Almost done with my site. Minor Tweaks Desired

Hi Xinori. In the future, unless the questions are all related to a specific topic, it would probably be best to split them out into separate topics so other users could find them. However, for this time, hopefully this will help get you started.

1.
– Find the icon codes here: https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/.
– Use your browser “Inspect elements” to find the individual menu item class names.
– Set the default styles for the icons:

/* set menu icon defaults */
#nav-topbar .nav a:before {
  display: inline-block;
  font: normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome;
  margin-right: 5px;
  color: #fff;
}

– Apply the icons to the menu items:

/* add home icon */
#nav-topbar .nav .menu-item-122 a:before {
  content: "\f015";
}

2. This is how the site you linked does it:
– Theme Options > Footer > Footer Ads ON.
– Install Kiwi Logo Carousel plugin to create a carousel shortcode.
– Install the Shortcodes Ultimate plugin.
– Add the Shortcodes Ultimate widget to the Footer Ads sidebar.
– Drop the Carousel shortcode in the widget.

3.
– Edit each category and add a short description.
– Copy archive.php from the parent theme to your child theme.
– Modify the child theme archive.php to display the category description (without the notebox) after the category title (at the beginning of the file).
– Position the description using css in your child theme.

4. See this thread for a related discussion.

Whoa, bdbrown. Thank You so much, and the point is well taken on future requests so that other will find answers easier. My apologies for placing all on one thread.

Well thanks to you 1. and 2. Have been knocked out of the park! My site already looks so much better!

Now I am stuck on 3. I am in the archive.php but I dont know exact what code to alter or how to turn on descriptions, sorry im new to this coding. Something here perhaps?

<?php if ((category_description() != '') && !is_paged()) : ?>
			<div class="notebox">
				<?php echo category_description(); ?>

I am also afraid that I will have trouble in the part u ask to tweak it in css if it comes down to it.

Either way, thank you so much, for all your time and efforts.

Hey brimoknight,
Can you tell me how you set the scrolling text on the middle of the page? i think i can use it for breaking news or something.
Thanks!

Yes, you’re on the right track. You don’t need to “turn on” the category descriptions, just enter them on the category edit page. The theme code is checking to see if the category description is not blank ( != ” ) so if you enter a description it’s active by default.

Try this for #3:

1. In your child theme archive.php file, remove this section of code (save it for later):

<?php if ((category_description() != '') && !is_paged()) : ?>
	<div class="notebox">
		<?php echo category_description(); ?>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>

2. Copy /inc/page-title.php from the parent theme to the same path in your child theme.

3. Locate this section in page-title.php:

<?php elseif ( is_category() ): ?>
	<h1><i class="fa fa-folder-open"></i><?php _e('Category:','hueman'); ?> <span><?php echo single_cat_title('', false); ?></span></h1>

4. Add the code you saved from archive.php; change <div class=”notebox”> to <div class=”my-category-desc”>:

<?php elseif ( is_category() ): ?>
	<h1><i class="fa fa-folder-open"></i><?php _e('Category:','hueman'); ?> <span><?php echo single_cat_title('', false); ?></span></h1>
	<?php if ((category_description() != '') && !is_paged()) : ?>
		<div class="my-category-desc">
			<?php echo category_description(); ?>
		</div>
	<?php endif; ?>

5. Add the following css to your child theme style.css file:

.page-title h1 {
  display: inline-block;
  float: left;
  margin-right: 15px;
}
.my-category-desc {
  display: inline-block;
  float: left;
  text-transform: capitalize;
}

If you want the description to be all uppercase like the title, remove the “text-transform” line.

Hey Trance4eva, this is how I did it:
Theme Options > Blog > Heading
In the heading section i typed this:

<a href="linkhere"><marquee class="GeneratedMarquee" direction="left" scrollamount="3" behavior="scroll">Title/Information Here</marquee></a>

Its basic HTML but its been doing the job so far, so hope this helps you! Simply replace (linkhere) and (Title/Information Here) with whatever you want.

Yo bdbrown, that’s simply amazing! Thanks! I must admit I’m a little hesitant to try all that, but you dont learn unless you try… and I like diving deep. So, I’ll let you know the outcome once I attempt it. Thanks Again!

Thanks alot, brimoknight!

@trance My Pleasure!

@bdbrown, thank you so much for all of your help. I have accomplished all of these things I listed. On #4 I decided to go a slightly different route.

Oh, there is another thing I am wanting but do u want me to open a new thread? Its regarding placing the Paper.li embed I have currently on my home page in a footer widget and actually placing it in the post content area (as in the posts showing is currently 6, well the bottom two would be removed and then there will be 4 recent posts showing, in that lower area id like the Paper.li to be neatly if possible) Thanks again for everything!

Also, do you have a link as a tip jar? Paypal etc? ^-^ Thanks!

@Xinori – Glad everything is working. No tips…;-) Helping here is a volunteer gig; I do it as a way to give back to the WP community and to Alex for donating a great theme.
Yes, it would be best to start a new topic. If we’re done with this one please mark it as Resolved. Thanks.

Very well then, thanks again.

I truly appreciate your assistance and dedication. I also join in gratitude to Alex for such and awesome theme. See ya around!

RESOLVED WITH THE MOST EXCELLENT OF HELP!
Quality people with Quality results!
^-^
