[Resolved] Queries on Volume starter site

[Scott]

Hi

I’m using the Volume starter site and have a few questions I’d appreciate your help on:

1. GP Blocks buttons – why do these inherit body font size not button font size? Is there any way to make the buttons inherit button font size from the customizer? I want button font size to be smaller than body, but don’t want to set this manually on each button in case I want to change it in the future.

2. How to underline links? My usual CSS doesn’t seem to work here.

3. How to remove “About the Author” in sidebar?

4. How to remove excerpt under post title?

5. How to change pink colour (bottom of posts “Previous” and “Next” and “More from this author”) – Doesn’t seem to pull from Global Colors.

Thanks!

Hi Scott,

1. The Buttons selector in typography only targets WP Buttons by default. You may also select GB Buttons through Target Element: Custom – .gb-button as such: https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAu6vBxD

2. Which specific links are you referring to? For instance, a code like this would make all links underlined:

a {
    text-decoration:underline;
}

3. This “About author’ section can be found in the Author Box Element in Appearance > Elements. You may delete this Element or set it to draft to remove it.

4. The excerpt length is defined in the two Content Templates – Post Archive Template and First Post Template.

See: https://share.getcloudapp.com/YEurbpyn

Also see: https://share.getcloudapp.com/4guKGjOw

Try setting these to zero.

5. This can be modified through the Post Navigation Element in Appearance > Elements.

Hope this clarifies. Kindly let us know if further assistance is needed. 🙂

Hi Fernando

Thanks for getting back to me.

1. How do I navigate to the Font Manager screen in your link so I can insert the .gb-button?

2. I’d like to underline links in the Body. I’ve added your CSS but this doesn’t seem to have done anything.

The others all worked thanks.

[Fernando]

1. The Font Manager and the Typography Manager are both in Appearance > Customize > Typography.

Here is an article you may refer to with regards to this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/dynamic-typography-overview/

2. Try this CSS:

div#page a {
    text-decoration:underline;
}

As mentioned, add this in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

Here is how it should look like when added: https://share.getcloudapp.com/d5u9jWod

Hope this clarifies. 🙂

Thanks Fernando

1. This is working now. The issue was that I didn’t have Dynamic Typography activated so the Font Manager wasn’t available.

2. This is also working. Is there a way to exclude links in buttons and headings from being underlined? So underline text in paragraphs only?

[Fernando]

1. Right, you need the Typography module enabled to see these options.
2. Try this instead:

div#page p a {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

Kindly let us know how it goes. 🙂

[Scott]

Perfect, thanks!

[Fernando]

You’re welcome Scott! Glad that worked as expected! Feel free to reach out anytime you’ll need assistance with anything else. 🙂

Hi Fernando

A quick follow up question on the link underlining:

Is it possible to only underline links in the body on posts (not home page, archives etc)?
Currently I have links on category names and “read more” links on the home page which I’d like to avoid.

Hi there,

try this:

.single-post .entry-content p a {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

[Scott]

Thanks!

You’re welcome
