Just wanted to let you know the update has been approved so it should be showing in your admin area now. Hopefully that should take care of the issue, but let me know if I can help with anything else.

Hello again, theme updates overwrite any changes you make to a theme, so that should fix the problem either way.

If you look at the themes page in your site admin you can see what themes have updates available (and click through to apply the update). I’ll also post here to let you know when the update has been approved.

Ok, I’ve just spotted the silly mistake in my code (sorry), it is in that return early bit. I’ll submit an update in a minute, which should show up for you in the next few days.

To answer your other question, you can put as many widgets as you want in each area and they’ll appear in a column, use front page areas 2 and 3 as well if you would like a row.

Sorry, a couple more questions: Can I ask what browser you’re using and if you’ve modified the theme at all?

That’s odd, it seems to be working properly on this end. Would you be able to post screenshots of your front page and widget area on admin please? I’d like to help sort out the problem.

Hello, sorry but I’m not sure I’m following entirely. Are you saying that you can’t get the widgets to show up on the front page at all? If so let me know and I’ll do what I can to help.

You’re right that the widgets on the sidebar are horizontal, and in hindsight I should have described them better.

On the final point, Do you want the one widget area to fill the full width of the page? Again let me know and I’ll write some instructions if that’s the case.

Hello, sorry for the delay ( it’s a busy time of year ?? ). That’s an error in the theme I’m afraid, but I’ve just submitted a new version, so once that is approved you should get the update on your site.

Hello, the new version is in the repository now, so hopefully everything will work once you’ve upgraded to that.

Hello, you could make a child theme, but the simplest way would be to install a custom css plugin and change it there. You’ll need to enter something like this:

.site-branding {
    padding: 20px 0;
}

You might need to adjust the 20px up or down to find what looks best. Hope that helps.

I apologise, it looks like my mistake in the code. I’ll put together a bug fix update and let you know when it passes review.

The only way I can see to do this right now is to disable the replacement altogether. I’m afraid I haven’t had time to test this, but try adding the code shown here to your child theme’s functions.php

Hello, I think this is a general WordPress issue. In any posts WordPress automatically replaces a number of characters for you ( for example (c) becomes ? ). Usually this is a helpful feature, but in this situation I can see how it has become a problem. I’ll see if I can find a good way to disable this later, but you will probably get a faster answer if you ask on the general support forum.

Hello, sorry for the delay getting back to you with this. The simplest way to do this is with the Jetpack custom css feature. Install the plugin and activate custom css, then use it to add this code to your site. This will give you a fluid layout which will get cramped on small screens, so if you want to make a fixed layout add this too:

#page {
	width: 920px;
}

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions.

Sounds like the best course of action I think, best of luck sorting it all out.

Ok, well done sorting it out. If you haven’t already I would try using the plugin with a different theme to make sure it’s definitely a theme problem.
