• Hello!
    I was recently previewing this theme and I noticed that the color of the titles are light at default but when I hover over them they become dark.
    Is it possible for the colors to be dark all the time (because at default the black color looks more grey then dark, unless you try to click on the titles).

    I also noticed that the credit text under the featured image is not there when I changed to the Tracks theme, but they appear under the images in the posts.
    Is it possible to add a featured image credit text using the php files or css codes? ??

    For the first one, may be removing opacity property should work.

    Thanks for choosing Tracks!

    The post titles can be modified to use the darker hover color with the following CSS:

    .excerpt-title a,
    .excerpt-title a:link,
    .excerpt-title a:visited {
      color: #222;
    }

    Copy & paste the code above into the “Custom CSS” section in the Customizer (Appearance > Customize), and it should take affect right away.

    As for showing the credit text, this could be done by modifying the template file with a child theme. Are you comfortable with PHP and using child themes?

    So there is no plugins or way to edit the php files that already exicist? I managed to do so with my current theme ??

    <?php echo get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt; ?>
    can I use this in the php file?

    You have written something earlier here

    Well I try to remove opacity but it doesn’t work and that CSS code doesn’t make any difference at all :-/

    I tried using this:
    .site-header .site-title {
    opacity: 1;
    }

    and it worked and now it is totally black and not opaque.

    Tracks’ files can be edited directly with PHP, but you shouldn’t edit any themes PHP files because you will use all of your changes when you update the theme. This is why using a child theme is preferred.

    The image credit link feature referenced in that thread has since been removed.

    You said you wanted the titles to be dark like when they are hovered over – the CSS I shared makes the post titles darker before being hovered over. The CSS you shared here would make the site title white, and thus lighter not darker. Have you modified your theme already with CSS to change the colors?

    Thank you again for the answer!

    Everything works fine now, but I still want the image caption

    I want the image credit to appear under the photo and above singler.

    How can I do that when I am not familiar with child theme? ??
    Cause the image caption appears below photos in the posts but not the featured image

    Okay cool, glad it’s working ??

    Adding the image credit with a child theme will be a bit tricky. Is it necessary that the credit shows directly below the image? Or, would it be acceptable to add the credit at the end of the post instead? This could be done easily without modifying any code.

    Well to be safe the credit should be under the featured image somehow. This is because of copyright laws and I can be sued if it is not shown easily or correctly.

    Is it possible to have it near or under the image? I think at the bottom will be not so good because people won’t notice it :/
    If it is impossible I am not sure if I can keep this theme, which I love!

    I put together a child theme that will add an image credit below the Featured Image on Post pages. The image credit will come from the image’s “alt” text, so just add the alt text to the Featured Image and it will show automatically.

    Here’s the child theme download link:

    Click here to download child theme

    And here are the steps for activating the child theme:

    1. Visit your site’s dashboard
    2. Go to the Appearance menu
    3. Click on the “Add New” button at the top of the page
    4. Click on the “Upload Theme” button at the top of the page
    5. Click on the “Choose File” button
    6. Select the tracks-child.zip file you downloaded from this email
    7. Click “Install Now”
    8. Once the page reloads, click the blue “activate” link

    Don’t be alarmed if the site looks different with the child theme active. This is just because the Customizer settings need to be copied over. You can use the Customizer Export/Import plugin to quickly copy your settings from the Tracks theme to the Tracks Child theme.
