Hi Tristan, how are you?

I am facing some issues with my website www.comunidadedopoker.com

Could you check the items bellow?

Issues on Aurora Dawn Theme

1 - I need to log out and log in every time I make a change on the widget or plugin area.

2  Post Teaser Area
 If you check the post teaser area, it is a little messy.
  - I would like to have a clean Division between the post teasers
  - To replace the word "Posted in" for "Categoria" (it is in portuguese)
  - To show the  title in black color.
  - I really like the clean way the post teasers are showed here: http://www.escolaapostas.com/ .

3 - The categories widget. It is too simple. Is it possible to :
  - Include a clear division between then using a line between the categories  or a arrow or a little dash before each category?
  - Make the color black.

I understand some of my request may not be included on the service I bought from shape5. But please  kindly request you to check it there is anything can be done so I can feel comfortable using the template on this website.

Hi Tristan, how are you?

Issues on Aurora Dawn Theme

1 - I need to log out and log in every time I make a change on the widget or plugin area.

You shouldn't need to do that.  It may be an issue with your browser cache.  Try clearing the cache ([ctrl]+[shift]+[del] should give a dialog with options) and refreshing the page.  Holding [shift] while clicking the refresh button may also clear enough of the cache to see the changes.

2  Post Teaser Area
 If you check the post teaser area, it is a little messy.
  - I would like to have a clean Division between the post teasers
  - To replace the word "Posted in" for "Categoria" (it is in portuguese)
  - To show the  title in black color.
  - I really like the clean way the post teasers are showed here:  http://www.escolaapostas.com/.

Adding more separation between the posts will require some code edits, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Changing the "Posted in" will also be an easy edit. 

(Both edits would be in loop.php)

Showing the post titles in black can be done by adding the following code to the end of style.css:
Code:
h2.entry-title a {
    color: #000;
}

That other site you linked to definitely has a nice way of styling the post excerpts.  Unfortunately, going to that level of customization would be outside the scope of included support, but if you post to the "Hire-A-Coder" (there's a link in my "sig") area, you may be able to find someone who can do it.

3 - The categories widget. It is too simple. Is it possible to :
  - Include a clear division between then using a line between the categories  or a arrow or a little dash before each category?
  - Make the color black.

The following CSS, added to the end of style.css should give you the results you're wanting:
Code:
.cat-item{
    list-style: disc inside none;
}
.cat-item a{
    color:#000;
}

If you would prefer lines between items, instead of dots next to them, try this:

Code:
.cat-item{
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
    border-top: 1px solid black;
}
.cat-item a{
    color:#000;
}

More info:

To add more space (and a line) between the posts, just add the following code to the end of style.css:
Code:
.entry-utility {
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
    padding-bottom: 15px;
}

Changing "Posted in" is as easy as editing loop.php (it should be around line # 147), and replacing "Posted in" with the text you want.

You may also want to look at the rest of the code in loop.php and change any other English phrases.  Just be careful to only edit the phrases and not any code, or you could break your site layout.

Tristan, good afternoon.

Great, it worked perfectly.  Thanks a lot  for helping me getting a much better web site.
There are few things I would like to improve please take a look if we can work on it.


 - I would like to include a little bit of space between the lines of the text  (line-height)
on posts, post excerpts and articles. I tried myself but I failed to do so. If possible, I would
like use the same line-height of this this article for all my posts , pages and excerpts.
http://www.escolaapostas.com/as-odds-do-euro-2012-final/

 - Can we include a little bit more of space between the Title and the body for the posts
and post excerpts?

 - Please check www.comunidadedopoker.com, take a look on widged "categorias" you helped me to
modify. I would like to apply the same style for "Confira" (which is the widged "pages").

Thanks, Best Regards

Firebug should make it a lot easier for you to test and tweak different CSS edits.

Are you saying the "page-item" css didn't work?

Try changing it to "li.page-item", to make it more specific.

Hey Tristan,

Please take a look on what I added to style.css

_________________

/* code to make categories black with li-disc - this code is working */
.cat-item{
    list-style: disc inside none;
}
.cat-item a{
    color:#000;
}

/* Code to Make Page Widget text black and with a li-disc - Not Working   */

.li.page-item{list-style: disc inside none;}
.li.page-item a{color:#000;}

/* I also triyed this and didn?t work

li.page-item{list-style: disc inside none;}
li.page-item a{color:#000;}

 */
__________________

if tou check www.comunidadedopoker.com you will see the wigdet named categorias is fine, while the widget named "Confira" (that is the page wigdet still has the original layout)

thanks, regards

Oops..  I see the problem.  It needs to be "li.page_item".  Sorry about that.

Hey Tristan,

It worked greatly. Thanks a lot.

I was reading some seo stuff on the internet and I cheked that the title of post and article should be <H1> or <title> for better SEO work.
However aurora draw uses  H2 as title for both articles and posts.

I am managing to work on SEO at my web site.

Can we change the title for H1?
Do aurora template has a site map?

Thanks, Regards

Having multiple <h1> tags on a page can result in a penalty from Google ( http://www.seounique.com/blog/multiple-h1-tags-triggers-google-penalty/ ).

Because of the "blog" component of WP, and the possibility of having multiple post titles on a page, it is much safer to use <h2> tags (which have no limit for SEO).

As for sitemap, there is a plugin for WP that will generate a Google-friendly sitemap, and can even auto-submit it to Google and other search engines:

Considering there is a risk of having multiple post titles <h1>  on a a page, is it possible to have <h1> on pages themselves?

If you edit the index.php file in the theme folder, you will see that there is a <title> tag at the top.  The php function inside that tag calls the site name, but if you would prefer for it to call the title of the current page or the top post on the home page, you can change it from get_bloginfo('name') to get_the_title()

Would you mind to talk to me on chat on this issue?
Since the lay out issues are well managed already, I believe this is pretty much what still worries me and I would like to keep this nice tamplate.

Sorry, but I can only provide support through the forums; I will still do my best to help though.

Can you be more specific with exactly what you would like to do?  Aurora Dawn is an old enough theme that it doesn't have as much of the custom programming that I've added over time, but I'll be glad to help however I can.
