Hello –
What is the best way to create a blog with: multiple large photos and text without thumbs or clicking to enlarge the image as well as embedded video (Vimeo).
How do you display categories, name and date at the bottom of the blog post?
Is it possible to not included the author and the date on a post and if so how?
I want a custom font for the menu, blog and text pages and I have a web font kit for the font. How do I install that font?
What is the best way to add social links and icons to the lower left side of the footer?
How do I remove the navigation from the footer?
How do I remove the attribution “Enfold Theme by Kriesi”?
On the last upgrade to 2.3.1 there was a dialog notice to add the code in the dialog to the .htaccess but I had to modify permissions on the .htaccess but then lost the dialog which I believe was code for responsive. Where do I find that code?
Thank you.
