width. I want something like 860px width on the pages that do not have widgets (ie all PAGES, not posts).

Is there any way to do this ? I really really really appreciate the help!

Thanks you.

I’m using Smpl SkeletonVersion: 2.1.0 with wordpress 4.1.1

i created 2 Custom Template Pages by using the setting of “onecolumn-page.php” .. because i don’t want Side Bar on these Pages..

i m having problem, when i activate any side Bar Widget for other Pages, then my Custom Pages went on Eleven column and it shrink my Custom Template Pages and shows the Empty Side Bars. on the other Hand Widgets on Side Bar showing properly with Default Page Template.

after this situation i try to modify the Theme Function (functions.php), and found column width setting on “skeleton_set_colwidth”.

i added my template pages here like this:

// Single Pages
} elseif ( is_page() ) {
$page_wide = is_page_template(‘onecolumn-page.php’);
$page_wide = is_page_template(‘myfirstcustom-page.php’);
$page_wide = is_page_template(‘mysecondtcustom-page.php’);
// make sure no Page widgets are active
if ( !is_active_sidebar(‘sidebar-2’) || $page_wide ) {
$columns = ‘sixteen’;
}

}

then it worked for only one custom Page at a time and other page remain shrink to Eleven Column.

on this situation my Actual Question is.. how can i add Many One Column Custom Template Pages without having this issue.

Here in the demo of Simple Skeleton, this is done very nicely here:
https://themes.simplethemes.com/skeleton/news/

All of the latest POSTS (aka the BLOG part of the website) are linked to from the menu. You click on “Sample Blog” on the menu, and then you see the list of blog posts, with a thumbnail image beside each.

However, it is completely unclear HOW to do this, for the user, from within the theme.

Here is what I have tried, and each one has a problem:

1) I created a category “blog” and gave every single post that category, and then created a menu linking to the category “blog”. The problems with this are that
–a) this creates a messy url structure. Instead of just being https://www.mysite.com/blog, it shows up as https://www.mysite.com/category/blog/
–b) none of the image thumbnails show up next to the blog snippet. (I tried with both an image inserted into the post AND with a featured image).

2) Using the “latest posts” shortcode suggested here: https://themes.simplethemes.com/skeleton/documentation/

I inserted the short code [latest excerpt=”true” thumbs=”true” width=”50″ height=”50″ num=”5″ cat=”blog″] right into the page, but it just shows up AS the shortcode on the page.

So [latest excerpt=”true” thumbs=”true” width=”50″ height=”50″ num=”5″ cat=”blog″] just shows up right there on the page. Nothing else.

I am using the latest version of wordpress, which is 4.1, and latest Smpl Skeleton version. Should I downgrade to an eariler wordpress version?

Please PLEASE help. I need a “blog” on my blog…It’s kind of the point!

Thanks in advance for the help.

I am using the supplied child theme and have some questions, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

I have added support for post formats via functions.php and it works fine but I’m now busy styling these differently and need some pointers..

I have copied single.php and loop-single.php to my child theme and have modified loop-single.php to output different HTML depending on the post format
i.e.

<?php if ( has_post_format( 'image' )) { ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('single-image'); ?>>
.
.
.
	</div><!-- .entry-content -->

<?php } else { ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('single'); ?>>
.
.
.
	</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php } ?>

And this works too but now I am wondering how to hide the sidebar when showing a certain post format.

Would I need to edit single.php like this to do that or is there a better mroe elegant way?

<?php
/**
 * The Template for displaying all single posts.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage skeleton
 * @since skeleton 0.1
 */

get_header();
do_action('skeleton_before_content');
get_template_part( 'loop', 'single' );
do_action('skeleton_after_content');

if ( !(has_post_format( 'image' ))) { get_sidebar();} 

get_footer();
?>

I added the IF statement to hide the sidebar.

Hi,
is it possible to downloand & import demo of this site? (xml)?

I need to create a page summarizing all the blog posts in a site I’m working on. However there isn’t a “blog” template to select when creating this page. The closest option I can see is using a categories page to display links to all the posts marked under the category that applies. But I’d prefer to have a page like this:

https://themes.simplethemes.com/skeleton/news/

I’m entering html in header text<customize<appearance and in back panel it’s displaying correctly however in the live site it does not. any ideas? or better way to work this out?
Thank you

I want to add social icons to the header area right hand side, just under where “Header Extra Text” places the text. How can I do this?

when using a responsive menu plug in, how can i hide the menus links from the main navigation, what to use a drop down menu instead of the menu that is used now.

Hello,

The child theme of smpl skeleton (the one that is provided with the smpl Skeleton download) seems to cause a conflict.

Version WordPress 4.0, plugins i installed: Yoast (WordPress SEO) and Contact Form 7

I also had the ‘Under construction’ plugin activated. This morning i de-activated this plugin and published the website. Right from this moment i could not access the back-end. The wp-admin page was white. The website was normal. I could browse thru the website but I could nog login anymore. With FTP i renamed the plugin map, created an new plugin map and uploaded every plugin one at a time. I still could not login. Then i renamed the child theme and i could login again. In the back-end i activated the Smpl Skeleton theme (the original one) and the login problems were gone.

Then i remamed again the child theme map to the original name, activated the child theme and de login problems again occured.

In the child theme i did some extra .ccs code and copied the category.php to get rid of the “Category Archives:” complement before the blog title.

.css code:

@import url(“../smpl-skeleton/style.css”);

.imgb {
border:1px solid #cccccc;
}

#navigation li.current_page_item a,
#navigation li.current_page_parent a {
color: ff3700;
background: fff;
}

category.php:

get_header();
do_action(‘skeleton_before_content’);

?>

<h1 class=”page-title”><?php
printf( __( ‘%s’, ‘smpl’ ), ‘<span>’ . single_cat_title( ”, false ) . ‘</span>’ );
?></h1>
<?php
$category_description = category_description();
if ( ! empty( $category_description ) )
echo ” . $category_description . ”;
/* Run the loop for the category page to output the posts.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-category.php and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘category’ );
do_action(‘skeleton_after_content’);
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
?>

My website: https://www.webmarketing.nu/ (Dutch)

I realy would like to use the child theme to make use of the updates of WP.

Does anybody have an idea how i can solve this problem?

Thanks!
