    Hi,

    My Blackbird theme is coming along fine now. Thank-you for your help so far with my questions, I now have six sliders working on the Home Page as well as four Feature Images working also on the Home Page. See http://www.dwe-systems.com.au

    I would lie to know how to solve the following formatting issues:

    1) How can I left align the First, Second, Third and Fourth Feature Headings and Feature Text?

    2) I have created a Button on my "About" page. Is there a way to change the colour of the Button to the colour of my Main Menu wrapper - #034C81 Also can I change the text colour to white so that its more visible against the dark blue button colour? Is it possible to make the button bigger so that it will accommodate two lines of text?

    3) Is it possible to move the "Social Media" icons and hyperlinks from the third footer widget to the fourth footer widget? Is this just a matter of cutting an pasting the code in the Editor?

    4) Is it possible to put things like a "Site Map" and "Privacy policy" into the very bottom footer where the "Tagline" is located?

    4) I asked previously about a problem that I'm having with using the Dynamic Headers plug-in. I have installed this but I'm getting the following message when I try to use Dynamic Headers:
    Dynamic Headers - Directions For Use

    Please read all directions prior to use!

    It looks like wp-content/header-images/ is not writable or does not exist.

    You will need to create this directory make this directory writable in order for the plugin to work.

    Maybe This Article from WordPress will help.

    Do you have any suggestions on this. I'm a novice, I'm afraid, at using FTP.

    Thanks for all your help so far - and keep up the good work. I spend lots of time going through the Forum threads looking for solutions that you have suggested to other members which re relevant to my site and my issues at the time, and I find it very helpful.

    Regards

    1.

    Paste this code in Custom CSS
    Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS
    Code:
    .feature-content-inner h2 {
    text-align: left;
    }
    .feature-content-inner p {
    text-align: left;
    }
    .feature-content-inner {
    text-align: left;
    }
    2.
    We have checked your website and unable to find the button on the "About" page of your website .
    So, please specify your issue with the help of screenshot images that for which button you want the changes.

    3.
    Go to the sidebar-footer.php file present in your Theme directory and edit that file for this issue.

    4.
    You can search plugin for this issue.

    5.
    I think that you have not created the "header-images" folder, or if have created then you have forgotten to make it writable, while installing the Theme
    Follow instruction number 3 of the link given below for this issue.

    Piyush,

    Thanks for your reply. I need the CSS codes to change the Feature Heading Text to Left Aligned as well.

    Also do you have any instructions on how to use ShortCodes as I'm trying to create a large "Contact Us" button in a Sidebar Widget on some of my pages?

    Also with the Custom Headers plug-in its saying that this Plug-in is not supported any more and there may be some compatability issues with my version of Wordpress. Is this the Plug-in that you are recommending in order to get custom headers on each page of my website as you advertised on Wordpress for your Blackbird theme? If you advertise some you really need to provide that functionality I think.

    Regards

    Hello,
    I have already given the left align code for the Feature Heading Text in the previous reply.
    But it seems that you have done something wrong in the CSS code (Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS).

    So follow the instruction shown in the image link given below.
    http://screencast.com/t/NuuElfldoTKb


    Follow the link given below for the shortcode issue.
    http://www.inkthemes.com/how-to-use-shortcodes-in-themes/02/

    For the header issue,
    We always try best testing with almost all the plugin but there are multiple plugins and there updations are available in
    WordPress therefore it is not possible to check every plugin with the theme.
    I have again checked the Blackbird theme with the Dynamic Headers plugin, and it is working fine.
    So we would like to suggest you to use Dynamic Headers plugin.

    See the link given below for reference.
