Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

[SOLVED] A few problems I've been having...

Your theme doesn’t say who the author was on any posts. We are a multi-author blog and this is pretty important. Is there code I can change to add the author to the post?

When I follow the instructions to change icons (menu1, menu2) by changing the second number (px). I put that in the css code on montezuma options at the bottom, and i don't see any change after pressing save. I've also tried putting .page-(whatever) instead and it still didn't work. here is an example of the code
Can someone walk me through this? I have pages that I want to change the stars.

I have this:
/* Part 1- for default state: */
#menu1 .page-about > a > i { background-position: 0px -2352px; }
#menu1 .page-blogging > a > i { background-position: 0px -1104px; }
#menu1 .page-business-ideas > a > i { background-position: 0px -1344px; }
#menu1 .page-economics > a > i { background-position: 0px -888px; }
#menu1 .page-politics > a > i { background-position: 0px -1464px; }
/* Part 2 - for hover state: */
#menu1 .page-about:hover > a > i, #menu1 .page-about.active > a > i { background-position: -24px -2352px; }
#menu1 .page-blogging:hover > a > i, #menu1 .page-blogging.active > a > i { background-position: -24px -1104px; }
#menu1 .page-business-ideas:hover > a > i, #menu1 .page-business-ideas.active > a > i { background-position: -24px -1344px; }
#menu1 .page-economics:hover > a > i, #menu1 .page-economics.active > a > i { background-position: -24px -888px; }
#menu1 .page-politics:hover > a > i, #menu1 .page-politics.active > a > i { background-position: -24px -1464px; }

Does it also matter, it appears there are some defaults that I dont have (such as contact us etc.) further up on menu1

Also, is there a way to change the width of the columns? I would like the middle column (where the posts are) to be wider, thus leaving a little less white space on either side.

Thank you kindly for your support.

Take a look in the PHP Limited Code drop down at the top of the theme options page. There is code in there for the author and suggestions on where to place it. In the CSS Settings>Choose CSS Grid there are instructions on setting column widths.

Thanks! I have got the author changed.

Still working on the page icons and the width. I can't figure out the column width for the life of me. The instructions don't tell you where to put the code - I've searched. I found the grid files using FTP but don't think i'm supposed to edit those. I cannot find where to put this code or edit, searching for "row" doesn't lead to anything meaningful on the css files.

column width depends on the css you apply to the element. Read teh doc at MTZ->CSS Settings->Editing CSS and ifthat isn't clear enough - do a google search on responsive themes and read about them - it is a different way of thinking when building your layout

here is a small example, remember the site is broken into 12 columns. if you want a 3 column left sidebar, a 7 column center area and a 2 column right sidebar, you would use
HTML Code:
<div class="row">
  <div class="col3">...column on the left, 3 "units" wide...</div>
  <div class="col7">...column in the middle, 7 "units" wide...</div>
  <div class="col2">...column on the right, 2 "units" wide...</div>
</div>
(remember it has to add to 12) if you wanted 1 column, 4 column, 2 column 5 column you would use
HTML Code:
<div class="row">
  <div class="col1">...column on the left, 1 "units" wide...</div>
  <div class="col4">...column in the middle, 4 "units" wide...</div>
  <div class="col2">...column on the right, 2 "units" wide...</div>
  <div class="col5">...column on the right, 5 "units" wide...</div>
</div>
hope that helps
