Hi,

After the major update of Medical last week I have updated theme again.

Unfortunately several changes that have been added lately may break your child theme and/or custom CSS. But to make this theme better, this is not something that can be avoided.

Most significant change:
Replaced logo section from right to left side.
Logo and site title on left side is most common.

For users with a child theme:

• Extra container for main content area
• Have updated files header and footer

For users with custom CSS:

• Changed class postmetadata into post-metadata
• Changed class postmetadata-bottom into post-metadata-bottom
• Changed class readmore into read-more

For all users:

• Changes are made in the stylesheet (CSS)
• If website doesn’t look as expected after theme update, clear your (browser) cache and reload the page

In a previous version I have added the great flexbox layout method to the header section, but reverted this again. Although flexbox is great, this theme was developed before flexbox became the number one layout method. To be consistent only floats are being used throughout stylesheet. That’s why flexbox is removed again.

Rest assured, no more major updates in the (near) future!

Hi,

Yes, another update after almost 2 years!

In last update of Medical I have included new settings in the Customizer:

• Display or hide site title and tagline
• Display featured image on the single post page
• Set length of the post summary
• Change label of the Read More button and Mobile Menu button

For users with a child theme:

• Because of the new settings in the Customizer you may not even need a child theme anymore
• Files header, single and single-full: updated to include new settings from above
• File header: homepage content (homepage image and homepage sidebar) has been moved to separate file
• File footer: removed whitespace and such

For users with custom CSS:

• Changes are made in the stylesheet (CSS)
• Changed ID of the homepage image and homepage sidebar container into homepage-content
• Changed CSS class of the homepage image into homepage-image
• Changed CSS class of the homepage sidebar into homepage-sidebar
• Most changes in the mobile stylesheet (to make website look better in small screen)

For all users:

• Changes are made in the stylesheet (CSS)
• If website doesn’t look as expected after theme update, clear your (browser) cache and reload the page

Hi,

In last theme update I’ve removed Google font (Open Sans) because of the GDPR. Medical now uses system font Verdana instead.

You can easily add your own font with one of the plugins that are available for this, such as the Fonts Plugin.

Hi,

For users with a Medical child theme:

Sometimes you cannot avoid updating template files. This time I have updated files header and footer.

File header: added code for new feature in Customizer (logo width). And added ID to several mobile menu elements.
File footer: added code for new feature in Customizer (add content to footer).

Those changes might have broken some of your customizations, I’m sorry for that. If you want help to fix it again please open a topic in support forum.

Hi,

About the recent Medical theme update:

Main reason for last update is to improve accessibility and better support for screen readers.

Because of this I had to change the CSS of main navigation. Mainly the CSS of submenu and mobile menu.

Those changes might have broken some of your CSS customizations, I’m sorry for that. If you want help to fix it again please open a topic in support forum.

For users with a child theme, I have updated file header. Added a skip-to-content link and changed the div with class “mobile-nav-toggle” into a button.

Guido

Hi,

I have this problem concerning featured images.
They appear on posts’ blog page which shows all the posts.
They simply do not appear on selected post’s page.
I would be very thankful for help concerning this topic.

Hi,

About the recent Medical theme updates:

The last couple of months there where several theme updates to improve the quality of this theme. Lately there where many (minor) CSS changes regarding the width and floating of div elements.

When a div element contains floated child elements this div can collapse. In the past I resolved this collapsing by adding width and floating to this div, but using a so called clearfix is best practice. So that’s why I’ve removed the width and floating and added a clearfix instead.

Besides this I’ve restyled the mobile menu.

Those changes might have break some of your CSS customizations, I’m sorry for that. If you want help to fix it again please open a thread in support forum.

I’m not planning new theme updates anytime soon..

Hi,

This month I will update Medical theme, and add a fully new mobile navigation (navigation in mobile screen).

This means I will replace the (jquery) select menu with a dropdown (jquery) toggle menu.

If you’re using a child theme that contains file “header.php”, you should update this file after updating theme. Otherwise the new dropdown toggle menu won’t work. I have added some extra lines of code regarding the new menu in this file.

Guido

Hi Guido,

Great that I can ask you a question about the theme Medical.
How can I delete the ‘posted on’ and the ‘by’ text?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

For those who have customized Medical theme:

The last couple of months there where several theme updates to improve the quality of this theme. I have made lots of changes in many files. Please also check previous posts in this theme-forum. Lately there where many (small) CSS changes regarding margin, padding, float, clear, etc. To solve issues such as margin collapsing. Those changes might have break some of your customizations, I’m sorry for that.

Hi,

In upcoming theme update I have improved the heading structure because of SEO.

This might have consequences in case of modifications you’ve made.

New structure is:

• Site title = h1 (not changed)
• Tagline = h2
• Page title = h1
• Single post title = h1
• Post title link = h2
• Widget title = h3

Hi,

Thank you for using one of my themes. I’m trying to check this forum once every week.

You can also reach me via my website, but only in case of emergencies.

Enjoy,

Guido

This is the perfect theme for my needs, but I am having trouble changing a few minor things:
– I changed the main theme color (from bright blue to a more faded blue) in the stylesheet, but it isn’t showing up live. Am I missing some code somewhere?
– I’d like to make the logo extend across the entire header. Is this possible?
– How do I change the number of posts that display on the homepage?

Thanks so much for any help!
