CLAPS!

Much agreed here @code-monkey. I for one thought it was going to be an actual website builder, tried it out today and was horrified. Basically, just GUI and it’s just an editor and I didn’t feel it was that much better than the current editor IMO.

But yea, I agree it should become a plugin and it absolutely shouldn’t be forced on the masses, with the very real possibility of breaking so many websites — that won’t be fun at all for my client websites, I’ve already begun installing the classic editor. Sigh

How do I like and share your review??? haha 100% EXACTLY.

This is absolutely ridiculous, I am so frustrated with the team wanting to push this absurdity, so focused on trying to beat other theme builders, or get up to date? This is NOT the way of doing it.

I agree with you, it DOES NOT BELONG IN WORDPRESS CORE.

hey donnap, just wanted to say I like the simplistic-ness of your site, a lot! It makes it look amazing, never thought of doing that! Prolly wont – I’ve come to far on my site. Anyways, keep it up – its looking great!

Just thought I’d share!

Alrighty then, point taken… Thanks again, you have been absolutely amazing, and are a genuine and true asset to the forum/theme community!!!

**If anyone sees this thread in the future, I have removed the paper.li widget I was referring to earlier but I have left the sidebar in place, in case I need to use it down the road!

See ya!

Resolved with awesomeness!

Ahh, ok… I’ll stop pushing then…

Oh and no worries… Life comes first. Matter of fact, I am thinking of removing it from my home page, I checked with google my load speed and other components and it seems that the embed of Paper.li might not be the best thing for my home page anyway. Slowing site down etc.

So, forget about having only 4 posts on home page and then 6 on others and all the mumbo jumbo, if anyone ever gets to it, my updated questions is simply cleaning up the code above cause I have a feeling its doing something twice…

That’s all for now, thanks guys! Have a great night!

Also, I dont mean to be pushy, but do you seriously not have a donation link? I’m almost begging. hehe I’m truly grateful and a coffee dont cost much. ^-^

Haha Yes it’s whats actually in index.php. No Worries! I hear ya, late here too. Hope you get good rest! Cya!

Thanks a bunch! It worked! So grateful! You mind taking a look at this and seeing if I cluttered it up a bit? I used a piece of code from the thread you linked me to but saw no results. Then, I added the code you initially mentioned above and it worked. Should I remove anything from here?

<div class="post-list group">

<?php $i = 1;								// initialize the post counter
echo '<div class="post-row">';				// create the post-row div
while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>		<!-- while we have posts -->
	<?php get_template_part('content'); ?>		<!-- display the post -->

	<?php if ($i % 2 == 0) {				// if we've shown 2 posts
		echo '</div>';						// close this post-row div

		// BEGIN insert my custom widget after 6 posts
		if ($i % 6== 0) {					// if we've displayed 6 posts
			echo '<div class="my-ad-widget">';		// create the widget div
			dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-lowercontent');		// show the widget
			echo '</div>'; 				 	// close the widget div
		}
		// END insert my custom widget

    echo '<div class="post-row">';			// create the next post-row div
	}

	$i++;									// increment the post counter
endwhile;
echo '</div>';								// close the trailing post-row div
?>

</div><!--/.post-list-->
		<?php dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-lowercontent'); ?>

			<?php get_template_part('inc/pagination'); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

	</div><!--/.pad-->

It works, so its fine, just didn’t know if my site would be slower due to a repeat in code, or something.

Also, is there any way, that I can get my Paper.li (The XinoGamez Journal) to appear only on home page and only show 4 posts above it, then in all other pages afterward to NOT show the Paper.li but to show 6 posts?

Thanks again, my site is nearing completion. This theme is so wonderful, I had no idea it could be so editable.

Hmm, I just took a look and I dont think my theme has sidebar ads. So will wait for your response… If I would have to install the latest theme, sigh that would take some hard consideration. But please let me know if I can proceed with these steps or if its not pertaining to my version.

Thanks a whole lot! (:

Hey bdbrown! We meet again! I think I should clarify I am using the old Hueman theme, I found a few things with the new theme update that I didn’t care for, and while some great features were added, others were removed that I was using. I hope this does not disqualify me from assistance.

I felt I should mention this, as I have a feeling the code above is related to the new theme style. I will however check the thread you linked. ^-^ Thanks!

Very well then, thanks again.

I truly appreciate your assistance and dedication. I also join in gratitude to Alex for such and awesome theme. See ya around!

RESOLVED WITH THE MOST EXCELLENT OF HELP!
Quality people with Quality results!
^-^

@trance My Pleasure!

@bdbrown, thank you so much for all of your help. I have accomplished all of these things I listed. On #4 I decided to go a slightly different route.

Oh, there is another thing I am wanting but do u want me to open a new thread? Its regarding placing the Paper.li embed I have currently on my home page in a footer widget and actually placing it in the post content area (as in the posts showing is currently 6, well the bottom two would be removed and then there will be 4 recent posts showing, in that lower area id like the Paper.li to be neatly if possible) Thanks again for everything!

Also, do you have a link as a tip jar? Paypal etc? ^-^ Thanks!

Hey Trance4eva, this is how I did it:
Theme Options > Blog > Heading
In the heading section i typed this:

<a href="linkhere"><marquee class="GeneratedMarquee" direction="left" scrollamount="3" behavior="scroll">Title/Information Here</marquee></a>

Its basic HTML but its been doing the job so far, so hope this helps you! Simply replace (linkhere) and (Title/Information Here) with whatever you want.

Yo bdbrown, that’s simply amazing! Thanks! I must admit I’m a little hesitant to try all that, but you dont learn unless you try… and I like diving deep. So, I’ll let you know the outcome once I attempt it. Thanks Again!

Whoa, bdbrown. Thank You so much, and the point is well taken on future requests so that other will find answers easier. My apologies for placing all on one thread.

Well thanks to you 1. and 2. Have been knocked out of the park! My site already looks so much better!

Now I am stuck on 3. I am in the archive.php but I dont know exact what code to alter or how to turn on descriptions, sorry im new to this coding. Something here perhaps?

<?php if ((category_description() != '') && !is_paged()) : ?>
			<div class="notebox">
				<?php echo category_description(); ?>

I am also afraid that I will have trouble in the part u ask to tweak it in css if it comes down to it.

Either way, thank you so much, for all your time and efforts.

I’ve deleted the plugin, as beautiful as it was, it messed up a lot of things on my theme. Thanks Though! Please let me know if it ever gets updated! ^-^
