Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

sometime, we want to make a different style of text on posts or pages, for any reason
for example, like this one: (click pic to enlarge)
Click image for larger version

Name:	ctext1.jpg
Views:	9081
Size:	43.6 KB
ID:	369

to make it...
• go to Atahualpa Options
• on Various Content Items section, go to Add HTML/CSS Inserts tab
• add this new class (and don't forget to save it)
HTML Code:
.custom {
float: right;
font-family: Times New Roman; 
font-size: 24px; 
font-style: italic; 
color: #900000;
text-align: right; 
width: 200px; 
margin: 0 0 0 10px; 
padding: 0;
}
note: You can change all parameters in that class above: name, etc.

now, this is the way to implement it
on our WP text editor, use HTML Mode and implement custom css in any text we want in any position in our paragraph
HTML Code:
<span class="custom">"this is our custom text style..."</span>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,...
that's it...

While this is great for changing a piece of text on a page. How can I change the default font(s) for all of my pages and posts where I do not specify a tag?

Hello, what do I do if I do not want this central column blog/post/comments thing going on? I would like a site with only some text and links to videos, some ads, but no real blog per se.
thank you for your help!

I mean is it possible at all? I guess it has to have a minimum the structure of a blog?

Look at your WordPress dashboard under Settings>Reading. You can set the home page to static and then just use pages if you like for a less "bloggy" site.

It will take a little time but the best thing is to go through all the Atahualpa Theme settings. You will find all sorts of items you can configure. For instance what you are looking for is in Edit POST/PAGE INFO ITEMS. It will really pay for you to play around with the various settings to get used to them.

Thanks! Actually it is the one I kind of left out for now as it looked really daunting. I played with the easiest ones for now There is one thing though, I can't seem to modify the center column style in 'style and edit center column', have added padding, background etc though, I must be doing something wrong or not have understood something, is it not something you can do?

Thanks again , your help is very much appreciated!

What version of Atahualpa and WordPress? What is the URL? What did you put in the center column style box?

It is SO didactical, it s great, there is so much info, you really can learn some code without effort, I was thinking, you know, once you know, oh ok so if I write this like that this is what it does, then to transform the whole thing into the best didactical online paper would be to have a short sentence on each setting page saying : "you can find these codes and modify them in your *.php" as well if you wanted to", (let's say functions.php or something), wouldn't that be great?

Some of the theme settings have CSS for the center column in the CSS Inserts which overrides the CSS in the Center Column section so take a look there as well.

You can use the CSS you put in the center container if you can't find where it is being called but you might have to add !important to the code as follows.
HTML Code:
padding: 20px 20px !important;

Look at the Atahualpa RSS section.

Can i use the same for creating a custom link style which I can manually add. For example <a href="" class="customclass" that would make a link different from others. If possible, give me an example

absolutely. You can put any CSS in the CSS Inserts and it will be used when you specify that class or ID (remember ID's have to be unique per page)

here is an example
HTML Code:
.linkblue {color: #blue;}
.linkred {color: #red;}
now if you used
HTML Code:
<a href="..." class="linkred">blah blah</a>
the text color would be red, if you use
HTML Code:
<a href="..." class="linkgreen">blah blah</a>
the color would be green

I would probably wrap the link in a div so I can style the hover. Never tried adding a class to the a tag directly. For example.
HTML Code:
<div class="special-link"><a href="">Link Text</a></div>
Then use CSS to style
HTML Code:
.special-link a:link {
color: blue;
}
.special-link a:hover {
color: red;
}
Just do some experimenting to see what works.
