A few questions from a first time blogger

  • Hey WordPress Community, I am new to blogging/web design and have finally made my first site (mindandbodystrong.com). My site is simple at the moment and will flourish as I put more effort into it and become familiar with web design. I am currently utilizing the 2016 WordPress Theme and I had a few questions below, thanks for the help!

    1) My widget that I have on my content bottom1 is my contact info page, however it only appears if someone clicks on something on my site. Is there a way to have it constantly viewable?

    2) When posting a link to my articles on other sites such as Facebook, is there a way to have a picture appear in the link without having any media actually in the article itself?

    3) I plan on having multiple categories on my site. When clicking on a a category I notice it takes you to a page where you can scroll through all of your post. Is there a way to have it provide a drop down on the individual articles so you can select a specific one and only have one article a page, or take you to a page that provides links to each one of your articles so you can choose or is this a theme issue?

    4) When I wrote in some tags for my site they appeared on the side bar under where it shows the date of the article, is their a way to have tags without them showing to the public?

    Generally it relates with the site’s presentation which is handled by the theme you are using. The Twenty Sixteen only offers to display widgets below the post details page.

    To set an image preview while sharing your post on social networking site like Facebook, you can use the Yoast SEO plugin. Visit this link which tell you the walkthrough.

    It is theme related matter and it isn’t considered as an issue; Twenty Sixteen displays posts archive like so. If you want to display the post title link only, try adding the following custom CSS code: 

    
.archive .entry-content,
.archive .entry-footer{
  display: none;
}

.archive .site-main > article{
  margin-bottom: 0;
}

    Use custom CSS plugin like TJ Custom CSS to apply custom CSS code.

    To hide it, you can add this custom CSS code: 

    
.tags-links{
  display: none !important;
}

    I hope this reply helps.

    Best,
