GuestHi Ron
I am having a problem with the following. I set up a page called “Blog” which I want to display the posts. I wanted an imaged background to this page which I created. However when I go into Settings-> Reading and make “Blogs” my post page the excerpts come in from the posts but the background image disappears leaving a white space above the excerpts. Can I keep the original background image I have on the page for the content area so that the excerpts would be placed above the background image?November 30, 2013 at 10:53 am #4283Al
GuestAlso are we allowed to have 2 post summary pages on the same website that could display posts of just one different category on each page?

Keymastermy post page the excerpts come in from the posts but the background image disappears leaving a white space above the excerpts.
How are you adding background images?
The white space is the slider. It is empty because you have not selected a category. You can turn the slider off onFrontier Options -> Slider
Also are we allowed to have 2 post summary pages on the same website that could display posts of just one different category on each page?
Add category urls on your menu instead of pages. Look at my menu above, I have “Blogging”, “Graphics” and “Random” which are categories that only show their own posts.

GuestThanks for the quick reply. I am adding the background through a CSS custom code in ‘Frontier Options’ similar to the following.
#post-67 { background-color: #ffffff; background-image: url(...); }
This works when the page is not set as the posts page in settings.

KeymasterUse this instead:
body.blog #main { background-image: url(...); }
Next time use firebug to see the IDs and Classes you need to use.

GuestThanks again Ron. That did the trick. I am still learning about how css works. I am not sure what I am missing. Is the white bar on the left of the slide a code addition or is the picture too small for the container? Could I remove it?
Secondly on the home page the menu bar which is generated by on page html is separated from the image on the page by a little space which I haven’t yet been able to remove. Is it due to some form of padding?

KeymasterYou’re images are probably just small or not in the right proportions. Another options is to make the image stretch the entire width and height by selecting Stretch Image to fit Slider on the options page.
Edit your homepage content and remove the alignleft class on your image.

GuestThanks Ron. The deletion of the alignleft class solved both problems on home page and slider. The theme is just great and your support phenomenal!
