• Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    Post April 22, 2015 update, the featured posts in the upper slots of this site are now showing excerpts and tags, when before they were only showing thumbs, title and date (as pictured in the normal twenty fourteen default).

    This is a child theme but with only very light customization. When I preview the default I still see the excerpts. Any insights on what might have happened?

    I’m sorry I forgot the link! Here is the site: https://pinkmenot.com/

    I see the same thing – I’ve had to revert to 1.3 for the moment

    Thanks for the response. I’m going to go ahead and comment out the additional info in the stylesheet, but I’m hoping that this issue will get resolved.

    what additional info are you commenting out?

    You can fix it by adding this to the Featured Content area in your child theme:

    .featured-content .entry-content {
    display: none;
    }

    .featured-content footer.entry-meta {
    display: none;
    }

    There was some weird top padding that may or may not have been related to this so I adjusted that as well.

    I hope the theme gurus see this and advise!

    what file does this go in?

    Looks like some of the 4.2 updates had bad copies of Twenty Fourteen – it’s now been fixed so you should be able to download a new copy of the theme and any problems should be fixed.

    Hello, we’re very sorry about this issue. Please download a fresh copy of the theme and it will be fine. One of the servers had an incomplete copy of the theme, and if you happened to update to that, then you could have had this problem. The issue has been fixed, all the servers have been checked, and the complete theme is fine now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Updated again. Still have the same problem.

    It also messed up the position of all my widgets.

    Dealing with the same issue. Solution of Amandaj333 just deletes the featured content/slider from my page altogether.
    i’m using a child theme, so i’m not sure why the update changed my layout…

    Deleted it and re-installed it – but no change – the featured posts still show as complete posts down the page instead of just the featured image and title

    I would also like to get rid of the date/author/comment showing on the featured posts in the slider. How can this be done? I tried the code suggestion above in my style.css file, but that didn’t make any change. Thanks!

    @boredtodeathbookclub — I suspect it’s a functionality issue with the parent theme — somewhere in the parent php files, there’s a missing character or something’s messed up. I poked around a little bit but would rather get some info from a person who worked on it. I’m sure they didn’t plan for this addition; it’s not in the screenshot.

    For the stylesheet fix, did you try putting it below all the other info in the “featured content” section of the stylesheet (not at the top). That might solve that problem.

    @mbfearn this should do that:

    .featured-content .entry-meta {
    display: none;
    }

    Make sure to hard refresh a few times to make sure the site is truly updated and not showing a cached version. Also everyone make sure to do this in a child theme!
