Josh,
Good to hear from you. I copy/pasted that into the child style.css file, appending it to the end of the code that was in there. It didn’t remove it from the pages.
But just like your help with the slider didn’t solve my issue, but rather prompted my foggy brain to merge your thoughts with what’s there, this did it. I simply added the following to the child style.css.
.page .post-title{
display: none;
}
So, Josh, you once again helped me out. Thanx.
While on this thread, is there a way to not show the “previous post / next post” line on the top of each post page?
Thanx again for the quick reply; you’re awesome!
I checked the white space and there was a blank line between the two php functions in the child theme’s function.php I deleted that and we’ll see if it works (didn’t get an error yet).
With the blue border being removed (image it does look better without the border, BTW), the slider box has been pushed up. In other words, it appears the padding (what was blue and becomes clear) has stayed on right, bottom, and left – but not on top. And it doesn’t look centered (hard to tell because the excerpt is chopped – may be an optical illusion on the left-right centering in the left column).
As for the CSS, I looked for code within the Graphene Style Sheet and couldn’t find anything related to the excerpt on the slider. Would you happen to have something I could cut/paste into the Graphene Child Style Sheet?
Thanx. KATrimels
Thanx for the quick reply, Syahir. I put that into the local test site and got the following error message.
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /hermes/bosweb26c/b2759/ipw.idtenterprises/ContEngr/WordPress/wp-content/themes/graphene-child/functions.php:8) in /hermes/bosweb26c/b2759/ipw.idtenterprises/ContEngr/WordPress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 934
The image showed (too large) in the box and was chopped on the bottom by the border. And adjusting the thumbnail size even down to 50 x 50 did nothing on the page.
I also tried the background image and excerpt. That worked OK except 1) the blue border around the slider box disappeared (white dot in lower right is still there), and changed the slider alignment on the page, and 2) the “view full post” button is chopped off as is the excerpt text on the right (custom URL, background image & excerpt).
We adjusted the width on the main column in the child template and I think the slider width is adjusted to 580 px. Not sure if that is causing the issue. But would like to not have to adjust this again.
Any suggestions?
Thanx. KATrimels
Syahir,
It’s good to talk with you again; hope you’ve liked what you’ve seen with what we’re doing.
We’re trying to add images to the slider; it currently only has the most recent post excerpt. We’d like to cycle a few images that relate to the site theme, not necessarily included in a specific post. And then include the excerpt from the most recent post
I tried entering the above code in the child theme’s function.php you created and got error messages as I saved. The save still went through but when I reloaded the front page, I got the error message below:
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘custom-slider-thumb’ was given in /hermes/bosweb26c/b2759/ipw.idtenterprises/ContEngr/WordPress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 170
After searching through the forums, I’m at a loss for 1) how to do what we want, and 2) why this error message is coming up.
Any help you can offer would, as always, be much appreciated.
Thanx.
KATrimels
