In reply to: [Prologe Lite] Nice and fast loadingI want to say thank you for your 5-star rating and review 🙂
A few more tweaks to perform over time, but it’s already turning out to be a popular theme from the Rough Pixels website.

In reply to: [bbPress Notify (No-Spam)] Replies Setting – For usersThanks for the fast reply!
I wasn’t really wanting to put in the bbToolkit, especially because it’s 2 years since last updated. But for now, I reinstalled it and checked the box next to “Auto tick the Notify me of follow-up replies via email (so activate the subscription to every topic you reply to)“. Hopefully, that is the one you are referring to?
There are many things bbPress should be doing, but they never seem to accept repeated recommendations over the years. It would also be nice to have an option to have all admin notifications to go an email that you could enter into an option setting.

In reply to: [Storytime] Making text box transparent/translucentGreetings!
I’m going to assume you want a transparent background on “all” pages and posts? IF so, you will need to add this to your customizer’s Additional CSS tab:
.hentry { background: rgba(255,255,255,0.5); }You can change the 0.5 to the transparency level you want; this references 50% transparency. The 255,255,255 that you see there is the colour white, but instead of HEX colour, that represents RGB value.
For the footer colours to be done independently, you can do this:
#site-footer, #footer-site-title { color: #000000; }The colour can be done with HEX colour value, hence the #000000 (black). Just change it to what you want.

In reply to: [Storytime] Hiding page titlesAh, good to know 🙂
I also discovered a couple of tweaks I need to do with Storytime.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Storytime] Unable to create front splash pageHi Cynthia,
Probably best to post that issue as a new topic and I will help you with that one right away. The forum moderators will catch this and say it’s a different topic and that it’s already set to “Resolved” 🙂
When you repost it as a new topic, can you also paste in the CSS code you used before to hide titles?

In reply to: [Storytime] Unable to create front splash pageHi Cynthia,
This should help as it relates to both the free and premium version of Storytime 🙂https://www.roughpixels.com/setting-up-storytime/#splash-page
If you still run into problems, let me know and I will be happy to guide you through the splash page setup.

In reply to: [Storytime] No homepage featured image for blogHi Neal. I just uploaded version 1.5 for Storytime.
I created a new blog layout option, so in addition to the two choices you had, you have a third with a Splash Blog option. Please note that this is only available when the blog is on the front page. I also made the layout as a blog with a right sidebar.
You can also add your main menu to the primary and also the splash menu locations (at the same time). If you add your main menu to the splash menu location as well, you will get a text-based menu on the splash image. Whether you use your site’s main menu or still use a splash menu (with just one link, like “Start Reading”), but the link will be a custom anchor link using this as the URL
#contentSo when someone clicks on it, it scrolls down to the content area. I also added a script to make the scroll smooth. The important part is that on the front page of your site when using this splash blog layout, you need one of your menu links to use the #content anchor link.
Hopefully, all that made sense and that the update feature works for you…I had to read it twice 🙂

In reply to: [Storytime] No homepage featured image for blogI should have the update for this theme done by tomorrow evening; currently working (multitasking 3 projects at the moment). Once the update goes live here, I will give you a quick message.
But here is your opportunity to have a say on the layout 🙂
I was planning to do a full-width blog layout (no left or right sidebar) when someone scrolls down, or a right sidebar layout. So which one would you like to see?Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Storytime] No homepage featured image for blogYou are very welcome. I’ve decided to implement the blog to have the full splash page for the free version of Storytime here. Probably take me until tomorrow to upload it.
Basically, if your blog is on the front page, you will have a splash image where you can scroll down. The splash page itself filling the browser window will stay the same, the only change will be that you can scroll down to the content.
As a side note, I like getting feedback from theme users because they often help improve the theme(s) I create.

In reply to: [Storytime] No homepage featured image for blogHi Neal,
I’m actually working on options with the pro version, which required a bit of restructuring. But for the free Storytime version, I could look into at least making it so that if the blog is on the front page, scrolling downward could show the blog. I might be just a full-width blog layout though.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Storytime] Theme not allowing for Mailchimp or Google AnalyticsI’m back in my studio and fired up Storytime. With Google Analytics, I put my own code into the header file and it was showing me as the site visitor when I looked at the live view with Google. One thing to make note of is that there are two headers, the normal site header file and the other is the splash header file; means both need to have the analytics code added.
**I would also recommend using a plugin if you can because then you can keep the GA code in place whenever there is a Storytime theme update. Otherwise, adding it directly into the theme files means with each update of the theme, your code will be overwritten (removed). You would need to re-add the code after every theme update.
Try your code again but make sure it’s in both the header.php and the header-splash.php files. Check your live view in Google Analytics to see if it shows your visit as it happens.
MailChimp
For MailChimp, I use the Mail Chimp for WordPress plugin and just tested it with the live demo of Storytime. I then tried to subscribe to the newsletter and it worked for me.
Again, let me know if you are using the plugin (or a different plugin), or if you used custom code only.

In reply to: [Storytime] Theme not allowing for Mailchimp or Google AnalyticsSorry for late reply, I was away for the last several hours but once I am back in my studio in the next 2 hours, I will jump on this right away and see what might be happening. Questions first…
1. Are you using a mailchimp plugin or their own code?
2. Same for Google analytics, did you grab their own code?Do you have your site live? If so, please post the link here and I will take a look at the source code. From there, I can do some troubleshooting and see what might be happening. What I will do is set up a test site with this theme and see if I can replicate the issue you are having, and of course, find a solution for you and to determine if it’s the theme.
Best Regards,

In reply to: Suggestions for Learning Behind the Scenes ItemsYou are very welcome. One other thing you can do is talk to the theme developer where you got the theme from and ask them if they have suggestions to optimize your website.
