I am currently using this theme. I really like it. However, my social icons cannot display in the header. It isn’t an option. Why is the example you are using showing them in the header. I would love to be able to move them to the header but the only options are sidebar, footer 1, footer 2, & footer 3. It is not showing there is an update available if this is a recent change. Thanks.

Hello, Thank you for such a useful set of examples. I have tried your Question 12 : How to change blog page posts content font styling. This does change the styling of the font for blogs but it also changes the styling everywhere that uses entry-content.
Is to possible to restrict the change to only the content of blogs?
I also have a supplementary question. How do I make use of a google font e.g. Itim for blog content when the font is not included in the Dara Theme?

Thank you so much for this post, it has helped me greatly. However, I do have a few questions.
I was wondering how I can change the color of the “Older Posts” and “Follow” buttons at the bottom of my site.
For reference, my website is: http://www.satinrussell.com
Also, I changed the color of my category tags on the main page, but I noticed that when I click on an actual blog post, the categories revert back to the original color. How can I change this so that it stays the same from main page to post page?
For reference:
Here is the the main page showing #317d93 font color for categories: https://satinrussell.com/blog/
And here is a post page example that shows the original font color for categories: https://satinrussell.com/2017/11/17/author-events-part-three/

——————————————————————————————–
This is the html code for the page Paintwork
Inside paintworks
[gallery ids="239,240,241,242" type="columns" link="file"]
When the frame meets the glaze they create lines effect and geometries that give life and harmonies to your space.
In the photo you can see the frame made up of extruded polystyrene enriched by paintworks and glazed pearlescent or geometric lines with harmonious paintworks.
Outside paintworks
[gallery ids="244,245,246" type="columns" link="file"]
Enhance the characteristics of a house is the goal of a study of lines and colours. In these tre exemples you can see how the various colours, lines and personality of the house are harmonized and highlighted; creating a pleseant diversity.
———————————————————————————————
If you take a look at the home page you’ll see that the color #FFFAF0 is on the background of all the page, meanwhile in the Paintwork page is only on the frame while behind the text the background is still white.

LikeLike
OK, I discovered something. When I came home I tried my site on my wife’s computer with and without your code, and you are right – it does work! Upon further experimenting I discovered that when I narrow the browser, there comes a point where the sidebar reverts to its original size. If I keep narrowing the browser, the sidebar snaps to the bottom. That explains why I didn’t see any difference at first. I am working on a notebook computer, and I had the browser widow in that size where the sidebar stays its original size. If I widen it, the sidebar narrows as you said.
This is all far beyond my understanding of CSS. Perhaps I should let well enough alone. But if you can think of a way to keep the sidebar *always* narrow, that would be ideal.
Thanks again for your wonderful help!

2.designed a solution to the CTA (although being able to place a text area on the HOME page below the 3 Featured boxes would still be useful)
3. My hottest question today is how to modify the CSS to make all and permanantly color #007399.

Hello and thank you for this article! It is extremely helpful!
I still need help changing the “Continue Reading…” link at the end of excerpts, links in the widgets in the sidebar (such as the tag cloud), and the link hover color of a title. Also, in a post, the same turquoise in the categories list above the title.
Could you help with that? My site is not live yet but here is a preview link that I hope you can view:

Hi there. I don’t think there’s enough difference in the color of all the copy and a word or phrase that is a link. When you hover over the words they change to a teal color but I’d like them to have more of a contrast without hovering…. you almost can’t see that they’re a link. Suggestions?

Hi Om,
Thank you so much for this article and the help you are offering. I’m in the process of migrating my site from wordpress.com to another hosting platform. My problem is that the featured images no longer display correctly. They appear smaller than the space allocated to them, and off to the left. So far, searching online, I’ve found a solution for the pages by adding some css code (see at the bottom of this message), but the blog articles still have the problem. Since I have not yet updated the DNS codes, I cannot link to the problematic webpages, but I can send or upload a screenshot if you tell me how.
Thanks again,
Simona

Here is the code I’ve added to solve the problem on the pages:

width: 100%;

The problematic pages (on my new server) are not visible to others at the moment because I haven’t updated the DNS codes yet (I would rather not do it before I fix the problem), but I have uploaded a picture of one of the faulty webpages here for you to see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4eq8gkiq960en10/Schermata%20a%202020-05-29%2014-47-39.png?dl=0

The only thing that changed since I wrote to you, is that I configured Jetpack. So perhaps that was what caused the problem…
