  hi,

  1. I am wanting to widen the “white” page/post section. The code I was given doesn’t work.

  2. Is it possible to put a menu or a couple of links in the top right side of the header image space? Or actually anywhere up there.

  3. Is it possible to have a line gap in a menu to have breaks between sections?

  4. I found a way to dictate which posts are displayed on the home page for another theme, and trying to modify it for candela which uses portfolio project types. Any suggestions?

  First I label posts I want on the home page with the “welcome” category, then all the others with the “blog” category.

  Then this css code ({ replace with “) to eliminate the categories I don’t want on the home page.

  (body.blog article.category-introduction “
  display: none;
  “)

  Thanks soooo much for your help!!

  Hi Janet,

  1. I am wanting to widen the “white” page/post section. The code I was given doesn’t work.

  The locations of the individual blocks in the second and third row on the main page are calculated and inserted directly into the HTML and adjust as the browser window window is narrowed or widened, and also for smaller devices such as tablets and phones, so there really isn’t a way to do this.

  2. Is it possible to put a menu or a couple of links in the top right side of the header image space? Or actually anywhere up there.

  I’m not seeing a way to do this give that the menu is hidden behind the menu toggle. Sometimes, if a theme has a visible sidebar or footer widget area, we can put something into a Text Widget and then reposition it, but give the footer widget area is also hidden behind a toggle, this again, isn’t possible.

  3. Is it possible to have a line gap in a menu to have breaks between sections?

  You can create a menu item, such as you have done with the periods (.) except use the following (without the space between the & and the n).
  & nbsp;
  You would then use this for the links in those menu items.

  which would then just refresh the page.

  Alternately you can specify a top margin using the unique menu item ids such as this (that puts a larger top margin on the item below the home link.

  #menu-item-12773 {
      margin-top: 20px;
  }

  You can find the unique menu IDs by viewing the source code and looking in the navigation section.

  4. I found a way to dictate which posts are displayed on the home page for another theme, and trying to modify it for candela which uses portfolio project types. Any suggestions?

  The Portfolio items are positioned by the theme, so if we hide them in some way, the remaining do not reflow and you would have blanks spots. Secondly, there isn’t a Portfolio Type or Tag class declared in the opening article HTML div, so what is done with posts cannot be done with Portfolio Types at this time.
