Making my blog posts more noticeable in the sidebar

    Hello, Thanks in advance for any help I can receive. I’m working in the Parvati theme. I’ve hidden a blog on my business website. I want it to be more obvious that there are many articles.
    1) At the bottom of the page, there are two links that allow you to advance to the previous and next article, but I find it not very obvious. Are there any changes that I can make so that it says “PREVIOUS” and “NEXT”. And/or can I at least make the text bigger? I am hoping to add better images to these posts in time. Would there be a way for those images to show up as a part of the “Previous” and “Next” functions (assuming I can get those functions)

    2) On the right side, it says “March” and “April”. Is there a way to get some of the titles to appear in that side bar, too?

    3) I’d take any suggestions on ways to use the features of this theme to make my blog user have a better experience.

    Thank you!

    Hi redtexbu,

    thank You a lot for using Parvati!

    1, Unfortunatelly there are no default options to change the texts and add images to the paginator at the moment, but You can add some CSS to make it look better.
    Add the following CSS to make that text bigger to Your customizer’s additional CSS section:

    
.entry-meta .nav-previous, .entry-meta .nav-next {font-size: 30px;}
@media (max-width: 768px) {.entry-meta .nav-previous, .entry-meta .nav-next {font-size: 15px;}}

    Change the number of the font size as You want! The second line is for the mobile version.
    If You add the following code also, the previous and next links will be in one line:

    
.entry-meta .nav-previous, .entry-meta .nav-next {width: 50%; display: inline-block}
.entry-meta .nav-next { text-align: right;}

    If it is not enough, i think there are some plugins to make it look better.

    2, That sidebar is for widgets. In Your admin, if You go to Appearance-> Widgets menu, You can add or remove widgets to Your right sidebar. As i see, now You have an Archive widget there, but if You add a Recent posts widget, that will display the post titles with or without the post dates.

    3, I have some short tutorial how to use the WPKoi themes at the link:
    https://wpkoi.com/docs/help-to-start/
    However there are not much info about the blogging in it. Parvati use the default WordPress features, so You can learn a lot from basic WordPress tutorials and You can add some extra plugins to Your site to solve special needs.

    I hope it helps a little! Have a nice day!
