  2 questions about changing Motif Theme:

  1. Any way to make the home page photos a rolling picture slideshow and still be the size and look of the static featured image?

  2. Can Social Media Buttons be added to the top right header instead of in text overlay on top of the home page photo?

  All help and improvement suggestions are greatly appreciated!

  Hi there,

  1. Any way to make the home page photos a rolling picture slideshow and still be the size and look of the static featured image?

  Not on Motif, it is a static featured image, not a featured post slider. This is not something that can be added with CSS.

  There are currently 23 free themes here with post sliders and another 39 Premium Themes with post sliders.

  2. Can Social Media Buttons be added to the top right header instead of in text overlay on top of the home page photo?

  What you would have to do is to put those linked images into a text widget in one of the footer widget areas and then move that widget up and into the header area. The following is a sample. I moved your Search by Topic or Cuisine widget and moved it up and to the right of the header image.

  #page {
      position: relative;
  }
  #categories-4 {
      background: none;
      position: absolute;
      top: 0;
      right: 0;
  }

  After adding the text widget, you have to inspect that widget using the inspector in your browser and get the unique ID selector for it, which would look something like text-3

  You would then replace categories-4 in the above code with that text widget ID so that it would look like this:

  #text-3
