In reply to: [Simone] entry-content@coletteg: I answered your question on my blog yesterday. I’ve also provided the same answer in your forum post for easy reference. I answer these questions in batches so sometimes it takes a little while.

In reply to: [Simone] no more margin for the text after updatedYour child theme style.css file is a complete copy of the parent theme style.css file. That means you are sticking the old styles from the previous version on top of the new styles.
When you create a child theme style.css file you don’t need to copy all the styles from the parent over. Instead you add only the styles you want to change. Child theme stylesheets come in addition to the parent theme stylesheet rather than as a replacement. That’s what makes them so powerful.
What’s happening in your site is this: First the parent theme style.css is called. Then the layout styles (in your case /layouts/content-sidebar.css) are called. Then the child theme style.css file is called, and because that file is a copy of the original style.css, all the styles here override both the parent theme style.css and content-sidebar.css.
The easiest way to fix this is to clear out your child theme stylesheet and add back in only the elements you want to change from the original theme.

In reply to: [Simone] entry-contentThe new version of the theme uses a new and simpler way of loading up child themes. You don’t need to add the @import call at the top of your child theme style.css file any more. Just add the comment at the top and your changes. The parent theme stylesheets are automatically called in.
See here for more info: http://mor10.com/simone-2-0-custom-backgrounds-sidebar-position-rtl-support/
What’s happening right now is you’re importing the parent theme style.css file which ends up running twice and overriding the layout styles. Take out the @import call on line 12 and everything will work as expected.

In reply to: [Simone] Contact FormThis sounds like a plugin issue. Contact forms from various plugins work properly in this theme. If you’re having issues with creating the contact form in the WordPress editor you need to check the documentation and possibly post a support request for the plugin itself. The theme only concerns itself with displaying the content on the front-end of the site.
Hope that helps!

In reply to: [Simone] center site content while maintaining responsivenessLet me give you an answer that isn’t exactly what you want but will get you where you want to go:
All this is possible, but it requires substantial retooling of the CSS. I anticipated that people might want to change the alignments of content in the theme and therefore pulled all layout styles into separate stylesheets under the /layouts/ folder. To create new layouts (which is what you want to do) you can simply dequeue the parent theme layout styles and provide your own. I did some rough experimentation on a dev build and was able to lock the sidebar as you describe with some carefully placed changes in the layout styles.
As for the menu, the easiest thing you can do is set a max-width for the .main-navigation class and set margin: 0 auto; This will place the entire menu area in the center. To prevent it from looking weird you’ll also have to mess around with the header background colour, but that’s trivial.
If you come up with a smart solution feel free to send a pull request to the Github repo and I might ship it as a theme option in a future version: https://github.com/mor10/simone

In reply to: [Simone] White Space between content and footerThe new version of the theme has a custom background colour option through the Customizer. This should resolve your issue on index pages.

In reply to: [Simone] Optimizing ImagesThe author image size in the author box is set in inc/author-box.php on line 96. You can override the setting in a child theme.

In reply to: [Simone] Logo in the Navigation BarOff the top of my head the easiest way to do that would be to create a font icon for the logo and add it as a regular menu item with a class.
This is way outside the expected or intended behaviour of the theme so not really a “support” issue but more of a feature request. You can file it as a feature request on Github if you like and I might add it as a feature in a future version of the theme:

In reply to: [Simone] Front Page Scrolling NAVI’ve added this as a bug on Github (https://github.com/mor10/simone/issues/40)

In reply to: [Simone] Centering issue on one-page designI’m filing this as a possible issue in Github (https://github.com/mor10/simone/issues/39). Can you clarify: Is this the stock theme or when you create a one-page design following the lynda.com course?

In reply to: [Simone] Header HeightThis would have to be changed in a child theme. The height of the image is set in the core theme settings on line 19 in inc/custom-header.php. You can see the setting here:
