• Hi, have been playing around with this theme a bit and it pretty much does what I want to, but I want to customise this, more specifically the date/author/archive section for each post on the homepage. I’ve been opening the files within the editor, but am not sure in which one I would be able to edit this.

    Reason for this is that I want to remove only the author and possibly replace the name of the archive with a picture based on the name of the archive.

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

  • Hey there,

    To hide only the author’s name, add below CSS to your website using Advanced CSS Editor plugin.

    .author{
        display:none;
      }

    For the second part, I am afraid I didn’t understand you. Can you please explain it?

    Hope you understand.

    That’s an easy fix, will try that. Thank you.

    As for the second part. Currently this theme shows an overview of all the posts. I wrote archive, but it seems badly translated, it’s the category. Instead of showing the category I want it to show a picture/icon based on the name of the category. I assume this is more difficult to implement.

    I have been looking a bit more into this, so I can explain it in somewhat more detail.

    Within the entry-header, within the entry-meta, the three fields which are shown are represented by posted-on (which is the date), byline (author v-card) and lastly the class cat-link. So an URL is filled in which ends with the category number.

    So it will look something like this:

    <span class="cat-link"
     <a href="https://www.example.com/?cat=38">Fruit</a>
    </span>

    What I would like to do is instead show a logo (in this example of fruit) with the link, so underneath the cat-link span I would it to automatically place an image based on the category number, so it would need to be something like:

    <span class="cat-link"
    <a href="https://www.fruit.com/">
    <img src="fruit.gif" width="188" height="32">
    </span>

    The number of categories used is fairly limited (about 15).

    I don’t know exactly which php file I should edit in order to achieve this.

    Hey there,

    Oblique doesn’t supports this customization, and as much as I’d love to help you with some custom code, it is beyond the support offered for our products which consists of bug fixing and documentation. However, we would recommend codeable for your customization needs : https://codeable.io

    Hope you understand.

    Alright, I understand and thank you for your response. I will try to see if I can implement this myself. Am I right that if I would like to implement something like this to do so in the oblique_posted_on() function?

    Side note: @themeislesupport After some brief conversation with the other moderators, please do not recommend https://codeable.io/ anymore in these forums. Use https://jobs.wordpress.net/ or https://directory.codepoet.com/ instead.

    The reason is that while the site may be fine and valid, it’s not quite open up to all takers. There is an application process for people to be able to reply and take those jobs. That’s sensible but it’s also less open than the two links I’ve posted.

    Please refer users to https://jobs.wordpress.net/ or https://directory.codepoet.com/ going forward.

    Hey @jdembowski,

    Thank you for letting me know. I’ll keep that in mind next time I recommend someone a service for WordPress customization.
