Museum Core theme Modifications

Hi Jamie —

The first issue is actually where the previous/next page pagination should be. It’s a good catch because it’s not displaying. I’ll fix it and submit an update for review. Should get resolved in the next week.

For your second issue, add this to your custom css:

.home .postmetadata {
     display: none;
}

That will hide the meta data that appears under each post on the main blog page but not the single post pages.

Your third question would need to be solved either by building a child theme and adding some code to support some kind of custom background unique to each page or a plugin, but I don’t know any plugins that do that off the top of my head.

Last, re: excerpts v. posts — no. You can’t do both. You can use the More tag in the toolbar when you’re writing the post to craft the excerpt that displays before it breaks, but it would require a child theme that alters the main blog feed’s loop to display a full post and then the subsequent posts as excerpts.

FWIW, here are the actual code changes. This is the entire (updated) contents of /parts/part-navigation.php:

<nav class="navigation clearfix">
	<?php if (function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } else { ?>
		<ul class="pager">
			<?php if ( is_singular() ) { ?>
				<li class="previous"><?php next_post_link( '%link', '&larr; %title' ); ?></li>
				<li class="next"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '%title &rarr;' ); ?></li>
			<?php } else { ?>
				<li class="previous"><?php next_posts_link(__('&larr; Older Entries','museum-core')); ?></li>
				<li class="next"><?php previous_posts_link(__('Newer Entries &rarr;','museum-core')); ?></li>
			<?php } ?>
		</ul>
	<?php } ?>
</nav>

…but, as I said, the update should be forthcoming. Just needs to get reviewed by the review team.

BTW, for future reference, if you have questions specific to the theme, they can be posted here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/museum-core

I just got a ping today and didn’t notice that you posted it 2 days ago. I’m guessing it got moved and/or tagged by the moderators. Posting it in the actual theme support forums will make sure I’m notified.

Hi Chris,

Many thanks for all your help.

I’ve had a chance to try and sort the second preference of dissapearing tags on the main page but seem to be having a little trouble. I’m really not too savvy with CSS so that may be thev problem.

I’ve added the above code to my Jetpack CSS. I added it on a line starting under some previous code I have on there so it now looks like this:

.form-allowed-tags {
display: none;
}

.home .postmetadata {
display: none;
}

Any help is much appreciated.

Jamie.

So the .home class isn’t being used on your home page. So do this (this adds a few more rules to make it look a bit nicer:

.blog .postmetadata,
.blog .icon {
     display: none;
}

.blog article .entry {
     margin-bottom: 20px;
}

The first issue should be fixed now with 2.0.3 (which is now live). If you don’t like those previous post/next post links, you can hide them with css:

.single .navigation {
     display: none;
}
