Go to Wordpress Admin Panel -> Appearance -> Customize. Open the “Site Identity” tab. Type your text in “Tagline” field.
it is typed in, however the “tagline” does not appear on the site
Please contact me by email nordthemes@gmail.com and send site url, login and password.
Thank you! you are amazing – it works perfectly!
how do i update the sidebar menu and change color of background from black to white and text from white to black?
Hello!
Go to Wordpress Admin Panel -> Appearance -> Customize. Open the “Colors” tab.
Thanks
there is no option in Colors to change sidebar background, i can only change the sidebar button
Theme does not have options to change sidebar color. You need use custom CSS codes. Please contact me by email nordthemes@gmail.com
Hello! It is possible to install the new instagram icon? the one that’s come with the template looks outdated.
Hello!
In the next theme update (release early next year) we will update the icon pack.
Thanks
Hi
When I try and access the customiser on this theme the page just keeps refreshing and the bar is removed. Please could you help. This is not an issue on other sites I manage.
Thanks

Hi, is it possible to remove the dates from the blog posts?
Hello!
Go to Wordpress Admin Panel -> Appearance -> Customize. Open the “Post Options” tab. Uncheck the box “Display post date”. Click Save&Publish.
Thanks
Thank you for the great theme. Twitter sharing button doesn’t seem to be encoded in UTF-8, when a post title contains special character like ”’”, it appears in the share box like: “’”. How can I fix this ? Thank you.
Hi,
I just bought this theme, I hope to refund this purchase, Wordpress.com does not support external theme.
Please refund this purchase.
Hello,
Thanks for the great work. I’m looking to extend my site with a slider and a searchbar – could you advise how I should proceed with this?
I’m also looking to change the fonts in this theme – which classes should I target via the custom CSS?
Lastly, would it be possible to have a sticky header? I read above that it would be added in an update, but do not see an option for this.
Thanks and cheers!
Sorry – just one more question. What class should I target to customise the font size for the footer notice? I’ve attempted to do so inline with
to no success.
Thanks very much!
Hello!
1. The theme does not support the sliders in the header of the site. You need to use additional plug-ins. You can also create a sticky post with the carousel (gallery post type). This carousel will be displayed at the top of the site.
2. Use the plugin Easy Google Fonts
3. We are working on an update, in the near future we will add this feature.
4. Go to Wordpress Admin Panel -> Appearance -> Customize. Open the “Custom CSS” tab. Enter the code:
.site-info {
font-size: 14px;
}
Change the font size in this code.
Click Save&Publish
Thanks
Thanks very much! Great work.
Is it possible to configure the theme to support a full-width layout? Would targeting the ”.site-content” or “primary.content-area” CSS classes with a % value work in this regard?
Alternatively, would it be wiser to add a new stylesheet (newstyle.css) to the Nord child theme, and add a media query as follows:
<link rel=”stylesheet” media=”(min-width: 720px)” href=”newstyle.css”>
To alter these styles?
Please advise what the best practice would be working with this. Thank you!
Hello!
We are not planning to add full-width layout. You need use custom CSS to make the fluid layout. Try this code:
.container {
width: 100%;
}
Thanks
Thanks very much for your help and the great work 
Just another question: would it work if I created a new stylesheet in the theme’s child folder and link it via a media query like so: <link rel=”stylesheet” media=”(min-width: 720px)” href=”newstyle.css”>
to add any other forms of customisation so I don’t have to keep bothering you with this? I’m able to locate most of the styles to target with CSS, however, do you have documentation as to which classes affect which areas of the theme? That would be immensely helpful if you did.
Thanks again for the prompt responses and for the fab work as always.
Hello!
Yes, you can use this method. Add this code to functions.php file in child theme directory:
function nord_custom_style() {
wp_register_style( 'custom-style-720', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/newstyle.css' , array(), '1.0', '(min-width: 720px)' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'custom-style-720' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'nord_custom_style', 20 );
Move the file newstyle.css to child theme directory.
Unfortunately, CSS classes are not described in the documentation. Most buyers do not use this information. You can send questions about the targets and CSS classes here.
Thanks
Thanks very much!
One more issue I can’t really figure out: how should I target the classes to centre menu items when the width of the browser window changes to a ‘mobile’ width and the nav becomes a toggle-able menu? Please see the following image for what I mean.
http://i.imgur.com/bkGR4It.pngThanks again for the great help!
Hello!
@media (max-width: 991px) {
/* Button + Menu */
.primary-navigation {
text-align: left;
}
/* Button */
.primary-navigation .nav-toggle {
}
/* Menu */
.primary-navigation .menu-container {
}
}
Hello!
Yet another question: the .container { } class works for targetting the width, but not .entry-content and .entry-header. How should I customise the widths of a page/post’s title and content to fit with the container?
Thanks!
Hello!
Try this code:
.entry-header,
.entry-summary,
.entry-content {
max-width: 650px;
}
Change the “max-width” value.
Thanks

