no one knows?

Wow! Thanks Eric! I’ve been waiting for months to be able to do that and hoping Wes was going to be available soon to do it for me. I think previously I had not unticked the ’tile’ option so it made my background look like a website reject from the early nineties.

Thanks once again Eric I appreciate it.

Hi Wes, yes the first idea worked. I’ve not tested the second.

Thanks for your help.

Right I’m with you Wes. Ok thank you. Can you advise how can I change the post page colour (not the post text area itself) ?

Hi atomicduo, thanks for that. Yes, all padding now done.

For the landscape background with floating text there are a number of online tutorials but they are complicated. Also, consider when your image responds to smaller sized screens what you want the image to do. It will automatically shrink in size but there seems to be options to either align left to show just the left (or other) part of the image (if it is simply a background) or you can crop to a specific position of the image as it becomes responsive.

ALl is a bit over my head right now!

Yes thanks Wes that’s the one. I have found a few in CSS which is great but I need help with the gap between home feature 4 and 5 widgets as well as the space that occurs under the menu in mobile screen mode.

Thanks

Thanks Eric, I’ve taken a look via plugins and also code canyon with no results for top image with text overlay or floating text.

I think it is something that perhaps comes with the right theme. Im hoping to get a response at APpfinite for contract work asap.

THanks

Maybe its just better to find a plugin or special widget that allows me to use a single image with a text overlay?

Thank you Wes but the tutorials are a little beyond me so I will have to park this for now. Thanks for your advice anyway.

typo on 2) should read,

2) The text that floats above the image in Slider Wide looks fine in a big screen view but as you reduce the screen size and the image reduces nicely, the text begins to float above other areas outside the Slider Wide widget. So it seems the positioning code is not restricted to the widget but positions across the website as a whole.

Thank you Wes! racked my brains over the CSS half a day on that. White background now gone. Thank you.

In terms of the menu, it would probably be best for me to have the second option because I’m still hoping to have a full background image at the top underlayimg the title and menu. Any guides for doing that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Is there a way to convert the menu into a drop down when the top page is viewed via smaller screens? I’ve seen this on some themes.

Ive also got white font on white background specifically for the menu area for some reason. Trying to fix that now but nothing comes to mind yet.

Thank you Kronos. I am used to a system where the widgets are used for a universal layout of a wordpress site but with the epik theme what i see in the widget area is only the option to add widgets to the home page so I’ve got confused.

I’ve read a bit about templates but maybe I am still missing some fundamentals. I was thinking if the homepage is a template, surely in the appearenece / widgets area there would be a way to add widgets to other templates.

Is that not possible?

Thank you.

Ive been knocking around with this for a while now and actually think the best solution is to use the menus with sub pages that drop down. I have an existing structure to my site and am developing the Epik theme to fit on a test site before going live. THis was one of the main issues in converting my site with a lot as many as four pages with groups of sub pages to organise.

So fingers crossed, I have given up with the epik portfolio, portfolio plugins and basic html (because of the issues with responsiveness). A menu system is the most sensible for me for now I think. Hope that helps.
