    Hi there,

    I would like to change the colour of the banner - logo header to all white. The site in question is here:

    http://letsgomumreviews.com.au/

    Can you please help with the custom css code? I've tried a couple from previous threads, but it just seems to white out everything

    Thank you, I did work it out - I have another problem now - I want to add Facebook and Twitter buttons within each blog post I make. I looked up Wordpress instructions and it says to go to dashboard settings then sharing, however there is no sharing selection - has it been removed for the theme?
    How do I add social buttons to "Like" and "Tweet" the actual post, and not just go to a Facebook page?
    Thanks

    Also, is it possible to replace the top area, with the ad and the logo with a large banner that goes all the way across - like a large logo header? Thanks!

    Hello,

    Sorry for the delay,

    I have checked your site and sharing icons are visible in each post. Please let know if in any particular browser you are getting this issue.
    Please check image for reference.

    For large banner you can add image tag in the header.php file.

    Code:
    <a href="ADD LINK HERE"><img src="ADD IMAGE LINK HERE"></a>

    Thanks & Regards
    Nitesh Raghuwanshi

    Sorry, when I say banner, I mean an image of the logo right across the top - not an advertising banner? Thank you!
    With the social sharing buttons, I was wanting them up near the title as well - is this possible?

    thanks again

    Hello,

    For logo open header.php file and make changes as shown in the image.

    For sharing icon download "loop.php" file attached and replace with existing file.

    Thanks & Regards

    Remove the code - and then what? Sorry, you'll have to be a little more obvious - I'm not a whizz bang web tech!
    and what do you mean by downloading loop php and replacing the existing file - where - and how?

    I've hit yet another problem - witht he current social sharing, on this page:
    http://letsgomumreviews.com.au/is-cruising-the-best-holiday-option-for-families/

    no matter who "likes" the page, it resets to zero immediately - what's going wrong? This is a BIG problem!

    Also, when you twitter refer pages, they advertise someone called "@thepodcastguy" - what is with that? Very dodgy?

    Hello,

    Theme don't have such problem. Share icons are not working only in some of your posts. For example please check "WIN 1 of 4 family passes to the NEW Thomas & Friends movie!" and "School holiday idea – Skating in the City review". in which icons are working fine.
    So edit problematic posts and compare them with other posts.

    For header and loop file do one thing
    Go to the Appearance > Editor / header.php
    and replace it's code with the code in the header.php file attached.

    For loop
    Go to the Appearance > Editor / loop.php
    and replace it's code with the code in the loop.php file attached in the previous post.

    And save both files.

    Thanks & Regards
    Nitesh Raghuwanshi

    Hi Nitesh,

    Theme certainly does have this problem - one post social icons don't work - just one. I'm asking you why? Asking me to check the post is useless - how can I be affecting the social share button ?
    It is the same as all the other posts. As I said, this is a BIG problem.

    Even more urgently, I just replaced the header code, and deleted the top ad banner (because I wanted just the logo, no advertisement) and there is some kind of ad banner still there - I just want the logo all the way across the top, not the ad? What is that please?

    Okay, the loop file wasn't what I meant, so I just replaced the original code

    I have deleted the file that wasn't working with social icons, and reposted it so now it works

    I have reinstalled my own ad code at the top of the website until someone can give me an answer on how to remove the ad area at the top entirely - when my ad is deleted out of the settings, it shows some kind of default image. I don't want that there, I just want the logo, and not so wide a logo area with an ad in it.

    Hello,

    Paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
    (Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

    Code:
    div.top_banner {
    display: none;
    } 
    This will hide the ad area from the header.
