    Hi Alexander

    I’m loving this theme. I purchased Typegrid in the past and this has exceeded that theme by a mile!

    Just a couple of customisation questions. How can I….

    1. Have the featured posts cycle automatically?
    2. Remove the author symbol on the author image?
    3. Customise the words “Follow” and “More”?
    4. Make the menu fixed when using the boxed layout?

    I appreciate any help you can give.

    Hi! Glad to hear.

    1) In /inc/featured.php change slideshow: false to true with a child theme.
    2) Add this custom css:

    .author-bio .bio-avatar:after { display: none; }

    3) Either edit sidebar.php and sidebar-2.php with a child theme, or use the /languages/en_US.po file to translate the strings. Here is how.
    4) Not easily done with the way it’s currently coded I think.

    Thanks for the help!

    Just got another question. When I set the home page as full width for some reason the slider image is scaled even though I have created a featured image with correct dimensions required.

    Please see this screenshot.

    When you say scaled, do you mean that it upscales to fit the content area’s width? If so, that is what it’s supposed to do.

    If you mean that it is cropped, it shouldn’t crop at all if you upload an image of the exact dimension of the thumbnail – 720x340px.

    The featured image used is 1020px x 482px so confused why it is using the 720x340px thumbnail and up-scaling it?

    This is because your website width increases when sidebars are removed, and the content will always scale up to fit the container box (responsive).

    The slider image is 1020px x 482px so I created an image with those dimensions to use as the featured image for the post. Why is it then up-scaling when I have uploaded an image with the correct dimensions?

    I’ve figured it out. I’ve adjusted the thumb large size and re-generated the thumbnails.

    Hi Alex, how can I remove the pingbacks tab on the comments section?
