Hi @xpurge

Very sorry, but would you mind explaining further or showing me an example of what exactly it is you’re trying to do with post titles on search? Thanks in advance!

Hi @xpurge

To use the three columns layout in Gillian, you’ll want to change the Page Template from ‘Default’ to ‘Three Columns’. If you need some more step-by-step guidance on how to do this, feel free to take a look at my documentation for using Page Templates with Gillian.

Hi Chaitanya,

There is no recommended background size, as there’s really no right — or at least no universal — answer to what background size you should use for every project.

Once you’ve uploaded and selected an image to use as your background, you’ll be able to use different presets to display that image, like Fill Screen, Fit to Screen, and Repeat. The size of your image is up to you, but it’s probably best to consider which preset you want to use. For instance, it would make sense to choose a larger image if you’re using the ‘Fill Screen’ preset than if you’re using ‘Repeat.’

If you’re looking to use a preset like ‘Fill Screen,’ what you’ll want to do is find an image that is large enough to look good at different resolutions, without being too large to significantly hurt your site’s loading times. If you’re using an image that is 500 pixels wide, this might quickly look distorted at larger screens, but one that’s 1400 pixels wide for instance might look much better.

I can’t give you an exact size that will work best, though, since this doesn’t really have anything to do with what theme you’re using. It really depends on the screen resolution (and width of the browser window) that you and your users are visiting your site on. If you want some more ideas or tips, you might Google some statistics on common resolutions for web design, or look for more info on how to set up your own analytics to see how people are viewing your site to get personalized stats.

@lola57 I’ve just published an update for Gillian that should address this issue. After you’ve updated to Gillian version 1.0.7, the first time you click on a parent menu item on an iPad or tablet, it should bring up the submenu. Click again on the parent menu item to go to that page.

You should be notified in your WordPress dashboard once the update is available for you.

@ve7gct If this update also addresses your problem, great! If not, would you mind posting your own topic and including a link to your site so I can try to help further? It’ll help me to keep track of who I’m helping (and also prevent the original poster of this topic from getting email updates about something that isn’t specific to them). Thank you!

Hi Ruth,

Sorry that the default button isn’t working out for you. Of course you’re welcome to change it as you see fit!

In your dashboard, go to Appearance –> Editor and navigate to header.php. Find the following line (it’s toward the bottom of the file):

<button id="menu-button" class="menu-toggle" aria-controls="primary-menu" aria-expanded="false"><?php esc_html_e( 'Primary Menu', 'heidi' ); ?></button>

Where it says ‘Primary Menu’ you can change it to say ‘Menu’ or any other wording of your choice.

To change the styling of the button to something like what you’ve described here, you can add this code in Customize –> Additional CSS:

#menu-button {
	box-shadow: none;
	padding: 10px;
	font-size: .9em;
	font-weight: bold;
	text-transform: uppercase;
	text-shadow: none;
	background-color: transparent;
	border: 2px solid #fff;
	color: #fff;
	transition: .5s ease all;
}

#menu-button:hover, #menu-button:focus {
	background-color: #6a7851;
}

The background color #6a7851 for the hover state is a darker shade of the green you’re currently using in the header of your site; of course, you can change this and any other aspect of the button as you like!

Great! I’m marking this topic as resolved then; feel free to start a new one if you run into any other issues.

Hmm, very strange. I’m trying on some different devices but I can’t seem to recreate the problem. Are you using any plugins? I’d try temporarily disabling any plugins to see if they might be causing the issue. Otherwise do you think you could send me either a link to the site (not sure if it’s the same one you posted in your lost topic; I see that one is currently locked) or a screencap of the issue so I can try to look into it further…?

Ah okay, I understand the issue now! What’s happening is that when you touch the top level link on the iPad it’s going to that page rather than bringing up the sublevel menu at all. To work around this, you could make the top level link to # and it shouldn’t refresh the page when you touch it but instead bring up the submenu like you’re wanting. Here’s a screenshot of what I mean, if that helps.

Hi @lola57

I’m sorry that you’re having an issue! Could you please clarify what exactly you’re experiencing with the submenus on the iPad?

I do see that you have a lot of submenus (and third-level submenus) in your navigation. I’m not sure if this is your problem, but if the issue is that the submenus are running off the right side of the screen, you could try going to Customize –> Additional CSS and adding this code:

@media all and (min-width: 768px) {

	.bottom-navigation ul ul a {
		width: 150px;
	}

}

What this does is make the width of the submenus a little smaller, so they should extend less far across the screen. This may not completely address the problem, however, and I might also suggest adjusting the order in the navigation so that items with a lot of sub-level entries in them are a little further to the left, to avoid falling off the right side of the screen.

If I’ve misunderstood your issue and there’s something else happening with the submenus for you, please let me know and I’ll try to see if there’s something else I can do!

Hi @ruthbillheimer

So what’s happening here is that your links on hover are getting set to the same color as the sidebar; this is a remnant from when the ‘Sidebar Color’ used to be ‘Secondary Color’ for the whole theme. I agree that the issue you’re experiencing is confusing and frustrating, and I’ll make a note to add an option in the Customizer to be able to directly edit the hover link color in the main content area.

Until I get a chance to upload this change, however, I’ve tested out the suggestion from @poonam9 and that should really work as a fix for now! Did you copy out exactly what she’s posted? The !important part is really well…important. ??
