    Hi,

    I’m developing a child theme from the theme Delicate and because I have changed the design a lot I would like to remove the author credit that currently is saying ‘designed by NattyWP’ at the bottom right of all my pages. Are you allowed to do this? If yes, how do you do it?

    Would be grateful for any advice

    P.s On the support forum I came across an answer to the same question. It was posted by Frumph a year ago and it said

    There’s a span for it you can use a display: none in CSS to remove it.

    Or if you’re using a child theme (which you should be) do this:

    add_filter(‘comicpress_display_post_author’, ‘custom_remove_post_author’);

    function custom_remove_post_author() {
    return ”;
    }

    Is this answer still relevant, if yes where do you put this code? In your style sheet, functions.php, on the individual page.php’s… or where…?

  • Are you allowed to do this?

    Yes. The theme is released under GPL – which means that you cam modify all or any part of it.

    If yes, how do you do it?

    Try looking in the theme’s footer.php template file.

    Great! that worked : ) Thanks Esmi,

    One more thing, this might sound really silly but I can’t figure out how to change the letters in my menu (top nav) to small caps rather than capitals, I’ve looked under menu appearance but can’t find this anywhere, have you any idea how to do this?

    This will be controlled by your theme’s CSS. Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of work.

    Thanks Esmi but when I do this I only see the css I wrote myself and I really can’t find anything making the menu small caps (I wasn’t aware that you could control upper or lower case with css?)

    I also want to make the headings of my Widget red to distinguish them from the other text and I did find the css for this – I have now managed to change the font and style with this code but when I put in the code for the color red (see code below) it remains grey.

    Why is this do you know?

    code controling widgets

    h1 {font-size: 30px;}
    h2 {font-size: 1.6em; margin: 0;}
    h3 {font-size: 1.3em; padding: 0; margin: 0;}
    h1, h2, h3 { font-family:”Georgia”,Times,serif; line-height:30px; font-style:italic; color:#cc3300; }
    h2, h2 a { color:#4d4d4f; font-size:24px; font-weight:normal;}
    h1, h1 a, h1 a:hover, h1 a:visited, #headerimg .description {text-decoration: none;}
    h2, h2 a, h2 a:hover, h2 a:visited, h3, h3 a, h3 a:hover, h3 a:visited, #sidebar h2, #wp-calendar caption, cite {text-decoration: none;}

    (I wasn’t aware that you could control upper or lower case with css

    Thanks for that information Esmi,

    I had hoped to use both small case and upper case in my menu (like Start, Biography etc.) so… not sure what to do.

    Also if you look at my css through firebug you can see that I haven’t specified upper case only so I don’t know why it’s doing this. You will also see that I have specified the widget headings to be red but yet they remain grey…

    So I’m still confused
