No, deactivations made no difference, except for Jetpack of course. When I deactivated that one ALL the custom menus appeared on ALL the secondary side panels, including the blog page.

But not when I bring a post to the front ‘static page’. It doesn’t show up unless there is a Featured Image. This feature is not helpful when it is so limiting since you cannot change the size of the featured image for various posts, center or resize it if its used on a page, or turn it off. This would be on my wish list for future updates.

[Glen Pavelich]

Is there a way to disable the need for the featured images, so that a post loop, for instance using Page Builder by SiteOrigin, will call in the content including images of a post without a featured image. Reliance on featured images does not always serve. I do a lot of municipal sites, and there often isn’t an image to go with say a public update, or it’s a very small image.

How can I remove the ‘home’ h2, entry-title without affected all the other entry-titles. Have tried a few css options, but haven’t been able to narrow it down.

Test site url is http://blainelake.ca/BL2017/

Thanks

Found it. It’s called Archive Content Layout for some reason.

On another note..Is there a way to set more options for the featured image size, and for image sizes for the single page/post layout?

Lucida Featured at 880×660 for example is too wide for smaller post images. I’d like to have them show as original size.

Thank you. With the “Custom Sidebars – Dynamic Widget Area Manager” I was able to create and assign a sidebar to the ‘before-content’ position. (Great Plugin).
So I have it on this page for you to see and edit so that it displays horizontally. Hopefully this will also then be responsive as well. I will be purchasing another pro template for another job, and will specifically need this option for that account as well.
See the three ‘before-content’ widgets here:

Thank you. I’m getting more clear on this now, and yes a plug-in to assign sidebars to specific pages is necessary and exactly what I needed.
The JetPack one is no longer being maintained and some of the ones I tried are difficult to use, or not tested on the latest WP, but this one is amazing and very powerful. You can chose the specific sidebar you want to assign to any page, post or position, and it’s very intuitive to use.

Further, in Lucida, I don’t see how to apply the ‘before-content’ to an individual page. The only option seems to have it apply globally by putting something in that sidebar. And for all the sidebar options available, the ability to apply them a page is indeed very limited to only the organization listed in theme options/layout picks.

For instance by choosing the ‘three column layout’ (secondary, content, primary) to appear on the home/blog page (my default) then the layout options for any other page will not replace the ‘secondary’ sidebar, only the primary sidebar.

And if I chose for a particular page just primary/content to attempt this, then no optional sidebar can be applied at all. Am I missing something here.

I moved this discussion to the template I purchased. https://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/horizontal-before-content-sidebar/
Disregard the additional question here, posted Mar 17.

Thank you.
Child theme applied.

Thank you – I realize now I asked this twice in the same way, but what I was after was whether or not there is a template with a a widget area (for ‘before content’) that will align 2 or 3 widgets in a horizontal row. The RockStar does have the option but if more than one widgets is added they display one after the other vertically.

[Glen Pavelich]

Is there a theme with a ‘horizontal’ widget area above or below the content? I see some themes have a widget area ‘BEFORE’ content, but I’m assuming this is a vertical sidebar, or does this in fact mean horizontal?

[Glen Pavelich]

Thank you – I will check it out before I purchase the preferred template for this job.

[Glen Pavelich]

Is there a template that you know of that has a horizontal widget area, say optional for below the header or in the content area?

[Glen Pavelich]

But I have a new question.

Every time I select ‘theme options’ by mistake it completely breaks any settings I have set under customize…. ie turning feature slider off, setting the layout to 3 columns, etc.

It would be best to take it right out of there since it doesn’t work anymore. If I set something in there it doesn’t stay clicked anyway, but in saving that selection, as I said above, it breaks the other settings back to defaults.

[Glen Pavelich]

OK – Fixed it – I see you have discontinued the theme options tab.

[Glen Pavelich]

Right header sidebar social widgets also disappeared.
Essentially – none of the theme options will stay clicked, and it seems corrupted because all but the active tabs are greyed out.

I had to add this to my child-style
to hide it until you can take a look

#slider-wrap img {
display: none;
}

[Glen Pavelich]

Ha! But replacing the header that way makes it non-responsive to devices.
Is there a simple trick to make a background image in the header responsive?

If not, (using appearance/theme options to assign the image)
how do I disable the header for the pages, so it only appears on the home page.
And is there a way to make a different header appear on the pages (other than the home page)?
