Maybe, but to be sure try comparing files:

How to Find & Compare Different Changes in Your Files Code

You can remove the red categories using this snippet of CSS:

.newscategory {
  display: none;
}

You can paste this code in your child theme’s style.css or in a custom css plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.

To add a horizontal line between the author name and the post content you will first need to create a child theme.

Next,

1. Create a folder within your child theme folder called ‘inc’

2. Within that folder create another folder called ‘partials’

3. Go to your parent theme folder and download these two files from mediaphase-lite/inc/partials :

content-blog-default.php
content-single.php

4. Open up the first file (content-blog-default.php) and go to about line 65 and you will see this:

<h1 class="singleposttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

5. Directly below that line add this : <hr>

6. So, in the end it will look like this:

<h1 class="singleposttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

	<hr>

	<p class="newsauthor"><?php _e( 'Posted By', 'mediaphase-lite' ); ?> <a

			href="<?php echo esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ); ?>"

			class="authorname"><?php the_author(); ?></a></p>

7. Open the content-single.php file and go to about line 57 and repeat the process from #4.

8. Save both files and upload them to your child theme inside the inc/partials folder.

I hope that helps 🙂

Hi Selda,

Your welcome! I’m glad it helped you 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Esther,

The Simple Custom CSS plugin is working great for me, so yes, highly recommended 🙂

Alternatively, if you have Jetpack installed you can activate the Custom CSS Module from the Jetpack dashboard.

Good luck with your site!

Hi there!

I was able to remove the white space between the menu bar and the slider with this CSS snippet:

#masthead {
  margin-bottom: 0;
}

So it would look like this: Screenshot

You can paste this code in your child theme’s style.css or in a custom css plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.

I hope that helps 🙂

Hi there!

Can you post a link to your website so we can take a lot and make a suggestion for you?

Cheers 🙂

No problem. Your welcome! 🙂

I don’t think you need to use function, it’s just a matter of being super specific with the CSS.

Because it’s an old theme, its just a little tricky.

How about this…

Remove the captions everywhere using the previous code…

.wp-caption-text {
  display: none;
}

but then display them on the individual post pages:

(i.e. so they would appear here)

.list-news .single .wp-caption-text {
  display: block;
}

I think that will do the trick but I can’t test this theme out – not even sure what it’s called 🙂 so give it a try and if not I’ll take another shot.

I hope that helps!
