Hi, I’ve just downloaded Grey Press, however how do I delete the existing widgets that come with the download?

Look forward to your reply.

Thank you

Miriam

Hi Miriam, once you install the template you can delete the existing widgets from the page elements screen. Just click edit on the widget you want to delete and then click “remove page element”.

Hi David,

Thank you for your quick reply, however that’s the problem the particular widget I want to remove is not showing up on the page element screen. I’ve used both Firefox and Safari to view and it doesn’t show up. Is there someway I can delete it from the html template itself? and if so what can I delete? I want to remove the Feed It Widget.

Thank you and look forward to your reply.

@Miriam, Blogger has a bug so the scroll bar at the bottom of the “edit html” page no longer appears. That’s why you can’t see the widget “edit” link. Before you edit the code, make sure you check the “Expand Widget Templates” checkbox which will reveal all the code in the textbox window. Then make sure to backup your template before trying the following change. Search for the phrase “Feed It!” within the code. Once you find that section, you’ll want to delete the entire section from the “FeedIt” tag to “end FeedIt”. Save and look at your Blogger site.

David,
I downloaded and installed the theme and love it. The one problem that I am running into is that I have a team blog and I can’t get the name of the team member who wrote the post to appear. I’ve tried pasting in XML from other templates, adding it in the Blog Posts Page Element, moving it above the post, and so on, but I can’t get it to work. No matter what I put in besides number of comments and labels, it won’t change (and if I delete comments and labels, it doesn’t take those away either. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

@Beau, you need to add this bit of code into the template to show the author information:

b:if cond=’data:top.showAuthor’
data:top.authorLabel/
data:post.author/
/b:if

Make sure to add the “< " and ">” at the beginning and end of each line.
If you deleted some blog post page elements and things still showed up, you probably deleted the wrong section.

David you’re a star I got rid of the feed it box.

One more question how do I change the font size of the headers in the boxes? can’t seem to change it through ‘layout’ fonts & sizes section?

Look forward to your reply.

Cheers

@Miriam, If you edit the template code you can change the font size. You’ll want to search the template for “h1.title” and then right above that is “h1″. Change the “h1″ font-size: 4.0em to 3.5em or something to make it smaller.

David,

I am using blogger to point to my site and I don’t want the nav bar at the top. Can I get rid of this?

This is such a lovely template!

Hi David, I’ve noticed when adding logos etc via html element that it doesn’t center the logo within the box? I probably haven’t explained it right but if you go to the website you’ll know what I mean.

Thank you

also David, re your comment previously regarding changing header size of the boxes - I have followed your instructions re H1 to no change - is there something else I need to do, at the moment the heading are huge. Thank you kindly

hello David. This is the template that I liked the most cos its simple. It’s actually running online for now but my problem is the time I wrote the post and the quick edit option is not visible when in fact I checked those when editing my Blog Posts. Those didn’t show up despite being checked. Hope you can help me with this. Thanks and more power

@Marie, the quick edit link code must not be included in the template. Sometimes some of the templates submitted to our site leave it out on purpose or just forget to add it in. You’ll need to edit the template code and add it. I don’t know where off hand so I won’t be of much help.
