Hello Sayontan,
Seems like we have met before. lol You must have known that I was looking for a new start by moving away from Community Server to WordPress and now more importantly, using your Suffusion theme.
So I start slow;
Where do I make edits to my blog title in the header and tagline to BOLD, Different Font, and padded (spaced away from the edge). Figure, I take this approach until I later have a graphical replacement.
Thanks again, until next time. Keep up the great work and be encouraged that you will reap a reward.
Regards,
Byron Jr.
Byron,
Interestingly you have picked three questions that cannot be tackled through the easier options I have provided. To answer you better, let me ask you this: do you want to change the font for the header or for everything? It looks like you picked Tahoma for everything, so I am guessing you want the header to have a different font. In that case, here is what you do:
1. Go to Suffusion Theme Options
2. Navigate to “Custom CSS, JavaScript and RSS”
3. Go to “Custom Styles”
4. Put in this code there:
#header { padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px; /* The order is Top, Right, Bottom, Left. Set the values as appropriate. I think you are interested in increasing the left padding, so bump up the fourth */ } h1.blogtitle { font-weight: bold; font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif; /* Or whatever font you wish. You can see the list of browser-safe fonts in the "Body Font Settings" section of the options */ }5. Save
Cheers,
Sayontan.
Thanks you so much Saynotan. You have done well to read my mind, answer my questions and provided the solution. In my mind, you are a superstar for your leadership and service in this area.
I continue to make steady progress given my exhausting schedule. Next up for development is to;
1. setup a few pages and subpages,
2. figuring out how to list a few RSS feeds and,
3. adding links to the footer area.
With that I would be on pace for editing and posting my initial ‘lounge’ content to the application. Thanks to you, this is progress on steroids.
All the best to you, until I ‘sound an alarm’ here again.
Byron Jr.
BTW: In your comments inserted in the code:
#header {
padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px; /* The order is Top, Right, Bottom, Left. Set the appropriate. I think you are interested in increasing the left padding, so bump up the third */
I think you meant the ‘fourth’ to correspond with ‘left’. I am correcting for the sake of others who may want to copy same.
You are right. I have corrected my error.
Hello again Sayontan!
How do I adjust the font size of my post content & the title?
Also, how can I reduce the spacing between posts?
BR,
Qai
Actually… I want the font size of my posts to be the same as the sidebar’s font size, but I want to adjust the post title smaller.
Qai
Qai,
The font size for the sidebar is 12px and for the main post it is 14px. You can enter this in the “Custom Styles” section of the “Custom CSS, JavaScript and RSS” section of the options:
.entry { /* the post font */ font-size: 12px; } #sidebar, #sidebar-2 { /* the sidebar font */ font-size: 12px; } h2.posttitle { font-size: 24px; /* the post title */ }Looking for one of two things: either add the home link tio my pages area or make my custom header into a lnk to go home.
I would be fine with either or both.
Brent,
Where do you want the home link to go to? Your blog’s landing page? I see that you are not using the navigation bar. If you were, you could have used the “home icon” feature there. Without the home icon here is what you can do:
1. Install a plugin called Redirection from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/
2. Create a page called “Home” from your “Edit Pages” menu, but don’t put in any content there.
3. Using the redirection plugin, use the “Home” page you created to redirect to your blog. You can see this post regarding how to set it up: http://mynethome.net/blog/2009/07/static-pages-in-a-dynamic-blog/.
The pages menu that you have on your sidebar will pull it up.

PS: I am moving the support for Suffusion to http://www.aquoid.com/forum. Please enter subsequent queries there.
I am using Suffusion for my blog (www.kalsden.com/blog). Awesome theme! It makes me wonder how can I get started making my own themes!
I am going to google it right after I press “Submit Comment”.
Thanks for Suffusion.
Thanks, Kalyan! Themes are really easy once you understand the basics. Almost anyone can put together a theme for personal use by tweaking an existing theme. Of course, if you are releasing it to the public that’s another issue, because you have to start adding features to it.
Thanks so much for creating the Suffusion template. It is awesome. You made it easy for WP newbies as myself to modify the look. My question is how do I add the RSS icon to my blog with ur template. I had it on my blog once before. Then I found Suffusion and installed it. The rss icon is gone.
Thanks
James,
I don’t have anything for an “RSS icon” as such, though I am planning to provide a widget for it. Designing a pretty widget takes more effort than adding functionality, hence the delay in coming up with new ones.
To enable subscription, though, you can use the links that are defined in the “Meta” widget. Adding a “Meta” widget will let the links show up and your readers can subscribe using those.

