Hi there,

is there a quick way to make it possible, that when you click on the search icon (magnifying glass), the cursor is placed/activated right in(to) the search box, so no extra click is necessary to be able to enter the search words/phrases?

Thanks a lot,
Markus

Recently setup the Apex theme on my WordPress site and I’m loving it so far. But i really wanna get rid of featured images being shown in posts. Because i want to be able to add images on top my posts that are different from the featured image.

Is there any way i can do this with very limited (basically none) coding skills?Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi there,

is there a shortcode available to display the “last modified/updated” date of a post or page in the sidebar?

Thanks,
Markus

Hi Ben,

I’d like to change the standard WordPress text color palette. Color information is stored in theme.json file, which not theme-dependent as far as I know.

Any way you could think of, to place this color information/theme.json file in the child theme folder and override the standard theme.json?

Thanks,
Markus

Hi Ben,

I recognized that some expressions/phrases are already available in German language. I did not find any DE language file in the theme. Where can I adapt the translations?

Thanks a lot for your help ??

Hi Ben,

hopefully my last question about customizing the look of Apex ??

Is there a way to change the font size of the post titles in the search results blocks? For my use case the titles are a bit too large to make a nice overall look of the page.

Thanks – again ??

Cheers,
Markus

Hi there,

is there an easy way to prevent globally the usage of certain blocks?

Like exclude “Widgets” completely, or just skip embeddings like SoundCloud, Animoto, etc.?

Thanks for assistance ??

Cheers,
Markus

Hi Ben,

I am getting more and more familiar with Apex. It is really great and – also for me as a beginner with CSS etc. – very well adaptable.

One thing I still wasn’t able to figure out: there’s a grey line in the sidebar between widgets. How can I color it in white or even exclude it from being displayed?

Here’s a screenshot snippet.

Thanks for your advise!

Thanks & cheers,
Markus

Hi Ben,

may I ask you for help on two things:

First, adaptions for the desktop view:

I “removed” the primary menu container by

menu-primary-container {
display: none;
}

Now the search box is gone, too ?? How do I get it back on the desktop view (just the search).

Second, the menu on mobile view:

Question 1: the burger menu item, is there a chance to keep it on top when expanding the menu, or even show it on top and on bottom of the list?

Question 2: we have certain pages, subpages, subsubpages, etc. Is it possible to style the list with indenting, different font weights etc. to get a more structured view?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers,
Markus

Hi there,

Thanks a lot,
Markus

Hi,

I would like the post navigation (previous and next) to display only posts of the same category, because I have restricted content (some posts are public and some are not).

If it’s not possible or too complicated, I would like to remove post navigation, I tried to add CSS like this : .post-navigation {display:none;}, but it didn’t work.

Could you help me ?

We want to use a mobile menu plugin and need to hide the menu display in mobile. Any snippets for this by any chance ?

Thanks

Can anyone share some css to help make this happen? Thanks in advance.

On our site I need to hide the navigation bar on all page but the home page. Can anyone share some css that can help us with this?

Thanks in advance.

I will be teaching a class to a group of students and each student will be designing and publishing a finished web page as part of a class project. The school uses WordPress CMS as their page builder. I have asked them to add the Apex Theme for the page template.

AT the bottom of the page editor, there is an option to insert two school images onto the bottom of each published page. The school wants to hide this section on the student projects.

I am looking at the Pro theme because it has the Display Controls features. Would that feature be able to hide the image edits.

Would appreciate any ideas anyone can share,

Thanks

Since I can’t use a link to the back end of their site, I have provides a link to a screen shot at the page above.

I would appreciate someone sharing css for any of the following:

to increase the font weight of the primary menu.

a different color for an active link in primary menu.

Hiding the post title (all posts)….found one for the pages

Thanks

We need to change a misspelled link on our social media icon in the menu header. However we are not able to because when we go to the customize option in the menu, the page that opens is completely blank. There is a widget and menu button on the left side-bar but no options to change anything. There is also no option to change this in the general theme area from the dashboard. Can the customize page be reset without losing any content?
Thank you.

Hello,

First of all, thanks for the theme.

There is no problem with the web image, but the box on the home page does not work on mobile or tablet. The menus are not visible at the top of the page when the phone or tablet is upright. When you take it to the side, the menus are displayed.

It was working before, I disabled and checked all plugins but it didn’t fix.

Can you help me?

You will see my problem when you enter on mobile or tablet.

Hi,

I am using Apex with Morning child theme. I also have the Apex Pro plugin activated.

I have an issue with the bbPress plugin where although the forum topic pages work, the forum main page does not display properly.

