Hi Mehmet,

When I allow comments on a blog page, how can I get the comments form to appear below the tags icon but above the Shareaholic share icons. (See same page noted in my Jan 28 post above.)

Thanks,
Gary

[CrocusReview]

That worked! Thanks again, Mehmet. – Gary

Hmm… This did not work.

Also, I went to Appearance > Customize > Colors and changed Link Color, Link Hover Color and Menu Active color to #003399. This works for anchor text I add to the body of pages (see http://crocusreview.com/crocus-review-is-coming-soon/) and for the active header in the top nav menu, but it does not change the default appearance of links in post headlines, entry meta, “Continue Reading” links, headlines of posts on Archive pages, etc.

Hmm, this customization did not work. I think a different approach might actually be better…

Can you show me how to make the category name that appears after the arrow in the category archive page headline to be the same size and color as “Post Category” in the headline?

Sample page: http://crocusreview.com/category/life/

Also, can you show me how to increase the size of the individual post headlines on category archive pages like this?

Thanks,

Gary

Hi Mehmet,

I’m sorry for the confusion. Instead of this change, please see my second message (January 19) above.

Thanks,

Gary

[CrocusReview]

That works! Thank you.

[CrocusReview]

Thanks.

It looks like this is the part of that file that needs to be changed. Can you show me how to change this coding to get the effect I mentioned above? (Sorry, I don’t have much experience with such things.)

Gary

Please disregard the above message.

Instead, I’d like all anchor text on my site (including linked article titles and underlined anchor text in meta entry line) to have no background color upon hover, but instead have the text change color from default color to #003399 on hover.

Also, if easily accomplished, how can I have anchor text of links I place in the body of my articles indicated with a dotted underline (like anchor text in the meta entry lines) and then have the text color change to #003399 with mouse-over/hover?

Thanks,

Gary

[CrocusReview]

This works. Thanks!

Sure, here’s that page:
http://crocusreview.com/tao-the-path-to-happiness/

I’d like to change the appearance of all block quotes on my site so they have these features:

1. Have a quote mark image appear both before (top/left) and after (bottom right) the quoted text.
2. Have the quote text appear in Georgia italic font. (I haven’t decided on font size yet).
3. Change the color of the quote marks and citation line from light gray to something like #666699 or a faded version of this color.

Hope you can help. Thanks.
Gary

[CrocusReview]

That did it!
Thanks, Ahmet.

Hmm.. this didn’t affect the appearance of my blockquote.

I don’t know if this makes any difference, but I already have this custom css code in the Theme Options > Style > Custom CSS box to modify the spacing below my blockquote, which works fine:

blockquote { margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; }

Gary

P.S. I tried this custom css code for the single post page, but it did not help:

body.single article .entry-title {
margin-bottom: 0; text-align: left; font-size: 2em;
}

Gary

[CrocusReview]

Thanks, Ahmet!

This worked perfectly for the blog category page: http://crocusreview.com/posts/

but it did not change the single post page:

http://crocusreview.com/tao-the-path-to-happiness/

How can I get the same spacing effect on the single post page?

Thanks,

Gary

How can I change the font of the by-line (that includes author, post date, etc.) on blog posts to Open Sans font?

I tried adding this to my custom css field, but nothing changed:

#secondary h3.widget-title { font-family: “Open Sans”; }

Also, how can I change the alignment of the by-line from centered to left-margin?

Thanks,

Gary

[CrocusReview]

Thanks! That coding for the headline sizes worked great.

How do I left-align headlines (rather than the default setting of centered)?

Gary

[CrocusReview]

Hi Ahmet,

I have three related questions about headlines…

1) I, too, am experimenting with headline sizes. I tried pasting the custom css code you recommended above…

h1.entry-title { font-size. 2.4em; }

…into the box at Theme Options > Style > Custom CSS on my WP dashboard, but I didn’t see any change to the size of my blog post headlines when changing 2.4em to larger or smaller values. What might I be doing wrong?

2) Also, I would like blog post headlines on my main Recent Posts page to be the same size as headlines on individual blog pages. For example, I’d like the headlines on these two pages to be the same size:

http://crocusreview.com/posts/
http://crocusreview.com/day-one-below-zero/

How do I do that?

3) Finally, if I have a long headline that requires two lines, I’d like the lines to be aligned to the left margin (not centered like on http://crocusreview.com/day-one-below-zero/).

How do I do that?

Thanks,

Gary
