Hi Guys,

Reading through the forum I can’t believe the support you offer. Amazing.

I just have a quick question on working with a child theme. I’m a total newbie here, and I can’t find the function vantage_content_nav. I want to customize the next and previous buttons for single blog posts. Oddly, the “previous” anchor tag is separate from the span containing the back arrow, but the “next” anchor tag CONTAINS the span with the forward arrow.

So if you could just let me know where that function lives, I’ll go change it.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Fionaom

    This is not being caused by any function, it is getting overruled by your custom CSS. To surround the entire text with the blue border please remove this entry from your CSS

    #nav-below div.nav-previous a {
    width: 10px !important;
}

    and replace it with this

    #nav-below div.nav-next a span {
    width: 10px !important;
}

#nav-below div.nav-previous a span {
    width: 10px !important;
}

    Let us know how you get on

    Hi Magus,

    Sorry. I’m not sure I got the question across very well. The anchor tag is containing the span in one case, and is not containing the span in another case. I can hack a fix in CSS, but I’d rather fix the way the page is built from the function first?

    Cheers,

    Hi Fionaom

    The span is contained within the anchor tag for both elements. This is how your page is constructed.

    <nav class="site-navigation post-navigation" id="nav-below" role="navigation" abp="88">
		<h1 class="assistive-text" abp="89">Post navigation</h1>	
		<div class="single-nav-wrapper" abp="90">
			<div class="nav-previous" abp="91">
                        <a href="http://negotiators.ie/blog/2015/06/new-company-legislation/" rel="prev" abp="92">
                        <span class="meta-nav" abp="93">←</span>
                         New Company Legislation
                        </a>
                       </div>
                      <div class="nav-next" abp="94">
                      <a href="http://negotiators.ie/blog/2015/06/this-is-a-test-of-mail-chimp/" rel="next" abp="95">
                      This is a test of Mail Chimp 
                       <span class="meta-nav" abp="96">→</span>
                       </a>
                       </div>
               </div>
</nav>

    The styling issues you are seeing are all due to CSS. How are you trying to style the buttons, just for the arrows or as the complete text.

    You are right. I got that totally wrong. The span is inside them both!

    I still don’t think I can get what I want without editing the function. I’m try to turn that span into a blue circle with a white arrow on it. That arrow is sitting over to one side

    Figured it out. I can use text-align and line-height to move the arrow and that’ll do it!

    Thanks for your help
