Cappienon – it seems so.

Look in the customizer under Blog Layout, there’s now a box for Posts Page Image.

It works for me – hope for you too!

So, now it’s possible to set a blog post page image from the Customizer. Thank you for that.

I think this issue is now resolved.

I’m still trying to make this work. I’ve been reviewing questions and answers that relate to this issue in other themes on the WP support forums, but it seems like every theme has a different solution. There a lot of suggestions involving changing code in the header.php and index.php files, or creating and editing code in a child theme, but nothing that seems easy or straightforward for someone unused to coding.

I have also tried a couple of plug-ins – Custom Header Images and Unique Headers – but neither seem to work with Sensible.

Very frustrating.

It would be nice to get a response to this issue from the theme designer(s).

I have this question too.

The demo (https://modernthemes.net/demo/?theme=Sensible) is showing an image in the banner on the Blog page – the same image as the Front page hero image. But on the downloaded version there is only a block of colour. I can change the colour, but I can’t see how to replace the colour with a picture.

Putting a featured image into the Blog page does not help. (Edit: It doesn’t help to put a featured image into the Home page either.)

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi artports,

I’ve worked out what to do from your suggestions. Thanks for the pointer.

If you are using the social links in the footer as well as the header you will need to make similar changes to footer.php.

And of course you’re making the changes in a child-theme so you don’t lose them all when Sensible next upgrades ??

Cheers!

Thanks for your comment modernthemesnet.

I would like to have the possibility to put the Ello logo in the social link bar.

You can find the logos here: https://ello.co/wtf/post/ello-logo

But why not simply add an option (like Jetpack) to add social links to any social network using a universal share logo?

Hi artports,

So how did you solve it exactly? I take it you have changed the php code somehow. But if I want to replace the Dribble link, for example, with a link to Ello, I can’t just replace “dribble” with “ello”.

If I take this:

<?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'sensiblewp_dribble' ) ) : ?>
                                	<li>
                                    <a href="<?php echo esc_url(get_theme_mod( 'sensiblewp_dribble' )); ?>">
                                    <i class="fa fa-dribble"></i>
                                    </a>
                                    </li>
								<?php endif; ?>

And write this:

<?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'sensiblewp_ello' ) ) : ?>
                                	<li>
                                    <a href="<?php echo esc_url(get_theme_mod( 'sensiblewp_ello' )); ?>">
                                    <i class="fa fa-ello"></i>
                                    </a>
                                    </li>
								<?php endif; ?>

I get a “parse error: syntax error”. I suppose the code has to point to a logo and an URL. So where to include that info?

Thanks for your feedback bobbingwide, sorry it’s taken me so long to reply.

Many thanks for all your help Jeremy!

Thanks again Jeremy,

I’ve duplicated your cookie view of my sites with Chrome and see only 3-5 cookies. Cookie cat is identifying 14-16. (See here: https://stopsandstories.thesupercargo.com/privacy-policy/
scroll down to the table.)

Perhaps a problem with the Cookie cat plug-in? I’ve written a question to the author.

Is it possible that in admin mode I am getting cookies placed on my computer from my site that a viewer who is not logged in would not get?

Cheers,

John

Hi Jeremy,

And thanks for getting back. The two websites in question are both sub-domains:
https://atthequill.thesupercargo.com
https://stopsandstories.thesupercargo.com

Sorry for not providing the URLs before.

The screenshot you sent certainly looks very low on cookie content. What browser are you using to do that?

Thanks,

John

OK, thanks. The initial image is so large (512×512 pixels) I was puzzled – but as I read this info it uses the same image to create an Apple touch icon. Cool. ??

Many thanks Mika,

I’ll clear some time and try this over the weekend.

(Having first taken some very deep breaths.)

John

Hi Mika,

Thanks for getting back to me.

The old site is https://atthequill.thesupercargo.com

The new site is currently https://atthequil1.thesupercargo.com

I think what I do is change the 1 to l in the new site address, but do I erase the old site before or after?

Cheers,
John

No one seems to want to add anything so I’ll mark this ‘resolved’ … though it really isn’t.
