Thank you SO FRICKING MUCH Anthony, that solved the problem! You are the best, Claudia

Could you provide with css what would stop all texts from hyphenating? I guess in body copy it’s not as bad but any titles, headlines and larger texts look bad. Thank you!

never mind, missed the bracket….

Anthony, would that bit of code above prevent hyphens on the whole site, or just in widgets? I have hyphenations happening all over my site https://batesvision.com.

There are a bunch of other problems but i am looking through support now to find help, and will otherwise post a new thread for those. Thank you! Claudia

Thanks Anthony for pointing me to the right place, this worked like a charm.

Code is not yet poetry for me ??

Thanks, I got it. Your code was perfect, I had just pasted it two lines too low.

Thanks Anthony,

I was changing the size in the wrong part of the code as you can see above.

Will post the following related issue as a new thread too since this is topic is resolved:
I have a related problem with the size of the body copy which I want to enlarge. Have tried every piece of the CSS px and rem settings for h5 and h6, but copy hasn’t gotten any larger. Does the copy have another tag than h5 or h6? I couldn’t find anything with body… Had no problems with h1 to make headlines bigger and wp-captions for the captions.

Hi Anthony,
I had the same syntax error with your first code snippet, and only now saw your amended code with those php tags added.

When I tried your new code, the dark grey banner seems to have stretched all the way to the bottom of my page, making the light grey type almost illegible and some text (e.g. Category Archive) huge. I took screen shots but don’t know how to upload them here. I cannot leave my website like that since people won’t be able to read anything.

How do I show what the problem is? My website is https://batesvision.com. But I changed the code back to the original for now, so you cannot see it. If you can let me know when you are available I can switch it back. I am in PST (California). Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks so much for your fabulous support, Anthony!

I will experiment with the different options i got now and go from there. ??

I had the same question, this helped! But I wasn’t able to make the social media icons larger. In your CSS, it reads:

/* Social Media icons */
.social-media-icons {
	float: right;
	text-align: right;
	height: 34px;
}

And I thought if I just change it to, for example:

/* Social Media icons */
.social-media-icons {
	float: right;
	text-align: right;
	height: 56px;
}

it would make them larger, but it didn’t work.

What’s the trick?

You rock Anthony!

I have a few other problems but will try all night and only bother you again if I really, positively, absolutely cannot figure it out myself…

Thanks Anthony!

1.+2. Yes, I was talking about the grey banner. You actually created the option of uploading an image in “Advanced Settings” within Theme Options. I uploaded the image of the chestnut tree (from homepage) to that banner but it cropped it to the size specified in the theme. I wanted to show the whole image, therefore I changed the height to 420px in the css. I understand now that that make the image non-responsive. Can you explain how I will have to change the header.php to accomplish this and have a different image for each page? I don’t know how to edit your code ?? Dabbling with the css is one thing I dare to do, but that’s about it.

Alternatively I tried to put text into the grey banner on the home page, but then the banner suddenly became taller. I didn’t want it to change from page to page in height, so I went back to the css and put a fixed height in to fix this temporarily. I do want to keep this bar responsive though (with or without images inside) to make sure it doesn’t use that much height when viewed on a small device. So let me know how I have to change that header.php to keep have it responsive AND variable in content.

Last but not least, I realized only now that my Site Title and Tagline don’t show up. I don’t want the title anyway since I uploaded a logo instead, but how can I see the site title? I went around this by adding the tagline to the front page banner widget using the text widget, but is there another way how it would show up automatically?

Solved 3. and 4. Thanks!

Thanks so much Anthony!

I realized that my iPhone showed that extra white space because of that long word in the headline. Will make sure to use shorter words now ??

Can you look at the link below? I still haven’t been able to fix what I mentioned above:

‘The issue I have now have the copy that was supposed to be between the first and second batch of images now shows up to the right of the first image (as if it’s trying to use the empty sidebar). How do I get rid of that and get the text back down?’

I realized I didn’t do the Regenerate Thumbnails properly, so that issue is fixed now, just need to know how to fix the text jumping up now.

But apart from that, what media settings are you recommending for your theme by the way? The WP settings where not changed when I activated your theme, so I changed them to this:

Thumbnails: 250 x 250
Medium Size: 792×0
Large Size: 1200×0

Would you adjust anything to make it work better within the grid/design?

Thanks!

Hi Anthony,

I had the same issue and getting rid of the sidebar worked well. Afterwards I changed the featured image size to 1200×454 in the functions.php, then ran Regenerate Thumbnails.

The latter did not change the featured image though, in fact my image wasn’t even shown at 792 (the original specs) width, but instead at 628 px width (which might have to do with the original image size). When I upload a completely new image, it shows up fine. Is there anything on existing images I can do, or is it easier to dump those and just upload them from scratch now?

The other issue I got after removing the sidebar on single posts is that any text I had between images now jumped up and put itself next to the first regular image of the post (which is 792 px wide), as if it’s using the “empty sidebar” now. So instead of seeing some text, then 5 images stacked, then more copy, then some images etc, I now have the copy that was supposed to be between the first and second batch of images on the right side of the first image (where the sidebar normally is). How do I get rid of that and get the text back down?

Thanks!
