full text, featured image, centering menu

Hi, I’m not sure what you’re trying to achieve exactly with issues #1 and #2 after looking at your site’s main page. Perhaps for #1 you could try this:

* Go to your WP dashboard menu Appearance – Themes , find Hueman and click on the “Customize” button.
* From the customizer menu navigate to Front Page Content and make sure the option Display the full post content is checked. You can also find the same option for full text instead of excerpts under Main body design and then Post Lists Design and Content… in case you don’t want that for the front page.

Regarding #3, this in a child theme CSS should align the menu links to center. Good luck!

.main-header-menu li {
    position: relative;
    text-align: center;
}

Thank you for responding. Since I posted the question, I have been trying out other themes, though I still prefer the look of Hueman compared to others. IF you looked at my site, it could have been when I was using one of them.

I will try the CSS.

I do have that checked, but it is still showing an excerpt/summary.

I should add it is also checked in the dashboard settings.

You’re welcome! You’re right it was a different theme I was looking at for the centered menu items. Now that it’s back to Hueman, what worked for me centering them was simply adding text-align: center; as seen in the block of CSS below:

#nav-header .nav ul {
    background-color: #000000;
    text-align: center;
}

Perhaps you can try it in a child theme style.css or the Advanced options – Additional CSS of customizer.

Very odd how you can’t get the posts to display in full instead of excerpts (I looked at your News page).

One thing that might work, and I stress you should use a child theme for that, is finding all Hueman PHP files that make mention of <?php the_excerpt(); ?> and copy them with the same name and path into a child theme’s directory. Then you could replace <?php the_excerpt(); ?> with <?php the_content(); ?> (in the child theme files) and give it a try.

Directions on making a child theme here. This way if everything goes wrong, you can still start over by switching to the Hueman parent theme again which you won’t have changed ??

I hope it works! Good luck!

Hi Kallard,

Let us know once you finish adding, and have any question.

Thank you!

Okay, here is my progress so far….

I have made a child theme, which I have never done before. I used the plugin suggested in the tutorial linked above. The only files showing when I go to the editor are stylesheet and functions.

I have attempted to enter the code above for centering the menu in the additional CSS, the edit CSS, and on the file through the editor. None of that worked.

I assume there is more control in the pro version over the menu.

I am not quite certain where to go (what file) to look for the excerpt function in order to change it because that doesn’t appear in my child theme. It is still in the Hueman theme folder.

The only thing I was able to get to work in additional CSS so far is to make the sidebars white. However, they are only white where there is a widget, I would like the background of the sidebars also white….not sure where the control is for that.

I also assume that I would have more control over that in the pro version.

Hi @kallard,

I too have the Pro version, it is no different regards the area you are asking about but I too wanted the Sidebars set with a white background so here is what works for me.

Place this in you additional advanced CSS section in customiser.

.sidebar .sidebar-content, .sidebar .sidebar-toggle {background: #ffffff;}

This will set all your background in the right sidebar white and leave a grey background(thin vertical strip) when viewed minimised on a tablet or the iPad to indicate that you have sidebar content.

Its a no brainer to give it a try..

Let me know if this helps.

That is what I already have. It did change my background where there is a widget, but it did not change the background when I scroll down below the widgets….so if my main content goes farther down than my widgets, there will be grey space.

Got the menu centered using:
#nav-header .nav {
text-align: center;
}

(Without the code for color)

Still need to get the full text thing fixed.

Ok Kallard,

I have the pro theme,this CSS rule sets my whole sidebar column background white regardless of widgets or not.

I have not updated to the latest pro theme version yet allowing a soak period.

Good luck finding a solution.
