Hi

You can do this by working a little with codes in the theme’s functions.php file and adding some style in the style.css

Add the below codes in the respective files and it will work for you. But I will suggest you to make the changes in a child theme, so as to preserve these changes even after updates.

In the functions.php file add the below code.

function add_search_box_to_menu( $items, $args ) {
	if ( $args->theme_location == 'main' )
		return $items . get_search_form();

	return $items;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_search_box_to_menu', 10, 2 );

The above adds search form to the main menu. I assume you have a menu selected in Appearance >> menus >> manage location

Now add the below styles to the child theme’s style.css

#main-navigation .search-form {
    display: inline-flex;
    position: absolute;
    right: 40%;
}
#main-navigation .search-field {
	margin: 8px 0 20px;
}
#main-navigation .search-submit {
	margin: 0 0 20px 10px;
}

The above style worked for me, please adjust the position of the search form as per you menu items.

Hope it helps!
Thanks

Hi

To make all the featured images centre. Please add the following css in your theme’s style.css file.

I will suggest you to do the changes using child theme or by using the my custom css plugin, so that the changes made remain preserved even after upgrades.

.entry-thumbnail img {
    margin: auto;
}

Hope it helps!
Thanks

Hi reepjyoti,

First of all I will suggest you to always create a new thread for new issues in the forum, it helps us to keep the problem and solutions exclusive and helps users with related issues.

Now to answer your question. The theme has hooked into a filter to change the excerpt length, which is now 40 words (default is 55), which means the number of words to appear before the “continue reading” link appears.

If you insert the read more link anywhere less than 40 words in the WYSIWYG editor, then that would reflect in the front end.

To increase the excerpt length, you can use the following codes in your child theme‘s functions.php file.

remove_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'athemes_excerpt_length' );
function se_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 100;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'se_excerpt_length' );

The example above will increase the excerpt length to 100, you can adjust it as per your need.

Hope it helps!
Thanks

You are welcome 🙂

Hi

First of all I would advice you not to switch off the mobile menus, cause the desktop menus have issues with touch in the smaller screen devices and hence mobile menus are wildly used.

But if you still want to do this, then please comment/remove the following css from theme’s style.css file. I would suggest you to go with child theme for this change

The css codes starts from line number 486

@media only screen and (max-width: 60em) {
	.nav-open {
		display: inline-block;
		}
	#main-navigation:target > .nav-open {
		display: none;
		}
	#main-navigation:target > .nav-close {
		display: inline-block;
		}
	#main-navigation > .sf-menu {
		position: relative;
		text-align: left;
		}
	#main-navigation > .sf-menu > ul {
		position: absolute;
		top: 0;
		left: 0;
		width: 100%;
		max-height: 0;
		max-width: 16em;
		overflow: hidden;
		background: #333;
		}
	#main-navigation:target > .sf-menu > ul {
		max-height: 400px;
		}
	#main-navigation > .sf-menu > ul > li {
		float: none;
		display: block;
		border-bottom: 1px dotted #565656;
		}
	#main-navigation > .sf-menu > ul > li:after {
		display: none;
		}
	#main-navigation li a {
		float: none;
		display: block;
		color: #fff;
		}
	}

Hope it helps!

Thanks

Hi

I checked the site and dont see the custom css file from the plugin loaded, it seems you have not used the plugin correctly. Please check how to use that plugin or else add the css code in the stylesheet you have added your css changes to.

I see you have made many css customisation, so just add this css code and it will work.

Thanks
