Hi! The ability to upload videos isn’t specific to the Pictorico theme — it’s a part of WordPress itself. Although this guide is a bit old, it has a couple solutions that might get you headed in the right direction:

If you have other questions about that, the best place for help is the How-To and Troubleshooting forum. I hope this helps! ??

@howtoaddict — There isn’t a setting for this, so if you’d like to remove it you can change the parameter as Jeremy mentioned here:

The Goran theme doesn’t have any built-in way to switch from its red color to another color, so your best bet is to make the color changes with CSS. It doesn’t necessarily have to be too complicated, though. Here’s how I’d approach it:

You can use the tips like How to Find Your Theme’s CSS to look up each piece of the theme that’s currently red. For example, when I inspect the header area in Goran I see that the red color is defined here:

.site-header {
background: #b23d3c;
color: #fff;
}

You can search the Goran style.css file to find all the CSS declarations with that #b23d3c red color. Then, you can create custom CSS to replace them with the green color you want, like this:

.site-header {
background: #67b23c;
}

I’d recommend using a custom CSS plugin (like the Custom CSS module in Jetpack) to add that as custom CSS to the theme.

You can keep doing that until you’ve replaced all the red in the theme with the green color you want to use. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. ??

Hi Ellisah,

Do you have a link to your site? I’d be happy to take a look at the submenu to see what’s going on there.

Hi! I just checked https://8bitspodcast.com/ and I see thumbnails for all your posts now: https://cloudup.com/c-LNiZt6wFV

Are those thumbnails working the way you expected?

Since that site is hosted at WordPress.com (rather than a self-hosted WordPress site) you are welcome to contact WordPress.com support directly with any other questions about the site and theme. ??

Hi there,

You can set up the front page featured pages in your site’s customizer. Once you’ve published the pages you want to feature, head to Appearance > Customize > Theme Options. At the bottom of the theme options you’ll see three drop-downs where you can choose the front page featured pages for your site.

Please let me know how that goes! ??

Hi Matthew,

The Edin theme hides the tagline in its CSS, so you could use a CSS editor (like the Custom CSS module in Jetpack) to modify the theme’s CSS.

This CSS should do the trick:

.site-description {
display: block;
}

Let me know if that works for you!

You can find documentation for the theme at WordPress.com here: https://wordpress.com/themes/edin

Hi Martyn,

The Goran theme is designed to display a custom header image – or a page’s featured image – as a background image visible behind your static pages’ content. The custom header won’t appear on your posts page, as it wouldn’t be able to stretch to cover all the posts on the posts page. That’s an aesthetic decision made by the theme designer.

Hi there,

Do you mean the large featured image on the Edin front page template? That image is designed to change height depending on the front page’s content, but if you’d like to set a fixed height for it you can use this CSS declaration:

.hero.with-featured-image {
height: 422px;
}

If you’re making CSS changes to the theme, I’d recommend using a plugin that adds custom CSS (like the Jetpack plugin) rather than making direct edits to the theme’s CSS.

Please let me know if that works for you!

Yep, sorry I wasn’t clearer before. I don’t mean there’s a problem with the plugins, just that they might not be created to work with a theme like P2. You can clarify that with the plugin authors, and that’d also be the best way to find out if they have any plans to add support for it. The exact reasons why a particular plugin doesn’t work with the P2 theme would depend on how that plugin is designed.

Hi! I see we posted our replies at about the same time, so I just saw your comment about editing the functions.php and CSS files. I’d highly recommend creating a child theme instead of directly editing the theme files — otherwise your changes will be lost the next time the theme is updated.

You can find a guide for creating Child Themes here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

Hi there,

Changing the size of the thumbnails in the Pictorico theme isn’t a trivial thing, because of how the theme crops and resizes the images. However, it also isn’t impossible. ?? The short version is that you’d be best off creating a child theme with its own functions.php file that defines a different thumbnail image size, of your choice.

For more detail, I’d recommend reading through designsimply’s overview of what’s needed for changing the featured image sizes in Pictorico here:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/change-default-size-of-featured-image?replies=2#post-5969578

Sure thing! That’s actually a feature of Jetpack’s sharing module. To control where the Jetpack sharing buttons appear, you can head to Settings > Sharing in your dashboard. Next to “Show buttons on” you can check the box next to “Projects” to have them appear on your portfolio projects.

You can also contact the Jetpack team for more help with those features here: https://jetpack.me/support/

Hi there,

The built-in custom fonts feature you saw on WordPress.com isn’t a part of WordPress itself, so you’ll need to use another method to add your own fonts to your theme. In addition to what @fevered recommended, I’d suggest looking at the Playing with Fonts guide in the www.ads-software.com Codex for more details about your options.

You mentioned that you uninstalled and reinstalled the P2 theme. When you uninstalled it, were you able to check for and remove all instances of the P2 theme manually (for example, via FTP) before you reinstalled it? If any additional instances of the theme are still installed there, they could still be interfering after you reinstall it.
