• Hi Ben,

    I was wondering if it is possible to extend the width of the comments section? Something akin to the widening of the post in the Code Snippets page.

    Thanks!

    Hey Kelly,

    Sure, you can use this CSS to widen the comments section:

    .comments {
      padding: 0 5%;
    }

    the “5%” value can be increased to make the comment section narrower, or decreased to make it even wider.

    ah! I spoke too soon Ben! Sorry!

    I wanted to change the width of the actual comments. I like that the area has been widened but I’m more concerned about the actual comment container.

    Oh I see, sorry about. Try the following CSS instead:

    @media all and (min-width: 62.5em) {
    
      .comment-content {
        width: 65%
      }
    }

    This is going to increase the width of the comment – the content itself.

    that worked perfectly!

    Is there a way to put social media buttons below the titles in each post?

    What I mean is each post has a title and under that title is a dash and then the text of the post follows. Is there a way to get some social media buttons below that dash centered?

    Try the Simple Share Buttons Adder plugin. I’m not sure if there’s a built-in way to center them, but it can display social icons above and/or below Posts.

    that worked!

    Ben,

    Do you have a list of WP plugins that are “must haves”?

    Ben,

    I was wondering, how would I get the text in my posts to wrap around any images I wanted to add. Do I need a plug-in for that?

    When I try to do it now the images do not wrap and the text is either above or below the image.

    Theme Author Ben Sibley

    If you left- or right-align the image, the text should naturally wrap around it. In the post editor, when you click on an image in the post it should present you with a small toolbar: http://pics.competethemes.com/image/0G0b2b3Q1g1h

    Using either the left- or right-align buttons in the toolbar should position the image, so the text will wrap around it on the site (the text may not wrap while in the editor).
