Hi,

@bph the Navigation Menu block is specifically the one I was looking for so I can create a custom sidebar to be displayed on specific pages only. GeneratePress Elements use the block editor to build that sidebar, hence I went looking for the navigation menu block.

@talldanwp I see the new menu block in the Gutenberg plugin, a vertical menu is what I need to add. I have a deadline of 11th Sept so 5.9 isn’t an option (still appreciating the team effort behind it!).

Is there no other method to select a pre-existing menu from the editor?

Thanks,
Paul.

Hi Sybre,

Previously the meta description on my example would have been:

“The opening paragraph should be between 120 and 155 characters to display properly on Google search engine results pages (SERPS).”

Since updating, the metabox is auto completed with:

“The opening paragraph should be between 120 and 155 characters to display properly on Google search engine results pages (SERPS). WordPress software is designed…”

Flagged as too long – 161 characters.

I know I can override it manually but I would like to avoid that for authors.

Thanks,
Paul.

I’ll have to read up on Flexbox – as it is right now, the 3rd event starts a new row between 768-1090px and the featured images is blown out. Doesn’t look good. Any idea when more styling options will be available?

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your reply. Looking better now.

How can I have events span 3 on a single row from 768x upwards?

Thanks,
Paul.

Although on the last site I linked to the single post is not able to display the category it’s assigned to, even thought that’s correct in wp admin, and works from the main menu link.

Yet this is configured identically, and works fine…

Still confused with this. With Total theme activated I’ve created a new post type ‘Articles’ that so far has one category ‘About’ – this category has one post in.

When I create a menu link to the About category, no posts found is returned?

Hi AJ,

I’ve tried resaving permalinks yeah. Switching to TwentyTwenty didn’t make any difference either. Just tried creating the same post type on a vanilla Total install, and adding post type categories as menu items will display the posts within each one. GP and TwentyTwenty both return ‘nothing found’.

Thanks,
Paul.

Thanks, I’ve figured it out now. Like most of the block editors functionality, the UI is terrible.

I see the different sidebars in the editor now. Confusion on my part.

Could you recommend the CSS?

Thanks

The device is not in tablet mode, no scroll bars appear. Dell Latitude 5480, Win 10, not a touch screen laptop. Problem repeats across Edge, Chrome, and FF with Windows set to desktop mode.

Try this – https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-media-categories/

You’ll probably need to install the plugin first and create the folders in your dashboard.

Hi Dan,

The author of GeneratePress has a number of plugins in the repository, all of which are of the same quality as the theme itself.

You can create the blocks you’re describing with one of Toms plugins – WP Shows Posts – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-show-posts/

There is a Pro version of both this plugin and the GP theme.

Thanks,
Paul.

IMO, to meet your criteria of fast, simple, and functional, a sound choice would be GeneratePress – excellent theme, excellent support community.
