I have a few issues and requests regarding my Magazine theme.

#1 is there anyway to completely remove the  Top menu? #2) is there anyway to make all thumbnails one size? #3)  is there anyways to make a default “No Picture Available” thumbnail for articles that do not have an image posted or Featured Image? #4) what is the best way to make the logo larger than the default 30 height magazine logo without having the Header Navigation shift? I need a larger logo centered in the header #5) is there a simple way to make the dark footer background be the background for the header? Thank you!

    Hi!

    1) The Top Menu cannot be removed because the theme uses the top logo to menu as 1 background image. You can always decide what to show in the TOP menu from Appearance > Menus. You can also show Google Link Ads in Top Menu by editing the Menu code in header.php.  I can send details if you want.

    2) What do you mean by Thumbnails 1 size? The complete site cannot use 1 size as sidebar has got smaller thumbnails. Then Home Page has got different size of thumbnails. More Thumbnail of different sizes are used in Inner Post Top and Related Stories etc. Changing all this means changing lot of things in the design.

    3). When there is no picture available, the posts move to the left covering no picture space. Showing a No Picture Thumbnail is simply un-professional for a site. Instead the posts should move to the left covering that entire space. if you want to show no picture, that requires customisation as wherever thumbnails are called, a no picture else condition needs to be added.

    4) You can upload the logo from backend of your size. However, you cannot change the height of that block because as i said in point 1, it is a background image of fixed height. You can adjust margin from top to left of logo from backend to make it position in center. If you want a larger logo centered in header, you need to do a bit of customization

    GO to CSS > header.css and edit #logo a img

    You can add here margin-left: 333px; or as per your requirement to make it position in the center. You can also do this from backend by adjusting left position of the logo.

    5) For Point 5. You can try different skins. However, changing footer background color or header background color is not available through backend. It can be done.. but requires customization.

     

    I hope this solves all your queries. Please do reply to this or be free to submit any further questions you might have.

    Thank you
