sidebar and footer widgets

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi
    I wonder how can I add a widgets to sidebar as well as to footer which would appear at the same time on my front page (different type of widgets)?

    Can this be done on any page or only first (static) page?
    Thank you so much.
    This is my site:

    Hi!

    The Twenty Twelve theme only supports sidebar widgets unless you’re using the Front Page template. If you’re using the Front Page template, you could use either of the other two widget areas shown here:

    https://marinameshel.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php

    On the front page template, the sidebar widgets will not appear.

    Does that help to clarify?

    Thanks a lot. Yes,It does help.
    Would you know by chance if any themes support footer and sidebar widgets or two menus?

    And unrelated question: How to use CSS if I need to change font type on my menus/submenus?

    Would you know by chance if any themes support footer and sidebar widgets or two menus?

    Definitely! Both of the following themes support sidebar and footer menus. Twenty Fourteen also has two menu areas:

    https://hemingwayrewrittendemo.wordpress.com/

    Would either work for what you’re looking for?

    And unrelated question: How to use CSS if I need to change font type on my menus/submenus?

    You actually can do this without custom CSS following the method here:

    Can you give that a try?

    Let me know if you need any help!

  • Unknown's avatar

    Oh yes-you guys are really great!

    -but… when I applied my original CSS from 2012 theme (see below)
    nothing changed on my newest 2014 theme site.

    /* Set header link text color */

    site-title hgroup h1 a {

    color: black;

    }

    /* Set header link text color, hover */

    site-title hgroup h1 a:hover {

    color: green;

    }

    .nav-menu {

    font-weight: bold;

    }

    /* Set main menu background color, hover */

    .main-navigation a:hover {

    background-color: lavender;

    }

    .main-navigation div.nav-menu > ul, .main-navigation li ul li a {

    background-color: lavender;

    }

    Hi!

    The selectors (site-title hgroup h1 a) are going to be different for the Twenty Fourteen theme. Here’s the correct selectors for this theme:

    /* Set header link text color */
    .site-title a {
    	color: black;
    }
    
    /* Set header link text color, hover */
    .site-title a:hover {
    	color: green;
    }
    
    .nav-menu {
    	font-weight: bold;
    }
    
    /* Set main menu background color, hover */
    .site-navigation a:hover {
    	background-color: lavender;
    }
    
    .site-navigation div.nav-menu > ul, .main-navigation li ul li a {
    	background-color: lavender;
    }

    Can you give that a try and let me know if anything needs to be adjusted?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yes it works.Great!
    Now can I increase the fond size just for header and menus.
    And leaving pages titles and contests in different ford sizes.

    Right now they are changing together.

    Thank you so much for your continuous support.

    Hi there, add the following to increase the font size for the nav and site title.

    .site-title a {
        font-size: 110%;
    }
    .nav-menu {
        font-size: 110%;
    }

    As you will see, your navigation menu items go a little wacky, which is because of the length of some of your menu items. In general, it is good to keep menu labels shorter, so you may want to edit those. In particular these two:
    Historic and Geographical…
    Narrative (Story of…

    Dear happpiness engineers,
    Still some stupid ???:
    When I open my site as a user I see all editing options on the top and at the bottom of text as well as my profile, etc.
    How to make them disappear when the design is finalized?

    Many thanks as always.

  • Just log out of your dashboard and Edit buttons will disappear.

    Is it also possible to increase the fond size for a tagline?
    And to get rid of the search option on the menu?
    and in general why fond sizes on the menus/widgets are so small for this theme?
    Or maybe it’s a zoom option exist?
    Thank you so much

  • Current font size of the tagline is 12px. Add the following style and update your preferred font-size:

    .site-description {
    font-size: 12px;
    }

    This style hides the search toggle:

    .search-toggle {
    display: none;
    }

    Thank you so much for your continuous help and patient with me.

    And just in case – if one wants to change size on second menu items what would be the right CSS?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Gosh I ‘m so sorry to bother you so many times.
    But please take a look at my site CSS
    It did work before but does not now…

    /* Set main menu background color, hover */
    .site-navigation a:hover {
    background-color: lavender;
    }

    .site-navigation div.nav-menu > ul, .main-navigation li ul li a {
    background-color: lavender;
    }

  • I am not sure how the selectors have changed, but here are the selectors for primary menu:

    .primary-navigation .menu-first-container  a:hover{background-color:lavender;}
    
    .primary-navigation div.menu-first-container > ul,.main-navigation li ul li a{background-color:lavender;}

    The site-navigation selector belongs to the left hand side menu under the site description.
