Blog issues

Hey NoraGTS,
To add a sidebar to your category page, aka archive page, please set it at Enfold Theme Options ▸ Sidebar Settings ▸ Sidebar On Archive Pages

To change the font family of the blog category links try this css:

#top .blog-categories.minor-meta {
	font-family: open-sans;
}

To change the news widget (sidebar & footer) to the lighter font weight you are using elsewhere, try adding this code to the end of your child theme functions.php file in Appearance ▸ Editor:

function change_strong_tag_to_span_for_news_widget() { ?>
  <script>
(function($) {
  $(function() {
    function replaceElementTag(targetSelector, newTagString) {
      $(targetSelector).each(function(){
        var newElem = $(newTagString, {html: $(this).html()});
        $.each(this.attributes, function() {
          newElem.attr(this.name, this.value);
        });
        $(this).replaceWith(newElem);
      });
    }
    replaceElementTag('strong.news-headline', '<span></span>');
  });
}(jQuery)); 
</script>
  <?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'change_strong_tag_to_span_for_news_widget');

The add this css:

#top .main_color .widget a .news-headline,
#top .news-headline .news-time {
    font-weight: lighter;
    color: #567483;
}
#footer .news-headline,
#footer .news-headline .news-time {
    font-weight: lighter;
}

To change Weiterlesen to MEHR ERFAHREN try adding this code to the end of your child theme functions.php file in Appearance ▸ Editor:

function my_text_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ){
  switch ( $translated_text ){
      case 'Weiterlesen'    :  $translated_text = __( 'MEHR ERFAHREN', $domain ); break;
    }
    return $translated_text;
  }
add_filter('gettext', 'my_text_strings', 20, 3);

Hi,
Yes I understand, the above solution is for that, please try.

Hi,
Happy to help :)

Hi,
I believe the child theme is inside the Full theme zip file with the documentation, or you can use this one I uploaded to DropBox.

Hi,
To switch from Enfold parent theme to the child theme and retain your same settings, please follow these steps:
1- With your parent theme active, go to Enfold Theme Options > Import/Export > Export Theme Settings File and download your theme settings file for fallback.
2- Activate your child theme and ensure your Enfold Theme Options > Performance > JS & CSS file merging and compression is turned off along with any caching plugins.
3- Go to Enfold Theme Options > Import/Export > Import Settings From Your Parent Theme and import
4- Go to your homepage and clear your browser cache a couple of times and check that the settings have taken effect.

If it doesn’t look quite right, then check that your Enfold Theme Options > Performance > JS & CSS file merging and compression is turned off and clear your browser cache a couple of more times.

If still not quite right, then go to Enfold Theme Options > Import/Export > Import Theme Settings File and upload the theme settings file you saved earlier for fallback and clear your browser cache a couple of more times.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Yes then just move the function to the child theme functions.php, removing it from the parent theme functions.php, you don’t want any functions in both at the site time or it will be an error.
To make your footer news time color white try adding color: white; to the footer news css above, like this:

#footer .news-headline,
#footer .news-headline .news-time {
    font-weight: lighter;
    color: white;
}

After applying the css, please clear your browser cache and check.

Hi,
Thank you for your patience, yes you can use the local font just change the name of the font family to the exact font name used, to find this view a text selection with the font you wish to use in your browser Dev Tools, the font name in the backend is not always the exact name in css, the font name could be all lowercase, or have something added like lato-regular
I looked at your blog page but I didn’t see an example of the font Lato, I only see open-sans & roboto, if you can’t find the exact name for your font lato please link to where it is shown correctly on your site.
To change the font case try this css:

.html_elegant-blog #top #main .post-entry .minor-meta {
    text-transform: capitalize;
}

or use lowercase

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
I see that the open sans font is loaded on your site, I don’t think is showing correctly for you because the font is installed on your computer, I believe your browser is loading it from the site.

Your blog titles above the category meta are in the font roboto, do you want the category meta to be the same font, weight, and color as the title is?

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
On I’m seeing the Verdana font in the page source now, but you know this is not a Google Font and it’s not loaded from the site, it is dependent on the user’s computer, and if the font is not found then the browser will choose a different system font. You can’t force certain system fonts if it’s not available on the target computer or if the target computer browser has a different default font selected.
Perhaps I have misunderstood your goal, do you only want to use system fonts on your site and not load any fonts? If so please note that Windows and Mac will show different fonts, similar, but different.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
To use the exact same font for the category links under each Blog entry in the grid layout as in the sidebar widgets category links I recommend this css:

.html_modern-blog #top div .main_color .blog-categories a {
	font-family: 'open-sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-weight: lighter;
	text-transform: none;
	color: #567483;
	font-size: 16px;
}

After applying the css, please clear your browser cache and check.
Please see the screenshot in the Private Content area of the expected results.

Best regards,
Mike
