thesacredpath on "CSS Selectors for Elemin Theme"

You are completely correct and you are welcome.

For other novices reading this post.

What I have learned is that you can use Firebug to look at your blog and identify the code for certain sections. You do however still need some CSS programming skills to be able to identify the right Selectors.

If you can identify the right Selectors you can put them directly into TypeKit Editor to apply across your site or you can write some over riding code in CSS editor for certain sections of your site.

Please correct me if I'm wrong thesacredpath. And thanks for the help!

Add this to your custom CSS to get rid of the italics on post and page titles.

.entry-title, .entry-title a {
    font-style: normal;
}

I don't help with CSS editing. thesacredpath does.

rprozesky — Sat, 11 May 2013 23:11:37 +0000

Thank you for the help both of you.

Timethief - it helps a bit but still leaves me with having to enter CSS code.
I want to simply enter the selectors in the typekit editor and not mess with too many things, before they break. So I would like to identify the selectors. As a second option I'll study CSS coding (one day...).

thesacredpath - I selected two fonts in TypeKit. One for body of posts and the other for all the rest (h1 - h6 and site header and subtitle, menu, etc...)
That is a lot of Selectors, right?

Otherwise, if I can just make the headers of my posts to NOT be italic, it will make me feel a lot better. Can you give me the CSS code for that?
How do I make sure it overrides what is there already?

You will need to tell us exactly what text you want to change and then we can identify it. Sometimes you have to use more specific selectors due to the way the fonts were declared in the original CSS.

Does this help? http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/where-is-the-theme-css-and-how-do-i-edit-it/

I am using Firebug to identify what I think the selectors are. I put these in my TypeKit Editor as "Selectors" but nothing happens on my site. I waited more than 15 min every time.

I did "Publish" and I did put the TypeKit number in on WordPress.com's side and it says it is all fine.

Can someone not just give me a list of the selectors I need to put in? I just want my selected fonts to pull through to my site without going and writing CSS code in WordPress.

That's good news. Best wishes with your blog.

There used to be a tag cloud code at http://engtech.wordpress.com that worked, so you could try that. It's several years old, though.

Thanks, I think I've found an alternative solution to the problem.

widget itself can only be embedded in the sidebar or footer, not on the actual page itself

There are no themes that I am aware of (I have been here over 7 years) that allow widgets to be embedded into any area other than sidebars or footer areas for widgets.

timethief on "Can tag and category clouds be put on pages?"

timethief — Tue, 07 May 2013 16:39:02 +0000

There is no shortcode. The Tag Cloud widget does have visibility settings and I can choose to have it display on Pages in my blog. I suggest you post to the premium support forum for your theme here http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/elemin

mzobel on "Can tag and category clouds be put on pages?"

mzobel — Tue, 07 May 2013 16:33:37 +0000

Yes, I have looked at the visibility setting of the widget, but again it appears that widget itself can only be embedded in the sidebar or footer, not on the actual page itself. I was just wondering if there was a shortcode for that.

Volunteers answering questions on the support forums do not have access to premium themes and cannot work with them in test blogs. However, premium theme purchase comes with support from the theme designer in the premium themes support forums.

Read-access to the premium themes forum is now open to all users so you can search to see if your question has been previously asked and answered there. The premium theme forums are at http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/ with separate sections for each theme. http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/elemin

If you are not successful when searching there is a link for the specific Premium Theme support forum for your theme under Appearance -> Themes in your blog’s Dashboard, but do note that the premium theme must be active and you must be signed in as the user who purchased it in order to see it and post to it.

Have you opened the Tag Cloud widget ? Some widgets have visibility settings which means you can select exactly which pages the widgets display on.

mzobel on "Can tag and category clouds be put on pages?"

mzobel — Tue, 07 May 2013 16:23:33 +0000

I'm building an Archives page, and I'd like to be able to include tag and category clouds on the page itself, not just using the sidebar widget. Can this be done, and if so how do I go about it. There doesn't appear to be a shortcode for this.

Thank you so much. That's perfect. Now I have a title instead of "" when someone refers to my blog. lol

designsimply on "Deleting site titles in Elemin"

designsimply — Fri, 03 May 2013 15:00:07 +0000

Yes, by footer credits, I mean the line that starts with, "Blog at WordPress.com."

I looked at http://laurentdunienville.com/ and I didn't see the site title, and now I see it's because you deleted it from your Settings page.

If you wanted to hide the site title in the footer on the Elemin theme with CSS instead of deleting it from the Settings, you could use CSS like this:

#footer-title {
     display: none;
}

Hi,

I recently changed from a category cloud to a regular category list. My blogs are all categorized, but the list is not showing up on the home page. Can someone help? I know it's a premium theme, but this seems like something simple that should be an easy answer?

Thank so much.

dulaurent on "Deleting site titles in Elemin"

dulaurent — Wed, 01 May 2013 01:10:40 +0000

Thanks. By footer credits do you mean the WordPress stuff? I was referring to the way that a site title is displayed at the bottom of pages as a huge heading. It looks bad and so far I've had a to avoid titling my site to make it disappear.
Any advice?
Thanks again

WordPress.com does require that you keep the footer credit links in tact without changing them. I can help you add add a statement above or below the footer credits or help you change the way they look in the design if that's helpful.

Hi there,

Thank you very much for this helpful information. I'm going to check out the specific Elemin forum. The custom design upgrade seems interesting too.

timethief on "Elemin: posts background turns white"

timethief — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 19:16:27 +0000

Note: Custom background features tend to apply to backgrounds to the theme and not to the background behind text in posts and pages. Unless the theme specifically provides for changing background color behind text in posts and pages to do that requires an annually renewable custom design upgrade and CSS editing.

Hi there,

The background color in my posts has suddenly turned white. I don’t know why, but I can't change the background color back to grey.
