I’m using Penscratch 2 on www.ads-software.com hosted by Siteground. I want to remove Published by … View all posts by … at the end of blog posts. This is a link to the author archive. I can’t find a way to do that in the theme or plugin. Is there some css I could use?
]]>Hello,
On my blog, https://drake.org.uk, which is hosted on WordPress.com, I’d like to adjust the size of the navigation menu’s font as it’s pretty tiny in comparison to the others. The problem is I’m useless with CSS!
Is there a block of code I can add to the Additional CSS section which would enable me to increase the size of the navigational menu fonts?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Martyn

]]>In search.php it says:
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called content-search.php and that will be used instead.
Does anyone have a working example of this in action?
Basically, I need to change my Penscratch 2 search results so that results are in the following appearance/order:
Title
Excerpt
author_name (from custom taxonomy)
date (from custom taxonomy)
Just not sure how to proceed. A working example would be a welcome Clue!

]]>I’m trying to add social links to the footer of penscratch 2 theme, to the right of where it says “Proudly powered by wordpress”, exactly like it is on this example:
https://penscratch2demo.wordpress.com/?demo=true&iframe=true&theme_preview=true&calypso_token=c9ac3046-de5e-4448-ac67-30021b1f8c23
On this page:
https://wordpress.com/support/menus/social-links-menu/
it explains how to use the social links menu, however I can’t find in this theme.
Can anyone help please?
]]>From what I’m reading, Penscratch-2 supports turning on “Excerpts” for, say, Category Blog listings.
I have set: Settings –> Reading –> Excerpt, but am still not seeing them.
From what I’ve read, I should also be able to go into the Penscratch-2 Theme options and find an item for “Content Options”. I do not.
How can I turn on Excerpts in Penscratch-2 for Category Blog listings?
(A working example is here: https://symondsproject.org/category/student-blog/ )
Thanks,
Mark
]]>I have created a child theme of Penscratch-2.
The style.css file inside this child theme is not firing.
From what I’m reading, WordPress natively loads a Child CSS BEFORE a Parent CSS (which makes not sense to me insofar as I would supposed the whole point of the Child CSS is to override the Parent CSS), so you have to force enqueing in the Child’s functions.php. This I have done:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}Still no joy!
Anyone know how, in a Penscratch-2 environment, to get Child style.css to execute — and AFTER the Parent style?

]]>I recently changed the font on my site from Open Sans 300 to Open Sans 400 to make it more legible. The site description (“Artist and Printmaker”) I changed by ccs as I could not find any other way of doing it. While this has worked on the desktop version fine, on the tablet and mobile versions of the site description remains in Open Sans 300. Does anybody know a way of fixing this? Thanks in advance.

]]>Hi
I am having trouble correcting a bad Dutch translation of the more-link that appears at the end of post summaries and that is used to go to the full post.
Currently it says:
‘Lees meer over’ (Eng: ‘Read more about’)
Which is a wierd way to end -> read more about what exactly?
It should just be:
Lees meer (Eng: ‘Read more’)
I tried the suggestion from https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Customizing_the_Read_More to add a function to functions.php but I can’t change the file permissions for the theme through SFTP (getting an error navigating to the theme folder) and support won’t do that either.
I know that the wording can be changed using the more block (which was the suggestion from support as well) but that seems a lot of work to do every single time we are going to post something…
Does anyone have any ideas of what to do to make this a one-time (permanent) change? Or is there a way to change the translation through contact with a dev?
Thanks a million!
]]>On my website I have various additional CSS to change the size of the site heading, the page headings and the size and colour of the site description. All this works fine and is as I want it on the desktop version of the site but these changes don’t seem to apply very successfully to the tablet or mobile version of the site. Am I doing something wrong?
]]>Hello,
I have a code snippet for displaying the last updated date on posts, but I’m not sure which php theme file to insert it into for Penscratch 2.
The article below mentions one spot, but following the instructions results in the last updated date being shown on both posts AND pages. However, I only want it to appear on posts and am not 100% positive on which theme file to add it to for Penscratch 2.
The code snippet is from a WP Beginner’s article about using it.
]]>I am trying to reduce the space between the heading and the text on all pages, so on the example page the space between The Press and the text below. I have searched for other similar topics on the forum but I can’t seem to find any CSS that works for me, this might just be me of course ?? If anybody could help with this I would appreciate it, thanks.
]]>I have a lot of content on my blog in columns. Penscratch 2 automatically stacks the columns on mobile devices. I would like to retain the columns on mobile. I have messed around with the @media section in the CSS but haven’t been able to make it work.
]]>I wonder if somebody can help with this please . . . my Penscratch2 site has a niggling problem that I cant seem to figure out. The mobile version of the site shows a thin border of the grey background making the page narrower (this also happens on a tablet/ipad although not quite so important in that case). Other Penscratch sites don’t seem to have this issue, an example is: https://adriennecraddock.com I have a feeling I have done something that has caused this border to appear but I can’t work out what, any help would be much appreciated.
]]>I am trying to figure out how to add a small image centred on the page width as a footer in penscratch 2. Also I don’t want two grey lines, just one (as is currently). Ideally I would like the image to sit either just below or above the grey line. Is anybody able to help please?

