  • SOLVED

So I have 3 questions :

-how can I <strong>Center</strong> the blog page, For now it is on the left side. Did not find in the css code.

-How can I move and/or reduce the control slideshow, It is in the middle, witch I find very disturbing. It will be even better If I could remove It, set it to full left or right, or better it appears only when I move the pointer near the bottom of the page.

- It is maybe just a wordpress issue, How Can I have my blog page open AS my first page? for now it only show the slide show, witch is great, But I rather prefer to open the index page With a slide show on background And the first Blog Article.

thank A lot for you work, and hope to hear form you soon.

Hi,

Your site is currently not loading for me.

#1. Based from the theme's demo site, this is what you need to add to the bottom of your CSS to override some styles and so to center your blog page and menu section.

#wrapper {
width: 900px !important; /*You may need to adjust this if you've changed the width of your blog. Based on their theme demo width.*/
margin: 0 auto;
}
.logo_wrapper,
#page_content_wrapper {
margin-left: 0 !important;
}


If your menu section is not as wide as the contents below it, you may need the CSS below to center the menu section.

#menu_wrapper {
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 525px; /* You need to adjust width depending on how wide your menu section is. This one is based on the theme demo since your site is not loading for me. */
}


#2. Check your theme settings. Usually it's under Appearance section in your Wordpress Admin dashboard. There might be a setting there to hide those.

#3. Check the settings for your Front page displays section under Settings -> Reading "Front Page Displays" section

Thanks,
idt

I find a way to center the blog page thanks to answers.

but I still don't know How to move away the slide show control,

Is there a way to remove it, move it on far left or rigth, REDUCE It, and far better to make it appears only if I move the mouse on the bottom border.


idt comments:

To move controls to the left, add this CSS.
#controls {
float: left;
}

idt comments:

To reduce the menu and logo height to 40px, add this:

.logo_wrapper {
height: 40px !important;
}
.logo_wrapper img {
height: 40px; /* Logo also needs to be 40px */
margin-top: 0 !important;
}

.nav, .subnav {
height: 40px !important;
}

.nav li a {
height: 40px !important;
line-height: 40px !important;
padding-top: 0 !important;
}


Did you want your menu/logo to be aligned left, with 100px margin?

Your blog contents seemed centered already.


sedus comments:

thanks for menu size,

as for Blog and menu, yes, I rather prefer the menu NOT be centered but the blog/content page To be centered.

So yes I want the menu/logo to be aligned left 100px margin


idt comments:

To not center the menu and center the blog contents, use this CSS:

#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto !important;
width: auto !important;
}
#page_content_wrapper {
margin: 20px auto 0 !important;
}
.logo_wrapper {
margin-left: 100px !important;
}

Fahad Murtaza comments:

This seems to be bad referencing of the include file. Might need ftp access to the website to fix.
