Elbee Elgee FAQ

1. Make sure you're using a child theme
2. Add the following code to your child theme's `functions.php`:

   
   function lbc_remove_postimage(){
       remove_action( 'lblg_before_itemtext',
                      'lblg_the_postimage' );
   }
   add_action( 'init', 'lbc_remove_postimage' );
   
   

3. Reload the page and check to make sure it worked.

A: This is placeholder text that only appears to logged-in users. Log out and preview the site in order to see how a generic user will see your site.

I aim to make this text clearer in future revisions of the theme.

A: Select one of the fixed-width under Style Options->Layout Stylesheet in the Elbee Elgee Settings section under Appearance.

A: Alas, no. The WordPress core header image handling functions don't allow for this functionality yet.
Yes, you can, as was pointed out by observant users. Simply go to Appearance->Header and upload multiple header images. Once you have more than one original header images uploaded, you will be given the option to use a random image from amongst your images.

A:

1. Make sure you're using a child theme (see above).
2. Edit your child theme's functions.php
3. Add this to the bottom of functions.php:


remove_action( 'lblg_after_itemtext', 'lblg_post_info' );


A: Please don't change CSS styles or code directly inside of Elbee Elgee, as this will virtually guarantee that your customizations break the next time I update the theme. Instead, you should create a child theme and make your alterations inside of it. I would recommend that you base your efforts on this very simple Elbee Elgee child theme I created.

The WordPress Codex provides a good starting point for learning about child themes here, while this plugin may allow you to create one with just a few clicks.

Once you have created a child theme, I would advise that you create an empty functions.php file inside of the child theme directory. Then, any and all PHP customizations should take place in said functions file.

A:

1. Make sure you're using a child theme (see above).
2. Edit your child theme's functions.php
3. Add this to the bottom of functions.php:


remove_action( 'lblg_after_itemtext', 'lblg_post_info' );
add_action( 'lblg_before_itemtext', 'lblg_post_info' );


A: Navigate to Appearance->Header, select "No" next to "Display Text", then click "Save Changes". This will remove the title text and shaded div completely.

On or around line 50 in styles/ng.css, div#titledesc is defined. You may

Recommended

override them in your child theme's style.css using the following declaration:

#header div#titledesc{
       background: transparent;
}

...or

Not Recommended

remove the lines from styles/ng.css, inside of the div#titledesc declaration:

        background:rgb(0,0,0);
        background:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
        -ms-filter:alpha(opacity=50);
        filter:alpha(opacity=50);

The Recommended option is upgrade-safe, while the Not Recommended one could be overwritten if you upgrade Elbee Elgee.
