Hi. Is it possible to make some posts on sight theme display the image full width at featured slider? I’d like to post some pictures without the entry-summary text/title/category so it shows full width on the slider, about 290×975.

Also, can I set a “back to top” icon/link on the footer?

Thanks a lot

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,

Is it possible to make some posts on sight theme display the image full width at featured slider?

The Sight theme only supports full width images like you are describing, in the featured slider — where the title and other post information is displayed alongside the image.

When you add an image to a post, it will fill the width of the content area if it is 640px wide.

Also, can I set a “back to top” icon/link on the footer?

This elements isn’t supported by your theme I’m afraid. The only workaround would be to use a theme with a widget area in the footer, you could add this HTML text link to one of them:
```
<a href="#">Back to top of page</a>
```
If you are finding the Sight theme too restrictive, we have lots of great themes in our Theme Showcase:

Come back to me if you have any questions.

Thank you for the reply. About the featured slider, what I mean is to extend the image so it fills 100% of it, so there’s no title and post info alongside, only the thumbnail at it’s fullest width.

Regarding the footer, can I insert HTML code here?

.site-info:before {
content:
}

Thanks

Oh I see! You might be able to do that with CSS, by hiding the elements you don’t need (title, excerpt, categories etc). The best place to get advice about making CSS modifications is the CSS Customization forum:

Regarding the footer, can I insert HTML code here?

It is possible to insert text there, yes — but not the HTML tags needed to create the link.

Yes. I’ve tried hiding those elements but to no avail… Maybe a happiness engineer can help me, since the website is private. That’s why I marked it modlook and posted it on the CSS forum. I’ll just wait. Thanks anyhow :-)

Hi,

I did a bit of experimenting with the CSS. You can paste the following into the CSS module in your Customizer:
```
.featured-thumbnail img {
width: 100%;
}

.featured-thumbnail {
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
}

.featured-post-content {
display: none;
}
```
That will make the featured images full width and hide the other information.
