HI,
I just upgraded to 6.1 and i am facing few issues.

1) The top menu categories have gone haywire… I need all those categories in one line. It was happening in the previous version now its not. Please let me know what to do?

2) How can i change the star rating colour in reviews. Right now it showing as black stars, I want blue or yellow stars.

3) I installed a newsletter widget, the bar on top of it is not coming. Maybe its a limitation on this third party widget, but maybe you have a solution, on how to display blue bar on top of it with the name (newsletter) just like there is one on top of each widget like editors pick and popular.

hi,
Ok maanged to bring them all int he same field by reducing font size, but is there way to reduce the space between each category in main menu? so that i can increase the font size and the categories stay in one line.

Thanks

Hi,

You can try this custom css to reduce the space between menu items – http://screencast.com/t/Iu1PfGkpP

.sf-menu a.sf-with-ul {
padding-right: 20px;
}
.sf-menu > li > a {
padding-left: 0px !important
}
.sf-menu .td-icon-menu-down {
padding-left: 3px;
}

2. You can change stars rating color via custom css: http://screencast.com/t/IbOfszQ66L

.td-review-stars {
color: red;
}
.td-review-final-star {
color: green;
}

Also for modules – http://screencast.com/t/mTxHy6Yv

.entry-review-stars {
color: red;
}

3. Please try this css code to customize newsletter title – http://screencast.com/t/le4jjszp

#sola_nl_title h3 {
background-color: #4db2ec;
display: inline-block;
padding: 7px 12px 4px 12px;
color: #fff;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 17px;
}
#sola_nl_title {
border-bottom: 2px solid;
border-color: #4db2ec;
}

Thanks!

Alin to the rescue! thanks a ton. it works!

Just one small thing the line below the newsletter signup is coming in the next line, anyways i can bring it back under the newsletter signup box.

Also one issue, i have been facing since version 4.

1) The more stories box which appears on articles page, sometimes shows stories more than a month old, any way to to just show new articles.
2) The top 4 images in the homepage have a grey gradient haze over them, any way to remove the gradient from the images, as we want to show the real images without it.

Thanks

Hi,

Please remove also the margin bottom there – http://screencast.com/t/zvNJMr7RQL

#sola_nl_title h3 {
margin-bottom: 0px !important;
}

1. You have an option and you can choose what articles should be displayed on more article box – http://screencast.com/t/W3s9EShy
2. You can use Style 4 for each Big Grid – http://screencast.com/t/9rTVSf4G2e6http://screencast.com/t/XnBppWJqpRx
Or you can use this custom css to remove gradient background – http://screencast.com/t/aAxd2Exku but it wont look nice if you have white background images.

.td_block_big_grid_2.td-grid-style-1 .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before {
display: none;
}

Thanks!

thanks Alin the newsletter and big grid work.

For more article box i was reffering to show the latest article from same category or tag. if i put it as latest article it just shows the newest article from the website.

i want to show the latest articles from the last 5-7 days only.

Thanks

Hi,

You have an option to show articles from the same category – http://screencast.com/t/UcW3KvVgUX but the sort order is random as you can see in the code – http://screencast.com/t/7hP8UDa3xt You can change this sort order please check orderby parameters – https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters

Thanks!