I need help with the below:

]]>I’m using Penscratch, and want to switch to Penscratch 2 — provided it’s easier than switching to an entirely different theme. Would my customisations remain stable? Where can I find instructions on how to make the switch?
]]>I am using Penscratch 2 theme, and the fourth menu link (in a category column) will not work after jumping through a few pages. Can someone help me with this? I have searched Google and this forum for help already. Thank you in advance.
]]>I’d like to edit the font size and letter spacing of both entry titles and page titles.
I would also like to center them (along with date underneath for posts) on the layout instead of left-justifying.
Tried several times to edit the code to no avail. My edits worked in Chrome Inspect Element but the changes aren’t showing up after I use Editor.
Thanks for help!
]]>Hello and thanks for a great theme.
I have one problem though, it is when using the excerpt function.
I get either one or two problems with this.
1. When I set the theme to use excerpts, it does not use the excerpt I write within the excerpt field while writing a post. It just adds the first four lines and adds a “continue reading” button. It also doesn’t follow the formatting such as H1, H2, H3, and does not include space between the H3 and the following text which makes it look quite bad.
2. If I do not write a specific excerpt in the excerpt field, it does just the same as described in point 1.
3. If I however put in a read more wherever I want to, it only shows the selected text that I wanted. But it does not add a read more button, which makes accessing the post impossible.
How can I fix this? The only thing I want is for the excerpt field to function, as I usually write my own short excerpts.
Also how can I change the text of Continue reading to Les mer (Norwegian)?
Please help me with these issues.
Best regards
Orlando

Hello, i’m trying to setup social links and read through https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/social-links-menu/ but after creating one there is no ‘social links menu’?
]]>It’s me again! ??
Is there a way to set the Content and sidebar width to 500px and 250px respectively?
I checked the css code under /* Media Queries */ and all I can do is to set the content to 500px and not the sidebar. Also, can I change the “em” values to “px” values? Since I’m more familiar with the px than em.
Cheers!
]]>I am using Penscratch 2 and would like to remove the ‘Published By’ line that appears underneath every post. I am the only poster, and don’t like the look of the line. Thank you to anyone who can help.
]]>In the functions.php file, this is the section I want to change:
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
add_image_size( ‘penscratch-2-featured’, 656, 300, true );
After updating to Penscratch 1.0.1, my featured images no longer show up as their full size. I’ve changed the numbers repeatedly to reflect a larger size, but that has not worked. Is there somewhere else I need to change the featured image size?
]]>Hi,
I’m using a Penscratch, I just notice that whenever I’m in the single or reading an article then click on the Category link at the bottom of the article, it directs me to a blank page with the correct url.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!
]]>I am using the Penscratch 2 theme. When you visit a child page, the parent page menu title isn’t ‘green’ but stays grey. I would like to know if this can be changed by css customization.
An example can be found here. When you hover over ‘About me’ you see there are a number of child pages. When you click on one of them, the parent page menu title isn’t green but grey – like all the other menu titles. So, the reader doesn’t know what section he is in.
I am running a self-hosted site – not a wordpress.com site.
]]>Penscratch 2 is a refreshed version of the original Penscratch theme, available for download at the bottom of this page:
https://wordpress.com/theme/penscratch-2
View demo: https://penscratch2demo.wordpress.com/
Setup guide: https://wordpress.com/theme/penscratch-2
New features include:
- Added support for an Author Bio, which you can display or hide via the Jetpack plugin’s Content Options panel in the Customizer.
- Added Featured Images on single posts. These can also be hidden via the Content Options panel, if you wish.
- Removed post-format support. (Post formats weren’t styled in original version of the theme.)
- Used Jetpack Social Links menu rather than a custom solution.
- Added support for a larger core Custom Logo instead of Jetpack Site Logo.
- Added three footer widget areas.
- On the code side, updated widget and menu IDs and page template names/slugs for better consistency after a theme switch.
We won’t be updating the original version of Penscratch to avoid disrupting existing users. We hope you enjoy Penscratch 2.
Questions about either version of Penscratch are welcome in this forum.
