    Okay, I did one more search and figured it out. If anyone is interested, I just added this code to my child theme’s style.css file:

    body {
      background:
        url(imagename.jpg) repeat;
    }

    Just to clarify, I’m wanting to change the font size.

    That did it! I knew it was going to be something simple. I could have sworn I had cross checked it with the original file, but that part I somehow missed.

    I honestly can’t say this enough, but thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

    Hi bdbrown,
    Thanks for the links, lots of good information. Right now, I’m still stuck changing the default image sizes. I copied the code below into my child theme’s functions.php file and changed the image sizes to what I want them to be.

    function alx_setup() {
    	// Enable title tag
    	add_theme_support( 'title-tag' );
    
    	// Enable automatic feed links
    	add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );
    
    	// Enable featured image
    	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
    
    	// Enable post format support
    	add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'audio', 'aside', 'chat', 'gallery', 'image', 'link', 'quote', 'status', 'video' ) );
    
    	// Declare WooCommerce support
    	add_theme_support( 'woocommerce' );
    
    	// Thumbnail sizes
    	add_image_size( 'thumb-small', 160, 160, true );
    	add_image_size( 'thumb-standard', 320, 320, true );
    	add_image_size( 'thumb-medium', 520, 245, true );
    	add_image_size( 'thumb-large', 720, 340, true );
    
    	// Custom menu areas
    	register_nav_menus( array(
    		'topbar' => 'Topbar',
    		'header' => 'Header',
    		'footer' => 'Footer',
    	) );
        }

    I then regenerated all the thumbnails on the site, but after the plugin ran, I checked and all images are still their original sizes. I’m really confused why changing the above code in my functions.php file isn’t changing it on my site.

    Is there something else I need to do or some other piece of code that needs to be adjusted? I’m guessing it’s something simple that I’m overlooking, but right now I’m really stumped.

    Forgot to mark this as resolved. I added the code and, no surprise, it worked! I can’t say it enough, but thank you again!

    Wow, that is exactly what I was wanting! You never fail to amaze me. Thank you so much, you’ve really helped me out a lot!

    No problem, I was just curious how to change specific text. I figured out how to change the post text and excerpt, but the Category, Post Date, Comment Count and “By” (next to Author’s name) are still dark gray. Any idea what the code for changing those might be? I’m looking in the main.css file for the corresponding code to add to my child theme’s style.css, but I’m having a difficult time.

    I hadn’t even noticed that the default font color was gray before. I do like it much better with black, but when I added the above code from bdbrown into my style.css file in the child theme, every piece of text turned black.

    What would be the best way to change just the body text of posts and excerpts to black and leave everything else the default color?

    Currently, the menu text is set to white and link colors are orange, but when I added the above code, both those turned black, making them hard to read.

    Edit: Okay, so I added this code and my post content and excerpts are now black and everything else is the same.

    .entry { color: black; }
    .entry.excerpt { color: black; }

    I was using Twenty Fourteen before and if a Featured Image was set, it would show up on a Standard post (I never used any other post format, Standard was default). I didn’t think about that when switching to Hueman. I guess I’ll have to go back and change my old posts to Image so my Featured Images show up.

    Awesome, you’re the man! This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!

    One quick question, is there a way to have the Author’s name link to their posts (the same way it does on a Post page)?

    Thank you, that worked. I never had to set a post to “Image” in the past to display the featured image(I’ve been using WordPress.com). Good thing to know going forward.

    I’ll start a new topic for my other question.

    Perfect! That’ll work just fine. Thanks once again!

    Okay, I tried both and they work. The carousel one is interesting, but I think I may just stick with the slideshow. I really like it better with the controls overlaid on the image as well. One oddity I noticed with it, and this was happening before moving the controls, is that it changes sizes or expands depending on the length of the excerpt. I believe I figured out how to stop this. I changed “smoothHeight” from true to false and now the height of the slider doesn’t automatically adjust if the image size or excerpt is different from the previous post.

    Once again, thank you for helping me out. So far, so good! Not only am I getting my site to look the way I want, but I’m starting to pick up on this coding thing. 😀

    Hi bdbrown,
    By carousel, I mean something like this: http://flexslider.woothemes.com/basic-carousel.html

    The way the slider is set up now, I consider that more of a “slideshow” style. Three or more images in a row is what I would consider a “carousel”.

    I really like your suggested change in style.css. That actually helps a lot! I’m curious, do you know how I might move the controls below the slider, or even overlay them on the slider near the bottom, rather than being placed above it?

    Again, thank you so much for all your help so far. This project was starting to give me a headache, but with your assistance, it’s starting to all come together! I really appreciate it!