Hi Sayontan!
Thank you for posting such a great theme! I am so happy to be able to access so many customization possibilities! I am wondering if I could find out how to make the main page more narrow to suit my background. Is that possible. If you have a look at http://www.womenswisdomonline.com, you will see that it the main page is very wide compared to the background and, when the page loads, the background jumps around a bit until it is centred (finally) and looks okay. I would also like to bring the bottom and top of the page up/down. I am not that familiar with coding and did look through the css coding to find something to adjust but could not find anything familiar.
Thank you for any help you may be able to offer. AND for releasing such a beautiful theme.
: ) Nancy
Thanks, Nancy. I guess you are looking for a theme that is 750px wide. Note that the theme is not really designed to be narrow, so I am not sure if this will look good.
Do this and let me know if it works:
1. Go to “Custom Styles” under “Custom CSS, JavaScript and RSS” in your theme options
2. Enter this information there:
#wrapper { margin: 10px auto; width: 750px; } #page #wrapper #container #main-col { width: 565px; } .post .title { width: 465px; } .postdata .category{ width: 315px; } .tags { width: 315px; } #sidebar { width: 170px; } #calendar td, .widget_calendar td { padding:0 4px; }3. Save the changes.
Hi Sayontan!
thank you so much for the code to try out. It does work quite nicely – I just have to change the background to something that is seamless. Then it will look great!
You’ve done such a nice job – thank you again. : )
: ) Nancy
Hi, thanks for your extremely cool WP theme! I’ve made a German translation, if you would like to include it, please send me your email address so that I can send it to you.
Manfred
Thanks, Manfred. I have sent you a response with my email id. I will be glad to include your translation
Tried to upload Suffusion 2.4.9 to wordpress site and it failed, apparently there is a socket write error. Also it deleted 2.4.4 which worked great until the attempted install of 2.4.9. Where can i find 2.4.4 to download ???
Michael,
You can get version 2.4.4 from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/suffusion.2.4.4.zip. But before you use the older version can you try using the new one once more? Typically a socket error has more to do with a temporary network blip and I have a hard time believing that it had anything to do with the theme.
Thanks,
Sayontan.
Sayontan,
This theme and blog is keeping you busy!
Two questions: 1) I noticed that on Internet Explorer things show up differently than they do on Mozilla (which I primarily use). For example, the page tabs at the top (on mine) only show one or two words, not the full page name. Any way to fix that?
Secondly, I’m having this problem again with comments, even new (not nested) making the post goes blank (showing just the background). I don’t understand why: I have the settings to unlimited number of comments (so it’s not that). When I look at the database, everything looks fine.
I’ve also repaired and optimized my MYSQL database, and still the same.
Some pages it will go blank after a new comment, and some pages it will not.
One strange time it just happened was the following: Under my administrator email, I have had the default, you@yourdomain.com. I just changed it to joey@dogsdontlookbothways.com, and the post went blank! (When I changed it back, everything was fine.)
There’s some strange communication glitch somewhere.
Any ideas?
Jane,
Though IE6 still has around 22% of the market share, websites supporting it are declining by the day. Your blog will render well in IE7 (currently the dominant malignant beast) and in IE8 (really much better than the previous versions, but most people aren’t even aware of it). IE6 poses a lot of difficulties with elements whose size is not fixed, so I had to give a size that would fit. Unfortunately, for long page titles that makes the text wrap (because of the fixed width) and the navigation bar goes really ugly. So I cut the Gordian knot by simply hiding the overflow text. As a result the navigation bar shows up with partial text. You do have a fix, though. You can have one name for your blog’s pages and set up a different name to appear in the navigation menu. I forgot which version I included this feature in, but it was surely there before 2.4.4.
I believe you are using IE6. If so, get off that dinosaur!!
I have no clue about your comments page – that is something beyond my area of expertise. Probably some plugin is conflicting with your comments. Do you have any special plugins installed?
Regards,
Sayontan.
Sayontan,
Right you are. It was the IE6 that did it in. I’ve uploaded to 8 on my computer but still, as you mentioned, there are those folks out there using it who are using IE6…Will check out the feature you mentioned.
As for plugins, I may have to just deactivate them one by one and see which one allows me to change the default email address – and some users to post comments on some pages – withouth losing everything that’s on the post! If I ever figure it out, I’ll let you and your readers know.
Be well,
Jane
Hello,
thank you for such a wonderful theme with easy to implement usability.
I am having a bit of difficulty to get the tagline under the Blog tittle.
Could you please tell me where I can do this so there will be space and no overlapping.
thank you,
Joel

Hi,
Please post queries on the support forum.
In your Header Customization section, please set “Blog Title / Header Alignment” to “Left”, “Description / Sub-Header Alignment” to “Left” and “Description / Sub-Header Vertical Alignment, relative to header” to “Below the Header”.
This should work
Sayontan.
Hey, it’s me again.
A new issue: I have the ‘follow me’ plugin I want to use but just on a single page not the sidebar. It gives me the code
but not sure where to put to actually show up on the page. I tried to just put in the html of the page but did not show up…any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks so much for such a brilliant theme!!
I’m sure I am just overlooking something, but I can’t figure out how to make the slider work on the front page.
I’ve enabled all options under the featured content section. I’ve put the url in the custom field.
Also, I can’t find any specific instructions on it.
Thanks so much!
John
John,
Do you have posts that are “sticky”? Or have you selected categories to include in your featured posts section? What is the URL of your page?
By the way, please post support requests in the support forum at http://www.aquoid.com/forum – I am pulling support on this page from tomorrow (please see the main content on this page)
Sayontan.
Sayonotan,
I will now check the http://www.aquoid.com/forum for support but PLEASE leave this page up – many of the user questions and your answers have been great and in the future I may need their answers! Can you leave this page but disable comments and replies?
Thanks,
Jane
Jane,
I have no intention of pulling this page because there is a lot of valuable information here. My intention is to do what you asked and disable comments here. The reason is that on this very blog I have support requests being posted on three different pages. And the main site for Suffusion at Aquoid too had support requests being made at different places. I didn’t foresee this initially, but it just makes searching for a specific piece of information difficult (the search feature doesn’t scan through the comments). The support forum is meant to take care of such things.
Sayontan.
Fantastic!
Yes, in browsing a few weeks ago I found the Aquoid page and that will surely make it easier for you!
Thanks, and looking forward to communicating on Aquoid (but hoping to NOT have any problems with Suffusion!)
Jane
