In reply to: [Customizr] Comment reply buttonOk acub
Thank you for all your help. I will write back if I have any issues with this. Its clear what i need to do.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Customizr] Comment reply buttonThere are no plugins I can see that would interfere with “main post” comments. My plugins are generally supporting widgets.
Any changes I made to the parent theme prior to creating the child theme would be “out of the box” changes (meaning using the customizr menu (no additional code was added).
I added the code above to my function.php on the childtheme as you describe. Now that being the reply button is not dead as it was before but it doesnt behreplied toave as I would expect. It jumps to the top of the post. I would expect it to create a new comment box below the comment t is being replied to. Any thoughts?

In reply to: [Customizr] Comment reply buttonTwo things about your reply. I am not an experienced web designer (just a beginner) and I am still not clear what to to do. Im not sure I can find the cause to fix.
On my post pages edit screen under “Discussion” I have Cooments and track backs ticked, however under commnents it states ” An unidentified error has occurred.”
Secondly, I am concerned about updating to customir 3.8 because I made some changes to the customizr theme before I made a child theme.
Thanks for your reply
I fewl stupid now, I probably could have googled that.
I have seen some great ideas from the link that will me meet my objectives. I will look through the Q&A here and if there are any gaps I will come back with my own questions (if needed)Thanks
Im always an idealist but yet again thanks to you I stand educated. So the answer is yes but I would be crazy to do it. I want to stay with the safety of the current capabilities of the customizer theme and not push any boundaries.
The original objective of the question was to look at options for a more minimal and intuative website to emulate the product its promoting.
There are areas of the pages I am under utilizing (rhs menu bar) and the 3 footer sections for example that I will have to learn quicky to use these to remove the clutter from the sidebars, even do away with the rh sidebar (thats what i am trying to achieve). This is made worse because I havent yet resolved the sidebar padding issue. I will also think of ways to utilze the slider better to meet these objectives. I need to get back to writing articles again with a finished design.
Is there anywhere I can see a showcase of websites created in customizr that will give me some ideas? thanks again for your help
I will close this as resolved.

In reply to: [Customizr] Side Bar color and Translucency optionsI am marking this as resolved as the original question is concluded about color of the sidebar. I added a new question to the thread that I will ask from another angle in a new question. Thanks for your support during my inductioin to customizr. I have learned so much

In reply to: [Customizr] I cannot find option to modify my post excerptshmmm! No error message this time but still no “read more” link under each extract.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Customizr] I cannot find option to modify my post excerptsA big thank you #1, 3 &4 are now fixed but the first part of the solution to #2 produced an error
Recap: #2 is put a “read more” link or button below each post extract on the home page.
I created the functions.php in my child theme as suggested and pasted the code in
function new_excerpt_more( $more ) { return ' Read More'; } add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more' );Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Customizr] I cannot find option to modify my post excerptsIgnore this:
#1 This what I pasted and it still does not work (I tried again). Do I need to change the parts of the string where it says customizr to mt child name to make it work?if ( $tag_list ) { $utility_text = __( 'This post was created in %1$s on %3$s<span class="by-author"> by %4$s</span>.' , 'customizr' ); } elseif ( $categories_list ) { $utility_text = __( 'This post was created in %1$s on %3$s<span class="by-author"> by %4$s</span>.' , 'customizr' ); } else { $utility_text = __( 'This post was created in %1$s on %3$s<span class="by-author"> by %4$s</span>.' , 'customizr' ); }Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Customizr] I cannot find option to modify my post excerpts#3 Worked and put “latest posts” above” my excerpts as I wanted, However it also put the same “latest posts” above the header of every open post even older posts. I need to remove this one.
#4 Your response is ambiguous to me “do what carefully”? I know how to add featured images to each post but i want to remove the dynamic “circle styles”
This ihas been a big learning for me today and thank you for all your help I feel much more comfortable making changings in customizr and my child theme.

I am working through these today. Its been a big learning curve but well worth the effort/ Thanks so far, here is an update#1 Worked on the post itself however it did not add the date/author string to under the excerpt title (this was my original request)
#2 Creating the functions.php file in root and pasting the code did not work for me. I cannot execute part 2 of #2 until I get this sorted
I will try the other instructions now

In reply to: [Customizr] I cannot find option to modify my post excerptsI think I was spoilt when using the WEAVER 11 theme as everything was Gui.
I need to read these instructions carefully and find the files you are refering. I been in my hosted file mannager but couldnt find them.

In reply to: [Customizr] Side Bar color and Translucency optionsI have read all the links above. My CSS skills are nil.
Before i start thinking of wider sider bars and letter spacing I have holistic issues with my post excerpts (I have identified these in another question here). I have spent some time today researching what my options are but Im not confident enough yet of making the changes I want or need. Its a learning curve and I may have bit off more than I can chew with CSS. I also tried some plugins with disasterous effects to resolve and have featured images showing where I dont have any in the post.
I love this theme but Im thinking of reverting to weaver 2. Hopefully I will get my other question resolved as that will give me more optionsForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Customizr] Side Bar color and Translucency optionsI added the code as suggested by rdellconsulting (ref: padding)but I dont think it resolved anything. I am delighted with the color of the sidebar though.
Chappie: If changing the width of text blocks is an option I am willing to give it a go with one provision. My titles are quite long and I wouldnt want any of them wrapping to a third line.
I am open to the idea of having one sidebar and making it wider if that solves the issue.
