I don’t see the point in ‘centering’ it using the left margin if it’s not going to render in the responsive view??

I’d like it centered, regardless of device so yes, the custom code was the only way to achieve this? Unless there’s another way to achieve this for both desktop and mobile?

Hi MartinaCity,

For your first question, I think it’s the same issue I had. I have set the header up to be a custom logo and not a ‘header image’. I had to set the url to link to when I was actually selecting the file during the file selection process in the media library. When viewing the file in the media library there was a section to ‘redirect to custom url’ and that’s what I chose and then put in my website address.

For question 2, I haven’t done a post yet so know idea about that. But I tried to look at all the settings under Writing, Reading and the Parabola Post settings but couldn’t see anything.

Regards.

If anyone else is wanting to do this, I achieved it by altering to the following code. I added in the ‘text-align:center’ style and this worked.

I put the code in the custom CSS section rather than alter the actual stylesheet.

#header-container > div {
padding: 10px;
margin-top: 20px;
text-align: center;
}

Bryan333- You should be able to alter your sidebar by going to ‘Widgets’ in your control panel of WordPress. The Widgets section shows you all the ‘widget’ items in your sidebar or footer. Which you can then drag off if you want to remove them. You can also add relevant widgets like the example you showed to include things like the ‘archive’ or ‘twitter feed’.

Hope that helps.

HipHopSpeakeasy, nice site.

Sorry to hijack here but I was wondering how you got content in your footer of this theme? Are you using a plugin for this?

I’m using Vantage to with a child theme and just trying to figure this one out.

Thanks in advance.

DISREGARD ABOVE QUESTION. Thanks was having a moment and thought to check the widgets page..voila! Footer section to add widgets.

I created a child theme of Vantage in the end and updated the relevant php files with the changes detailed further above to make this permanent. So now whenever I update the parent theme, it doesn’t override my custom settings for the Featured Image.

Hi RoamingPro,

It’s on the homepage: https://www.weresumes.com

Thanks for looking.

Hi Greg,

I actually was playing around with this while waiting for the support reply. I got the hex code of the colour I wanted to change and then searched for it in the style.css. I found it in the ‘body.layout-full’ class and changed it to #ffffff here.

I’m not sure if this is advised to do and as far as I could tell it didn’t effect any other background colours?

I too noticed the bug with the centring of the main image and used the above code to centre it. Although I omitted the #main-slider class.

Thanks.

Hi,

I thought I might add that I also removed the same code from the content.php as I wanted to turn off the featured image from the actual blog page too. I just use small feature images within the body copy as well.

Thanks for the compliment!

I’ve checked out a few other plugins for pricing but they didn’t suit the style. I’ll check out the widget though. Thanks.

Belinda.

Hi Greg,

I’ve actually found a workaround for this. I removed the following code from the content-single.php.

<?php if( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>
<div class=”entry-thumbnail”><?php the_post_thumbnail( is_active_sidebar(‘sidebar-1’) ? ‘post-thumbnail’ : ‘vantage-thumbnail-no-sidebar’ ) ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>

The featured image now displays in the Post Loop on the home page but not within the blog post page.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for this. I’m still a bit confused though.

I’ve installed the simple-image-sizes plugin. It allows you to set the widths of images for (what I’m guessing) are classes within the style sheet. For example I can change dimensions for: post-thumbnail-size, vantage-slide-size, vantage-carousel-size.

However nothing I change seems to effect the featured image. Here’s a post example.

When I check the source I can see the class attached to the featured image. Should I create a new custom thumbnail size using the plugin, named the same as below?

<img width=”200″ height=”107″ src=”https://weresumes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screen-Shot-2013-10-07-at-8.51.21-AM-200×107.png&#8221; class=”attachment-post-thumbnail wp-post-image” alt=”Screen Shot 2013-10-07 at 8.51.21 AM”>

Thanks in advance.
