Penscratch 2 help: post pages choosing their own featured image

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi.

    I’ve just moved over to using Penscratch 2. None of my posts have a ‘featured image,’ but Penscratch 2 seems to be taking the first image it finds, which could be in the first paragraph, and using it between the headline and the first graf of the story.

    I kinda hate this. Is there a way to suppress this?

    Thanks,

    Keith.

    Hi Keith,

    Where featured images display on the Penscratch 2 theme may be managed at Customize > Content Options > Featured Images. To stop the selection and insertion of the first image in the post content as featured image, uncheck the box labeled “Automatically use first image in post” and save the change.

    Wow, thanks. I really appreciate that and I kinda can’t believe I didn’t already see that.

    Might you also know how I could suppress the link color of the site title? I’d like that to be permanently black.

    Thanks again!

    Keith.

  • Hi Keith,

    To change the link color for your theme, go to the Customizer and click on Colors and Backgrounds. Click the button that says Palettes.

    Click the red circle at the top, and use the color picker to change the color. That should change it for all links on the site.

    Noting the font on your site is not pure black, but rather the shade of grey with the hex code, #666666, in case you want it to exactly match the text color of the rest of the site.

    Thanks, man. But I should have been clearer. I want the only site title to either remain black or slate gray (#666666); the rest of the links in red are cool with me. I’m sure there’s a bit of CSS I could put in somewhere. I just don’t know where.

    Thanks again.

    Keith.

  • Ah ok, for that use either:

    .site-title a {
        color: #000;
    }

    or:

    .site-title a {
        color: #666;
    }
