Questions to modify Theme

  • I have few questions on modyfying the theme:
    1. I’m unable to add excerpts and tags to my content pieces. How to do that? Is there a way to add custom excerpts?
    2. Is there a way to add ‘read more’ along with the excerpts and make it clickable?
    3. I removed the category title through custom css. How can I add a divider line between the content and the menu like it appears on the homepage?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Would appreciate any help on this thread. Still awaiting an answer for the questions above.

    Hi there,

    I’m unable to add excerpts and tags to my content pieces. How to do that? Is there a way to add custom excerpts?

    To clarify, in the editor (when you are creating blog posts) you do not see a way to add excerpts and/or tags? If so that sounds like an issue with your WordPress installation and not the theme itself. You would be best able to find help for that issue here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

    Is there a way to add ‘read more’ along with the excerpts and make it clickable?

    The only way to do this would be to modify the source code of the theme to add this functionality, which is outside of our ability to support. You may ask this question at the forum I linked to above and get help from the coding experts there.

    I removed the category title through custom css. How can I add a divider line between the content and the menu like it appears on the homepage?

    Can you clarify which pages on your site you are trying to display this border on? I’m not sure what pages you removed the category title from so if you can share a link to one or two of those it will help us to take a closer look, thanks

    Hello Jerry,
    Thanks for your response. I’m trying to add the line to all the pages except for about me as it is already present there.

    If you want the heavy line on every page, you may need to add it to every page, and then take away the extra border from the about page. Something like this could work.

    div#primary {
    border-top: 3px solid black;
}

.page .page {
    border-top: none;
}

    Also, I’d recommend this tutorial if you haven’t seen it already. This is how we find these settings, and it will help you with fine-tuning:

    Hoping this helps!

    Hello! Thanks for your response. However these are not individual pages but portfolio categories.

    Hello there,

    To check, are you referring to a page like this here: https://padmavatigopalan.com/project-type/portfolio/

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    I have the option to add manual excerpts, which I did. However, it is not showing up.
