 * I’ve made a change to Writr that should fix the issue. This change is on the 
   WordPress.com version of the theme. Until the changes are reflected in the WordPress.
   org version, can you apply the following fix to your theme, and then check it
   on your phone to see if the menu displays properly? Thanks!
 * Add this code to style.css:
 *     ```
       /* Adjustments for the menu display on smaller devices like the iPhone 4 */
       @media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
           .main-navigation,
           .main-navigation ul ul {
       		width: 324px;
       	}
       }
       ```

 * Hi Lauren,
 * The best way to change the content width would be to first create a child theme
   for Coraline (that way, your changes won’t affect the Coraline theme itself).
   Then, in the child theme’s “style.css” file, you can adjust the content width
   with CSS.
 * You’ll also want to create a “functions.php” for your child theme and adjust 
   the $content_width variable to reflect the new width, so that any new attachments
   you upload in the future will be sized properly.
 * For example, the default content width is 500px (as you can see at the top of
   Coraline’s functions.php).
 * There’s technically no maximum width, it depends on your preferences. For best
   readability, however, you may not want to make your content too wide.
 * I hope this helps, let us know if you have further questions.

 * Unfortunately I can’t view your “Edit” link to see how it appears on your site.
   Could you try putting a top margin on your edit link to move it down out of the
   header?

 * Hi there,
 * Superhero does display the author, but only if there are multiple authors with
   published posts. You can undo this by removing this line from style.css:
 *     ```
       .byline {
           display: none;
       }
       ```

 * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorporating-co-authors-plus-plugin-into-able-theme/#post-4321946)
 * Hi Mandy,
 * Based on the link you provided, here is my guess for how you could implement 
   this in the Able theme. First, in inc/template-tags.php, find the following function:
 *     ```
       function able_posted_on() {
       	printf( __( 'Posted on <a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a><span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%5$s" title="%6$s" rel="author">%7$s</a></span></span>', 'able' ),
       		esc_url( get_permalink() ),
       		esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
       		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
       		esc_html( get_the_date() ),
       		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
       		esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'able' ), get_the_author() ) ),
       		esc_html( get_the_author() )
       	);
       }
       endif;
       ```
   
 * In the code above, replace “get_the_author()” (third to last line above) with“
   coauthors_posts_links( null, null, null, null, false )”. So the new code would
   be:
 *     ```
       function able_posted_on() {
       	printf( __( 'Posted on <a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a><span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%5$s" title="%6$s" rel="author">%7$s</a></span></span>', 'able' ),
       		esc_url( get_permalink() ),
       		esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
       		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
       		esc_html( get_the_date() ),
       		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
       		esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'able' ), get_the_author() ) ),
       		coauthors_posts_links( null, null, null, null, false )
       	);
       }
       endif;
       ```
   
 * Can you try that and see if it works? I have not tested this since I don’t have
   the plugin installed.

 * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-from-left-to-right/#post-4321945)
 * Hi there, we are glad you like the theme!
 * As for moving the sidebar to the right, I suggest having a look at the rtl.css
   file to get an idea of how it’s positioned (since the sidebar has been moved 
   the right for RTL languages). You could copy the relevant styles from rtl.css
   into a child theme and tweak it further to suit your purposes.
 * I hope this helps!

 * I can ask the developer of the Writr theme what his specific reasons were for
   using this, but generally, pseudo elements are useful because they give us an
   additional “canvas” space to work on without the need for extra mark-up.

   or the grey box around the widget titles?

 * You can assign the full-width page template to the Contact page to remove the
   sidebar.
 * I’m not sure what you mean by centering the page. Do you want the contact form
   to appear in the center of the page?

 * The easiest thing to do would be to: 1) upload them to your Media Library; 2)
   Get the URL of each uploaded icon from the Media Library; 3) Create a text widget
   in your sidebar and the add necessary HTML code with links to the icons you uploaded
   in step 1. Something like:
 * `<a href="http://socialnetworkurl.com" title="Social Network Name"><img src="
   http://URL-OF-UPLOADED-ICON" alt="Social Network Name" /></a>`

 * Hi Heather,
 * Could you try:
 *     ```
       #content div.sharedaddy div.sd-block {
         border-top: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Also, make sure there are no other styles below this one that could be overriding
   it. Try putting it at the very bottom of your CSS file.

 * Yes, you can do this with a child theme.
 * In a nutshell, what you’d need to do is:
 * 1. Loop through all posts and grab the latest one. Display the full content for
   this post (so you’d use “the_content()” in your loop).
    2. Create a separate 
   loop that skips over the latest post and grabs all remaining posts. For these,
   you would display excerpts using “the_excerpt()” in your loop).

 * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-forever-custom-header/#post-4311433)
 * You could definitely do either of the above. Of the two, I would probably go 
   with a child theme plus custom css. That way, if you wanted to make other template
   changes later on, you’d be able to do so with your child theme. 🙂
