Site Identity Logo

Hi,

Can you add a link to your site where the theme is running, please. That link you included above looks like a preview link and doesn’t work properly for me.

Thanks.

Hi Anthony,
This is still in staging because I want to know if it’s going to work before moving it over to production.
Here’s a link to the staging website: https://7a2.b8d.myftpupload.com.
Thanks, Charlie

Hi Anthony,

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong.
How do I get rid of the sidebar so it is a one-column page?

Thanks again, Charlie

Hi Charlie,

If it’s a Page you’re talking about, you can select the Full-Width Page template in the Page Attributes panel when editing your page.

If it’s a single Post page you’re referring to, then you’ll need to override the single.php template in your child theme.

Thanks Anthony for the information.

Two other questions – 1. Is there user documentation on the Ephemeris theme?

2 – How do you manage the font size for a blockquote in the Ephemeris theme?
It seems the default is a very large font size. I know I can go into each one in the page coding and change the font size manually. But is there a way to manage them through the theme? It seems like if I change the font size manually that it doesn’t change the padding/line spacing between lines, making it look like double/extra spacing between lines.

Thanks again! Charlie

Hi Charlie,

At the moment the doco is in the readme file, in the theme folder. I do plan on writing up some more detailed information when I get the chance though.

You can see an example of all the different fonts/sizes used throughout the theme on this Typography page on my theme demo.

If you want to change the size of the Blockquote font and also the line-height, you can simply add the following to the Additional CSS panel in the Customizer.

blockquote p {
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 1.2;
}

(Of course, the above is just an example. You can change the sizes to whatever you want. I wouldn’t recommend reducing line-height to less than 1.2 though otherwise the lines tend to look too cramp and start to get hard to read)

That worked great! I moved it into production. Thanks again!

I’m getting an SEO issue with the theme. Here’s the error message:
Your page has 1 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:

How do I resolve that issue?

The only way to fix that is to pull apart all the css and only show what is absolutely necessary to render the page. This is kinda hard to do as each page is different and it makes maintaining it significantly harder.

I would suggest installing a caching plugin on your site such as WP Super Cache. That will more than offset that tiny google warning.
