Need a Little Help With My Vantage Theme

  • I am trying to rebuild my website and am working on the “About Us” page. I feel like I have been through all of the settings, and believe that I have checked/unchecked all of the needed boxes, but am still getting an area at the bottom of the page for comments or replies. I would like to get rid of this.

    Second, I thought that there was an area under “customize” to edit the “footer” padding initially, but am not getting the option to decrease the size at this time. I see the option to edit the “header padding or masthead.

    Third, I need to change the color of the bold lettering under the “circle widgets.” I have already used Jetpack to edit the color of the small subheading under the bold, but just cant find the answer to this issue.

    And, lastly, I have been trying to make a custom colored box to match my sites colors, so as to place text and an image within it. I would like it to have a white border too, if possible. Here is the page, and it would be the area that is currently written in the blue #69d2e7 color.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Hello!

    I am here to help you with your issues.

    Regarding the About Us page comments: in the Dashboard, please go to edit that particular page or post. Under the page’s or post’s content editing box (where you type in the post text), there should be a box called Discussion, and there an option to allow comments. Make sure that the checkbox is not checked.

    If the Discussion box is not visible, then go to the top of the page, and in the top right corner there is a Screen Options tab, click on that, and make sure the Discussion checkbox is checked. This should show the Discussion box.

    If that is not the cause of the problem, I think Jetpack also adds some kind of commenting capability, but in the current version I don’t see an option to turn that off.

    If everything fails, you can hide the whole comment section with css. Please use this code, with the Jetpack CSS Editor, or install the Simple Custom CSS plugin:

    .page-id-2 #single-comments-wrapper {
display: none;
}

    I will post my reply to the other two issues in a moment.

    For customizing the white space above the footer, in other words between the bottom of the content area and the footer, here is the necessary CSS code:

    article.post, article.page {
	border-bottom: 20px;
	padding-bottom: 20px;
}

    Just edit the px values to your needs. the border-bottom sets the white space between the content and the white line, the padding sets the space between the white line and the footer.

    Regarding the sidebar text color, from what I can tell, you have the Black studio TinyMCE plugin installed, so the easiest way is to change the color with that. Please go to Appearance->Widgets and open the proper widget. Here you should have the necessary text editing buttons to change the color (I cannot provide you with the exact widget area names, because I don’t know which theme you are using). Here is how it looks like on my site, but at you the Home Widget 1 will be different:

    Regarding the custom colored box, do you want just behind the sidebar, or behind the whole text area on your site?

    Cheers,
