Hi again,

Last problem got solved in no time, so here is another one.
Is there a way to make the margin on the sides bigger in the mobile version?
Whenever I manipulate the responsive css at the bottom, not much happens.
I just want to have broader content, so you can read it more easily and whitout all those unnecessary paragraphs.

Regards,

Hey,

i found the function syntax_posted_on in the editor, which lines do I need to remove the author from posts as well as that little person symbol right next to it?

regards,

Is it possible to change the background colour of the header (the dark grey)? I’d like it to be the same white as the body background.

I have a problem with the theme’s mobile layout. The right side of the website is blank, seems like as if something (an image or text) pushes the right margin out of the layout, but actually there’s nothing that could cause this. I saw there was another topic about it but apparently it was resolved. See here
I really like this theme and I would like to keep using it but I really don’t know how to solve this problem.

When I “remove Google fonts” in Autoptimize plugin I get a significant boost in page speed. PageSpeed insights is telling me to optimize

https://fonts.googleapis.com/…talic&subset=latin%2Clatin-ext&ver=4.4.2

So I’d like to load “Merriweather” locally. I’ve copied Merriweather.ttf to a fonts folder in my child theme. But that’s all.

What code do I need to accomplish this?

I found some advice to put the following in an includes folder in my child theme.

// Deregister X Fonts
function re_deregister_styles() {
wp_deregister_style(‘x-font-custom’);
wp_deregister_style(‘x-font-standard’);
}

add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘re_deregister_styles’, 100 );

// Deregister WordPress Default Font
function google_fonts_load_disable( $styles ) {
$styles->add( ‘open-sans’, ” );
}
add_action( ‘wp_default_styles’, ‘google_fonts_load_disable’, 5 );

But this is part of some other theme and solution. So any advice welcome.

Do I need more font formats other than ttf? For example will I somehow need to convert ttf to .eot, .woff2, .woff,.ttf,.svg?

Love the theme!!!!

The header text centers fine on small screens when the menu is at the top, but how do I get the text to center by default when the menu is on the side please?

Hi there

I wonder if someone can help me. I’ve just started using the Syntax theme which is great however I can’t work out why the list of Archives, Recent Posts, Categories at the bottom of the main page comes up twice. I may be doing something wrong but I don’t know.

If you can scroll to the bottom of https://www.50wordstories.co.uk you will hopefully see what I mean.

Many thanks

I’m running the syntax theme on my site. I have a function in my child theme’s functions.php file that modifies the post titles. The problem I have is that it also modifies the post navigation links (shown as titles) at the bottom of the post.

I used doing_filter to check for one of the plugins so I can skip modifying it like so:

if(doing_filter('cmtt_tooltip_content_add')){ return $title; }

How do I check to see if my title function is operating on a navigation link so I can skip modifying it?

Why would the menu work fine using an Asus Browser with a Syntax child theme but not a copy of the same child theme at a different URL (different content)? Here is a link to the browser:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asus.browser&hl=en

This only happens with the Asus browser where Google Chrome loads these sites just fine on a MemoPad 7 with lollipop 5.0

Hi Kathryn,

Just curious, how do I include a tagline under the Site Title in my header? I recently updated the theme, and it momentarily included my tagline up there… However, before I knew it, it was gone again! How do I get it back up there?

Thanks,
Lance

How do I remove the “Leave a reply” section? It shows up at the bottom of every one of my posts. I have went through every section of my site to uncheck discussion / comment, etc. but it still remains.

Also, how do I simply remove the “You may use these HTML tags and attributes: <abbr title=””> <acronym title=””> <b>

Thanks,
Lance

Hi,

Is it possible to hide pages from Syntax’s default menu? I have a couple of landing pages that are appearing that I don’t want to show.

Thanks

Gary

Can the site name and menu at the top be static/like a frame so it’s always on screen?

First… great theme. thanks.

I’m assisting my mother publish an updated version of a field guide. I created a child theme and pulled elements of the style sheet in for additional customization. One of her wishes is that the Menu tab on the left side be text. I pulled the style toggle-nav::before over to the child theme and replaced content with the text. This works well and displays the text, however, I’d really love to be able to display the text vertically. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

I have a problem with the theme’s mobile layout. On iPhone 5 width, the right side of the website is blank, seems like as if something (an image or text) pushes the right margin out of the layout, but actually there’s nothing that could cause this. I looked up other websites with the same theme and all look the same.

Screenshots:

and here.

Please let me know if you have a workaround for this. Thanks!

Hi
I am building my site specifically for phone/tablets

I have made a child theme from Syntax. I couldn’t get my added css to function so I copied and pasted the whole Syntax style.css into my child theme style.css – after the ‘Customisation starts here’ line. I deleted extra comment lines and I commented out the ‘@ …’. I searched (my new style.css) for ‘url’ then added ‘../syntax’ to the path. I first tried all the suggestions I could find here in the forum to get over this problem – but none worked. This seems to be working.

I still have problems.

The customised menu, made in the site dashboard, shows on a desktop pc – but sometimes only works after you refresh the page.

