With WordPress you’d normally split your content into two major categories: recipes and posts (journal). These two can of course have further subcategories.

Then you’d display specific (sub)categories on your site and avoid displaying the main blog page (as that would mix the two types of posts together).

The Magazine Layout option applies to all sections that display a list of posts (categories, archives, search results). This cannot be easily customized for a specific category as there is a lot of code and styling involved in this option’s functionality that would need adapting.

WordPress lists categories alphabetically, always picking the first one when a post is present in multiple categories.

To control a post’s ‘main’ category use a plugin like WP Category Permalink.

I said you could use the presence (or absence) of those tags to check how the plugin/WordPress sanitizes the fields and get an idea where the problem is.

In-line scripts will not work without the opening and closing tags, so you not including them or the sanitization filtering them out ends in the same result.

This really depends on the plugin and how it filters/sanitizes those fields. My guess is that if the plugin uses the usual WordPress sanitization functions, the opening and closing <script> tags get filtered out, making the code non-functional.

You can check if any of the code is outputted in the source of the site on the frontend.

i was using IE edge – as i was keeping the work separate to my chrome work but switched it to FF – no problems after that
as for the input variable count, after reading your link, i would say it is the default one but not had any issues with it on other projects

i think it might be an IE edge issue (yeah i know) just used that to keep cookies etc separate from other browser so could flush them without losing the tabs in chrome for other work

end solution – use FF no issues!

[bryanhiggs]

Wow! I completely missed that configuration option!

Thank you for pointing it out. I have switched to the option we would like, and I think it will solve our columns display problem. Much appreciated!

Any comments on:

(We also believe we have that problem when they first view the slider at the top of the desktop (and tablet) screen, and that our users will not realize that there is more to view below, and not realize they need to scroll down. That is a somewhat different problem, and we will have to figure out how to provide visual indicators and navigational assistance so that they know there is more below and figure out how to get to it. If you have any experience of how to solve this problem, we’d be very interested in hearing your suggestions.)

??

[Zed]

The columns have 3 display options: animated, static on image and static under image (we believe the names are almost self-explanatory).

You can create a custom 1px tall image (but with the correct width) and use it for all the columns so the image condition is fulfilled. The static under image setting should work correctly with such an image.

Try

body .socials a {
    font-size: 1.3em;
}

in the same Custom CSS field (or WordPress’ Additional CSS field).

This is more specific than the previous one.

Update
—
After disabling and enabling the “qTranslate-X” and “Integration: Yoast SEO & qTranslate-X” plugins and saving permalinks, the edit metadata options in yoast are now available in my website.
Seems like the “turn it off and on again” computer engineer joke still applies.

Hello Zed,

I come back again to my “Audio Icon” problem. In the meanwhile I pleased also a colleague of mine, who is programmer, to also check the matter. She found out that the audio icon indeed is not defined in your “fontfaces.css”. All other icons are defined, like e.g. “video-icon” in this way:
.icon-video:before { content: “\e953”; }

But a code like
.icon-audio:before { content: “\????”; }
is missing.

I tried to add this one:
.icon-audio:before { content: “\e950”; }

… but it also does not work and would be overwritten with an update of your theme anyway.

Please could you check this case again? I still have deactivated my CSS-minification Plugin (I just reactivated the Social-Icon-Plugin, but this has no influence on the current problem most probably anyway.

Thank you very much in advance 🙂

[jasoncollege24]

Found it by overriding the :focus outline style specified by the user agent style sheet.

For anyone else looking to resolve a similar styling issue, pages that have any style elements unspecified will have them specified by any browser that has it’s own built in styling elements, such as Google Chrome. (User agent style sheet) Overriding it is as easy as specifying that style, and the desired options in your CSS files.

Hi Zed,

Just following up as I didn’t get a response to my last post. Since then, I deleted my child theme that was giving me the error and created a new child theme by downloading the extra socials child theme. It is working now with zero errors so that is one issue fixed.

However, I still need help with the following:

1) Adding additional social icons – I did exactly as you instructed but I am still only seeing the 5 social icons (that didn’t need to be added to the CSS as I was just replacing images), but not the additional 4 that I added into the CSS array as advised above. I checked the names of the socials in the parent theme and 2 out of the 4 I have renamed exactly the same (ie. ‘Etsy’,’RSS’,). However, I just noticed that there are no original social icons for ‘Bloglovin’’ or ‘Snapchat’. Does this mean I can’t use these 2 icons? If I can, what else do I need to do to make them appear? If I can’t, that still doesn’t explain why ‘Etsy’ and ‘RSS’ aren’t showing up. Is there a limit of 5 social accounts or is it unlimited?

2) I still can’t figure out how to replace images in the Jetpack plugin. All I can find online are instructions on how to modify the look of the buttons but not how to replace them with your own images. Can you advise where to save my images in my cpanel and what css I need to add to replace them? I’ve searched Jetpack’s website and forum and can’t find how to replace the images.

3) Can you instruct me on how to replace/add my own images to the primary menu bar so that instead of the menu header typed in in the menu field, it would be an image? (jpeg or png) Would I use the custom URL option?

Thanks in advance for your help, Zed! I really want to get my website up and running soon!

