Hi Sam,

Your observation is correct and a read more link is not included in manually entered excerpts.
( ref: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/the_excerpt/#more-information )

To programmatically add a read more link to those excerpts, you can use “get_the_excerpt” filter, and the following tutorial has a working code example:
https://www.geekwire.com/devblog/controlling-wordpress-excerpts-generating-read-links/

(look for the code snippet with starting comment “//display read more link when there is a manually entered exceprt”)

I hope this helps!

Hi @vivien82,

Thank you for bringing this forward and I’ve passed this on to the concerned team.

Appreciate your report and you can follow the progress at:

Hi @mswas,

The Monochrome Pro child theme is different from rest of the themes as it uses the hook “genesis_after” and not the “genesis_footer”, to show the footer (outside of “site-container” div).

You’ll find the code that repositions the footer in theme’s “functions.php” file.
(please look for comment lines “// Remove site footer.” and “// Add site footer.”)

I hope this helps!

Hi @sahdow,

I couldn’t reproduce this on my test website, using the latest WordPress ( 4.9.7 ), Genesis ( 2.6.1 ), Genesis Sample child theme ( 2.6.0 ), WooCommerce ( 3.4.4 ) and Genesis Connect for WooCommerce ( 0.9.10 ).

In case the issue still persists with all other plugins disabled, you can file a technical ticket ( https://my.studiopress.com/help/ ), along with the link to your website and any further information.

Hi Nicola ( @webcoast ),

To give you some idea, the plugin offers a builtin interface to register custom taxonomies for the listings ( “Types”, “Bedrooms” & “Price” etc ) and their terms.

The listings filter or the search form that is shown on the theme’s demo website ( https://demo.studiopress.com/agentpress/ ) uses plugin’s built-in widget “AgentPress – Listing Search Widget”. It allows you to pick only specific custom taxonomies and show their terms as a filtering option.

Based on these points, yes you can register your own custom taxonomies like land width, depth, garages spaces etc and only show the specific taxonomies in that search or filtering form.

Your observation about the “range” based filtration is also spot on. The plugin is designed to filter listing based on the attached taxonomy term and not that term’s actual value or label.

I hope these points will help!

Hi @tianasmith,

Thanks for the update and glad my message helped.

The suggestions in my last message were specifically targeted to a case where book image thumbnail size would need to be changed “only” for the book archive page.

To change that image thumbnail size for all pages (e.g. books archive page, a single book page, tag archive page etc), the customization would be much simpler.

(using same image thumbnail for all those pages would make more sense as they’ll be uniform and you’ll save some space on the server too as a new image thumbnail size won’t be needed)

New steps would be:

1. Undo both changes from my last message.

2. Add the following line in the active child theme’s “functions.php”:

add_image_size( ‘author-pro-image’, 600, 906, TRUE );

(this will not register a new image thumbnail size, but will only override the one used by the plugin, by default)

3. Regenerate all image thumbnails.

4. All your book pages should be using the book cover images in that new size.

Hi @webcoast,

Even though the plugin hasn’t been updated for a few months, it is still being maintained and supported by its author(s) and can be used with the latest WordPress.

( ref: official response – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/will-plugin-be-updated-soon/#post-9587894 )

Hi @tianasmith,

To make sure the book images are retina-ready, you’ll need to make them at least double the size in which they’re shown on the front-end.

For example, if you plan to show them in size of 300×453, you should register the new image thumbnail size in 600×906.

To change the book thumbnail size only on the books archive page ( https://class2k19books.com/books/ ), you can follow these steps:

1. Please add following code in active child theme’s “functions.php” file, to register a special image size just for the book archive page:

add_image_size( ‘author-pro-image-archive’, 600, 906, TRUE );

2. Create a new file named “archive-books.php” in the active child theme’s folder and add code from this link:
https://gist.github.com/swa433/24ad46fed5baa48bee3c689181d3b1f5

Note: it contains the default code from the plugin’s own template file, with few modifications

Please also remember to regenerate all image thumbnails after the step 1.

I hope this helps!

