Post Date
-
Hi, I really enjoy your theme and had a few questions.
I want the post date to show up next to the post author instead of having the mini calendar on the side. How would I get the post date to be in line with the post author?
Also, how can I move the RSS feed image and the top search bar to the bottom of the page rather than to the top of the page?
And lastly, how can I widen the whole body of my page? I want to widen it a bit more. Kind of like this site http://pulsarengine.com/. I saw this person’s site under the comments and liked how he widened his page, had the post date next to the post author, and put the RSS feed image somewhere else on the page.
Here is my site if looking at it helps!
skidmorenewsnetwork.com
So I think I figured out how to expand the width of almost everything. Generally I expanded it from 900 to 950.
However, when I try to upload my own header that is 950 x 198 it makes me crop it to 900. You can see so by going to my site, http://skidmorenewsnetwork.com/
How can I prevent the header settings from making me crop my header from 950 to 900?
Also, I still haven’t figured out how to adjust the color of the calendar or how to make the post date show up next to post author.
Thank you!

Modify the header width:

okay so i’ve created a child theme as follows
/*
Theme Name: Graphene Child
Description: Child theme for the Graphene theme
Author: Rachel
Template: graphene
Version: 0.1.0
*/
@import url(“../graphene/style.css”);
#header{
background-color:#000;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
height:198px;
margin-center:16px;
width:950px;
}
<?php
function graphene_custom_header_width(){
return 950;
}
function graphene_custom_header_height(){
return 198;
}
add_filter(‘graphene_header_image_width’, ‘graphene_custom_header_width’);
add_filter(‘graphene_header_image_height’, ‘graphene_custom_header_height’);
?>
This style.css is in wp-content/themes/graphene-child and I even put in the screenshot.png
My problem is that when I go to WordPress Appearance > Themes admin page I can’t see the child theme and I don’t know how to activate it.
Do you know what I’m doing wrong?

This bit of the code needs to go in
functions.php
file inside the child theme’s folder:<?php
function graphene_custom_header_width(){
return 950;
}
function graphene_custom_header_height(){
return 198;
}
add_filter('graphene_header_image_width', 'graphene_custom_header_width');
add_filter('graphene_header_image_height', 'graphene_custom_header_height');
?>I took that part of the code out of the style.css file and put it in functions.php file inside the child theme folder, but I still am not seeing anything on the WordPress Appearance > Themese
Any other possibility that I’m doing something wrong?
Thanks for answering my questions by the way. I realize how amateur they may be…I appreciate you taking the time.

When I tried to access the URL http://skidmorenewsnetwork.com/wp-content/themes/graphene-child/style.css the server gives me a 404 Not Found error. Are you sure you have placed the file in the correct folder?
yea, i’m pretty sure. i accidentally downloaded wordpress onto my computer twice and i put it in one but i deleted that file from my computer now
on my computer i go to my wordpress file so it’s like this:
WordPress > wp-content > themes > graphene-child
and in that folder i have the style.css and the functions.php
something i noticed though, is that the image of my style.css and functions.php are not like the icons of the style.css that i see in the graphene folder. maybe i’m not creating the right file on dreamweaver? do you think you can maybe guide me through that part?
