    Hi, I have a few questions on the blog section of the theme.

    Use the following post for reference - http://wpstaging.loculars.com/2017/07/10/5-reasons-guanajuato-should-be-on-every-photographers-list/

    1. Is there a way for the blog post title to appear on the feature image?
    2. Is there a way to add custom CSS that will affect only the blog but not the rest of the site.
    3. Is there a way to make the images in a post to be clickable upon which it shows up in a lightbox?  Like what happens here- https://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/best-tips-for-a-successful-magazine/ I have migrated our blog and seems like all images are non clickable.
    4. It seems like the image captions are taking the color of the footer. Is that so and can that be changed?
    5. Is there a way to change the container width of the post itself?
    6. On the main blog page where it shows the masonry, is there a way to limit the word count? And or allow us to put an excerpt on the post and show the excerpt.

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    1) No,  unforchantly  this requires custom code and in this package we don't offer customization.

    If you're looking for professional help in this matter, there's always someone available for such tasks on the WP Kraken or Envato Studio. Pricing and timeline are always straightforward there and that's the main reason for recommending those services.

    2) Yes you can use .blog as parent class

    3) It's default setting all you have to do is to set source to Media see the image below:

     
    (view large version)

    4) You can paste the code below in Custom CSS section, to learn more about it read the article we wrote How to add Custom CSS to your site

    .post-formatting .wp-caption .wp-caption-text{    color: #e2e2e2;
    }
    

    5) Are you using Sidebar?

    6) Consider reading the article we wrote about Blog Page Style

    Thank you.

    Thanks Eroll, and apologies for the late reply.

    For 5) no we are not using a sidebar

    Also on the main blog landing page which shows the list of posts, is there a way to have a featured image? On the edit page option there is an option for adding a featured image but it doesnt seem to do anything.

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    5) To extend the width of container per single blog item consider pasting the  code below in Custom CSS,

    .single-post
    @media (min-width: 992px) {    .single-post .container {        width: 100% !important;    }
    }
    @media (min-width: 1200px) {    .single-post .container {        width: 100% !important;    }
    }
    

    The last section on home page (landing page) Post Grid Element is not maintained by us it's belong to WPBakery, you will find another component Blog Items, or you can advance Post Grid check the tutorial from author how to Grid Builder.

    Thank you.