Hello there,
How should I go about customising the size of the featured image at the top of each post? Further, how should I overlay the featured image with the post title and categories?
Thanks very much for all the great work and support!
Hello!
You need use the Simple Image Sizes plugin. After install go to Settings -> Media and set the size for “post-thumbnail”. Regenerate thumbnails using the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin.
Thanks
Thanks for the help
How should I configure the theme to overlay the featured image with the post title, author byline, and categories?
Theme doesn’t have options to make this layout. It is necessary to make big changes in the code for this layout.
Hello NordStudio,
Is it possible to have the posts displayed in a grid/masonry grid on the front page?
How should I go about this? Thank you.
Hello!
Unfortunately this theme is not support masonry layout. Perhaps in future updates we will add this feature.
Thanks
Hi, I am happy with your theme, and I am going to release my blog within the next time. There are two things I would like to change:
1) Is it possible to add other social profiles? I have activated some of them, but I would like to insert an icon of the German business portal Xing (www.xing.com). Where do I have to make changes to add the Xing-icon in the header?
2) I would like to add my twitter timeline (e.g. the last five tweets) to the sidebar through a widget/plugin. Do you have an idea where to make these changes?
Thanks in advance.
Hello!
1. Go to Wordpress Admin Panel -> Appearance -> Editor.
2.On the Templates section select the customizer.php file.
3. Between the strings
function nord_customize_register( $wp_customize ) {
/*
* Modify default Wordpress sections and controls
*/
insert this code:
$wp_customize->add_setting( 'social[xing]',
array(
'default' => '',
'sanitize_callback' => 'esc_url_raw'
)
);
$wp_customize->add_control( 'social[xing]', array(
'type' => 'url',
'priority' => 0,
'section' => 'social',
'label' => esc_html__( 'Xing', 'nord-theme' ),
) );
Click Update File
Now in the theme customizer will appear the Xing field.
2. Try a plugin Twitter Tweets
Thanks
Hey, thanks a lot – outstanding support. This helped me a lot
Hello – Can the side navigation with the tagged post be removed from this theme? Just want to confirm before purchasing.
Hello!
Yes, just you need to remove all the widgets in the admin panel and the side panel will disappear.
Thanks
Hello,
Can you let me know how I can place the navbar below the logo?
Thanks very much!
Hello!
- Go to Wordpress admin panel.
- Go to Appearance > Menus section.
- If you don’t have any menus, create one and click on the Create Menu button.
- From the boxes on the left select pages or categories that you want to include in your menu.
- Drag and drop item from your menu to put them in the order you want or to create sub-menus. Don’t forget to save your modifications.
- Check the box Primary Navigation
- Click «Save Menu» button.
Done!
Hello,
Sorry I meant how to move the navbar so that it sits below the logo and above the “tagline” in the browser. May require customising the html/php files?
Many thanks, Troy

Hello, Does “Nord” theme only works with Instagram videos? Is there an option to create posts linked to Vimeo or Youtube videos?
Kind wishes, Maciek
Hello!
It is not Instagram video, it is self-hosted video. Yes of course, you can also add YouTube or Vimeo video. Sample: http://nordthemes.com/nord/youtube-video/
Thanks
If I add links to the header tagline they open in same window, even If I add target=”_blank” tag, any quick fix for this?
And in case someone wants the header social links to open on new page, edit: /inc/template-tags.php
Search for: nord_social_profiles
Find: and add target tag
Be safe.
Hello!
Thanks for your comments. In the next update I’ll add this option.
Cheers:)
Are you Nord’s going to develop Accordion/Tabs for content in near future. Going to buy most likely, but wanted to know if you are planing on having this.

Is there any way to have the footer visible with no scrollbar on page load? http://spark-creative.ca/2/index05.html (so the footer sits over the video at the bottom of the page visibly without scrolling)
Hello!
Unfortunately in this theme is not possible.
Thanks
Is there a way to make the primary-navigation bar sticky to the top of the page when scrolling down? Seems like it was meant to do that and would allow the visitors to access all the categories (if the side bar is not enabled)
Hello!
We will add this feature in the next update.
Thanks
(You might not want to post this on the comments page.)
Hi there,
I just bought Wild Book a few weeks ago and LOVE it. Since the support and the quality of the template were spectacular, I figured I’d buy another template from you guys. I purchased Nord a few minutes ago, built out my site and I don’t like it at all. All the type throughout the site (the navigation type is illegible, and the text in the actual pages) is WAY too small to be read a smart phone.
Can you recommend a similar template that mobile-friendly by you guys that you can replace this one with? I’m more than happy to pay the difference in price, but Nord isn’t working for me at all.
Thanks. 50f75884-cb58-4596-b6f4-8ca2c83a0eef
Hello!
Unfortunately we do not have similar themes. We are working on new themes and they will be presented in the coming months.
You can request a refund. I will confirm it.
Try this solution. This will increase the font size for mobile devices. Go to Wordpress Admin Panel -> Appearance -> Customize. Open tab Custom CSS. Enter this code:
@media (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 767px) {
html {
font-size: 14px;
}
}
@media (max-width: 480px) {
html {
font-size: 14px;
}
}
Click Save&Publish
Thanks
Can you tell me how to remove the tumblr icon from the side? Thanks!
Hello!
Go to Wordpress Admin -> Appearance -> Customize. Open tab Share Buttons. Uncheck the box Tumblr. Click Save&Publish.
Thanks
Seems easy enough, but when I go to appearance->customize->social profiles, there is no way to check the boxes. I don’t see the Share Buttons tab. Am I missing something?
You need to update your theme to version 1.1.1. Latest update released on last week, includes minor changes to the design and bug fixes. You can download the latest version on your profile page. If you want to update a theme without changes in design please contact me by email nordthemes@gmail.com and I will send you a version 1.1
Thank you!
Hello, I have 2 issues: 1) The sharing buttons do not appear and 2) how can I have the sidebar permanently on?
http://noemon.netThe sharing buttons that are on the posts right now are from another plugin.
Hello!
1. Share buttons are only visible on a single post.
I also found error. Single posts do not work. Check settings of permalinks.
2. Need some changes in theme file function.php. Please contact me by email icebergtheme@gmail.com , I’ll send you a modified file, this file should be moved into the theme folder.
Thanks!
I am just wondering how i can take advantage of the read more capability. Rather than having one long post, i would just like to have a smaller portion of the text showing on the posting page and the ability to click read more as is demonstrated on the demo site.
Thanks!
Hello!
You need use button “Insert Read More tag” in post editor window.
Cheers
