Hello
Thank you for the answer, but it is not like that for me. I normally use Chrome, and when I check on both Explorer and Firefox it still appears, the same with my phone where i’m not logged in either.

My icon does not look like yours, mine is orange. I don’t know if that changes anything.

(my website is mercrea.com)

Thanks a lot, John

Cheers,

Bob

Thanks for your prompt reply. I have already tried this without success. I am using the Wedge theme. I am using a block like ‘Client Testimonials’ which contains a number of columns. In these circumstances, I can’t find a column that represents the whole block so I have used the 3-bar menu that appears below the block. I take this to be a control for the whole block. Selecting ‘left’, ‘right’ or ‘center’ has no effect. The block always aligns left. I have tried setting the width to less than 100% but that does not help either.

Hi Carlos, thanks for the help.

When I enter the code in the custom CSS editor it works perfectly. I can adjust the image by changing the values and it instantly shows the effect in the preview screen. However, as soon as I set the image to Paralax the code has no effect on the image. It is always cropped exactly the same amount. I have tried changing the location of the background-paralax text in the text window but unless it is inside of the quotation marks with boldgrid-section then the paralax effect will not work. This makes me think that something with the paralax command is overriding the image setting and may be a problem with the source code for the paralax command. This is beyond me as I don’t know code and don’t have access to the boldgrid source code.

This is obviously very disappointing as I would like to have multiple pages with background images that are set to paralax. I also don’t want to give up this theme if it is a theme specific issue as I worked very hard to create this site using this theme. Please help and let me know if there is any other way to fix this.

Thanks you for your prompt reply, John-Paul. I did read that, however, it didn’t address the fact that in my other wordpress sites I have the ability to add a wide variety of widgets as well as upload and install third party widgets as well.

I want people to signup to the RSS feed and sign-up to receive an email when a new post is posted. There are several other WP Widgets including one from my adserver folks I would like to add.

How can I add and access the other wordpress and third party widgets available out there?

Hi Kyle,

I’m running the Monument theme. I’m not great with CSS but I can tell you that the background position is not defined like that within the text of that page. I have looked in the Style.css file and can’t find that line of code either. Can you tell me where I can look to find it or just how to fix it?

Thanks

Great. Thanks so much!

Yes I did this, but the add items are showing as new main menu items rather than in the drop down under the main menu I want it under. When I go to customize, the drop downs are under the main menu, but the website is not adjusting. Thx

Thanks so much for the tip!

Thanks for replying to my question! What I want to achieve is to create different pages that display relevant articles in a grid layout. So, on the menu would be an item, “Advocate.” The user clicks on that item and is taken to a page displaying only articles that have been tagged with the category Advocate. WordPress already does something like this, but the layout is quite ugly (in my opinion), and it utilizes the standard list layout.

Sort of, I noticed you chose to remove the map and reinstalled it. The problem I was having was when I wanted to move it from the left to the right, sort of like you did with the picture in reverse. The space was there, but it would not move and created a duplicate map right below instead. Also after the attempt the orange and blue boxes disappeared and I couldn’t move anything. I would reload and start over, but every time I added the map it would be on the left and not the right like I wanted. Also this was yesterday, today the orange and blue boxes are gone all together and I don’t know how to get them back.

Actually, it just started happening on all my browsers today and clearing the cache hasn’t fixed it. It’s very odd!

I created an empty page called search. Then I went to Customize->Widgets. It looks like I can select header or footer. I want the widget to be in the middle of the search page and I don’t want the search box on all of the pages, only the search page.

Hi thanks!,

Done that and now still getting this error. Has anyone else used boldgrid backup on Google Compute VM? the backup compatability page goes to a 404 so cannot ascertain if GPE is even supported! Thanks for any advice anyone can provide!

Hello Arnel,

Thank you very much for your reply. I’m reading the article you suggested and will make note of the instructions for removing that Meta section from my Posts and Posts Page. However, while waiting for an answer to my question, I looked around some more within the “Customizer” page, and found the solution on my own – and yes, it’s possible to remove the Meta section – the key was the fact that this is a Widget, and the reason I didn’t see this before was because I didn’t have the correct page in the preview panel while trying to customize the site!

So here’s how to do it (on the Wedge theme I’d setup, using Inspirations):

1. From your Dashboard, click on Customize, then select Active Site.

2. Under the Boldgrid menu on the left side, click Widgets.

3. Now Widgets will let you customize Widget Areas on your page. Those Widget Areas, however, are different depending on the page you have displayed in the preview panel on the right side. So in order to customize the Widgets on my Posts Page (which in my case was titled “Info”), I have to bring that page up in the preview panel. At that point the Customizer panel showed me that I can customize “Above Site Title”, “Footer Center”, and “Sidebar #1”. That’s what I needed! Once I click on Sidebar #1,  I can then remove and add all kinds of widgets, including the “Meta” one. Problem solved. 🙂

I then wanted to do something else, which is to remove Author name and Date from my Posts everywhere on the site, including the Posts Page. That I could not find how to do anywhere within the Customizer sections. I eventually had to go to the Advanced area and modify the CSS code with the two lines below, which I found on this page here:

https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/how-to-remove-author-and-date-information-from-your-wordpress-posts

.entry-meta .byline, .entry-meta .cat-links { display: none; }

.entry-meta .posted-on { display: none; }

That’s it. I can now post Articles, which I intend to keep “evergreen” on my pages, and not show dates or author name, and the articles and the page on which they are listed won’t show the Meta section either.

Hopefully all this will help someone else in the future.

Thank you very much for your help, time for me to get back to working on the site. 🙂

It is a Dell U2412M 24in diagonal monitor (20 by 12.5in width and height).  Resolution 1920 x 1200.  Please let me know if it is fixable.

I’m having the same problem with magnification of the background image in the Vacation theme. While I’m working in the Customizer on the dashboard, and toggle between device views, it looks fine, but when I use my smart phone or tablet to view, it doesn’t work and the photo is magnified. mymoolelo.com

Thank you for your answers.  I will look into making the changes and see what happens!
