editing my posts Twenty Eleven child theme

    Hi all, my blog is up and i’m just tweaking last bits and pieces. I love the minimal look so that’s what I’m trying to achieve.

    This is my blog home page
    and this is the single post entry page

    I’ve widen the one column page and even though i’m happy, I would like to reduce the writing area and have it remain in center of page. How do I do this on my child theme?

    Could you please advise me on how to hide all these from readers:
    1. the date of posting
    2. the comment bubble
    3. where it is posted (even though I do categorize the posts anyway)
    4. This->”This entry was posted in all, Diary by. Bookmark the permalink” – which appears at the bottom of single post entry page.

    Lastly for now, how to replace ‘Leave a reply’ with ‘add comments’?

    Thank you so much for your time.

  • Hey Sweet Peas!

    Alittle CSS should fix this up.

    The Leave a reply to Add Comments would be some PHP editing in the comments.php file I believe.

    thanks Eric. Everything I wanted to hide now ALL HIDDEN ??

    but the shrinkage didn’t work ?? do you know which other CSS i could use?

    Hey Sweet Peas,

    The content is shrunk…..down to it looks like 75 px. Looks gross that tiny. Don’t use width but use margin: 0 15%.

    This way, it stays center and also will keep the theme responsive.

    If you look here https://www.willsheloveparis.com/wp-content/themes/2011-baby-version/style.css

    You have a
    /* content area */
    .one-column #content {
    width: 75px;
    }

    Change that too
    /* content area */
    .one-column #content {
    margin: 0 15%;
    }

    EDIT: Just changed to 800px now on the site. Change width:800px to margin: 0 15%;

    Also, you have php in your css file that you should remove.

    Hi Erik,

    hehe the 75px was me being an idiot ??

    i’ve fixed it according to what you said
    margin 0 15% but i want the content to become even smaller, how do i do this?

    also i saw what you meant by php in the css, I found this tip on some tuts website because i wanted to get rid off ‘recent posts’ that had been on every single page of the blog, having used ‘showcase templates’ for all my pages. So if i get rid off the php, what css should i replace it with?

    If you want the content to be smaller, just increase 15% to something higher ??

    Never head of PHP in a .css file. I don’t even think php runs in a php file. I could be wrong though but that sounds like something that shouldn’t happen!

    Looks like instead of having php, just put:

    .recent-posts {
    display:none;
    }
