Hi Ron,
I’d like to thank you for your great work on Frontier Theme. I like it very much. May I modify your css (eg. font-family, color…) or I have to put all changes into the custom css?
Thanks for your reply.

  You can add your own css either on the Custom CSS option or on a Child Theme style.css
  
  If you edit any of the parent theme’s files then your changes will be deleted when there is an update.

This might seem like a silly question. But is there a way I could make that “Read Post” button say something else, like “More” ?

  Add this on a child-theme functions.php
```
function custom_continue_reading_text() {
     return 'More';
}
add_filter( 'frontier_continue_reading_text', 'custom_continue_reading_text' );
```

    Hello, Ron. I tried adding that to the child and it did nothing. The text only showed up at the very top of the page. Just above the Top Menu.
    
    Any other way around it? I’d like mine to say “Leer.”
    
    Thanks.

      I’m looking at your site and your “Read Post” button isn’t even turned on.

        Yes, I turned it off because I can’t get it changed to what I need and my site is in Spanish.
        
        I already have everything else translated if you’re wondering. This is the only thing missing.

      Regarding the function above, where did you get your child theme? Did you download it from this page or have you created it yourself? It’s possible that if you’ve created it yourself then you might have forgotten to add <?php on the very top of the child theme’s functions.php
      
      I already have everything else translated if you’re wondering.
      
      What did you use to translate the theme? The button’s text is translatable so I don’t get why you haven’t translated it the same way. The button’s text are “Read Post” & “Read Page”

    Is there a way to edit the summary that appears on the front page independently of the actual post?
    1. Ron
      
      April 13, 2014 at 7:51 am
      
      You can add a manual excerpt for each post that is independent of the actual post. When you edit a post click the Screen Options on the top right corner of the page then check excerpt. You can add your custom summary on the excerpt box that appears below the post editor.

Greetings,

We use Frontier for our website/blog and we’re having an issue. When the administrator (me) writes posts, there is no author listed in the byline. When another user (Editor role) writes a post, her name is in the byline. Any help would be appreciated, we can’t tell if this is a theme issue or a WordPress issue.

  This is the first time I’ve heard of something like this and I can’t seem to reproduce the issue you’re having. It’s probably something specific to your setup. You could try turning off your plugins to check whether any might be causing this issue. Have you tried changing display names on the affected user?

Hello,
I wanted to ask how to fix the livescore script loads the entire width of the mobile phone.
Thanks.

  I really don’t know. The br on your page seems to have a specific width set to it automatically, meaning the script controls the width. You should ask from where you got your script.

Hello,

I would like to remove the border around the container. How can I do this?

Thank you!
1. Ron

  The container doesn’t have a border. It does have a shadow which you can remove by adding this on Frontier Options -> Custom CSS
```
#container {box-shadow: none;}
```

I use frontier. However, when using the tablet looks messy sidebar widgets, Please help and thank you

  What do you mean by messy? I can’t help you if you use vague descriptions. Also, you’re using an old version of the theme. Check first if using the latest version fixes your issues.

Hi Ron

I wrote you before, but I still have one remaining problem that I seem utterly unable to solve: The header background image “triples”, no matter what I do! It does so regardless of the size of the image used. I truly hope you can please tell me how to solve this problem.

Thx again for a great theme!

  That’s because you set the header’s min-height to 100px but your logo’s height is 222px. The header’s min-height is used to set the background image’s height. Go to Frontier Options -> Display then set the header height to 222px or whatever you actually intend the header height to be. On Frontier Options -> Custom CSS add #header {min-;}

Hi Ron,

I have just started using your Frontier theme and really pleased with it, great job

My question is, how do I list my categories below the header? At the moment, by default, it lists all of my pages which I don’t really want as they are all the legal pages pretty much (apart from sitemap, home & contact pages which I’d like
