Hello,

First of all, love the theme. I have 2 questions:

1. How do you change the background of the headline color, right above the menu buttons?
2. This might be tricky, but in responsive design, if for example someone is using a smartphone and all of the sidebar widgets are shifted down under the post. Is there a way to have the top sidebar widget show up above the post. The reason I ask is I hate the idea of having my AdWords ads buried way down beyond the post.

Thanks for the help!

@briankoe: Thanks for your appreciation.
1. You can go to “Appearance => Header” and then change the text color and save changes. For better color option inside theme options panel you can upgrade to Pro version http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-evolution-pro/
2. Yes this section is bit technical. So, you need to have little but of technical knowledge to make this happen.
For this, first you need to build child theme. You can download sample child theme from http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ and depending on the layout you choose we need to make changes. For example, if you have selected “Left Sidebar” or “Right Sidebar” layout from “Appearance => Theme Options => Layout Options”. Then, you need to copy header.php and index.php file from catch-evolution-pro theme directory to catch-evolution-pro-child theme directory. Then delete the following code from index.php
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
Then in header.php file you need to add the above code which you have remove from index.php file. You need to add it just above <div id="primary"> code.

Hi Sakin,

Thanks so much for the quick response. I’ll try out your second suggestion. As far as the first question, I meant to ask whether I could change the color of the background behind the headline/logo.

Btw, I’ll probably be upgrading. Great theme. 🙂

Hi Brian,

Oh sorry you mean the background color of header. Then you can change the color code in the following css and then add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#branding { background-color: #fff; }

Hi Sakin,

Another question for you: How do you limit the number of post excerpts on the home page?

Thanks!

[Sakin]

Hi Brian,

It’s bit confusing question. Do you mean to adjust the number of posts in homepage or no of words in excerpt content in post.

To excerpt limit: Go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Excerpt / More Tag Settings” and change the number of words there and save changes.

To limit the number of posts in homepage: Go to “Settings => Readings” and change the number for Blog pages show at most.

Regards,
Sakin

I meant the total number of posts. I was looking in the wrong place. Thanks again for the help!