I already contacted the bbPress forum and they were very helpful. They said there is a conflict with the theme, in that bbPress cannot locate the default page template. They pointed me to section 8 of this tutorial https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#8-make-sure-bbpress-uses-the-page-template-we-want

Now the tutorial says bbPress can be forced to use the theme’s default page template. I believed it to be index.php so I created a duplicate in the apex theme root folder and renamed it to bbPress.php. It does not work. So index.php may not be the theme’s default page template or I am doing something else that is wrong.

Can you please help out?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Stanley

My meta titles are currently showing the same as the post titles.
I am using Yoast and have set a different title format, but it won’t show.

What file is the post title set in? Yoast suggests changing it to <title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title> to make it dynamic.

Thanks!

Hi Ben. Would love to get your help on removing dates under post titles and in the comment section. Thanks in advance! ??

Hi,

Recently I noticed that some of the font awesome icons I am using have stopped showing on the website, and I can’t seem to find out why.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

My sidebar widget and Sumo apps have all disappeared from sweetcleanliving.com

I’ve cleared the cache on the site, as well as in my browser. Under the Customize menu, it tells me that I have a sidebar widget, but it doesn’t appear on ‘this’ page – my front page!

Please advise

My clients recently realized that there was a string of code displaying on their pages. Couldn’t locate any fixes in the forum. Anybody? Thanks!

Hi,

Using some code I found in here I have managed to get my site title to show nice and big on computer screen but it’s resizing way too small on mobile.

How can I force the site title to fit/fill the screen width on mobile?

Also, is there a way I can target the spacing between letters in the site-title to bring them closer together. I’m using a custom font for my band logo lettering but the letters are much too far apart. Reducing the space between them somehow would be brilliant.

Here is the code I am using already for the letter sizing:

@media all and (min-width: 62.5em) {
.site-title {
font-size: 200px;
}
}

Please also note that this is the ‘Morning’ theme variant, not Apex itself.

Thanks in advance ??

Hi again,

I’d love for the social media icons to show in a centred position at the top of the mobile screen render, as opposed to having to click the 3 line menu icon to access them.

I don’t need the menu at all really, just the social media icons. Is there a way I can get them to show by default on media screens? I have managed to do this on Mac screen by hiding the ‘.menu-primary-items’ and commanding the social media icons not to float (float:none) by doctoring some code I found elsewhere in the forum.

Anyway to achieve this on mobile/tablet also would be amazing!

Many thanks in advance ??

Hi,

I’ve been playing with the elements of the ‘Morning’ theme which appears to be a subsidiary of the ‘Apex’ theme that works on the same principles.

Ideally, I’d like to centre the .loop-container and all content within whilst removing the sidebar div and content as I don’t need it. I’ve figured out how to hide the sidebar but not how to remove it and the space it takes so that I can centre the main .loop -container div.

Is this possible?

Many thanks in advance and thanks for this beautiful, simple, minimal theme!

Hello,
I’m trying to transfer my site to a new server (and a different subdirectory).

I’ve followed all of the normal steps outlined in the “Moving WordPress” document.

None of my Apex Pro customization is showing up on the new server.

When I take a look at the wp_options table, the theme_mods_apex entry is there and is identical between the two sites, however the options aren’t being displayed on the site… currently the new site looks like a default Apex install.

Could this be an issue having to do with activation of the “Pro” version?

Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi!

I was wondering if you can help me place a background image on -one- of my sidebar widgets (specifically the email opt in widget) on my site.

Thank you.

Thanks so much for downloading Apex!

Apex has a ton of resources for customizing your site and fixing errors. Here’s a list of the resources and how to use each one.

Apex tutorials

If you want to add the large images showcased in the demo, customize the menus, and do more with Apex, check out the Apex Support Center for step-by-step tutorials.

Customizing Apex

You don’t need to know CSS to tweak and customize your site with it. Apex has dozens of pre-written CSS snippets you can copy and paste in the Apex CSS Snippets Collection.

Advanced customization

If you need to reorder elements in the template or make complex customizations, you’ll need to use a “child theme“. You can click here to download a starter child theme for Apex and find basic setup instructions here.

Something went wrong!

If you notice something isn’t working that used to work, check out the Apex changelog. It will let you know about the recent changes so you can check if an update caused the new error.

If you do ever have an issue with a new version of Apex, you can always use the WP Rollback plugin to revert to a prior version without the error.

General WP questions

You can find dozens of tutorials on using WordPress on the Compete Themes blog.

Still have questions?

If you have any errors or unanswered questions, search the forum here to see if there’s an existing solution. If not, please open a new thread.

When posting a new thread, please include the URL of your website. I don’t always need this, but sometimes I do so it will get you a solution faster.

Thanks for checking this thread and enjoy the theme ??
