Hi there, I want to remove the URL on the logo since the Home has the same URL. How to do that? Thanks. Lavina

    Hi Lavina Yuan

    You can change this with some custom CSS. If you are using Vantage Premium, navigate to Appearance > Custom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. If you are not on Vantage Premium you may need a plugin to handle Custom CSS if you do not already have one. I would recommend this one

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

    Just add the following code.

    #masthead .hgroup a.logo {
  cursor: default;
  pointer-events: none;
}

    Let us know how you get on

    Thanks Magus. I’ve downloaded the Simple Custom CSS plugin. But where do I go to add the code? Thanks a lot! Lavina

    Hi Lavina

    The editor should be under Appearance->Custom CSS. Just add the CSS code there.

    By the way, I just saw Simple Custom CSS page and added your suggested code there. But the URL on the logo is still there. Thanks. Lavina

    Sorry I didn’t see your post… Yes I just added it. But the URL is still there on the logo. Thanks a lot. Lavina

    Hi Lavina Yuan

    Do you have a public URL where we can take a look at what’s going on? If you need to keep this URL private from other users, just select “Private Reply” on the bottom right of the comment box.

    Thanks

    Hi Magus, I figured it out. I put “pointer-events: none;” to this style “#masthead.masthead-logo-in-menu .logo”. It works.
    #masthead.masthead-logo-in-menu .logo {
    float: left;
    padding: 10px 0;
    margin-right: 15px;
    pointer-events: none;
    }
    Thanks very much for all your help.

    Sorry to bother you again Magus. Unfortunately I found this works in FireFox, not IE.

    Hi Lavina

    Apologies for that, it seems that Microsoft do not fully support that method, the closest they have come is to disguise the link. The only way to completely disable the click event will be with a child theme.

    Please remove the added CSS and download this child-theme

    https://siteorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/vantage-child-no-logo-click.zip

    If you are already using a child-theme you can just copy the parts folder from this one into your child-theme folder using FTP.

    When you activate this child-theme you will lose menu positioning and sidebar widget positioning so you will need to re-enter the settings for those.

    If you need any help with this please let us know.

    Thanks

    Thanks Magus. I tried to install the child-theme, but the message says I have to install vantage-free theme first. I thought the vantage theme I am using is free, but I went ahead searching vantage-free theme anyway, but no result found. Sounds complicated. Really appreciate your help. Lavina

    Hi Lavina

    I do apologise, my fault entirely. I made it on my testing server where I have both the free and premium versions of vantage installed. Here is another copy which will work correctly, please remove the existing one before uploading this one.

    Thanks so much Magus for all your great help. It’s working perfectly fine now. One more request – for the Lightbox plugin, is there anyway to remove “1 image of 16” and increase the image window size? On mobile phone 1 image of 16 is overlapping the image caption, and the image window is too small. Really appreciate your help. Lavina

    Hi Lavina

    Please add the following to your Custom CSS to remove the image counter.

    #cboxCurrent {
    display: none !important;
}

    Unfortunately there is no way to increase the size as the box is generated dynamically to fit the image being displayed.

    Thanks so much Magus. The image counter is gone now. It looks perfect. As for the image box, I tried to upload a much larger image 3861 x 2574, but the box is still small. I also searched lightbox demo online. Looks like the height is fixed. The width is dynamically generated to match the height. Really appreciate all your help. Lavina

    Hi Lavina

    The plugin developer hasn’t answered any questions regarding adjusting the height of the lightbox. I can only suggest posting on their support forum

    Sorry I can’t be of more help
