In reply to: Adsense ad size

#15606

Yes, the size of an Adsense ad is set in the script they provide you. You can choose from a variety of sizes to best fit the space you are trying to fill, but you will probably not get an exact match.

However, if you edited the original file without creating a child theme, then that alteration will disappear the next time the theme is updated.

You can turn off comments in Graphene Options >> General >> Comments. You can also change this on a post by post basis.

This is probably possible using a child theme, if your handy with that.

If not, have you checked the plugin directory at WordPress? There may be something there that will do what you want.

In reply to: Text more evident

This is the code in the CSS that styles this feature:

#previous,

#previous a,

#previous a:visited,

#next-post,

#next-post a,

#next-post a:visited {

color: #929292;

font: 12px tahoma;

text-decoration: none;

}

You can change it however you wish, and add to Custom CSS.

Note that Graphene has the same styling for visited and unvisited posts. You can change that if you wish.

Bigger picture size is better, but it means a larger file size. If you have readers who have slow connections, that might be an issue.

Yes, you should always include a URL in your posts. (You can add this to your profile and then we automatically know what it is.)

As far as for what is in your sidebar, you shouldn’t lose anything if you upgrade, but post the link first and we’ll take a look.

Problems when updating or changing things are part of the game, though. Take it step by step and it is easier to undo anything that causes problems. See the links in my signature.

In reply to: Menu item to the right

#15501

If you know the menu item number (use Firebug), you might be able to do this using custom CSS. Give it a try.

In reply to: Slider questions

So you just want to show the pictures, right?

Add this to your custom CSS:

.slider-entry-wrap {display:none}

The reason you see the darkened area is because you have “Slider display style” set to “background image and excerpt” in the slider options. But the custom CSS should take care of it.

Moved to “Support” — please read the rules.

You might find your answer here. If that doesn’t work or you have questions, let us know.

In reply to: Header Widget Area

#15533

The header is a widget, which you can style (including location) with CSS. Look at my bookblog. See the “donate” section in the upper left? That’s a header widget, with location set by custom CSS.

However, if you want to make it part of the flow (say between the nav and the posts), then find this div in header.php:

<div id="nav">

Just after that closing tag, you would include another div (making sure to give it a unique ID), move the code you mentioned into that div, and style the div using CSS.

I’m not a PHP expert, but I believe that is the correct solution. It may take some trial and error to get it right, but that’s the fun part.

(BTW, don’t forget to enclose code in backticks.)

Have fun,

Ken
