Hi there,

I’m having issues getting the Lifestyle theme to look even remotely like the default version and I’m having trouble sorting it out myself.

Firstly, the top bar isn’t full width and not white.

Second, I can’t get the social icons to change, either, even though I updated the widget in that area.

Third, the blog page (my home page) is showing photos blurry and the wrong size (it’s much too large?). I wanted the blog posts to show up like they do in the Default Skin example, but without a side bar.

Lastly, I’d like a slider on blog/home page under the header and above the blog posts, but I can’t seem to get that working.

I’m not really sure where to start so your guidance on the above issues would be very much appreciated!

Hello,

Sorry for the delay.
1. You can add this code in Theme Options > Styling > Custom css:
```
.header-top .container {
    width: 100%;
}
```
2. Theme Options > General > Header Settings > Header custom HTML for some variants
3. Image size you can manage in Settings > Media. Don’t forget to Regenerate thumbnails https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ after changing image settings.
Theme Options > Blog & Portfolio > Blog Layout > Sidebar position.
4. By default, WordPress displays your content in a blog format on the homepage. If, however, you wish to create a separate page for blog posts, do the following:
– Navigate to Pages > Add New. You can title this page as Blog.
– Then go to Settings > Reading, and under the Front page displays option choose A static page.
– Below that, choose the page to be used as the front page, and the page for your blog posts. Save your changes, and load your site to review them.
Default Blog page is a specific WP page and custom content cannot be displayed here.
Let us know if you need any further assistance and provide us with temporary wp-admin access.

Hi Rose,

Thanks for your help.

I’m still having trouble with the image size and social icons. Is there a recommended image size for the grid layout? All the images are showing up blurry…

Also, is there a code I’m supposed to be using in the header custom HTML for some variants?

Thanks.

Sure. Should I create a temporary login with your email or provide my details in the private content area?

1. Default Blog page takes post image size from “Medium size” in Settings > Media. If you use [8THEME] Blog List, “Large size” is used.
2. http://prntscr.com/k0tywi – [share] inserts social icons (facebook, twitter, mail, pinterest, google+); https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/lifestyle/#theme_settings
You can simply add own content in “Header custom HTML for some variants”.
If you want to add own social links, you can create a test page > add [8THEME] Socials element and set required links in settings http://prntscr.com/k0u1f0 > click on Text tab http://prntscr.com/k0u22p and copy content into “Header custom HTML for some variants” http://prntscr.com/k0u2a4 > http://prntscr.com/k0u2gn

Sorry, I’m not understanding. What setting am I to change to make the images on the blog page the right size? I understand you can change the size in Settings > Media, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to be changing it to.

I copied the social links code but the icons don’t show I’m assuming because they’re the same colour as the background. Where do I change the colour?

Thanks again.

1. Try to change this http://prntscr.com/k0uemm to 622×382 then regenerate thumbnails.
2. Please use this custom css code:
```
.header-wrapper.header-top-menu .et-follow-buttons>a i {
    color: black;
}
```
