Hi,

try this:

.header-navbar { background-color: #FF0000; }

Lubos

thanks, it works but now the background of nav menu items change to that color when screen size is smaller. is there way to have the nav bar background one color on desktop but keep it white when menu changes to a dropdown since there’s already a solid bar for mobile?

Sure, use this instead:

@media ( min-width: 992px ) {
.header-navbar { background-color: #FF0000; }
}

great, thanks. is there a way to set nav link colors for initial, active, visited for desktop? I tried changing it under customize > color > link and it changes all links across the site.

i tried adding css @media (min-width: 992px){ .header-menu-primary__item-link—level-0 { a:link …}} but it shows error a: not recognized. i’d like just the nav links to be white, diff color for visited, and hover box off.

The People page on iphone if you turn phone to horizontal position still shows blank block as part of grid..looks like glitch. is there way to fix?

“a:link” doesn’t make any sense. Try “a”, “a:hover”, “a:active” etc. I am sorry but customization is not included in the support. I’ve already helped you with bunch of customization stuff, so please consider hiring a developer if you need more help with that. If you want to create a customized color scheme then check out this tutorial.

Ad people: please share your URL where I can see the issue.

yea ive tried a, a:hover, etc… i’ll check out the link. thanks for your prompt responses, much appreciated

Pro tip: try to use object inspector of your browser (Firefox, Chrome and Safari have it built-in). It will allow you to select any element on your page, revealing its HTML and also its CSS styles, which you can even change real-time. Those changes won’t be preserved after refresh, but it is a good way to test it out before you add them via child theme / customizer. Spend some time with this tool to learn it and I guarantee you it will save you a LOT of time when doing any sort of HTML/CSS customization for any website. You won’t be needing to ask a developer how to change this or that color or margin etc. ever as you will be able to figure it out yourself in matter of minutes.

yes ive been using dev inspector on chrome..will poke around as each theme has its nuances tnx!

could you advise regards to the People column glitch mentioned above?

“The People page on iphone if you turn phone to horizontal position it’s one column off, seems there’s blank block as part of grid..looks like glitch. is there way to fix?”

Hi,

you can change the title under Appearance / Customize / People. However adding a text description is not possible without some code customization. Basically you can just copy template-parts/lsvr_person/archive-layout-default.php file to your child theme (preserve the file path) and add your text before <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>.

Ah. Is there code I can copy and paste from another page so it allows editing within the CMS? I tried your suggestion and it doesnt have any styling and no one using the CMS will be able to edit it..

The “People” header text changes if you click on subcategories (to “Staff”) for ex. When you click a subcategory, the main menu (People page) no longer shows as active. This can be confusing to users as they no longer know what page they’re on. Is there a way to fix this so header stays consistent (like Contact page header) and menu item shows active regardless of what subcategory(All, Staff, etc) is selected on the People page? Thanks.

Ad custom text: You can try a plugin like ACF. You can create custom admin fields and then just put the piece of the code into that template which will display your custom text. Please check out their documentation for more info.

Ad categories: I understand, however this is more like WordPress limitation. The theme itself doesn’t really control which menu items stays active.

I’d do that for regular pages but the “People” is not an usual page and shows as a section in the backend like Media or Portfolio…?

For Menu items, there’s no way to keep Page header like the Contact page and show as active page as you toggle within the People filter like the way Home or Contact page does?

Ad people page: you need to add that ACF code into the template file mentioned in one of my previous replies using a child theme. See this article.

Ad menu: that is not possible without some advanced code customization. This is, by default, not handled by the theme. The WordPress itself handles the decision which menu item is active. I may look into possibility to add such functionality in the future, but I can’t promise anything.

Ok, I’ll look into the people page and try as you suggested thanks. I’m confused why there’s no way to add a simple header that corresponds with active menu item for the People page..may be I’m not understanding..

Because in the WordPress context, the category archive page is a completely different page than the the default archive page which you’ve linked via menu. I understand that it makes sense to have that menu active even when in category, but it simply does not work like that. I mean if you do not mind learning something new then feel free to check out this articles which does provide a solution. The problem is that adding this solution in a global theme context won’t really work, because it relies on the menu item labels. And obviously not everybody will have his people archive menu item labelled “People” (especially non English-speaking users).

Again, I understand that from your user perspective this seems like an obvious thing to have, but the reality is much more complicated. That said, I will possibly look into it in the future.

I see..those two issues will be major problems..as a non developer, had I realized I may have gone with a diff simpler theme..as of now im in a predicament w tight deadline..

Is there a way to turn off Search and Filter results from the site (desktop and mobile)?

You can disable search under Appearance / Customize / Header

BTW, you can try to add link for each of your people category pages to your menu as submenu of the main “People” menu link. Maybe this will do the trick.

i found a workaround for the content block. If i can find a way to disable “People” title that changes with the toggling of filter and add a regular page header like Contact page, i think this theme can work for what i need..

Just copy the template-parts/lsvr_person/archive-header.php file to your child theme (preserve the file structure) and replace all the code between opening and closing H1 tag with your title. However, the upcoming theme update will feature a lot of changes to the files structure and this change may not work after the update, as different code change will be required to do that. However, just let me know in case you will need to make this change again.

It needs to be as editable part in the page, not hard coded as admin users will not be familiar with changing code. Is there an opt to increase the height of the header background img somewhere (across desktop to mobile)? The area in demo height is taller than what I’m getting for some reason..

In that case just replace said code with code provided by ACF plugin, I’ve already gave you the tutorial how that works in one of my previous replies.

You can change the header height with this CSS (add it under Appearance / Additional CSS):

.header-titlebar { min-height: 140px; }

Ad title: I’ve just realized that you can just remove lines 4,5,6 and 8 from the template-parts/lsvr_person/archive-header.php file (copy it to your child theme) and the default archive title (editable under Apeparance / Customize / People) will be used for category pages as well. So no need for the ACF plugin for that. But again, this change won’t work after the next update.

Thanks the header height worked fine. For the title, I tried..title shows initially but when I click on the filter items, title disappears completely. Where can I find the php tag for Contact page title? Maybe I can copy/paste that code..:/

Have you copied the correct file to your child theme in a correct folder and removed the correct lines in that file? This has nothing to do with the contact page title. It doesn’t work like that. Just copy the template-parts/lsvr_person/archive-header.php file into your child theme under the same path (create those missing folders) and remove lines 4,5,6 and 8, that’s it.

Yes. I tried and it shows the title initially but when you toggle to a filter, the title disappears.

I understand it’s not related to Contact page, I’d like a simple header that doesn’t change like the Contact page.

Thought maybe I can try using the same code if you can direct me to where I can find the php code for a page title (such as Contact page).

It seems you are doing something wrong. Feel free to share your credentials via PM and I will take a look into it. You can’t use the same code as for the contact page.

woohoo! i figured out a solution. now if i can only get the People nav item to stay active while toggling between “All” and other filter categories, it’ll be good to go! For the header height though, it only affects the homepage but not other pages..is there way to make consistent across all pages?

Great. Feel free to share your solution, maybe there is indeed an easier way to do it compared to my proposed solution.

Hi,

actually, the future events view is the default one. There is something off with your site.

First, update the theme to its latest version (1.10.0), then make sure your time & date settings under Settings / General are set properly.
