This is a very simple blog style theme featuring plenty of whitespace, colorful highlites and some nice typography choices. It has a full width template like all our themes so can be used for more static style sites, but it is really intended as a theme for blogs more than anything else. Like any good theme it supports all the usual features like custom menus and widgets etc.
hi,
i installed your theme Major but i have a problem.When i click categories (ex:videos,photos) i can’t see my pictures or videos. only post titles that i see.can you please help me.Thanks.
Hi Altan, can you send us a link to your site? Also, you need to set a Feature Image or a Post Thumbnail for the post. For instructions on how to do that, please refer to this article from WordPress http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails#Setting_a_Post_Thumbnail
Major Media theme does not have an option to add a header image, which is what I would really like to do.
Where in the header would I add the html code?
Please advise.
Thanks!
Hi Anabelle, you could try adding in a custom header image via css. to do that, add the following css code:
header[role="banner"]{ background: url(http://example.com/images/myimage.jpg); }You will have to add this to your style.css.
Just a note though, you may want to add your changes to your theme via a child theme or a plugin that allows you add custom css. This makes it so that any updates to our themes do not overwrite the changes you’ve made.
Hi
please check my link : http://www.kerja.my.id/
at homepage, my blogpost not showing in excerpt with thumbnail, but in category and search result, it show the excerpt with thumbnail.
please give me advice. i want the homepage with excerpt with thumbnail
Thank You very much
Hi Kerja, I just checked your home page and I’m seeing excerpt with thumbnail which is what you wanted. Is everything good now?
I’m so sorry ryan, i’ve change the theme. Now I changing back to “MAJOR MEDIA”.
Please check once again.
Thank You so much
Hi Kerja,
Sorry for the late reply. Anyway, the theme isn’t set to show thumbnails on the blog index page (a.k.a. homepage) by default. But, that is a very easy change to do.
In the theme’s template file, look for the
content.phpfile and somewhere at the top look for this line of code:<?php if ( is_search() || is_archive() ) : ?>and change it to:
<?php if ( is_search() || is_archive() || is_home() ) : ?>That should do the trick.
NOTE: best practice way is to do your theme modifications via a child theme. This makes it so that any updates to the theme does not overwrite the changes you’ve made to the theme. Here are a couple resources for making child themes:

thanks again
Hi lupe, you can edit the php file
category.php. Search for the text “Category Archives”. It’s somewhere near the beginning of the file.NOTE: best practice way is to do your theme modifications via a child theme.

Hello,
I used your theme recently. I need your help.. How to make featured post like your screenshot theme? (Culinary Mastery). I tried many ways but I can’t.
This is my site: http://www.thenatureswaytobeauty.com/
Thks
Hi Kristine,
You first need to set a Featured Image or Post Thumbnail for your post http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails
Then, you need to make the featured post “Sticky”. Just go to the list of WordPress posts in the backend and click on “Quick Edit”. Then, check the “Make this post sticky” box. Alternatively, you could edit the post you want to feature and follow this guide http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-make-sticky-posts-in-wordpress/
I really want to use this theme but need to set up a child css. How should I go about making sure the theme use a child css? Thanks.
Hi, here’s the WordPress codex on Child themes http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and if you Google around there are lots of tutorials on this too.
You had a very patient answer to a particularly stupid question. I went back here to find if I could delete my question. Happily working with child themes now!
Hi Ryann
I am trying to remove a page link from the header nav bar. Could you tell me how?
Thank you
PS: Love the theme
Hi Frank, by default the nav bar will display all pages you create. To take total control of what appears in the nav go to Appearance > Menus in WP Admin and create a custom menu there and assign to the default menu spot. Then you can control exactly what links appear in your menu.
Hi Charles
Thanks for the reply. That’s the first thing I did, and when I assign it there, nothing happens on the nav bar. Deleted the whole thing, and tried again, and still nothing – the nav bar remains constant – sigh!
Hi Frank, can you send me a screenshot of your Menu settings from WP Admin? charles @ this domain.
