Thanks for repairing the issue so quickly. Much appreciated. It works correct now.

Hi Zed, thank you for your patience. 😉
The only install instructions that come with ‘Category Featured Images Extended’ for instance, are:Install and activate the plugin
DE-ACTIVATE CATEGORY FEATURED IMAGES IF ACTIVATED
Go to “Posts/Categories”
Edit a category
Set the category featured image
Go to “Settings/Category Featured Images Extended” to set fallback options.The instruction to deactivate featured images puzzles me, because activation of featured images is why I installed the plugin in the first place. And I can’t even find the place where to do this.
Of course I don’t expect you to give support on this particular plugin(s), but I’m wondering why they are not working with your Anima theme. I also had problems with adding custom fields plugins. Does a theme need some extra features for that?
And why does the plugin seems to work in the backend and not in the frontend?Website: arnoudhugo.nl
Thank you for your answer. I indeed tried two plugins, ‘Category Featured Images – Extended’and ‘Categories Images’. In the admin area they work ok, but no category images are shown when I display a category page. Maybe the plugins are overruled by the Anima theme?

Could you please give me a clue where to change font and color of the date and the breadcrumbs in the header? I have the feeling I’m almost there, I searched the contents of the style.css, but I can’t find it.

Or maybe it’s the breadcrumbs that need a change?

Correction: I see now that it works on my iPad, on the front page, in the overlays from the items. On individual pages there is no effect.

Hi Zed, thank you very much for the effort. But I’m sorry to tell you (I feel almost guilty): it has no effect at all. 🙁

Hi Zed,
Thank you very much for your kind help. But the solution is not there yet: the first one works indeed and changes the title into red. But that was not the one I was looking for. 😉
The second one shows no effect at all and also isn’t the element I was aiming at.The lines I would like to change are the date below the title on the individual post pages and the ‘breadcrumps’ that appear below that: the Home icon, followed by the category name and the small title.
I want to change that, because the overlay makes the text unclear. I know where I can change the opacity of the overlay, but that is just part of the solution.

Hi Premmarga,
Thank you very much for you kind help! It’s very appreciated. I tried your CSS suggestion, but it seems to have no effect on the meta information as it appears in the headers of the individual post pages. Only the text on the front page in the overlays of the item-blocks increases in size.
I know a very little bit about css, but while trying to understand the code you gave, I realize this is way out of my league 😉
Further suggestions are always welcome, of course. 😉
But given the fact that the Anime theme is customisable on so many details, I think the developers simply forgot the style of the meta information.
PS: I removed your css code again, so there is nothing visible anymore on the site.Website: arnoudhugo.nl
Hi Marek, maybe you can do something with the ‘solution’ I posted in another thread?

For the featured image to appear above a post, it needs to be 1920×420 pixels. You can crop pictures in that format, but most of the time you end up with just a very small portion of the photo. Not very suitable. So I made an empty picture of 1920×420 that I use as a template (did that in Photoshop Elements). Then I take the image I actually want to use, scale it down to 420 pixels height (the height of the header) and copy and paste it in the template picture. Save the template picture under another name (then you can use the template again later).
Make the new picture the Featured image of your post and it will appear above it. It’s not a ‘full width’ illustration, but at least you have the featured image above your article.
Don’t forget to save the jpg image in a lower quality resolution, otherwise you end up with pictures that are to heavy for a website.
