Yep… I deactivated and reactivated my other plugins one at a time on my main site just to see if there were any conflicts. After finding none, I “fixed it” by uninstalling most recent version of “Share Buttons” and reinstalling older version of “AddThis”. Not fun on nearly 50 sites after clients complained of losing the feature after updating it. It’s certainly not a “theme” issue.

That did the trick. Thanks!

You can use this code in the Custom CSS area to change the opacity of the slider “Title/Description” area.

#featured-slider .entry-description-container {
background-color: #000000;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
padding: 10px 15px;
padding: 1rem 1.5rem;
}

The “0.6” in line 3 of the code is the “Opacity”. The range is 0 to 0.9… with “0” being the lightest and 0.9 being the darkest.

Hope this helps.

Nope Yuck… The “fix” no longer works either…

I’ve resolved the problem myself by manually modifying the .xml file. Looked at it closer and realized there are two areas where colors are controlled.

Thanks…

I’ve got too many sites with the same problem. I’ve stopped upgrading several sites as this only happens immediately following the upgrade.

I’ve tried modifying the xml file to no avail.

Anything additional I should look at?

Thanks for the reply. All is as it should be. Skin modifications still aren’t being applied.

And, for what it’s worth… using most recent version of WP and no additional plugins were installed or updated. All worked fine prior to upgrade.

For the moment, I’ve found that even if the page or post is not a “Featured” page or post… I needed to add a photo the the “Featured Image” field. On pages where I hadn’t added one, the “Pin-It” button wouldn’t appear. A band-aid for now, I guess… but better than nothing.

Discovered an easier way to make Pinterest work.

1) I removed the code from the “Additional Buttons” field.
2) I turned on the “Pinterest” button
3) I checked the box for “Load Scripts in Footer” under the “Advanced Options” section. Works fine… images load… etc…

Agreed… Sorry… Forgot to mention one other thing I added. Haven’t done it on this site yet, however, I’ve done it on mine at https://www.williamhwells.com.

I added this plug-in. https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/pin-it-on-pinterest/

It adds a set of fields at the bottom of each post where you can attach an image as well as some text. Cleared up the “blank image” issue for me.

Greetings jfrovich…

I had to use the “Additional Buttons” section and added the following code:

<a href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/"><img border="0" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" title="Pin It" /></a>

After checking to make sure it worked, I turned off the assigned button they provide. You can see it here on a site I’m developing: https://www.minnesotaembroidery.com – just click one of the articles or posts. I don’t have it displaying on the home page.
