Im relatively new to WordPress and all it’s wonders. I’m absolutely in love with the Brand New Day theme. Is there anyway to get a horizontal menu bar below the website name?
]]>Hi there,
I’m struggling to find the CSS code that will allow me to upload a logo and insert that as my header. My website is https://www.stridefit.com and uses the Brand New Day theme – this does not allow header customization.
I’ve tried to search for previous posts that provide this support for the theme, but to no avail. I would hugely appreciate help.
Thanks a million in advance.
Rob
The blog I need help with is stridefit.com.
]]>Hi, nice theme. I wanted to point out something I had to manually change to make this theme work for me that might help others who use this theme in the future as well.
I am using a child theme I created to override some of the fonts and images, and none of my changes were showing up, because the way Functions.php is written, it does not check the child theme folder for sytlesheets, so everything in daylight.css overrides the child theme css files.
Luckily this is not difficult to fix. The function reference ( https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/get_template_directory_uri ) explains that you should replace get_template_directory_uri() with get_stylesheet_directory_uri() when making the path to stylesheets.
I hope you would consider making this change in the next release of this theme.
]]>Yes I am a newbie and very fresh at this. I browsed forever for a theme and Brand New Day jumped out at me. Even your other themes are fun!
I would like to add a field (or remove/change website field) on the leave a reply/comments area. Basically, I would like a drop down category menu with a couple parent and a few children underneath. Then when folks place a post they can select a category, to which this can be stored in a right hand side bar area in respective identical menus/categories.
I also noticed if you place a post on home page it uses the title of the page and feeds the post into the recent comments widget in sidebar. I did not want this to happen. Just want an home page to be static and not affiliated with any posts. Is there anyway to do this? This is our site, should you need it to refer to.

I am not sure if terminology I used is correct. Please forgive my naivety. I am very keen to learn. Any help would be appreciated. Thx
I am an embarrassingly naive user. I use Word Press through our school’s Edublogs. I have the Brand New Day theme on my organization’s page, and at the bottom there is a footer listing contact information. This information is out of date and needs to be revised… but for the life of me, I can’t figure out where it lives. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
]]>Hello,
I just downloaded this wonderful theme but when I activated it the sidebar isn’t showing up with the boxes like it looked in the preview.
I am an educator and not much for internet coding. Is there a simple way to address this problem?
Thanks so much!
]]>I really like the Brand New Day theme. I installed it (v1.6) via the WP internal installer. When I tried to preview it I got the “cheating, uh?” error. When I activated it I got the white blank screen of death.
I am able to reactivate the old theme I was using. I can also activate Twenty-eleven.
Of note…I get the same error when trying out Twenty-twelve…odd.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
]]>I am trying to remove the comments from the pages. Even when I deselect the comments option within the control panel, the comment area still appear. Can anyone help?
]]>Hi I would like to be able to shorten the post excerpt in the category to maybe 250 characters and then add a read more option.
Usually in the wordpress settings you can do this but it does not work…
Is it possible with this theme?
Thank you so much.. Enjoying the theme
]]>Hi Caroline,
First of all, many thanks for your great work with this wordpress theme!!
Xurit84 a friend of mine has done this translation to Catalan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_language
you can download de PO/MO files from here too:

]]>When I click on the Theme Options, I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::add_help_tab() in /home/clw2ftp/clw2waves.com/site/wp-content/themes/brand-new-day/theme-options.php on line 47
Please help.
]]>When I switch the sidebar to be displayed on the left side of the page, the flyout menu’s often don’t work. If you move your mouse over them very fast, they do work.
I’m having this problem with both IE and Firefox.
Thanks!
]]>Hi Caroline,
I created a Dutch translation of the Brand New Day theme (in use here:
https://programmerenvoorkinderen.nicolaas.net ).
You can get it here:

Share and enjoy,

]]>All,
I have been tinkering around with this theme for a friend to try to add side bars to both sides of the page for her. I am not an expert at coding, but google is my friend. However the way this theme is laid out, I am having issues trying to get it to recognize both side bars.
Based from guides I found online and looking at the code, I am pretty sure it is possible to activate both the right and left sidebar, by creating another side bar in the array. I tried that by putting it in the fuctions.php
[code moderated - use the pastebin for any code over the forum limit of 10 lines]
As you can see, I know have created two vertical side bars.
I then went and created a second sidebar1.php to have the same code (except took out the menu) as the original.
$options = get_option('brandnewday_theme_options');
$bnd_sidebaroptions = $options['sidebaroptions'];
$bnd_quickblog = $options['simpleblogmode'];
?>
<ul id="sidebar" class="sidebar" <?php if ( $bnd_sidebaroptions == "none" || $bnd_quickblog == 1 ) { echo "style='display: none;'"; } ?>>
<?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar( __( 'Vertical Sidebar1' , 'brand-new-day' ) ) ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>When I went into the wordpress ui, I was able to add widgets and the sidebar works...however, I cant get it to go to the right if the primary is on the left.
I event went as far as going into the theme options file and adding the option to select right and left side bars (to make it easier for my friend to switch between them) however my php coding experience is next to zero so I am not sure how the theme options is calling on the side bar files to them work with the css to put the side bars on the left and the right.
[code moderated - use the pastebin]
So essentially, I am trying to understand how the theme options file works with the index file and the css for this theme so I can adjust it so there is an option for sidebars on both sides of the posts....I feel I am very close and just missing a few lines of code to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.
]]>Hi there,
First, want to say it’s a brilliant theme ??
Second, I’ve created a child theme so I can make some mods for my own nefarious purposes.
So, the question i have is which is the post archive file?
The objective is to remove the dates from the posts. Sounds odd, but I’m using post categories to organise content and don’t need the date stamp on them everywhere.
I’ve removed the date stamp from single.php but the archive.php file doesn’t seem to exist… unless I’m missing something very, very obvious?
Thanks for any help you can give ??

]]>I had to add some code to change from all caps to normal, cannot find how to change the text size and color.
Thanks
]]>I noticed you update this theme pretty often and appreciate that. Could you include a changelog so I know if I need the update?
]]>Hi Caroline,
Following up on the reply on your website. Thanks for your quick reply.
I tested the code you provided and indeed it works. Btw, by means of testing I applied it in the Theme options >> custom css and it works even from there. I have to do some more thorough testing in order to check if everything else is still correct, but it looks promising.
Regarding the tagline displayed over multiple lines when the searchbox is removed (via the theme options), please have a look at this site.
Thanks again!
PS. I know I should not use IE7, unfortunately a large part of the world still doesn’t ??
]]>Hi there!
This is my first time using WordPress, and I’ve choosed to use your cool theme. I have duplicated the original brandnewday.po and .mo files, changed the name to es_ES.po and .mo, and I’ve translated them to spanish, but I don’t know how to change the default language to this. Can you please help me?
Thanks!
PS: I’d like to share my translation to you if you are interested.