I managed to do that using custom template. Here’s the code:

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: Blog
 *
 * A custom page template for showing posts.
 *
 * The "Template Name:" bit above allows this to be selectable
 * from a dropdown menu on the edit page screen.
 *
 * @link https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
 *
 * @package Fluida
 *
 */

get_header(); ?>

	<div id="container" class="<?php echo fluida_get_layout_class(); ?>">
		<main id="main" role="main" class="main">
			<?php cryout_before_content_hook(); ?>
			
			<?php 
				$paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
				$the_query = new WP_Query( 'post_status=publish&orderby=date&order=desc&posts_per_page=' . get_option( 'posts_per_page' ) . '&paged=' . $paged );
			 ?>

			<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>

				<div id="content-masonry" <?php cryout_schema_microdata( 'blog' ); ?>>
					<?php
					while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
					/*
					 * Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
					 * If you want to override this in a child theme, then include a file
					 * called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
					 */
					get_template_part( 'content/content', get_post_format() );
					endwhile;
					?>
				</div><!--content-masonry-->
				<?php fluida_pagination();

			// If no content, include the "No posts found" template.
			else :
				get_template_part( 'content/content', 'notfound' );
			endif;

			cryout_after_content_hook(); ?>
		</main><!-- #main -->

		<?php fluida_get_sidebar(); ?>
	</div><!-- #container -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

On the other hand, I am sure there is no such color specified in the theme’s code, as that border is only visible on Chrome and most likely other Webkit-based browsers (like Safari).

The contact form inputs use a :focus border color while the search form does not set such a color, leaving the browser to use its own default style rules.

The option applies to post lists (blog, categories, archives) only. In single posts the meta bar is always at the top, under the title.

Nope… I use Chrome, and it doesn’t do the same thing on my contact & feedback form, or the old hand-written version of my contact form, so I don’t think it’s just a browser feature. Pretty sure that border, and it’s color are specified somewhere in the code.

Hello again – thank you for your response! I tried deactivating the other plugins one by one and found it which it was, and after updating it the site now works as should.

Thank you so much! 🙂

[bryanhiggs]

I find the decision to require images in the columns to be a rather strange one, as it severely limits what I can do with them. I could use a light background image, but based on what I see when you view the columns on a small screen, the text is moved down below the image, so that would make things look quite strange.

While viewing [typically light] text on top of an image might look artistic, that would not be my choice for what I want to do. I’m more interested in presenting content. My old eyes aren’t too happy with light text on dark or busy backgrounds, either.

Can you give me a feel for what you think columns might be used for, given this image restriction? Other suggestions?

[Zed]

Menus and widget areas are different entities in WordPress (with different markup) so the two are not easily interchangeable.

I’m having exactly the same issue. Looks awesome on full size screen but when viewed on a mobile device the slider text disappears. How can I change the font size for mobile versions?

[pawsome]

This reply is private.

[Zed]

Your site appears to be using a plugin that applies the icomoon font on all ‘icon’ class elements, overriding the theme’s own icons. Additionally, you use a CSS minification plugin that complicates the plugin identification.

The ‘standard’ type is not a specifically handled by WordPress like the post types, meaning that the icon has nothing to link to.

The strings feature is intended for the single line of text fields that are present in the theme.
Posts and pages are handled directly by Polylang as you can create separate instances of each post/page for each language.

Let me have a look…as far as I know I don’t use any menu plugins… but will check the others and see if that have that in their css…

Glad someone else is mistified as well 🙂 Thought I was going nuts!

Hi Zed,

Thanks so much for your detailed response! I really appreciate your help! If I could afford to, I would just hire someone to do it for me but I can’t work due to health reasons thus my income is very tight which is why I’m trying to do all of this myself. So I appreciate your help to figure this out! Here is my response with further questions.

1) That’s exactly what I have done but I am still only seeing the 5 social icons (that didn’t need to be added to the CSS as I was just replacing images), but not the additional 4 that I added into the CSS array as advised above. I just checked the names of the socials in the parent theme and 2 out of the 4 I have renamed exactly the same (ie. ‘Etsy’,’RSS’,). However, I just noticed that there are no original social icons for Bloglovin’ or Snapchat. Does this mean I can’t use these 2 icons? If I can, what else do I need to do? If I can’t, that still doesn’t explain why the other 2 newly added icons aren’t showing up. Is 5 the limit or can you have an unlimited number?

2 a) In order to get rid of the error message in the customization screen of my child theme, I need to deactivate it to test it as you have recommended but that means I will lose hours of work. Is there any way to save the customizations already done somewhere for reference or do I have to manually write them down one by one in order to apply them again to the child theme once fixed? And will the previewing of the child theme tell me what is wrong with it or will I still not know why I’m getting the error message?

2 b) Do you think it would be better, since I am not very tech savvy or knowledgable about CSS, PHP, etc, to just use the custom CSS area in the parent theme of Nirvana or the custom CSS widget in Jetpack in order to customize the parent theme without losing anything with theme updates? Or do you recommend fixing my child theme and customizing it that way?

3) Ok, thanks. I kinda figured that but I wasn’t sure if modifying the social icons through the theme or Jetpack was better.

4) The company I bought the blog branding kit from gave me instructions to basically add all of the images into a text widget box for the sidebar and then copy and paste image URL’s into the box in order to link to the images. I haven’t tried this yet as I wanted to try to follow the theme instructions first. But would this work just as well? (Here is a portion of the instructions copied below since I can’t upload the file.)

The next step is where you will need to place some code and the URL code from the graphic file, you uploaded. Place the code below exactly as you see it – in the widget text content box.

For just graphics – that don’t need a link to them (header images):

For graphics – that you want to link:

Example:

If you are uploading your social media icons it might be easier for you to use one box – just for the icons.

5) Is there a way I can add you as an administrator temporarily so that you can see my website for yourself since it isn’t live yet? That way you can see the error message and what types of customizations I’m trying to make?
