    Hi –

    I’ve just switched my blog to Kale theme and I love it!

    1) I want to get the home page looking more like the homepage on the theme demo. I’ve selected the ‘2 small posts followed by 1 full’ option. But is there any way to make the full post show only an extract on the homepage, the way it does in the demo, rather than the full post?

    2) Also I wanted the social icons in my bordered sidebar to show up centred, again as in the demo. How do I do this? (I found an answer elsewhere on the forum, but the code didn’t work.)

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hi @teabreakproject.

    Thank you for contacting us and for switching to our theme. We appreciate it.

    Now to answer your questions.

    1) You can simply insert “read more” element from within standard WordPress editor. Then the text up to “read more” will be shown.

    2) In order to centre that part, please add this to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS

    .jetpack_widget_social_icons ul {
	text-align: center;
}

    Please let me know if this works.

    Kind regards.

    Hi @siniplyrathemes –

    Thank you so much for your speedy response. Fixed it!

    A follow-up question: a lot of my images are embedded from flickr, with set dimensions, which fit the theme of my old site. However, now they’re too big, and overlap onto the sidebar, like on this post: https://www.teabreakproject.com/the-wonder-of-ice-at-fjallsarlon/

    Is there a way to stop this happening, without going through and editing the html for every image on every single blog post?

    Thanks

    Yes, there is. ??

    This should take care of that

    .single-content img {
	width: 100%;
	height: auto;
}

    Please let me know if it does.

    Kind regards.
