unlinked areas on the post entry in a grid

  • Hello, the post-entries in a grid have some areas without a linking, that brings inconsistence, distracts and is truly an usability issue:

    1. first of all the dark area around the title is not linked like a title itself(the hand icon turns to a pointer). A simple way around is to wrap a title in a link and not a link in a title. So, two lines in the content-page.php(Design->Editor) need to be adjusted:

    line 31:

    <?php the_title( '<a href="' . esc_url( pictorico_get_link_url() ) . '" rel="bookmark"><h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1></a>' ); ?>

    line 33:

    <?php the_title( '<a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" rel="bookmark"><h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1></a>' ); ?>

    2. The area up above the title when the title is longer then posting-date field(plus entry-format field, if there is one). So, a custom CSS will do the trick:

    .blog .site-content .entry-header,
.archive .site-content .entry-header,
.search .site-content .entry-header {
	height:0px;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 885px) {
  .blog .site-content .entry-header,
  .archive .site-content .entry-header,
  .search .site-content .entry-header {
	height:0px;
  }
}

    3. There is a small area around the date field, that also isn’t linked, but I think it is not so important as the two other.

    !!! this are some brute hacks, so please wait for a developer to look at that and write an answer, before you blast your beloved blogs away;)

  • Thanks for sharing your tweaks!

    I haven’t tested them, but just a heads-up for anyone making the first change, that it should be done in a child theme, otherwise the tweaks will be wiped out when updating the theme.

    The second change could be done either in a child theme, or using a custom CSS plugin like Jetpack’s Custom CSS module, or a standalone custom CSS plugin.

    Hello, unfortunately there is a big typo in my first post, the changes needs to be made in content-home.php. I’m sorry for that.

    And like Kathryn allready wrote, set a child theme before you do anythyng like changing the main php functions and so on. “Hot changing” is always a bad idea.
