    • Hi Acila,
      sorry for the late reply – I have been on holiday the past 2 weeks. Could you post/send a screenshot to show the problem? Marion

  3. using your theme and when viewing in iPhone, it forces mobile (m.tongtong.co) but is blank. Any idea why?

    • Hi Aaron, thanks for using Shiro. :) I’ve just looked at your page, but I couldn’t find any content.

  4. hello-
    I’m using Shiro for a portfolio website. I really love the look of the theme and am enjoying working with it. I would however like to disable the social media sharing ribbon that appears below each post. I already disabled Jetpack plugin but still have the sharing line popping up. Is there an easy fix to how to delete the sharing icons entirely since I don’t need them? Thanks.

    • Hi Dave,
      thanks for using Shiro. I’ve seen that you’ve already deleted the sharing icons. If you have any further questions please to not hesitate to ask me!
      Cheers,
      Marion

    • Hi Henry,

      I’ve seen that you use another theme meanwhile. Do you still need some help from me?

      Cheers,
      Marion

  6. Hi, I really like your theme a lot!
    I would like to know: where would I remove the “share on twitter” below each page, as well as the “proudly powered by” bits in the sidebar? I don’t know if this automated WordPress thingies and tried looking at footer.php, etc.
    Thanks, regards
    Gerrit

    • Hi Gerrit,
      thanks for using Shiro. :)

      You’ll find the “prowdly powered…” in header.php…

      < ?php printf( __('proudly powered by < a href="http://wordpress.org/" rel="nofollow">WordPress', 'shiro'))?>

      … and “share on…” in content.php:

      < a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently%20reading:%20< ?php echo urlencode( get_permalink( $post->ID ) ); ?>" target="_blank"> < ?php printf( __( 'Twitter', 'shiro' ) )?>,

      Just delete these lines.

      Cheers,
      Marion

  8. Hi, I am just starting my website based on the shiro template, and i love the design! But I was wondering if it is possible to change the grey in the blog section? Thanks in advance!

    • Hi Xaviera,

      thank you! :) Yes it is possible. The background-color is defined with #content. To change the background-color in the blog-section you have to add some styles to your style.css, eg.

      .blog #content, .single-post #content {
      background-color: #yourcolor;
      }

      To find all the elements that are affected try to use Firebug.

  9. I’d love to use Shiro but at the moment it shows serif fonts on Firefox – like Times or something similar. I’m seeing the font-family tags (Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif) and no obvious place where this would be getting messed up. Any thoughts?

    • Hi Brendan,
      thanks for using shiro! :)
      Sorry for the late answer – lot of work at the moment.
      Please could you send me you url?

  10. Nice job with the theme Marion, thank you for spending the time and sharing it with us. I’m having a problem with tables; although I have boarder=”0″, it still shows boarder lines and the space=”0″ isn’t working either. Any ideas why?

    Thanx, James

  11. Hi Marion:
    1. I’d like to reduce the size of the text on the upper left hand side, where Shiro appears.
    2. I’m using the Text widget to display text in the right hand column, but the size is also fixed and I’d like to use different colors text – it defaults to black.

    Would you pls guide me again.

    Thanx in advance, James

      • Thank you again Marion!

        I see, I thought a PHP program was controlling the Text widget’s font…thanx.

        BTW, while I’m searching, do you know of a widget that will enable me to implement expaning / collapsing lists?

        e.g.,
        “This is the main topic”
        This is a sub topic
        This is another sub topic

        I’d like to present a list of main topics that when you click on them will present the sub topics underneath or hide them.

        Thanx in advance, James

        • Hi James,
          try to search for “accordion”. There are several plug-ins but I still haven’t used one of them.

  12. Hi, I am having issues with shiro not being responsive on laptops etc, is there anything I can do??

    • Hi Neal,
      that sounds weird. Please send me your url or a screenshot, etc.
      BR,
      Marion

    • Hi Neal,
      Shiro works quite fine. But you’ve used a slider plugin in the portfolio section. Perhaps this one causes the problems.

  14. Hey there!

    I was wondering if it was possible to make the background of containers transparent but not have the text/content also be transparent. I’m playing around with the css and html in templates but I’m not savvy enough to figure it out.

    Thanks!
    Iman

  15. Hi there!
    Thanks for your superb minimal design, I love it :) But maybe you can help me out here… I’ve put in a portfolio plugin but for some reason it doesn’t align to the left like on all other pages. I can’t seem to find the css part where to change this.. I think it’s to do with the tag of the portfolio. Help?
    Cheers
    Suus

    • Hi Suus,
      thank you! And sorry for the late answer…
      I think you’ve done it now, haven’t you?
      BTW: Great page! :)
      BR,
      Marion

  16. Hi! Really enjoying this theme. However, I can’t for the life of me remove the post titles (header of each post) and the footers (all that stuff at the bottom of a post like “categories, share on twitter, etc..”)

    I’ve done it in other themes but I can’t find the code for these functions with Shiro! Thanks in advance!
