Hi there,

Yes it is possible, however keep in mind that it is a lengthy process and involves using a lot of different files.

I cannot sit here and give a step by step how-to, this is something you will need to research and accomplish on your own. Sorry but I do not have time for that at the moment.

One suggestion is to use the Foundation Docs to learn what Foundation can do.

Hi there,

I do apologize, I have been super busy at work and haven’t had time for much. I also did get your email.

Yes it is possible to change the position of the social memu, however it is very complicated. The call to the social menu is located in the footer.php file and it looks like this:

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'social_menu' ); ?>

you would have to copy this, then delete it from footer.php then open up header.php and paste the code where you want it to appear.

Keep in mind it is not recommended that you alter theme files. You should do this using a child theme, so when updates come around you are not having to make those changes all the time.

Again, please forgive me for the very late reply. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for using WP-Forge, it’s greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

If you look at the parent stylesheet it states this: Foundation 6.2.3…I have no idea what version 99…that maybe something that a previous developer did or added? There is no version 99 of WP-Forge. Maybe they changed the number to keep the notice of updates from popping up, this is possible. I have seen this trick used numerous times.

WP-Forge has followed the versioning of Foundation since 5.2.2.2. Like I said all I see in the parent stylesheet is: “Foundation 6.2.3” and the date of “2016” in the child style sheet. So I would take this as the files have not been updated since then.

As per your question of being able to apply the latest version of WP-Forge to the site yes you can BUT you have to keep in mind there were a lot of changes made to Foundation since 6.2.3 version, which was released in 6-25-2016. You may want to test the waters on a demo site and see what will happen if you apply the latest version. Honestly I think the last version used on that site is 6.2.3.

Sorry I can’t be anymore help. What I would do is copy the site to a demo server or local server and then add the actual 6.2.3 copy and see what happens. If everything seems fine then I’d go ahead and apply the latest version and make the necessary changes. Again, I would tread lightly because the changes between the two are very significant.

Honestly I would just leave it the way it is, but I would def check and see if the 6.2.3 version is the last version used.

Hi there,

Hey there sorry for the long delay, just been super busy with other stuff.

Is there a screenshot you can show me or a ink that I can look at that shows what you are speaking about?

Send it via the contact form on my site: https://themeawesome.com/contact/

thanks and again I apologize for the delay.

Hi there,

Well I do hope you do try my theme. Not sure what you mean by the following

hopefully menu can be moved to the right.

Hi there again sorry for the delay, my actual job takes up a lot of my time.

I understand what you are trying to do now. If you want to set the featured image to a larger size, the way to do that is to create a new post thumb size in your functions.php file. You can learn how to do that here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Post_Thumbnails.

In WP-Forge, the full width thumbnail is set like this: add_image_size('full-width-thumb', 1200, 9999 ); – This is basically saying the full width thumb needs to be 1200px wide and the height can be whatever it needs to be to make that happen. And it’s called in post format files, i.e. content.php or content-home.php like this: the_post_thumbnail('full-width-thumb'); You will have to look in all the files to find where this is is added and then copy all those files over to your child theme so they are not overwritten on an update.

In your case you could something like this: add_image_size('<strong>larger</strong>-width-thumb',1287,300 ); (notice how I changed “full” to “larger” and then you would replace the_post_thumbnail('full-width-thumb'); with this the_post_thumbnail('larger-width-thumb'); – you can name your new image size whatever you want, entirely up to you just make sure to call it properly.

Now in regards to the featured image being linked all over the place, this function is located in functions.php. You can find this by searching for “// Link all post thumbnals to the post permalink” (yeah spelled thumbnails incorrectly, its fixed in the update) – This function is what adds the link to all post thumbnails, even in single post view.

You can remove this filter by applying this remove_filter('post_thumbnail_html','wpforge_link_postthumb',10,3); in your child themes function file. This will of course remove the link applied to all featured images.

And if you want to have the post/page link still applied to the featured image in blog view you can simply follow this: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail_url – this will show you how to add the permalink to featured images in blog view.

Hope this helps.

Hey there,

Sorry for the long delay in responding. I didn’t see this email until now. So very sorry.

The featured image for a regular page is 800 pixels wide with unlimited height. A full width page featured image is 1200 pixels wide, also with unlimited height.

I’m not really sure what you’re asking, if there isn’t a featured image set on a page, then it wont show and there will also be no link.

Also if you want to set the image to 100% width, then I would use the Full-Width | No Sidebars page template.

Again not sure what your asking, so if you could clarify a little bit more that would be helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for the review…and yes working on the 6.5.1 update. Coming soon to both themes ??

Just uploaded the update. You should see it available here shortly.

Please let me know how it goes. Thanks again.

Hi there,

Ah yes I made some other changes to content-footer.php – sorry about that.

I am just going to push out a quick update so you and everyone else can get the changes that I made and also to ensure that the necessary changes are in place.

Gimme a few minutes and you should see an update.

Hi there,

Yes I have figured out what happened. Seems I forgot to wrap a div around that particular area.

Here is the fix:

open up footer.php and find the following (lines 10 and 11):

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'footer' ); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'social_menu' ); ?>

and change it to this:

<div class="grid-x grid-padding-x">
    <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'footer' ); ?>
    <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'social_menu' ); ?>
 </div><!-- grid-x grid-padding-x -->

This should correct the issue. I will be pushing out an update to correct this but I do have a few things I am tweaking as well.

So in the meantime this should work.

Please let me know how it goes for you. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay. Yes I see what you mean. Let me take a look and see about correcting that issue for you.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, it’s greatly appreciated.

I’ll get back with what I find.

Thanks again.
