nigelsimonsdq - Apologies for the late reply. Are you still having any word-wrapping problems in The Columnist? If you are, would you mind providing a link to a post with the issue? Thanks very much!

Sorry the above post removed the html for the soft hyphen, just as it should. The softhyphen is So Under Construction becomes Under Construction

If you are still having trouble with word break in the columnist theme, try using a soft hyphen This will tell the theme where to break the word if it is too large to fit in the bounding box.

For example, "Under Construction" becomes "Under Construction"

Actually, I figured out the title-image thing for the front page. Featured image. No need to address that. I guess it helps when I fully read about the theme I'm using, eh?!

Still have the word-wrap (or rather, mid-word break) problem, though. Again, thanks in advance for any advice.

I still have the word-wrap problem with The Columnist. The only post I have on my site so far starts with the words "Under Construction," except that when one clicks on the title on the front page, when the article comes up, the title on the left side says "Under Constructi" and the next line has the "on." I've tried various permutations and adding other words and they also don't always wrap.

Also, The Columnist theme is shown on the demo under "Themes" as having cool images behind the titles of the articles. I assume these are purported to be images (or parts of images) taken from the fake articles therein. Yet I see no way of making this happen once I select that theme. My aforementioned article has merely a grey box behind the title on the front page. I haven't paid for any upgrades; I assume the version I see in the demo is the baseline.

Any help? Thanks in advance. The blog I'm asking about is DodgyQuad.com.

Thank you Happiness Engineer. I purchased the theme roughly 2 weeks ago. But I can't see Store section in my self-hosted blog.

Themes purchased at WordPress.com can only be used on WordPress.com blogs.

To use the theme with your self-hosted WordPress.org installation, you'll need to purchase it from the designer: http://www.woothemes.com/products/headlines/

You can cancel your Premium Theme and get a full refund within 30 days of purchase.

Please go to the Store -> My Upgrades section of your dashboard, where you'll find the theme in the list of your upgrades, along with a "Cancel" button.

moveovermiami on "Headline Typography Wonky in Chunk"

moveovermiami — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:29:57 +0000

Have been using the Chunk theme for a year now, suddenly noticed today that something has gone wonky with the kerning of headlines. They look entirely too tight, with virtually no spacing between words. I haven't gone in and changed anything, so I'm not sure what caused this. Any ideas on how to fix this?

To change the main background color in the Headlines theme using the CSS editor, add this the following to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page:

body.custom-background {
	background-color: #e6f6f9;
}

To just change the color of the bottom part of the posts, add this:

.post-bottom {
	background-color: #f5fcfe;
}

I've asked to have this post moved to the CSS Customization forum where hopefully you will get some assistance from staff or one of the few forum volunteers who can assist with CSS questions.

Please do not open another topic. Thanks!

Do you have the Custom Design upgrade as well as having bought a Premium theme?

CSS questions are best posted in the CSS Customization forum

Thanks so much for the response. I'm eagerly waiting the fix. :)

The word-wrapping issues in The Columnist have been fixed.

We are aware of the issue with Twenty Twelve, and a fix is coming soon. Since Twenty Twelve is the default core theme, it is important to test all angles of the fix to make sure it does not break other areas. Once we have a fix for Twenty Twelve, we'll let you know. We appreciate your patience. :)

Hooray! Themes Staff are on the forum maybe there's hope for a quick fix on Twenty Twelve and The Columnist as they had the same bug. .

I had no choice but to switch to Able until Themes Staff fix this issue with Twenty Twelve.

Hi there,
This is now happening on Twenty Twelve too. I decided not to create a separate thread as it's the same issue.

jimellisinsight — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 16:03:37 +0000

Hi. I'm using the standard Columnist theme off the shelf - no CSS changes. I've just noticed that the breaks being automatically generated for abbreviating words no longer seem to be working correctly. For example, you'll notice that even in the title, the blog reads "Jim Ellis I" on one line and "nsights" on the next. That had not been happening previously. And the abbreviation problems continue for each headline, both when it's displayed on the home page and within each individual blog post as well. Today's headline reads, "GOP Pani" on the top line and "c Prematu" on the second line. I'm in Firefox 15.0. Is it a browser issue? Anything you can do?
Thanks.

If that is the blog in question then we do have themes with post sliders at vwordpress.com. You can see a list of all the themes at WordPress.com that have post sliders here:
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/post-slider/ In most themes with post sliders for featured posts vsitiors have to click to advance the slider to the next featured post. Here are four themes that have a featured post slider that automatically advances: Debut, Currents, On Demand, Modularity Lite.
set a featured post as a sticky post
set a featured image

Here’s how to link your username to your blog in your blog Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details.

Hi,

I'm looking for quite a specific theme, one which has a rolling headline panel on the front page.

I may not be using the correct technical term to describe this feature but you can see what I mean here on this site. .

Any ideas?

ringstonetruth on "Adding the TM symbol to page headlines"

ringstonetruth — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:11:44 +0000

I want to add a TM symbol on a "page" headline. I can edit it in the body copy but not in the headline. I can add it to the posts without a problem. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
