#*my theme support

If you ever find that HTML you copied into your theme from somewhere else is not working correctly, check the quotation marks! Sometimes quotation marks don’t paste properly, and therefore won’t work as intended. Quotation marks in your code should always appear as straight lines and be identical whether they are opening or closing a statement, while incorrect ones will appear curved and vary based on whether they are opening or closing.

Hey! So that theme wasn’t coded with a long sidebar in mind, since this is honestly an older code when I knew very little about what I was doing. There are some simple tweaks you can do to make it work.

First, find

body {

and add the line

overflow-y: scroll;

into that section. Then, find

#container {

and remove the same line, 

overflow-y: scroll;

Now it should all scroll as one, and the filters should still work.

Hey anon! I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking, but I’ll take a stab. First of all, make sure you’re looking at this version of the timeline theme and not the one as part of this pack. The second version is only meant for that theme and doesn’t come with instructions to use anywhere else.

Inserting the timeline into a standard page should be the same on any theme. It should work just as well if there are other elements on the page, as long as your entire timeline section is together and uninterrupted.

If you want it to be part of someone else’s custom page (as in not using the basic page editor), then that would depend on their code, but the general setup would be the same. Then paste this code above and then use the provided template in the body of the page.

Hey! There’s actually an error in the code that I’ve run into before, which I thought I had fixed in the final pastebin version but evidently it slipped through the cracks. What you need to do is find and remove this line:

Which is found underneath

Essentially there are two slightly different versions of this line in the code, and it’s causing some weirdness. This removes the duplicate and should resolve the issue. I’m correcting it on the pastebin now, as well.

TO ADD A BACKGROUND IMAGE:

Find body and add the following lines underneath --

background-image:url(‘IMAGE URL HERE’); background-attachment:fixed;

If you want the image to tile, add this line as well --

background-repeat:repeat;

If you don’t want the image to tile, add this line instead --

background-repeat:no-repeat;

If you want the image to automatically fill the entire screen, add this line --

background-size:cover;

TO REMOVE THE BORDERS:

The easiest way to do this? Simply make the borders the same color as the background, and voila. You can't see them anymore! However, if you need to remove them entirely, hit CTRL + F to find any instance of border:1px solid {color:borders}; and then delete them.

TO ADD A COLOR TO THE POSTS AND SIDEBAR:

You can simply add the following under .posts, #description, and #credit --

background-color:COLOR GOES HERE;

If you’d like them all to be the same color, and have that color controlled from the basic editor, scroll up to find the the tags that start with <meta name=“whatever” content=“whatever” /> then add the following in the same spot, on its own line --

<meta name=“color:posts background” content=“COLOR GOES HERE” />

Then, under .posts, #description, and #credit, add the following line:

background-color:{color:posts background};

Hey! I’m so glad you liked my code!

I’ve never actually done my captions in that style, so I wouldn’t know where to start. I am the first to admit I’m a coding rookie. But I have seen this tutorial floating around and it seems to have been successful for others.
