featured post

Hi Mary

Could you please post your site URL so that it will be easy for us to debug further more.

Thank You!!!

Hi Mary,

First, I suggest you read the theme’s user manual as it will answer most of your questions, if not all. You can find it at https://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/

As for homepage slideshow, it consists of featured posts ( https://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/#banner ). Once you click the slide title, it will get you to the specific post page. This is how it works. There is no “pop-up” page though. You can see how this works at theme demo website at https://themedemos.webmandesign.eu/modern/

If you post your website URL, I can check whether slideshow works the way it should for you.

thank you both for responding and for pointing me to the demo page. It’s working the same way my site is working so it’s working as it should. I ended up adding a ‘home’ link in the top menu as you have so it’s an obvious way to return to home page.

The way the featured page/image would drop down on the page made it feel somewhat like a ‘pop up’ page.

I have been reading the manual which helped greatly in learning to set up the featured posts

On my home page, posts that are not featured display at the bottom of the page in a white box which include the date and the text ‘continue reading. Is there any way to remove the date?

Is there a way to make these non featured posts display on all pages?

Being translation-ready, is this related to being multi-language?

Thanks

Hi,

Is there any way to remove the date?
To remove the date on your posts you need to use custom CSS (use the one that fits you):

/* Remove the date everywhere: */
.entry-meta .published { display: none; }

/* Remove the date only in posts list: */
.posts .published { display: none; }

/* Remove the whole post meta section in posts list: */
.posts .entry-meta { display: none; }

Is there a way to make these non featured posts display on all pages?
What do you mean? You would like to display the posts on a single post page? Well, this is kind of possible with enabling “Related posts” module of Jetpack plugin. You can see these at the bottom of single post pages of the theme demo website.

Being translation-ready, is this related to being multi-language?
Yes. You can try a plugin such as Polylang to set up your website as multi-lingual. Surely, you need to translate the theme into the other requested languages.

If you are new to WordPress I suggest reading/watching the tips from https://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/#help-wp

Hi

Thanks for your patience with my questions and for the the display:none suggestion. I am somewhat familiar with wordpress but I find there’s still a lot more to learn.

Regarding the display of the non-featured posts:

I have set up pages. The pages I have used for the top navigation links. I have set up posts. Some posts are featured and appear in the slideshow. Other non-featured posts appear on the homepage below the slideshow.
What I would like is for the non-featured posts to appear on all pages and all post ‘pages’ but I do not want two way related meaning I don’t want pages to show on all post ‘pages’ I don’t know if I am relating this is a clear way but I will explore jetpacks related post offerings.

If you understand what it is I am trying to accomplish you may see a clearer way of doing this. In short I would like all nonfeatured posts to be linked (with thumbnail image) at the bottom of all pages…sort of like a footer. Perhaps this is really outside the scope of being specifically modern template related. Thanks for your time with help that you’ve provided.

Hi,

If you would like to display blog posts on your pages, you will need to code this functionality into the theme as it is not possible out of the box. Or possibly try searching for a plugin that could do this. But I suggest to rethink this approach. Is it really necessary to display your blog posts on each page? Maybe all you need for those specific pages is to use sidebar page template (see the page layout at theme demo website) and add Recent Posts widget in the sidebar?

But if you really need to place posts list at the bottom of each page, you need to code this functionality into the theme as this is not standard in any theme I’ve seen, actually.

ok thanks, I am rethinking this. Can you tell me a way to deal with this issue I am finding? I have embedded a pdf file into a page. The pdf appears to have a gray cast (overlay) to it (instead of looking white) I switched from the pdf to a png image version and it too looks gray so it is something with the template. I don’t want to remove the ‘overlay’ because that seems to define the content area. I’m trying (trial and error) z-index but haven’t determined yet which sections should be done.
