Hi,

Thanks again for your time.

Just a couple of questions.

So, do I need to get the pro version before I can enter the Meta Desc and Focus KW for Yoast?

and,

If you need to code for putting in the Child category only, is that code you can provide to my developer and my version of CSVIFW Pro or would I have to wait for a new general release? (if that’s something you would do anyway!)?

Many thanks,
Andy

Hi,

Thanks for this.

May I ask what you put in the category column to get the entry into the child theme only?

Many thanks!

Hi,

Many thanks for the swift response!

I’m definitely interested in using the pro version if I can get exactly what I need.

So, I tried the separator but the upload added the post into both the parent category and child category as well. That’s great but in this instance I need it just to go into the child/sub category. Can that be done?

When I go to the SEO section I cannot choose the field to map to. I assume that’s because I’m on the FREE VERSION and because I’m not using All-in-one-SEO?

So ultimately, I’m looking at populating the following fields in this screen grab…

…they are Title, Category (just child), Tags, Thumbnail, Meta Desc, Focus KW – and the last two are Yoast.

Is this possible?

Many thanks for your time,
Andy

Hey,

Thanks for this too, I’ll check it out!

Hi,

Thanks for the advice.

Child themes are a level above me but I’ll read through them and see what I can do.

Andy

That’s great, many thanks.

Also, is there any way of treating individual albums differently?

Maybe there is a way of having titles under one slideshow and not on others for example?

Thats great opajaap,

I’ll digest the info and apply them to the site.

Thanks

Hi opajaap,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I see the function of fix/center/top etc. That’s great. I switched to ‘top’ and it stops the images making everything below ‘flicking’ up and down – so a good improvement. But I still have an issue with portrait heights.

I have put some sizes on images on a test page for you to look at with their original sizes.

https://andrewwadephotography.com/test/

There are 6 images. The first two have been cropped for a 900 depth and the portrait version is actually a landscape to keep the depth the same (but I have a problem of the pausing and recropping every time). So these are two landscape images really but the depth is always uniform from top to bottom and make the site look good. This is the aim but without having to make portraits into landscapes

Image 3 and 4 are uploaded with 900 depth but image 4 is a real portrait. Here the two images always appear as different depth. Even though the site does not jump about, there are gaps for the landscape as it cannot fit the height – or the portrait does not fit to landscape (depending on your view!). This is a little confusing as the originals are both 900 deep. I’d like the portrait to fit the landscape height.

Image 5 and 6 are camera originals. I have not selected ‘resize images for upload’ and I get a warning to do the max size of 1024×768 but these are the easiest to use as I do not need to resize these before uploading. If I can make these appear like images 1 & 2, this would be perfect.

What I also want to avoid is having big gaps between the title and the slideshow and the bottom of the page where I have widgets. I need to keep the site ‘tight’ from top to bottom

So the basic question is, can I upload images like 5 & 6 and have them align at the top and appear like 1 & 2 where a true portait and landscape appear as the same height?

My column with is 950, Max slideshow width and height are 900, there is no resizing on upload set and the setting for the vertical alignment on the sideshow is Top (because this always has an image right up to the title)

I can make you adminstrator is it easier for you to look at my settings?

I hope you have a solution! Many thanks for your time!

Hi,

@kim296. Thanks, I think I need to change the CSS but am not to sure.

@bethany. I’ve attached a screen shot of my home page (you cant go to the site as I have a redirect in place).

https://andrewwadephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/homeposts.jpg

I have different sections (events, portraits, weddings, products/commercial etc) to my site and I have a page for each one as well as a category for each one. All posts are categorised so I have a link from my ‘events’ page which links to all ‘event’ posts, and so on. Thats pretty simple but my homepage displays ALL posts as in the screenshot – one after the other.

What I want is to delete all of the posts on the front page. On other pages I need to have links to specific categories, showing the posts within them still.

It seems that my theme homepage options are only accessible via the css styling sheets and I’m a little unsure of what element to change for the homepage without affecting the rest

Thanks!

(ps bit of a novice at WP!)

Hi Bethany,

Thanks for the swift reply. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to work. I want no posts to be displayed on the home page and you are forced to choose a page.

If I leave both options without a selection (i.e -select-), then when you update the page it just reverts to ‘your latest posts’.

Do you think there is another option?

Thanks
Andy

Thanks Max, I’ll give that a try.

Can you do that to individual text widgets do you think? I now have 20 Advanced Text Widgets on my site and they are in slightly different combinations with the different title lengths

Ps, can you tell I’m a beginner with WP…….;-)

Hi Max,

Thanks for getting back to me. I think the theme (Layers Theme) I have is affecting the output.

It is the title field that I want to be aligned. The theme allows adding the advanced widget but the theme displays the title as in this example where I have 4 advanced texts boxes next to each other

https://andrewwadephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/title-PHP_2.png

I just wanted to move the white titles in a different position and thought that this can be controlled with html tags in the title field itself like the main text below the title field.

Maybe I need to go into the theme CSS?

Thanks
Andy

Apologies if you try the link it does redirect to another site but the issue is still the same….

Thanks

Thanks Megan – a great help.

Do you know how/where to find out whether the width is fixed on a theme?

Andy
