Just checking to see if there is anyone willing to help an intermediate level person with this? I’m not quite a newbie but not a programmer either. Nothing I’ve tried works. Or is this one of those things that you only get help with if you have Pro?

Just want to understand the dynamics before I go in and break things.

As usual any and all suggestions or examples will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi All,

Just for quick clarification. I saw that last year Menaka S. wrote,

You can probably disable categories and tags from post metas display.
Also, hook into __after_article to display categories and tags to the bottom of the post.

I’m just not sure exactly what it means to “hook into __after_article.”
I’ve only performed basic edits when it comes to hooks and actions in the new version of customizr.

Any and all suggestions or examples will be appreciated.

Thanks

Unfortunately, that didn’t work either. But thanks for the quick reply.

Much Appreciated.

If anyone has had success with this feel free to share

Thanks

DB,

Good point,
I see you updated the “Remove Post Meta Details snippet so that it works again.

https://themesandco.com/snippet/remove-post-meta-details/

I can use that instead of my “class-content-post_metas.php”. The snippet not working was the only reason why I created it.

From the other posts and snippets I figured hooks were the way to go but I’m just unsure which hooks I use or the proper syntax to separate the metas I want on top from the one’s I want on the bottom. The “moving to the bottom” snippet makes it look like it’s all or nothing. Or it is nested in such a way that I don’t understand yet.

I’ll figure it out.

Thanks,

Quick Update.

I upgraded to 3.2.5. The title link works when centered now.

Thanks for your help.

Deetech,

I’m curious about your suggestion.
Once I make that page template how do I get it to show up as one of my featured pages choices?
Is it as simple as making a blank page with that as the template?

Thanks in advance,

jmw

Marking this topic resolved.
Thanks

Hi All,

Just a quick update.
For those who wanted to keep the button look but have a tag logo I found this Bootstrap Button Code Generator:

Hope this helps

Just a quick update.

I found a brief write up on how to build the grid just using CSS here:
https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/add-masonry-grid-layouts-to-your-wordpress-site-with-just-css/

It speaks of both masonry grids and standard. I went the standard grid route using the following code:

/* Grid Layout Custom CSS */
body.search-results article, body.blog article, body.archive article {
width: 49.5%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
text-align: left;
margin-bottom: 10px;
position: relative;
}
@media only screen and (max-device-width : 1024px) and (orientation : portrait)
{
body.search-results article, body.blog article, body.archive article
{
width: 49%;
}
}
/* Additional CSS for Responsiveness */
@media only screen and (max-width : 768px)
{
body.search-results article, body.blog article, body.archive article {
width: 49%;
}
}
@media only screen and (max-width : 480px)
{
body.search-results article, body.blog article, body.archive article
{
width: 100%;
}
}
.article-container .round-div {
-webkit-border-radius: 0;
-moz-border-radius: 0;
border-radius: 0;
}
.widget-front.hover .round-div, article.hover .round-div {
-webkit-transform: scale(1);
-moz-transform: scale(1);
-ms-transform: scale(1);
-o-transform: scale(1);
transform: scale(1);
}

So far everything works fine. Such as this example/test search results page
https://qt.greengriot.com/?s=Standard

Although I didn’t use hooks and filters for this task, I’ve found a few helpful tricks for adjusting my thumbnails and the front page.

So thanks again, Guys

Zulf,

That’s great. If I can keep the fading slider too using Sequel should be more than enough.

Thanks so much,

Cheers!

A Pinterest like layout would be nice but your basic layout would be enough for me.

Thanks for the tips.

RC,

Thanks. As I said in the original post the plan was to copy the file TO the Child theme and edit them from there.
What I didn’t understand was where I should be making changes: Featured page or post listing in general.

I was referring to the 3.1.14 because that is the version that is downloaded from the demo page and those were the files I was referring to. (Now that there is an upgrade Someone may want to change that.) The version I installed from the WordPress dashboard was recently updated. I am now using 3.1.24.

I hadn’t thought about hooks. All the other posts referred to the grid layout as an HTML or CSS issue.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

If any one does any more experimenting with posts in a grid layout. They should definitely add it to the snippets library. Or perhaps it could be added to the latest version.

Grid layouts seem to be a highly requested feature these days.
It would be nice to have the option cleanly without worrying about clunking it up with a plugin. Hence learning about hooks…

Thanks for your help.

Hi Ryan,

I have version 3.1.14. the “class-content-post_list.php” file is in the folder marked “parts”.

I downloaded it from the demo site as opposed to the dashboard just in case that makes a difference.

Hope that helps

jmw

Small correction to my question:
Should I be working in the “class-content-post_list.php” or the “class-content-featured_pages.php,” or both:?

Thanks,

jmw
