Thanks for using Tracks!
Those are some great ideas. I’m going to add numbers 1 and 4 into the next update 🙂
For #2, I think this customization is a bit specific, so I will hold off on adding it unless there are further requests for it. However, I can help you implement a custom solution for this if you’d like.
For #3, the reason the text width is limited is to keep about ~85 characters per line for maximum readability. Do you have a specific use case for a full-width post layout? I’m open to feedback and the idea of custom post template 🙂

Hi,
great, I’m looking forward to the new version!
Regarding #2, can we have at least an option to hide that block – just as for widgets block? In this case people like me who want to display this information in another place could do it much easier.
Regarding #3 – I realized that this idea is not so good. Even with “full width photos” text looks better to be around ~85 characters.
Regarding full width photos, here’s what I was able to achieve:
https://blog.ashald.net/archives/9 – see photos at the end of the blog. With a a bit of CSS I was able to make it responsive so on smaller screens this blocks with photos are being resized to fit within screen. The only problem I have it is with a text block placed next to the photo – on small screens text becomes unreadable due to overflow. I guess there is an elegant solution for this issue, but I’m more backend guy rather the frontend one so still looking for a solution.
I can share with you my custom CSS if it can help you in any way. though as you create such a good theme I doubt you need it. 🙂
Very excited about #4! Interested in implementing this myself.

I think I misunderstood your original question. You would like an option to hide the categories/tags that show on the left side of the post page?
If you resize your browser to a smaller size, you’ll see that the categories and tags drop below the post content. I could add an option to keep them there at larger widths, or to hide them altogether.
Nice job with the CSS, I already have plans for how to implement it 🙂
@melissamaples Great, I’m excited to build it now 🙂
Hey guys,
version 1.31 of Tracks was just released and has features 1 & 4 from this thread in it.
You can find the option to hide the prev/next post links in the “Additional Options” section in the Customizer, and I’ve added directions for making an image in a post full-width here.
YAY, thank you so much! I’m going to play around with that today. 🙂
Hmmm, where does this full-width class live, exactly? I pretty much want all my photos to be full-width, so I was thinking about getting clever and just pasting the attributes of the class into the standard img style in my child theme’s style.css, but I can’t seem to locate the full-width class in the parent css file. Which means either (a) it lives somewhere else, like in another stylesheet or (b) I’m just thick and couldn’t find it. 😀
Basically I don’t want to have to edit the class every time, I just want them all to be like that by default. It looks great.
Ack, never mind – I thought the theme had updated to the newest version, but it hadn’t. I see it now in the new stylesheet. Working on transporting now.
omg dude. DUDE. It’s gorgeous.

hahahaha wow. Now I just need to switch fonts to Latin extended (the Turkish characters aren’t rendering properly) but my brain will have to put that one off until tomorrow. I suspect it’s something in the functions file but blrgrghgh tomorrow.
Haha glad you like 🙂
The full-width styles would be a pain to pick out from the stylesheet, so here’s a link to the SASS file with them on our github repository: https://github.com/BenSibley/tracks/blob/master/sass/_post.scss
Just search for “full-width” to find all the relevant CSS.
Oh, thanks for the link, but I already picked them out – it wasn’t that bad. The layout in the link above is the result of my child theme stylesheet modifications, so I must have done it correctly. 🙂 Thanks for the mods!
Ok great, nice work with the customizations 🙂
