Hi, I have the following problems setting up a customized, very simple looking homepage:

I would like my homepage to display ONLY the latest blog entry from ONE certain category. How can I set this up?

I would like to delete the logo header and replace it with the blog header including subheader – both stacked above the navigation bar. Alternatively, I’d need to add a subtitle to the logo header- How can I set this up?

Featured images on entries and pages are displayed way too big. How can I customize the size?

I appreciate your help.

Hi Birgit,

1) You can use recent posts shortcode into your HomePage: http://theme.co/x/demo/integrity/1/shortcodes/recent-posts/ to call posts from only one category. e.g code:

[recent_posts count="1" orientation="vertical" category="remember"]

For you 2 & 3 requirement we would like to see your site live, please share it’s URL here.

Thanks, Birgit.
To change the size of your featured images, try adding some custom CSS. You will need to add some CSS code under Appearance -> Customize -> Custom -> CSS. Change the height value to whatever you think is appropriate.

.entry-featured {
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
}

To hide the logo header, add the CSS below:

.x-logobar {
display: none;
}

Unfortunately, I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you ask about adding the blog header in place of the navigation header. Can you be more specific for me?

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately, my WordPress operates in German but I try to be as specific as I can.

When I first set up the integrity design, I disabled the blog header because it was located in the middle of the page and there was no option to move it. The logo header was sufficient. “Logo header” because I can change its typography via “logo”. However, I lost the subtitle.

I cannot find the equivalent of an Appearance Tab in the Dashboard. My Custom CSS is located in the Design Tab. However, any changes I make do not influence the appearance of the website. Could you be more specific where I can find the correct Custom CSS option? I also don’t know where to add the shortcode you recommended in your first answer.

I really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

Hi Birgit,

Why you added the Visual Composer codes here? http://groemerhof.com/wp-content/themes/x/style.css (style.css file of X theme?) They need to be into a page. Not in a CSS file. Are you a WordPress newbie? 🙂

As said in previous reply add any CSS codes via Appearance -> Customize -> Custom -> CSS.

Hi, I did the installation as instructed on your page, don’t know what went wrong. Is the location of the visual composer codes the reason why there is no “Appearance” option? Can you describe for one example like the feature image size, where this code needs to be placed?

Hi Birgit,

Thanks for the information. The area which you can place the custom css is within the Customizer, then once you’re there you can just paste the code on the area. Here is a screenshot :

So this would be WP Dashboard > Appearance > Customizer.

Let us know if this helped or if you need further information.
