Archives link, alignment, blog date and title

Glad you like it!

1. Instead of having the Archive link in a side navigation bar to the right of my posts, I would like it as a link on the top menu bar (beside Home, Sample, etc…). Is this possible?

When creating a menu, there is a section on the left side you can use to add category links to the menu. If you want to add links to a taxonomy not included there, such as a year-based archive, you can instead use the Links section to add a link to that archive.

2. I would like the links in my top menu bar, as well as my blog entries, to be aligned to the center of the page, instead of where they are now (somewhat to the left).

The following CSS can center the menu items:

.menu-primary {
  text-align: center !important;
}
.menu-primary-items {
  float: none !important;
  display: inline-block !important;
}

You can copy and paste that code into the “Custom CSS” section in the Customizer (Appearance > Customize). Once added there, it should take affect right away.

3. How do I have the “published [date]” go under the blog post title?

Ignite has an option to hide the date in the Post Meta section in the Customizer, but there isn’t a way to put it below the title. If you’re comfortable using a child theme and editing a bit of HTML/PHP, I can point you in the right direction for this.

That was awesome, Ben! Thank you for your help! I’ve made the changes here: https://nadia.10may.net/ and I’m super excited to start blogging.

One nitpicky thing though: The center alignment of the menu worked great, is it possible to center-align my blog posts below as well?

Also, I would really appreciate help with figuring out how to put the date below the title. I am already using a child theme and although I don’t know much about PHP, I’m pretty comfortable with HTML. Thank you!

Okay, let’s do it then ??

The posts can be centered with the following CSS:

.main {
  margin: 0 auto !important;
  float: none !important;
}

For moving the date, what you want to do first is copy the content.php file from Ignite into your child theme. Now, the content.php file in your child theme will be loaded instead and you can safely make changes.

Then move the ‘entry-header’ and ‘excerpt-header’ below their respective featured images (Line 9 and Line 80).

Thank you!

You’re welcome ??
