True – I found it. But where can I find the Add Element panel shown in the following?

Thanks again

Hi Lucian,

In our folder structure, there is no functions.php file in the wp-admin folder, as there is in your screenshot. However, there is a functions.php file in the wp-includes folder.

That functions.php file does not contain the function

function td_disable_visual_composer_features()

that I would need to edit.

Great! I got it now. Thanks Alin.

Hi Alin,

That seems to change the background color into a solid color (into black and red in your example). However, I would like to keep it transparent, only a little less so.

Can the degree of transparency be adjusted?

Much appreciated, Alin – I had thought that “Top Menu font” was what I needed to change (as the menu in question was called “Top Header menu”), whereas it was the “Menu font” that needed attention.

Following your instructions, I was also able to change the homepage icon’s background color and add a shadow to it.

I found this page to be of help in coming up with the right RGB value:

Note: that is a screenshot of the top navigation menu area, because our site is still in development and is not publicly accessible.

Just to make sure, the menu I’m referring to can be seen here:

Changing the properties of the “Top Menu font” in Theme Panel > Custom Typography has so far had no effect.

I have also encircled with red line the individual menu item (currently: the homepage symbol) that I would like to somehow highlight, so that it would stand out from the other menu items.

Thanks Alin!

I made several changes to Top Menu font and saved the changes.

However, when I reaload the page, nothing has changed. I have done that several times, including using Ctrl-F5. I wonder if that could still be a cache issue.

It now works when there are additional articles to begin with. After clicking the “Load more” text and having all additional articles shown, the text disappears.

However, I noticed that the “Load more” text is still incorrectly visible in the following situation:

All the articles in the category are already shown when the page is originally loaded.

Thus, the user clicks the “Load more” text, only to see that there are no additional articles. The “Load more” text disappears.

Thank you Lucian,

I’ll give that a try.

I realized (and tested) one solution to this. I can simply create users with the names of the persons who email me their texts for publication, and then select the right name as the author of the article when I publish the text.

When creating such users, I can select the role “Contributor” for them to distinguish them from users with other roles or users with actual credentials on our site.

Having to create an entry for each new author takes a moment, but will add to creating a potentially useful index of all people who have had texts published.

That’s good to hear, Lucian!

I’d like to mention that a programmer friend just noted that this (the ability to add any name, ie any character combination, in the article author field) would be “pretty much an essential feature” (translation from his Finnish).

Thank you, Lucian!

I think that the ability to add *any* person’s name right below the article heading as the article’s author is a very common requirement (think all the news articles, opinion pieces and blog posts in the media the world over) and that the theme would greatly profit from its inclusion among its features.

Thank you Alin,

That gets rid of “by” in the author field.

By “contributor” I actually meant anyone who just sends his/her text to me for publishing and gets it published.

So if, say, a human rights activist (with no editing or other rights on our site) sends me her text with the intent of having it published and I decide to publish it, I’d like her name to appear under the heading as the author.

Hi @gossiponthis and @Marius

Yes, I seemed to have missed the setting Marius mentioned. Now there is a “by <author>” field visible under the post title. However, there are still two problems:

1) In Finnish, we do not use “by” 🙂 Just a place for the author’s name is what I need.

2) Typically, the author is someone else than the one who posts the article. For example, I will be publishing contributors’ texts on our WordPress-powered site. *Their* names should appear in the author field, not that of the post editor/publisher.

Thanks again!
