  Two questions:
  1. I love the secondary menu which appears with the black background in Oxygen theme in static pages but I want to read my posts without this secondary menu, which is just underneath the Primary Menu. Is it possible?

  2. Does the Oxygen theme support types of post formats?

  Thank you in advance!

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

  1. Literally, no (except if you had the Custom Design upgrade).
  What you can do is edit that menu and uncheck the option “Secondary Menu”, then add a Custom Menu widget, set it to display that menu, and set its Visibility settings so it’s hidden on post pages. But in that case the menu will show as a bulleted list with no black bg.
  A farfetched solution would be to simulate the appearance of the secondary menu using elaborate coding in a Text widget (then set its visibility settings the same way).

  2. No. If it did, you would see the option in the post editor.

  1. Thank you very much for your answer. Yes, I have the Custom Design Upgrade. The problem is that, still now, I can not use it. I do not know the codex and I am afraid to make changes!
  You are right! The Custom Menu widget has not the black background, which is very characteristic as Secondary Menu of this theme. And, yes, this elaborate coding is a problem…

  2. As a user of Oxygen theme I would like to use the full width of the layout in each post. I know that there is this option in “Pages attributes” but what happens in posts? How can I use the main column width which is 940 pixels?

  You’re welcome.
  If you have the upgrade, you can change almost everything!
  To remove the sidebars and make the content full width on the single post view, go to Appearance > Customize > CSS, delete the welcome message, paste the following and click save:

  .single-post #secondary, .single-post #tertiary {
      display: none;
  }
  .single-post #content {
      margin: 0;
  }

  Note: in the future make sure you post such questions in the CSS forum, not the Support forum.
