I have noticed you have posted a lot of customisation requirements for this theme, our support plan for bronze members does not include customisation for this you would need to upgrade to our gold plan see here. Our bronze and silver plans cover the functionality of the plugin as it comes.

If you need someone to do this for you i suggest posting an advert at our jobs site:

Aligning left, right or justify comes under LOT OF CUSTOMIZATION?

I was expecting the community to be a bit more helpful.

Apart from that,

Our bronze and silver plans cover the functionality of the plugin as it comes.

If we are supposed to use it AS IT IS without any support, then why would we continue our subscription?

Ok i was under the impression that customisations were only covered by our gold plan as it is clearly mentioned on that section. The actual one you required isnt that hard to do but in a short space of a few minutes you loaded the front end of the support desk with a lot of requests for customisation of the theme.

I have just checked your site now and the texts appear to be justified correctly, what you could do in future is something like this.

Open the page you wish to edit in google chrome, right click the area that you wish to customise and select inspect element see screenshot 1.

In the left pane you can see the html (this helps you track you have the correct part of the page selected, in the right pane is the css for that element and also the style sheet controlling it and the line number of the code.

Whats cool here is that you can adjust the values in chrome and when happy with them you can apply them to the style sheet. To do that simply log in via ftp download the style sheet (normally style.css with themes) from the wp-content>themes>you theme that you are usings name, apply the changes you made and save it and ftp it back.

The disadvantage with this method is that if you update the theme then you lose the styling change you made, so you have two alternatives, create a child theme of your theme see here for more information.

Or you could use a plugin like this one which removes the need for either one of the options i just mentioned.

I hope you find this more helpful and i apologise for my initial response here.

When we say as it is we mean to fix bugs etc,solve conflicts etc. not to customise everything for members.

kindest regards

I apologise for my initial response here, this isnt actually a theme issue, to make a post a front page sticky you can do the following, when creating or editing a post, under the publish settings there is a visibility setting if you click edit you will see a small roll out appear. (see screenshot) if you select stick this to the front page it will over ride any changes to the featured posts settings.

Hope you find this helpful

Thanks for your valuable efforts and kind response.

Actually i kept all the doubts contained for 1 month, and then in second month i decided to share it with the community, as working on a theme could be more easier when we solve multiple issues in single sitting.

The answer is very much helpful. thanks a lot.

Dear @Tom Eagles

This single sentence of yours have solved 100s of my problems, I always inspect the elements but I never knew that i can try different tweaks within chrome.

Thanks a ton for the one valuable LESSON.

After i am done with the major editing part in my website, i would like to share the ways with which i obtained the end results or which solved my querries.

Alignment JUSTIFY in the content EXCERPT:

Search for the following Element in Style.css: it would be AROUND 517 line range, it may differ as i have added lot of lines in my style.css file.
```
.boxs .entry-txt, .boxs .entry-content {



margin: 5px 0px 0px 0px;



font-size: 14px;



color: #666;
```
Add one more line:

text-align:justify;
