Multiple questions to tidy up site

Hello

I have multiple questions that I’d like help with. Apologies if they are not all theme based, but I’m a beginner and am still finding out what is theme/hosting/plug-in/etc. If you are not able to answer non-theme questions, then any pointers would still be greatly appreciated!

  1. In multiple places on my site, I list out my blog posts with a thumbnail, title and first few words of the blog. How do I add social media icons to these blog summaries?

  2. In the footer, how do I add text links? I’d like to link to my ‘About/Contact’ page.

  3. I’d like to add a simple sign-up section on my homepage to collect people’s email addresses and add them to a distribution list. How do I add this using Cornerstone?

  4. My website is ‘http’. How do I convert this to ‘https’ ?

  5. I have captions in many of my photos, which are currently capitalised and perhaps not in the same font. How do I: a) remove the capitalisation; b) match the font of the main text; c) change the size of the font; d) change the colour of the font to match my footer ?

  6. How do I create an email address: kirsty@worldforagirl.com

  7. In many of my pages (e.g. ‘About/Contact’) there is a subfolder shown at the top of the page (e.g. Home > About/Contact) which is taking up space, particularly on mobile devices. How do I remove this?

Thanks in advance with your support on these questions. I don’t really know where to start!

One more:
8) In some of my blogs, I have a list of ‘Related’ blogs at the bottom of the page and in others I don’t. I would like to remove this from all of them. As an example. the first link below has this but the second doesn’t. Could you tell me how/where to remove the ‘Related’ blogs from the bottom of the page please:


Hey Kirsty

Thanks for writing in.

Regretfully, this is not a feature offered in X. It could be possible with a post sharing plugin or a custom built function

In the Appearance > Theme Options > Footer, enable the footer widget areas. See https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/customizer-footer-options/136. After that, go to Appearance > Widgets and add a Custom Menu widget to your preferred Footer widget area. If you’re unsure how to do this, please learn WordPress basics at http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-learn-wordpress-for-free-in-a-week-or-less/

You need to know how to use Mailchimp and once done, you can install our Email Forms extension. To display the form in Cornerstone, add a Text element and insert the shortcode of the form. For details, please see https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/extension-email-forms/82

Please try following this article. If you get stuck, I’d recommend you hire a developer for this.

This would require custom CSS coding which is outside the scope of our support. We do have an in-house custom development team that offer paid services, who may be able to assist. They can be contacted at pinnacle@theme.co if this is of interest to you.

Please contact your web host.

Please give us a screenshot of what you’re referring to.

This is from the Jetpack plugin. Please deactivate it or contact Jetpack support to learn how to disable it.

Thanks.

Thanks for responding. Here are a couple of follow-ups:

  1. I’m surprised that this wouldn’t be under your support. I used one of your standard themes and therefore believe the captions are generated by xtheme. Plus, throughout Apex your support team provides custom CSS code to people. Could you look at it again and see if you could provide advice please?

  2. Screenshot attached from an iPhone. The row I’d like to remove is the one starting with the house (home).

Hi Kisty,

.wp-caption-text {
    text-transform: none !important;
    font-size: 1.5rem !important;
}

The captions are generated by Wordpress but please try this code:

@media (max-width: 480px) {
    .x-breadcrumbs a:first-child {
        display: none;
    }
}

Hope this helps.
