Thanks for replying! It’d still be great to know how to do this, but I have settled on centering both the header and the nav.

I would nonetheless try playing around with the default template settings in the theme options, this seemed to do it for me.

In the end I moved to another theme (Yoko), but I did find a workaround. I’m not 100% sure of the details anymore, but I believe I noticed this happening only when I had the full-width template as default. What I ended up doing instead was specifying the full-width template for each page, and then the feeds worked properly.

Hopefully this works out for you!

I am looking at Firebug, but it seems to me the only thing overriding it is admin-bar.css. But I’m assuming that’s probably not true?

It’s strange, I set the #wpadminbar a {color: } property, but it seems like it’s getting overridden still. Is this the right thing to be setting, in my child theme’s style.css?

It looks like the reason is that Yoko just sets the chosen link color on a {}, which affects all links. What is the “proper” way to set site-wide links but not affect the header?

To my site? Or is that something in the CSS?

Bump, any ideas?

Just wanted to report back that this works!

Perhaps this would be a good suggestion for the Import coders to make something along these lines an option by default, or perhaps that WordPress should use something other than hard URLs when inserting images?

Right now it looks like what has worked is doing an export.

I then find-and-replaced all size-full with size-large in the export file.

Then I modified the WordPress code as per this: https://www.doc4design.com/articles/wordpress-better-naming-of-thumbnails/

So now all of the large thumbnails, regardless of their actual resolution, will be called imagename-large.jpg

And finally, once this big import is complete, I’ll do a SQL search through the database and replace the src=”…imagename.jpg” with imagename-large.jpg

Ah, right, this is a good solution for the display (although that’s not the issue). The problem is that the full resolution images are like 2MB, whereas the resized ‘thumbnail’ is like 256kb, so just HTML/CSS-resizing the images really slows down the page loads.

Unfortunately that won’t work, because each image file has slightly different dimensions, and so just replacing them with a set string of text won’t work. What I really need is a plugin that can go in and fix the img src’s.

Just wanted to give this a *bump* and see if anyone had run into this issue (and better yet, found a solution)?

Good point, Otto, but I think perhaps more useful would be to still allow the user to change, but add a note that the current theme doesn’t support them. I just think it’s really confusing, as a user who had no idea about Post Formats, to see them listed on the Post Overview page, but then have no idea how to change them in the actual post, or what they even meant.

… But I suppose in the end this is a discussion for those coding WordPress ??

Thanks again for your help!

So I figured this out after a lot of digging. As it turns out, I had to go into my theme’s functions.php and add this line:

add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'gallery', 'link', 'image', 'quote', 'status', 'video', 'audio', 'chat' ) );

After that, I got a menu at the right of my edit/add post page called ‘Format’ giving me all of these options.

I think this is a bit confusing on the part of WordPress. Granted, if a theme doesn’t support displaying all of these different post types, then maybe it makes sense to not show these options by default. But if you’re going to hint that they are there and then provide me no way to edit them, I’ll just be frustrated.
