In reply to: [Intergalactic] add link to footer intergalactic themeHi Kathryn. Yep, that sorted it. Top stuff.
I think that brings me to the end of the initial phase of my build and I wanted to express my gratitude to you and sacredpath. It was my first ever website and you guys have been so kind answering my queries. I’ve really learnt a lot. I’m new to the etiquette here but wanted to offer to make a donation to a charity of your choice. If that sounds appropriate, please send me a link.

In reply to: [Intergalactic] add link to footer intergalactic themeThanks for your perseverance Kathryn! I did as you said but it’s not fixed it, I’m afraid. Any other thoughts?

In reply to: [Intergalactic] add link to footer intergalactic themeThanks for looking into it. But the issue is that although it looks the same on all pages, the contact/ home text in the footer are hyperlinks. These work on the homepage but not the blog posts. I’m going round in circles trying to work out why!

In reply to: [Intergalactic] add link to footer intergalactic themeSo… I’ve pretty much got the footer looking the way i want now. But the links only work on the home page: http://www.maplango.com/
But not any of the blog pages, eg: http://www.maplango.com/strategy/
How can i fix that?

In reply to: [Intergalactic] reduce height of images on blog postsSo your fix works perfectly. But it (understandably, necessarily!) cuts off images. And when its the top of someones head, it’s not so great. Also, the images don’t have the same impact (revealing bigger, brighter image on post than home page).
I was only asking because i have received feedback that it was hard to navigate the site, requiring too much scrolling. I don’t think so. And I prefer it with impactful images. So will revert to the original.
Thank you! So much. You’ve been a great help.

In reply to: [Intergalactic] add link to footer intergalactic themeKind of you to help. Thanks Kathryn! Super grateful. I’m new to all this and had no idea i could do that!
With that tip i have started to play, as you can see: http://test.zedonk.net/ but i’m struggling to control the text colour. i have this bit of css but it doesn’t apply to all text in footer:
.site-info {
font-size: 100%;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;

In reply to: [Intergalactic] add link to footer intergalactic themePS. To be clear, i mean ‘contact’ as a hyperlink

In reply to: [Intergalactic] align blog excerptBingo!
Think maybe I wasn’t communicating well enough. That’s what i wanted all along; to center excerpts above the centered Read More buttons.
Perfect, resolved, thank you!

In reply to: [Intergalactic] align blog excerptthanks kathryn.
yes, that does visualize it but i’m still not sure how to fix it. the excerpt text in your example is aligning to the left of the container, rather than above the ‘read more’ button.
for the balanced look it would need to align with the blog title and read more button, ie centrally rather than left.
i hope I’m making sense, and there’s a solution.

In reply to: [Intergalactic] align blog excerptThanks for you help, Kathryn, you’re clearly an expert in these parts! Have read several of your posts over last few days…
So with the alignment issue, i figured out that it has to do with the length of text in the ‘excerpt’ field on the blog.
If you see the homepage: http://test.zedonk.net/
The ‘get it sorted’ blog has only ‘headline information’ in the ‘excerpt field, and aligns to the left.
Whereas the ‘WELCOME, ENTER YE’ blog has ‘i definitly need something to be in here but i wonder if it is expecting it to be quite a long test and indeeed whether it cuts it off at a certain point if it gets to long. i suppose this must be long enought o find out’ in the excerpt field. And it aligns centrally.
Hope that makes sense to you. From my perspective, I figure I just need to make sure i have x characters in the excerpt for it to align.

In reply to: [Intergalactic] need a child theme?Aha! The main man! Hi sacredpath, I’ve read several of your posts over last few days. Thanks for coming back to me.
I managed to change text case in the end. And decided that the original is better. So much for my design skills!
Was battering my head this weekend, and had some very kind help from touchcoding about the next/previous issue, see here :
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/change-font-navigation-text?replies=13
…but try as i might i can’t get it to work! At this point, I’ll move on/ live with it.Have indeed set up child css (quite proud of myself!) and have added few minor tweaks.
Your fix for blog width has worked a treat. Thanks
Used slightly different code for header/ logo which seems to do the job (unless you tell otherwise) http://test.zedonk.net/
.home .site-title a {
text-indent: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
background: url(http://test.zedonk.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/ZEDONK_RGB-300×97.jpg) center no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 300px;
height: 97px;
}yes, found one of your posts, i believe, to sort out the footer. It would look cleaner without the ‘Proudly powered by WordPress | Theme: Intergalactic by WordPress.com’ text. But i have been able to add the text i need and seeing as I’m standing on the shoulders of giants credit where its due!
Cheers

In reply to: change font navigation texttouchcoding that is so kind of you!!
got the .home image sorted. thanks.
have downloaded the files but got in a right muddle when i tried to activate. where exactly should i save them? Directly in the /themes/intergalactic-child02 folder? also, i already have a child theme css file in there, which makes some minor adjustments. what should i do with your new css code, append it?
