In reply to: [evolve] Problems with captions and text wrapOkay, I’ll give those text-size changes a try. What about the text wrapping issues? Or are those issues still trying to be solved? I’d seen someone else with a similar issues with this theme, so I’m guessing this is an on-going issue?
Thanks!

In reply to: [evolve] Problems with captions and text wrapHello, I created a private page on my site just to demonstrate the issues, especially the text-wrapping issues. The captions are self-evident in terms of caption font-size vs body-text font-size.
Please head here http://ispyradio.com/graphic-design-issues/ and when it asks, use “help” (all lowercase, no quotes) as the password. I’ve put screenshots within the text to further explain/demonstrate the issues.

In reply to: [evolve] Images with captions on page not wrappingI have this same problem. The text works fine unless you introduce any sort of heading element. I guess the bullet points you’re having issue with are essentially a heading in a way.
I see this is from 3 months ago. Doesn’t look like this has been resolved yet. Too bad. I’ve liked this theme but when you’re trying to do some SEO and add some headings to help with that, you end up with a post that looks like amateur hour because of the massive gaps.

In reply to: [Edin] Modification of Edin theme – front pageOkay, so it looks like I’m one of many having issues getting the actual templates to look like the actual demo.
My problem is that I walked through the steps on https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/edin/ under “Front Page Template” and while I successfully got the header to work, the nice neat columns on the demo (https://edindemo.wordpress.com/) are no where to be seen.
What I mean is, there are six pages/sections linked on the demo: Grid page (with nice sky scraper pic; Full width page (another skyscraper pic), Alternate sidebar page (headphone jacks pic), Customer page templates (no pic), Social media interaction (no pic), and recent news (no pic). Below all this is a nice, professional looking footer with Our Location, About Us, and a navigation panel. There is nothing in the above “tutorial” and there is nothing at all about how to do any of that — just how to set the header pic.
Does that mean the front page does not actually use the front page template? Or am I missing some steps along the way?
This is exceptionally frustrating to say the least. I think there’s a lot of “unspoken” steps here that the demos take completely for granted. I think they assume you’ve a., do this as a part of your normal day-to-day business, b., assume you are intimately familiar with all the ins and outs of WordPress. It seems if you have elements on a page, the designers should have the common sense to explain how it got there.
As an aside, honestly, from a process standpoint, I’m confused why this is ever an issue. Templates should come exactly as is with the art work in place, etc., so people can just add their own pics, swap with what’s there, redo the text, and so on. Instead, for me and apparently plenty of others (I completely echo the frustration of the OP on this support page, also about Edin), this has been an arduous problem. In my case, I’ve been at this 7 hours now trying to get just the first page up and looking at all similar to what the demo lured me in with. And so far no luck.
