Hi @dkennedy56 ! it looks like that feature is from the Jetpack plugin, which you can install and activate from the plugins section.
If you want to just hide the author photo, you can use some additional css under Appearance > Customize:
body:not(.search-results) article:not(.type-page) .entry-footer .avatar {
display: none;
}
Thank you, @properlypurple — I have Jetpack installed and activated. I’ve been cruising all over the settings, and I don’t see where I can activate Content Options. I also see that it’s not available with some themes. Maybe Twenty Sixteen has been excluded?
@dkennedy56 I actually went through the code for this theme, and it looks like it doesn’t include support for Jetpack’s content options. It looks like the best way would be to use the css solution I shared before.
@properlypurple That’s interesting, because the WordPress.com version of Twenty Sixteen has those options.
@dkennedy56 It’s possible WordPress.com uses a different or modified version in some way – but that’s something you’d need to follow up with their internal support.
I’d second @properlypurple suggestion of the CSS solution as the best path forward.
@properlypurple I appreciate your help, especially with the CSS code. I’ve switched to Twenty Sixteen, although I might switch again at some point if I can find something I like more. For now, though, I wonder if you might have a few more ideas up your sleeve. I know almost nothing about CSS, and I’d just as soon keep it that way, ha ha.
— If you take a look at the description line under the title at dankennedy.net, you’ll see that I used CSS to boost the size a bit, but I now need a little more leading so that the bottom isn’t cut off — maybe a pixel or so. Any idea of how to do that?
— I’ve seen a few themes where categories and tags would be preceded by “Categories:” and “Tags:”, or even by a little icon. Is there a way to add those through CSS?
Thank you again!
Hey @dkennedy56 ! You can try the following
- This css adds a bottom-margin to your site description
.site-description {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
Adding text is possible with css, but it’s not a good idea for accessibility and seo. The best option here is to create a child theme, and adding those into the theme’s files. The following links should be helpful:
For adding arbitrary css to your site, maybe these plugins should be helpful:
Thank you, @properlypurple. If I may, one more? I’d love to reduce the amount of space between my site description and the menu bar as well as between the menu bar and the top of the actual content. Everything you’ve suggested has worked perfectly.
Hello @dkennedy56 !
Please try these CSS codes to reduce the space below the site description and below the menu:
.site-branding, .site-header-menu, .header-image {
margin-bottom: 0em;
}
.site-header {
padding-bottom: 2em;
}
You can also adjust the number value before em;
