Title: Shell Lite Theme Modification Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Shell Lite Theme Modification * [gsugapong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gsugapong/) * (@gsugapong) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shell-lite-theme-modification/) * To whom it may concern, * I am Gill Sugapong and I own this website http”//giswebsolutions.com. I used Shell lite theme because it has everything I need on a template. As you could take a glance on my website, you will recognize that there have been modifications. First, the widgets (from 3 col to 2). Second, I removed the headline and subheadline. So much for that, I just need some help for the following: * 1. How can I change the “searchbox” with a “tertiary widget” since I have removed the tertiary widget below the content area portion? Reason: I want to put a text on the supposed searchbox area where this text shows our toll free number. * 2. If ever no. 1 is possible, I would like to ask of How to move the Social icons? If I will be able to change the searchbox to text, I want to put the social icons below the text. * 3. I would like to change the 4 corners of the website into rounded one because it is so solid or pointed. What should I do? * 4. If you could time to visit the “about” page, you will notice that the footer is not on the right place. * 5. However, the footer on the rest of the page is placed correctly but the header together with the container were not aligned with the footer. I guess the footer( except on the “about” page”) is placed correctly. Both header and the container have margins of “0 auto;” as well as the footer. * Thanks you very much indeed for reading. Any assistance or response on this post will be appreciated. * Regards, Gill Sugapong Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [gsugapong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gsugapong/) * (@gsugapong) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shell-lite-theme-modification/#post-3685175) * here the link again to my website [giswebsolutions.com](http://giswebsolutions.com) * [Stanko Metodiev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/metodiew/) * (@metodiew) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shell-lite-theme-modification/#post-3685190) * Hi Gill, * I’ll try to answer in your questions: 1) If you want to put only text why don’t you HTML/PHP code in _header.php_ file around line 68: * ``` ``` * 2) If 1) is works for you, than try to edit CSS for social icons * ``` #header .social-icons { margin: 85px -85px 0 0; } ``` * This is only for example, you have to adjust the numbers. * 3) About Rounded corners you can use border radius * ``` #header { border-top-left-radius: 20px; border-top-right-radius: 20px; } #footer { border-bottom-left-radius: 20px; border-bottom-right-radius: 20px; } ``` * Same for the these numbers, you can play it them. * About footer, make sure you have all __ tags closed. * Also keep in mind these changes will be gone when you updated theme, so make sure you have use Child Theme. Here is more information: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * Hope this will be helpful. Let me know if I can help you something else. * Regards, Stanko * Thread Starter [gsugapong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gsugapong/) * (@gsugapong) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shell-lite-theme-modification/#post-3685193) * Thank you very much indeed, I’ll try to work on it. * Thread Starter [gsugapong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gsugapong/) * (@gsugapong) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shell-lite-theme-modification/#post-3685201) * I have done step 2 – 3, thanks for your immediate response!:) However, i got some proble using HTML/PHP. When I used your codes, the icons didn’t show.:( * And before I forget, is it possible to put shadow outside the page? so that the page looks like floating? Thanks! * [Stanko Metodiev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/metodiew/) * (@metodiew) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shell-lite-theme-modification/#post-3685211) * In _header.php_ between two divs you should add your text. * About shadow, probably its doable, but you have to play with CSS. This was never considered likely in order to maintain as clean as possible the theme. * Stanko * Thread Starter [gsugapong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gsugapong/) * (@gsugapong) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shell-lite-theme-modification/#post-3685214) * Yes, I had intered the text. after I updated, the text showed without the icons below. tsk! * [Stanko Metodiev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/metodiew/) * (@metodiew) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shell-lite-theme-modification/#post-3685215) * The Social icons should be there, but they can be floating because of their margins. If you have something like this: * ``` ``` * Your margins should be around: * ``` margin: 110px -100px 0 0; ``` * Of course these are example values. It depends of your text and icons. * Thread Starter [gsugapong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gsugapong/) * (@gsugapong) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shell-lite-theme-modification/#post-3685216) * My nose is bleeding. AHAHAHA! I should call my web developer on this and finish this project. But, I’ll try to figure it by myself first. Thank you very much indeed!
