We are using the newspaper theme in our website where different people write articles. We are not being able to put the author(user) image and the author name is not appearing in the author box. Only the biography is showing up. Can anybody help us with this problem
Hi,
Please make sure you set an avatar for each user from here: http://screencast.com/t/A6v2enkxdA as the theme uses the that image. Also make sure you edit and updated your profile from here: http://screencast.com/t/ATfY2hT7J
The theme pulls this info into the author box. Please let me know if it works.
Thanks
Hi Lucian,
Thanks for the reply. But the process you mentioned didn’t work out. We had to install WP Avatar plugin for wordpress to get the image. Anyways can you check why we are not getting the author name beside the author box.The text of the name appears to be in white color. How do we change it. Please check here http://www.screencast.com/users/omnipundit/folders/Default/media/288965d9-dd7f-499c-9b00-bf55dd0348c5
Hi,
Please send your site’s URL, I need to inspect this so I can provide a solution for this.
Also please try this custom css in theme panel >custom css: http://screencast.com/t/dWG3CiENZ
.author-box-wrap .td-author-name a {
color: red;
}
Thanks
Hi Lucian,
Here is the link of one of our post. you can check the author box and the author name.

I think you have some kind of Java conflict with the FB plugin above the author box, or something else on page. When I highlight your bio text in the author box, it actually hides it like it’s being erased or has a link style applied to the whole bio, which isn’t normal.
Do you recommend any specific plugin for FB plugin installing which we eliminate this error?
I had a bazillion problems with Facebook comment box, but some folks use it just fine. Likely somebody else would need to chime in on that. You could use the console error function built into many of the web browsers now to see if it tells you what the heck is going on.
Hi Lucian,
The CSS you provided doesn’t work out. Do you want to check from inside the WordPress panel if you can fix the problem.
Hi,
Thanks Christopher!

The name of the author is white because use the color set for the theme accent color which is white in your case, you can change it from theme panel > theme colors: http://screencast.com/t/M6tkIzr1DL or you can use this custom css to change the color of author’s name: http://screencast.com/t/J0kSsySnFGTl
.author-box-wrap .td-author-name a {
color: #4db2ec !important;
}This avatar: http://screencast.com/t/QpnV0WuH can be changed from here: http://screencast.com/t/rQq44DAOQU
You can find here more info about this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/
Thanks
Hi Lucian,
Thanks for the solution. The Name of the user is displayed correctly in our website now. But for the Avatar I guess we need to use WordPress.com. I dont find a Gravatar hovercard option in from my dashboard > Settings>Discussions.
Can you elaborate on this if possible what we need to do in wordpress.org. Do we need to use an additional plugin?
To use a gravatar in the author box, you simply use an email address for the user which has a gravatar photo uploaded at gravatar.com for that author/email address.
Thanks Christopher. It works.
Can we make a blog inside the Newspaper theme? We want to post articles inside the blog and updates, so we really want it as a page. Can we do it inside the Newspaper theme?
Well, you can setup as many blogs or sites “inside” of your WordPress install as you want.
Often folks who have a magazine AND a blog, or company AND a blog, simply create a new “category” called …. wait for it …. “blog” 😉
Hi Christopher,
Thanks for the solution. How do we change the font test type of the timeline stories. Please check the link and the arrow.

From the admin panel under ‘typography’
Thanks Christopher. Can you elaborate exactly which Custom Typography we need to change to change the font. We tried all the options and figured out all other font changes but couldn’t figure out this one.
Hi,
Thanks Christopher!
You can change this via css, like this: http://screencast.com/t/YxB8PMsKuR3
.td_mod9 .item-details .entry-title a {
color: red;
}Thanks
Thanks Lucian. The CSS works. Can you tell us the CSS to change the font type of the latest stories title? http://screencast.com/t/YxB8PMsKuR3
Hi,
There is not font type, I believe you refer to font-family: http://screencast.com/t/5vUw7dSm7U
.home .span8 .td_block6 .block-title span {
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;
}Thanks
Hi Lucian,
Sorry for the confusion. We are actually asking for the CSS to change the font-family of the title of the articles. Please check this.
http://www.screencast.com/users/omnipundit/folders/Default/media/e2eea617-53cc-42d2-843f-abcc176f094b
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Please use this css: http://screencast.com/t/JL7Z0xl8q
.home .span8 .td_block6 .td_mod9 .entry-title a {
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;
}Thanks
Thanks Lucian. The CSS works but we are still not able to control the font size. In your previous CSS can you include a specific font size? We copied your CSS in the CUSTOM CSS area. Do you want to put it inside any specific page template for more flexibility?
Recently we were working on our mobile display of our website.What we are getting is like this :
http://www.screencast.com/users/omnipundit/folders/Default/media/bde94e22-abc9-43c1-bc3e-91ea6e83f9cb
But we want to change the mobile display to this: http://www.screencast.com/users/omnipundit/folders/Default/media/a450f9e4-0577-4061-946b-dbdbd45ba09e
So any suggestion as how we can change the display?
Thanks,
Hi,
You can also add font-size to the previous css, you can see in the screen shot that it’s working, like this: http://screencast.com/t/kTVBraj7
For mobile phones use @media query’s to target the mobile screen width, like this: http://screencast.com/t/BaXmddf6
@media (max-width: 767px){
.home .span8 .td_block6 .td_mod9 .entry-title a {
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;
font-size: 10px;
color: red;
}
}
This css will affect only mobile screens, use it to style it as you like.
Thanks
Hi Lucian,
Thanks for the customized CSS. It really helped us to get a good font size and font color in the desktop. The media CSS also works but I need the Module 7 in our mobile version homepage and I am not being able to figure out how to get that big image. What we have is this :
http://www.screencast.com/users/omnipundit/folders/Default/media/6565c2b9-dc3b-44e3-b9c3-458b09917cf6
What we want is this :
http://www.screencast.com/users/omnipundit/folders/Default/media/a450f9e4-0577-4061-946b-dbdbd45ba09e
The styling works but the we need help with the image on the mobile version.
