In reply to: [Pratt] Logo in HeaderThanks for the kind words, cleartag. To use a logo instead of the site title, its probably easiest to modify header.php. You would want the logo to go within the “navbar-brand” section.
For the menu question, are you saying you don’t want it to stick to the top of the page? Pratt is almost identical to Flat Bootstrap except that Pratt has the fixed header. You may just want to use the parent theme instead. If not, let me know and I’ll try to help you remove the “stickiness” of the nav bar.

In reply to: [Link] Changing ColorsTo remove the “flicker” of green on the home page, change the background color here in style.css to whatever color you want. For example, looking at your site you probably want to set it to blue.
/* Style cover, section, and content-header images and backgrounds */ .cover-image, .section-image { background-position: center center; background-color: #1abc9c; }Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Flat Bootstrap] Translation supportI sent you my email adress.

In reply to: [Flat Bootstrap] Translation support8tintin, I used a plugin to generate a .pot file that you then copy over, edit, and rename as a .po file. I can tell you that the strings look a little messy, meaning that there are some special characters in them.
I’ve also made some fixes to the next release candidate of the theme where there were incorrect text domains specified in my code. That means this file is missing a few text strings.
Please email me and I’ll send you the .pot file that you need. I have more work to do on the next version of the theme before I can release it.

In reply to: [Flat Bootstrap] Translation supportHi, 8tintin. I have built the theme with full support for translations. Meaning I have used official WordPress functions around all hard-coded text. However, I think there is something I need to do in WordPress to generate a .pot file which I think is what you’d need to copy over to translate it. I’ll look into how to do that.

In reply to: [Link] Customise bottom of pageHi, tekk3y. The php code is just for a sample widget to display when previewing the theme in the theme directory. You can add your own text widget to the Page Bottom widget area and put whatever you want in it.
I’d probably do a “View Source” in your browser and copy the sample widget HTML and paste that into a new text widget.

In reply to: [Link] Add link or shortcode in Call to Action ButtonHi, IAMTHAT. THanks for the kind words about my themes. The code you are looking at is really just a sample to show what the theme can do when you are previewing it in the theme directory. As soon as you add your own widget to the Page Bottom widget area, the sample won’t be displayed.
So its probably a lot easier for you to just add a text widget with the text you want, button code, and whatever shortcodes you want to use in it. You can color the text box if you use the “Simple CSS for Widgets” plugin. Just put bg-almostblack or bg-blue or whatever color you want on the text widget.

In reply to: [Link] Editing color of Search and Pagination buttonsHi, Mike. Cool site! My son has been playing travel hockey for years. I like what you’ve done with the color changes. The CSS for the search button and the page navigation are in the file /css/theme-flat.css. The class for pagination is “pagination”. The search button is styled along with all “input” types. Search for input[type=”submit”].

In reply to: [Link] sample widgets before footerHi claredotcom. Thanks for the kind words. I wish there was a way to include widgets in the samples.xml WordPress import file, but WordPress doesn’t support that. So what you would have to do is remove your widgets so that the sample show. Then in your browser, “show page source” and you can copy the HTML into a text widget.
If you have trouble doing this, let me know and I’ll see if I can pull together the exact HTML you need to replicate the samples.

In reply to: [Pratt] SidebarHi exdesign. A right sidebar is the default for the theme. In fact, the sidebar even defaults to list your pages and blog categories if you haven’t added any widgets. Just be sure you aren’t using a full-width page template as of course no sidebar will display.
If you want to move the sidebar to the left, go into each individual page and use the “Sidebar Left” page template.

In reply to: [Pratt] Widget buttons disapearedHi, ycon. I’m going to close this out as resolved since the widget problem you are having is caused by something else not the theme. If you’d like to open it back up, let me know.

In reply to: [Link] Menu on the right up cornerHi, Belenxi. The “off canvas” or “toggle” menu in the Link theme defaults to showing the first few pages in your site based on the “menu order” of that page. To set the menu to whatever you want, you can create a menu as normal in WordPress and assign it as the “header” menu.
However, the way that menu is designed with it being “off canvas” it doesn’t really handle multi-level menus. So the theme is set to only display the top level. If I can think through some kind of solution for this, I’ll update the theme.
In the meantime, if you wanted a more “traditional” menu (horizontal nav bar), my other themes Flat Bootstrap, Spot, and Pratt all support multi-level menus in the header.

In reply to: [Pratt] Widget buttons disapearedThanks for the kind words. As you say, you should be able to just add any widget to the Page Bottom and/or Footer widget areas and the sample ones will disappear.
If there are no widgets to choose from in WordPress itself, that has to be some other issue. You might try previewing or switching to another theme to determine that is the case. Then start disabling plugins until you find the one that is causing problems.
If you create a child theme, you could also copy and edit the sidebar-pagebottom.php and/or sidebar-footer.php files to remove the samples… but that won’t fix any issues with widgets on your site.

In reply to: [Pratt] Turn off COMMENTSThanks for the kind words! I really appreciate getting feedback like this. Its what motivates me to put in all this time on free themes.
I totally understand about not wanting comments on the home page. Turning them off is a standard WordPress feature. Go to the page you set as your home page and you should see a box title Discussion that let’s you uncheck “Allow Comments” and you should also uncheck “Allow Trackbacks and Pingbacks”.
