Hi Kevin,
I am currently setting up a website using the Canuck theme.
I’d like the homepage to be a static page however the header image only appears when the homepage is set to ‘Latest Posts’.
Is there a way to display the header image and transparent top header with the homepage set to static?
Thank you very much for getting back to me.
Really enjoying the Canuck Theme.
There is one other issue I am running into.
In the “Site Identity” tab in the customiser window, when entering the site title and tagline they are both displayed in the header. The checkbox to hide them doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Is there a way to hide these?
Perfect. Thats fixed the problem in the meantime.
Thanks again Kevin,
Lachie
Hello, I have the Canuck theme installed and I am now setting up. I have a header image problem. I’m too stupid to make the picture visible. Can you help me?
I uploaded and inserted it.
Select the “Header Media” tab in Customize
Select “Add new image” and pick or upload your image.
Image should be around 1100pixels wide and 367 pixels high, with the aspect ratio of 3:1.
I asked a question earlier today, but have one more to ask please. With the Homepage layout sections, is it possible to duplicate the layout of a section to increase the number of that section? I need a couple of extra sections with text and an image on them.
I have a similar question, can you reuse a portfolio section (so two or more section 9’s) for the front page but with a different category post featured in each section? Checked vid’s and searched through the support comments.
Hi,
I’ve inherited the admin work on a site and have already bought and activated the Canuck Child, as the previous admin was working in the parent theme. The transition was as smooth as silk, by the way!
My question is regarding the text overlay/widget on the Homepage header image. The text is currently falling off the bottom of the screen and I’d like it to be above the fold if possible. Is there a way to tweak it up a bit please?
I’ve checked on a iPhone 10s and everything seems fine. It looks like the static home setup was modified as I only included a Title and Tagline in the original theme, without and action button.
Thank you for your reply to my first question Kevin.
I’m working on a 17″ laptop screen, so that could be why the text looks to be off the page. It seems like less and less sites are designed with bigger screens in mind, but aim more for the mobile market – a bit of a reversal from time gone by!!
I am having lots of fun building my site, thanks again for the great theme!
There is a question I have. Please could you let me have CSS code for a button, I have created a set of 5 links I’d love very much to carry “read more” buttons, which look like the ones in the theme. Is that possible? I tried to attach the image of my “coming soon” segment on home page, which has a set of 5 polaroids of greatest thinkers.
Thanks again for your amazing work on the template. I am still installing but it is definitely going to be my template of choice!
I am placing TAGS on both Blog and Gallery (via a link called Brain Reboot). I have made a foot menu Tag Cloud, where all tags rightfully show up, but some of them (Gallery) show error pages when one clicks them. Please could you advise?
When typing in the search box of my (and yours as well) site, my typing is not visible… How can I change it?
In the editor-style.css (I didn’t change it, was just looking up if there was something about font-size of section 1) there is a fault in line 112. I don’t know what is wrong, but probably you will.

Hi, I’ve just taken over a site using Canuck, but there hasn’t been a child theme implemented – the site is just using the parent, a situation which I’m not happy with. I gather that you offer a child theme with the capability of editing the style file etc which is great.
Is it possible to install the child and then port over all the stuff that’s currently on the parent, please?
Hi again Kevin. I did go and buy the child theme and have received the Paypal confirmation. however, the acknowledgement on your page says that payment is pending and there isn’t anywhere to download the child, that I can find anyway.
Am I jumping the gun or is there a glitch, please?
Thanks,
Ann

Yes you must use the home template. In the Canuck home settings you can then select the feature you want.
There are tutorials here https://kevinsspace.ca/canuck-wordpress-theme/
And also instructions in the “Canuck” page.

try this: add the following to your Additional CSS (in Customizer) :
.header-image-overlay {display: none;}
I will have to take a look at that in the next update.
Perfect. Thats fixed the problem in the meantime.

Awesome theme. Is there documentation to your environment? Truly stellar.
There is extensive documentation on the Theme Page and tutorials here: https://kevinsspace.ca/canuck-wordpress-theme/

Sorry Rod you can only use each section once.

So exactly which buttons, the ones in the reboot? And where else?
Also, you tried to attach an icon to the coming soon button?
Good evening, Kevin.

Hmm that is something I will take a look at. Give me a few days.

What is your website address so I can take a look?
see below!
Hi Kevin,
I’d like to downsize the font of sec 1 of the homepage. Can not find how to change it. Please help!
Add the following to your Custom CSS option
home-1-wrap { font-size: 1.5em; }
Doesn’t seem te work. I tried other font-sizes as well…
Try resetting your cache.
Tried it. still no change in the font-size.
Hi Larissa
I’m very sorry…..forgot to add the period (dot)
try:
.home-1-wrap { font-size: 1.0em; }
Perfect! Thanks for your help

Yep, Canuck is one of the few themes that allows that.
Check the Introduction Panel in the Canuck Theme Page.
Fabulous! Many thanks for your fast reply Kevin. I’ll go and buy the child theme now. 🙂
