It worked! And I am wondering, again, why that bit of code is in the default version of this theme? If it makes that goofy thing happen with the image and all the space, why is that bit of code even IN the theme? It doesn't appear to be "needed," right? Or is it needed when the image IS bigger/huge? I hope I haven't created a problem for when they want to use a bigger image in that area of that widget!

Thanks again! At least it is fixed for now!

[kay9]

Thank you! I will do what you suggest and see what happens!

[kay9]

Yep, I do have it set to "align - none" right now, and it's staying over at the left, as you saw.

I just tried changing it to "align left" and now at least the post title is moved up, but the text of the post itself is still waaaaaay down there. Hmmm. Any idea how to make it wrap? Or?

Seems odd that this default version of this theme doesn't automatically do this, right?

Thank you for your help!!! 🙂

Shoot, sorry 'bout that! Yes it's a client site.

Susan (and whomever else happens along):

I did open a support ticket and here is what they said:

1. for the tagline, the code will say "removes the description". Then it will be that line of code.

I also asked why the captions under pictures were mangled in the iPhone view and how I could go about trying to fix this (I have not customized this theme) and this was the reply:

2. Margin:auto woudl be in the style.css for the home pages images. I also find these things with Firebug, or Chrome's Inspect Element. It's an invaluable tool for looking at the HTML source of your site as well as the css. It will even let you test changes before making them live.

If you or anyone else knows more about specifically how to fix this stuff, I'm all ears and maybe this will help the next person using the default Metro theme who is encountering these issues.

Ha! Too funny. Thanks again. I might open a ticket and ask, as you said. Couldn't hurt.

🙂

[kay9]

Yep, I just tried that! GMTA!

I added:

`#description {
display: block;
}`

to the stylesheet and saved, and refreshed and no change at all.

Baffling!

I'm thinking at some point it's easier to just make an image with the site title and tagline and use that!

Thanks again!

Susan - thank you, it worked perfectly. Wonder why the theme is not already coded that way? Weird, eh? Shouldn't it be updated with that code in it? Hmm. 🙂

Also, can anyone answer the other part of my question, as to why the tagline isn't showing in this theme?

Thanks!

[kay9]

OK thanks! I added the code you provided to the functions.php file for my child theme. It isn't doing anything, that I can tell. The authors are not displaying in the "posted by" line at the top of the posts, OR at the end of the posts. And yet, in the draft of the post, I see the three names under the edit post area, as if they WILL be listed when the post is published. Could the fact that the post is in "draft" still be causing the new multi-author byline to NOT show up?

Baffled here. Maybe I was supposed to modify the code you provided in some way? Sorry to be so dense! I really appreciate your help!

[kay9]

Hmm, well I don't understand which file I am supposed to modify, or exactly how, after reading this page. Unfortunately. Do I change the Co-Authors Plus template-tags.php file? Or do I change the theme's single.php and author.php files?

[kay9]

Gah, thank you so much for the reply! Sorry it took me so long to get back here. OK, I did not try the tags because it looked a bit outside my skill level. I will go look again!

Thanks!

[kay9]

Wow! Mary, thank you SO much!

I am going to go try your code and hope I do mess things up too badly. Will let you know how it goes. THANK YOU for the response and taking all the time to help! SO appreciate it.

Well ....

I was told by a little birdie, heh, that if I posted here and asked real nicely, some awesomely nice person might help me with CSS for this. As I said above (I'm the original poster), I need to have the theme show three separate portfolios for three separate book authors on the main/front page somehow. And still look cool! Love the theme.

Anyway, so this nice person said I would need to "edit the CSS .featuredpage classes for that section" and that I could "use the CSS used for 'featured posts' as a guide."

The person also said the following are the CSS classes to edit to accomplish what I want (see my original post above); in other words, I need to edit CSS selectors for these and I have NO CLUE how or what:

.footer-widgets-1,
#blog .featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n+1),
#portfolio .featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n+1) {
margin-right: 5.55556%;
}

.footer-widgets-1, .footer-widgets-2, .sidebar-content

#sidebar, #blog .featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n+1),

#blog .featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n+2), #content,

#content-sidebar-wrap, #footer .gototop, #portfolio

.featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n+1), #portfolio

.featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n+2), #sidebar-alt,

#title-area {
float: left;
}

.footer-widgets-1, .footer-widgets-2, .footer-widgets-3,

.sidebar, #blog .featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n),

#blog .featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n+1), #blog

.featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n+2), #portfolio

.featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n), #portfolio

.featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n+1), #portfolio

.featuredpost .post:nth-of-type(3n+2), #services

.alignright, #title-area {
width: 29.6296%;
}

.mp-home .featuredpost .entry, .single .entry {
margin-bottom: 3rem;
}

Anyone? Just thought I'd ask. 🙂
