Hey there,

It’s very strange you’re seeing that. It’s possible the switch in themes may be causing that.

What is the URL of the site you’re working on exactly?

Hello there,

Awesome! 🙂

I didn’t explain this clearly. I would like the tag collection pages to display the tag at the top. Like on this page it would say “Writing.”
http://mikkihalpin.com/project-tag/writing/
It would be nice if that happened automatically but I could make them as header images that appear below the site header….

That header text is already there, but it wasn’t visible because it was a dark text.

This CSS would make it mirror the menu text.

.tax-jetpack-portfolio-tag .page-title {
    color: #ffffff;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    font-family: montserrat;
    font-weight: 800;
    padding: 0px 0;
    font-size: 50px;
}

With regards to the YouTube video, what HTML have you added exactly? Have you acquired this from the web somewhere?

Many thanks in advance. 🙂

You’re most welcome!

That made the menu links white and in the right font—they are blue on mouseover, tho, and now there is blue around the upper right hand corner?

Hm, I’m not seeing that, you may want to clear the browser cache. I’m seeing a green mouseover and there’s no change in the top right hand corner.

New question–is there a way to put a header on tag pages? Like this page that is all the portfolio projects tagged “games” http://mikkihalpin.com/project-tag/games/

This CSS would do that:

/* Add header to tag pages */

.tax-jetpack-portfolio-tag .page-header {
    max-width: 100%;
    background: url('https://mikkihalpin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/s-l600.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    padding: 100px;
  }

  .page-title {
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: 700;
    line-height: 1.5;
    color: #ffffff;
  }

I’ve used a random Beatles image in there for now, you can change https://mikkihalpin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/s-l600.jpg – to a link to an image that’s more with what you require.

Serious question is there a way I can write to your boss or something and tell them how helpful you are? I am in awe

Ah thank you for the kind words. 🙂

Hello there,

It looks like we’re getting there 🙂

UPDATE: I got the hamburger menu back to black!
it was this (I had changed it to white)

Hooray!

1. If we could at least get rid of the blue square?

This CSS would help with the blue square in the menu:

.sidebar-toggle:hover, .sidebar-toggle:focus, .sidebar-toggle:active {
    background-color: #000;
}

2. Is it possible to remove the word “Menu”?

This CSS would remove that.

.menu-heading {
    display: none;
}

Getting it to look like this isn’t impossible. What font is being used for the menu items there? And is this font uploaded to the site itself?

Hello again!

1. Link colors

Ah I think that’s something specific to WordPress.com.

It looks like this has come up before and there’s CSS here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-all-link-colors/ which can help with changing those. 🙂

2. Hamburger menu

Black is the default colour. Can you remember what you changed here? I don’t CSS in the post.

4. So another thing about the header. On the Espied page they show a site with a big header image–I’m talking about the white block that says “Hello! We’re Espied. This is our new portfolio.”

I see what you mean! On the demo seen here: https://espieddemo.wordpress.com/ you can see the homepage uses the Portfolio template. This can be changed via Pages > click on the page allocated to the homepage > Page Attributes > change to Portfolio Page.

The page title is:

HELLO! WE'RE ESPIED. THIS IS OUR NEW PORTFOLIO.

The content is:

This is a page which uses the "Portfolio Page Template." The content on the page goes here and the heading above is the page title. This page also displays projects as you can see below. You can add projects from Portfolio → Add New in the admin.
For the thumbnail, you can choose one of three aspect ratios, landscape (4:3), portrait (3:4), and square (1:1) in the Customizer.

I hope this helps.

Hello there,

Happy to help you with this.

It may be possible with some CSS… Are you able to provide a link to your site please?

Hello there,

Ok, do you know if your host is using a CDN?

Also, are you able to provide a link to the conditions of where you’re seeing as per: https://www.whatismybrowser.com/ please.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello again,

Many thanks for providing a screenshot that explains this perfectly.

I can’t replicate this on an Android phone, using Chrome.

Can you tell me what browser you’re using there on the mobile?

I’m already suspecting Safari, as it looks like the image isn’t being loaded at all – which I’ve seen happen if the image is being served via a CDN.

It relates to how Safari privacy handles third party links/cookies on sites, if the hosting provider is doing this in some kind of capacity.
