I love my theme but I want to tweak it. What can I do?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I really want to retain the overall look of my current site but want desperately to make a few tweaks in it’s display and functionality. What can I do?

    I’d like to add:

    – A button to allow desktop users to scroll back to the top.

    – Add a sign up button on mobile

    – Remove a blank space on mobile homescreen

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

    Hi there,

    I’d like to add a button to allow desktop users to scroll back to the top.

    This isn’t something that can be done with CSS. CSS is for styling and positioning of existing elements in a web page and cannot be used to add functionality.

    Add a sign up button on mobile

    You can add the Follow Blog Widget to the sidebar of your site, which is accessible on all devices (desktop, tablet and phone) by clicking the Menu icon (grid of lines) at top right on any page of your site.

    Remove a blank space on mobile homescreen

    The recommended size for the header image is 1440px x 460px and yours is 1440px x 959px. If you resize and crop the image in your image editing program and then upload and use that image, the issue should go away.

    The other option would require some custom CSS, and that is part of the WordPress.com Premium plan. What we would do is to use a Media Query to set the background size to “contain” at screens smaller than 575px, which would get rid of the white space. This would be the CSS you would need.

    @media screen and (max-width: 575px) {
    	.header-background {
    		background-size: cover;
    	}
    }
