Nope – you shouldn’t lose anything – I’d make a backup just in case if you’re concerned.

I’d recommend changing the Theme Name to Explicit Child ( And probably the description too, maybe “child of explicit theme. also change the text domain to explicit-child

after you’ve done that, upload the theme, and go the Appearance->Themes and activate “Explicit Child” which should be listed in your theme list

It’s not that complicated, actually, especially the only modification you need is CSS. I’d say Child theme would be the best approach, as it will let you make template changes without disrupting the theme in the future, should you need to.

There are lots of resources available that cover Child Themes, but here’s an example:

create a folder in themes – call it what you’d like your childtheme to be called. This can be (your theme name)-child, or something similar. Inside the Folder, create a single file, called style.css, and put this in it as a template:

/*
 Theme Name:   WP Simple Child Theme
 Theme URI:    https://www.example.com/
 Description:  WP Simple Child Theme
 Author:       TODO
 Template:     wp-simple
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
 Text Domain:  wp-simple-child-theme
*/

@import url("../wp-simple/style.css");

This is a child theme based on a theme called WP Simple.

The name, URL, and description can be called whatever you’d like. There are TWO important pieces that you need to make sure are correct. 1) The “Template” value should be the folder name of your parent theme. (The theme you currently have set up)

2) you need to make sure the @import path matches your folder structure. I’m 99% sure that you’ll only need to replace ‘wp-simple’ with the name of your theme folder.

Give it a shot and let me know how it works!

zoinks! sorry – lost track of this thread.

This is actually really easy to to. Go to CPT UI in the dashboard. Select Edit Post Types from the sub menu.

Click edit on your Letters post type, and switch “Archive” from False to True.

That should do it. Now your letters are available at https://westsub.mikediane.com/letters

let me know how that works!

Can you access the new post from the “View Post” link when you click to edit the post (above the post edit view)?

Can you post the template code of the template in which you expect to see the code? point to a live site, and let us know which theme youre using?

thanks!
Bryan

I’ve created a theme for you – you should be able to load it up, activated, and no longer be bothered by the author appearing! You can’t attach files here, so here’s a link to the theme I made for you on my github account:

https://github.com/purcebr/WP-Simple-Child-Theme

[Moderator Note: Please ensure that you are embedding links correctly in your posts. Link corrected.]

Click the “Download Zip” and rename the downloaded folder to natural-moves-yoga, and place it in your theme directory. Go to Appearance / themes and click activate on the “Natural Moves Yoga” and you should be in business!

Sorry for not being more clear – correct – don’t edit css in your theme – but the above code should work if you have a custom css panel in your theme, or if you have a custom style.css in a child theme.

OK – It’s WP Simple? Are you using a child theme? If not I can help you set up a basic child theme to get this going, pronto.

What’s the theme? Or a live link?

.bp-page .postinfo .thumbnail img.avatar {
width: 100% !important;
}

in your style.css Should fix the issue with your avatar images on the postinfo.

It’s not beautiful code – but it looks like some js is targeting the image with a width – so the !important will help override it.

Firstly – I’d recommend you place your “add_editor_style” call into the ‘admin_init’ action so you can be sure it’s fired at the appropriate time. Secondly, can you verify that your website can access the file at editor-style.css?

Visit: https://<your site url>/wp-content/themes/<your-theme-folder-name>/editor-style.css and make sure it loads? if not – can you verify permissions / file locations?

Another thing to try – load up the new posts admin page (with the editor) and go to view source. you should be able to search the source for “editor-style” and see the one you’re referring to in the tinymce code. If this isn’t found – WP is not able to access that file for some reason.

let me know how that looks.

thanks!

Can you send a list of the plugins you have listed in the Plugins screen of the WP dashboard?

Just click the “Plugins” Tab from the lefthand menu when logged into the backend as an administrator.

thanks!

Great – glad to here it’s resolved

I’m using Chrome, and the Read On Links work, and the Top Hover works. Can other reproduce this?

Sure – you could absolutely position the navigation – but that’s going to break your mobile navigation. I’m curious – why are concerned about editing the header.php file?