I have enabled the menu in the footer (via the dashboard) and that always shows all the items in the menu.

On an iPad Air the sliding menu only slides after a refresh. It only shows the ‘Home’ item and not any of the items added in the customisation.
If you change the orientation of the device – the menu again won’t work until you refresh the page. It still only shows the ‘Home’ item. This is with the Safari browser.

On my Nexus 7 (Android 4.4.4) the menu doesn’t work at all with Firefox.

Unfortunately I can’t try Chrome as it refuses to access my home server and returns 404 even if I type in the IP address. (I suspect that it uses Google’s name service and ignores the local network setup)

On all the browsers the site adjusts very well to different orientations and screen sizes – it’s such a pity the menu doesn’t work.

Thanks for any help

I’m trying to use custom permalinks (https://marcellalves.com/%postname%/) to my blog, using the Syntax theme, but it’s breaking the direct links to posts and the links to comment or read a comment to a post. It works correctly with the default WordPress permalink (https://marcellalves.com/?p=123) though.

Hi!

I just installed Syntax and it’s working fine. But I have 2 problems:

1. The author is not shown. I just have 1 author in the blog, but I’ll probably add another one soon, so I need it to display who wrote the entry.

2. The blog’s in Spanish, but the “Leave comment” is not translated to “Deja un comentario”. I’m using the es_MX localization, so I just want to know how can change that string.

Thank you very much!

I am looking to alternate the entry background colors. I know how to do this by using:

.hentry:nth-child(2) {
  background-color: #eee;
}

This works however it’s obviously only the post itself. I would like the color to be 100% of the width of the site, not just the background of the post itself.

I can not quite figure out how to do this without changing the whole layout of the post and having it look funny. I have tried a few things but can not really get it working.

I am thinking it is not actually .hentry that I need to do this with, any suggestions?

Hello,

I’m testing mobile version (iOS 8) of my site – https://ouroboros.marconoris.com/ – and sometimes the width of the page don’t fit the screen. The same occurs testing media query in Chrome (Windows) with inspector: still white space at the right of the page. I removed all few custom css but still the same.

Here the screenshot.

Thanks ??

Hi,

I really like the theme and know how to create a child theme so I can change this.

Why is site description inside header.php placed inside HTML comment? If you remove the comment and allow it to be displayed it looks really good, there’s even .site-description selector in CSS file.

Any chance this will be updated in a future version? I don’t think it makes too much sense to create a child theme just for this.

Hi everybody.

First of all I thank all the Automattic team for your great releases.

What’s more? I have a question. Is it possible to make the home featured images size fixed?

I really like this theme, but I need to crop or resize every featured image.

Is there any tip?

Thanks!

Just noticed that Syntax comes with translations. However for the Dutch translation ‘nl’ is used for the locale of the po and mo files. This should be ‘nl_NL’ otherwise it will always show the English version.

Hi there,

I’ve got another question. I need a sidebar on the right side to make the plugin “side matter” for annotations work. I tried a few instructions but the sidebar doesn’t appear anywhere.

Is this possible anyhow?
Thanks for your help!

Hi
I would like to only have one menu – the lefthand sliding menu and as I have a static front page I would like to remove all footers

I can’t find a way to add the ‘Meta’ (Login etc,) widget to a custom menu.

Is this possible or am I doing things the wrong way round?

Thanks
David

Hi,

I wanted to ask, how I can change the Input of the left sidebar. I need only one page with a long long text with different chapters. I want the sidebar to be a menu, which is not switching between different sides, it should jump to special points in the Text. Just like the wikipediamenu.

The html-tag is simple with <div id="#chapter1"></div> and <a href="chapter1">, but I am not sure, how I can add it to the left sidebar. Any Ideas?

Thanks for your help

Y love this theme, I’ve said it already in my review. I write short stories and they tend to proliferate, and this is presents a problem with a fixed menu.

But then I found this article Jquery ul li ul slide menu for WordPress without external plugin 3 lines code. As a matter of fact, I haven’t used the Jquery bit. I’is enough to add the following code to your custom style.css

/* menu modifications
   --------------------------------------- */
   ul.menu > li.menu-item {
    display: block;
   }
   ul.sub-menu {
    display: none;
   }

and you obtain collapsible sub-menus. You can check it at a test site I’ve made cuentos.cavinionline.com

Hello

I’m trying to change the wording in the previous/next posts links.
I made a child theme, copied inc/template-tags.php to it and changed the text but the new text doesn’t appear.

Any ideas?

Hello there! I’m using Syntax on a site and have a problem with margins.
The site is https://www.veronicamertel.org
1- This site has been exported from Blogspot into WordPress.com and then from there into www.ads-software.com.
2- The first two posts display margins correctly. From the third until the very last one margins are non-existent: text is right next to the border.
3- If I create a new post, the margins are wrong!
I am familiar with CSS editing and looked in there, but couldn’t find exactly what needs to be changed.
Hope someone can help! Thanks indeed
Joaquin
