    Hello, sorry for the delay getting back to you. To do this you’ll need to create a child theme (you could modify the theme directly, but you would loose your changes the next time the theme is updated). I would recommend working through this page to create a basic child theme. You will then need to follow the following steps (I can provide more specific help on them when you get to those points);

    1. Find the function daniela_entry_footer from the original theme and copy it into your child themes functions.php file. Modify this to include the date and any other information you want theme.

    2. Copy the files content.php and content-link.php into your child theme. Find the header html tags and modify them to call daniela_entry_footer().
    Find the footer and delete it.

    3. In your style.css make any style updates you need for spacing changes etc.

    Anyway, I hope that’s some help to you. Making a child theme can seem rather complex if you’re not used to this sort of thing, but if you want to have a go just take it one step at a time and come back if you have any questions.

    Hello, do you have a live website I can look at?

    Hello, it’s possible to modify the site logo, but you would have to make a child theme, which is relatively complicated. You may find it simpler to add a header image instead (look under Header Image in the customiser) as this should display your image in it’s original dimensions.

    Hello, sorry for the delay getting back to you, I’ve been away. If you’re still interested you can eliminate the side padding by installing a custom css plugin (there’s one in Jetpack) and adding to following css:

    .full-width .entry-header,
.full-width .entry-content,
.full-width .entry-footer,
.full-width .comments-area,
.front-page .hero-content .entry-header,
.front-page .hero-content .entry-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

    Hello, there are two possible approaches:

    1. Install a custom css plugin and add some extra rules. This is the easiest option, but has the disadvantage that it doesn’t change the theme’s image sizes. Your pictures might not fit your wider spaces properly.

    2. Create a child theme. This is more complicated, but it does let you adjust your images sizes.

    If you’re still interested I’ll do by best to guide you through whichever option you prefer.

    Front page widgets 1, 2 and 3 only appear when you create a page using the front page template. They should be appear in a row at the bottom of the front page.

    The theme update should be available now. That should fix the problem, but let me know if there are still issues.

    Hi, thanks for using my theme, and sorry about the bug (I think it crept in late in the review process). I’ve just submitted an updated version, which will hopefully appear in your dashboard in a few days time.

    Hello, thanks for using my theme. The easiest way to do this is to install a custom css plugin(there’s one included in Jetpack, or here’s a standalone one if you prefer). Use this to enter the following code, replacing the colors with your own choices.

    .site-description {
   /* The tagline color. */
   color: red;
}

.main-navigation a {
    /* The color of the menu bar text. */
    color: blue;
}

.main-navigation a:hover,
.main-navigation .focus > a {
    /* The color for hovered links in the menu. */
    color: green;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
.main-navigation {
        /* The color of the menu border. */
        border-top-color: orange;
        border-bottom-color: orange;
    }
}

    Hello, it looks like you’re still using the custom css above, so try updating it to this:

    .site-branding {
    float: none;
    padding: 20px 0;
    text-align: center;
}

    Hello, if you look at the source code for your site you should see the meta tags inside your <head> section. If you’re trying to edit them I think a plugin like Yoast SEO should be able to help you there.

    Elucidate comes with quite a small footer as standard, it just supports the ‘Proudly powered by WordPress’ text and an optional menu for your social media links. If you let me know what plugins you’ve tried I’ll take a look and see if there’s anything in particular stopping them from working.

    EDIT: Sorry, seem to have managed to double post.

    Hello, it would probably be possible, but you might have to hard code the images in the header as it’s not something WordPress supports by default. Sorry I’m not being more help, but I’m still not entirely sure what you’re aiming for. Do you want the header image to be wider than the screen on small screens?

    Ah ok, how many people have made posts to your website? The theme will only display the byline at all if more than one person has posted.

    Hello, It would be possible to have an image wider than the rest of the page, but I’m not sure it would work well. If possible can you post a screenshot at a narrow width so I can get a better idea what you’re trying to achieve.

    Hello, If you want to make theme modifications it’s best to make a child theme so you don’t loose your changes next time the theme get’s updated.

    The code you posted above is trying to print an empty string so nothing will show up. Here is the original function:

    function elucidate_byline() {
	printf( __( 'by', 'elucidate' ) . ' ' . '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s">%2$s</a></span>',
		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_author() )
	);
}

    If you want to override the original function in a child them you would just have to remove the bit at the start:

    function elucidate_byline() {
	printf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s">%2$s</a></span>',
		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_author() )
	);
}