Hi Debbie (@uchanneltv),

From the code and browser console errors, it seems your website “https://talkshows.uchanneltv.us/” is configured to serve website resources from the staging site “https://usm71.siteground.biz/~watch457/talkshows/.

The social icons are showing on the staging website and not on the live website because of your server’s Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policy.
( for more information please refer to point # 3 at https://github.com/copyblogger/simple-social-icons/wiki/Troubleshooting-Tips )

You can either ask your web host to adjust your server’s CORS policy or wait till the website is properly migrated to the live website and its resources are served from the actual domain ( talkshows.uchanneltv.us ).

Hi @smarterwebsites,

From the code of your website’s shop page ( https://theresabates.com.au/shop/ ), it seems it is not currently set as the “Shop page” in WooCommerce’s settings.

Please make sure “WooCommerce” and “Genesis Connect for WooCommerce” plugins are updated to their latest versions and the shop page is set at WP Admin -> WooCommerce -> Settings -> Products.

After that, you can activate the “Genesis Connect for WooCommerce” plugin and content of homepage and the inner pages should show.

You’re welcome @analyticshops,

Assuming you’re using a Genesis framework child theme on your website, framework’s own SEO settings will become available, once the Yoast SEO plugin is deactivated.

You can read details about those settings at following resources:
https://my.studiopress.com/documentation/usage/genesis-features/genesis-seo-settings/
https://wpsites.net/seo/genesis-seo-settings-guide/

In case you’re using a theme which is not a child theme of Genesis framework, you’ll check if that theme is available in the plugin’s supported themes list ( screenshot: https://nimb.ws/x7fdlE ).

If it is available, you’ll select it from the “to” field’s drop-down while transferring data. Once the SEO data has been transferred, you’ll be able to manage meta tags and titles from your respective theme’s SEO settings.

If your theme is not in that list, you’ll need one of the SEO plugins from that same list ( screenshot: https://nimb.ws/O9ZYnD ), to move existing SEO data from Yoast SEO plugin and then manage it in future.

Hi @analyticshops,

You can convert your SEO data from Yoast SEO plugin to Genesis framework’s own SEO, using this “SEO Data Transporter” plugin.

1. Please activate the plugin and go to “WP Admin -> Tools -> Convert SEO Data”.

2. In the “Convert inpost SEO data from” field, select “Yoast SEO” and in “to” field select “Genesis”. ( screenshot: https://nimb.ws/MTuDSe )

3. Click “Analyze” button and when it is confirmed that relevant data has been recognized, you can click “Convert” to proceed with the conversion.

4. Once the SEO data has been converted, you can uninstall the Yoast SEO plugin.

I hope this helps!

Hi @koben-1,

By default, the “Genesis Author Pro” plugin only shows the books ordered by their published date and time.

They are shown in descending order, where the most recent one would show first.

You’ll find the option to adjust published date at right-hand column on each book’s edit screen, just under the heading “Publish”.
( “Published” field should not be confused with the “Publication Date” and both are shown in this screenshot: https://nimb.ws/K3OoZA )

This arrangement provides most flexibility because book page’s published date is not shown to visitors on front-end, but only book’s publication date is visible. Site owners can edit it anytime to re-adjust book order, without remaking/re-adding them.

There is an edit link to adjust book page’s published date and time, as shown in another screenshot: https://nimb.ws/IBT7hy

To show books grouped or ordered by any different criteria, custom page template will be needed.

Thanks for the update and glad the custom CSS code is working now.

Some updates are planned for the plugin “Simple Social Icons”, which will naturally resolve this ( ref: https://github.com/copyblogger/simple-social-icons/pull/60/files ).

But until then, your custom CSS code should help others – thanks for sharing!

Hi @mic22,

I’ve checked the pages you’ve shared and noticed that they’re now using a different plugin for social icons.

I was able to reproduce the issue on my test website too and it seems that the way “Elementor” plugin filters the widget’s and their IDs, some styles from the “Simple Social Icons” are not included on pages edited by the Elementor plugin.

For now, the workaround can be to manually include those styles on those selective pages or the entire website.

You can find those styles inside the <head> tag of your pages without Elementor plugin:

I hope this helps!
