Vantage How To ?

By Vlad, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

I’ve purchased the premium version of Vantage and I’d like to make a quick list of the things I couldn’t find help with so far :
1) How can I limit the maximum width of the page ? I’m aiming for a size of 780 as the site will be home to comics of this particular size.
2) how can I make the top banner border 0 vertically and horizontal ? tried doing it from CSS , doesn’t seem to work, and if I add 0 in the editor it will be a lot larger for no reason.
3) How can I make arrow links for the blog entries ? ( previous, next )

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Vlad

    Thanks for reaching out.

    1. Vantage doesn’t have a theme option for site width at this stage. If you’re running the boxed layout you can control site width by adding the following to Appearance > Custom CSS:

    /* Vantage Boxed Layout Site Width */
    
    body.responsive #page-wrapper {
    max-width: 960px;
    }
    

    Adjust as required.

    2. The Customizer unfortunately only takes down to 1px padding at the moment, 0 doesn’t work. We’ll resolve this soon. For now you could try the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:

    /* Vantage Header Padding */
    
    header#masthead .hgroup {
    padding-top: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
    }
    

    3. Pagination will automatically appear at the bottom of your blog page when the maximum number of posts per page has been reached and assuming there are more posts on the next page.

    You can assign a blog page under Settings > Reading. You can also set the maximum number of posts per page there.

    Next, Previous links will appear at the bottom of single post pages.

    Thanks for the replies ! :)
    3) Regarding pagination – I’d like my latest post to be displayed on the HOME page and the other posts to be displayed in the Archive page ( just a page I added ). For some reason I cannot find the previous and next links at the bottom – I’m building the posts with the visual editor and using widgets -= also made buttons using those =-.

    4) actually managed to do 1 and 2 with similar but different methods and I realized that I actually would like the top header to be full screen size, however – the top menu and the content to be limited to a certain size ( similar to : sinfest.net ).

    How could I do that ?

    Sure.

    3. If you’re using Page Builder for your home page you could insert a Post Loop widget and set the max amount of posts per page 1. That’s a setting in the Post Loop widget.

    2. We unfortunately only have the boxed and full width layouts on offer at the moment. Sorry we don’t have more here.

    Hello again,

    Today I updated my theme to find out that a lot of things are placed improperly after doing so =( . The site is here :

    I can’t manage to place the header in the initial position, the CSS Appearance code is as the one posted on the first reply however it doesn’t seem to be working, also there is a black area at the top and I don’t know how to remove it.

    Hi Vlad

    The following selector in your Custom CSS must change:

    header#masthead .hgroup {
    padding-bottom: 0 !important;
    padding-top: 0 !important;
    }
    

    The only change was a period was added in front of hgroup.

    You can also try adding the following to help with your menu:

    /* Menu Main */
    
    .main-navigation {
    margin: 0;
    max-width: 869px;
    }
    
    /* Menu Padding Horizontal */
    
    .main-navigation ul li a {
    padding-right: 25px !important;
    padding-left: 25px !important;
    }
