    I am having issues with my blog layout.
    1) Spacing after the title
    2) can I even out the excerpt
    3) remove date and comment count
    4) I would like the little READ MORE —> link there

    the single page:
    4) I would like the bottom (social media and comments) to match the way it looks on my portfolio pages
    5) If I put a featured image on the page the image shows up twice
    6) Monserrat font not showing up on this page and type is looking funny

    and on occasion, when I check the preview, I get taken to a strange page

    Hey KK,

    Please try adding this code to the Quick CSS section under Enfold > General Styling or to your child themes style.css file:

    h3.slide-entry-title.entry-title {
    margin-bottom: 0!important;
    padding-bottom: 0!important;
}
.slide-meta { display: none !important; }

    Please add following code to Functions.php file in Appearance > Editor

    add_filter('avf_postgrid_excerpt_length','avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length', 10, 1);
function avia_change_postgrid_excerpt_length($length)
{
   $length = 100;
   return $length;
}

    Please edit your blog post and add your social share buttons and comments element into a color section element with custom background color #e3ded5

    Please add your custom font by referring to this post – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/register-additional-google-fonts-for-theme-options/

    Best regards,
    Yigit

    thanks, you are so helpful.

    But something odd is happening and it may be that I have conflicting CSS.

    if I click on BLOG from top nav,
    I get the page I like
    but if I go to edit it by way of “edit page”
    I get an old page I was previously building with a header that says “this and that…”
    therefore, I am unable to add the comments/so media section

    Also- my READ MORE —> is missing

    Can you show me where to get code to put into my single blog page to re-do it?
    After clicking in to the singe blog page, there is no header and it looks a mess. It’s still showing featured image and top image twice on some pages.

    Hi,

    I went to Enfold theme options > Blog Layout > Blog Layout and choose to use Advanced Layout Builder to create your blog page. Then removed following code from Style.css file of your child theme, as it should not be there

    /*==google fonts==*/
// Register new icon as a theme icon
function avia_add_custom_icon($icons) {
	$icons['icon_name']	 = array( 'font' =>'fontello', 'icon' => 'ue800');
	return $icons;
}
add_filter('avf_default_icons','avia_add_custom_icon', 10, 1);

// Add new icon as an option for social icons
function avia_add_custom_social_icon($icons) {
	$icons['Icon Label'] = 'icon_name';
	return $icons;
}
add_filter('avf_social_icons_options','avia_add_custom_social_icon', 10, 1);

    and added following

    .avia-content-slider .slide-entry-excerpt {
    padding-bottom: 20px;
}

    Please review your website now

    Best regards,
    Yigit

    Thanks for fixing it!!
    can I change out the READ MORE buttons to the smaller version with the arrow? —–>

    The single page is still showing the feature image first instead of the beginning of the blog therefore repeating the same image.

    update:
    I have so much frustration with the blog I still am not comfortable using it.
    Things that I thought were taken care of globally on the site pop up like:
    quotes have the vertical line I thought I got rid of, my font is not available….
    the single blog page looks less than finished. I’ve spent so much time already.

    I’m not complaining about you guys, It’s ME. I don’t know programming and am thinking I can make this work. ugh

    Hi,

    I’m sorry that you’re getting frustrated. Is there anything that we can help you with? If you can specify the issues that you’re having, we’ll try to help as much as possible. First of all, did you set the blog page as “blog” in the Enfold > Theme Options? And did you set the Enfold > Blog Layout > Blog Layout to use the advance layout builder?

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    The comments and social media on bottom of single post page is differnet on almost every post–crashing into each other and/or are practically invisible without color. How can I control the bottom of a post?
    ———-
    Also- my sidebar is mushed under the post. can I get that to work?
    ——–
    For the main post page: (http://specialmoderndesign.com/newblog/)
    I’m looking for:
    Headline
    image
    small date
    blurb
    read more —> (as is)

    Hi,

    Please try adding this code to the Quick CSS section under Enfold > General Styling or to your child themes style.css file:

    .single-post footer.entry-footer *, .single-post .comment-entry.post-entry * {
    border-color: #e2e2e2!important;
}
span.text-sep-date, span.comment-container, .text-sep-comment, span.blog-categories, .text-sep-cat, .blog-author {
    display: none!important;
}
time.date-container {
    display: block!important;
}

    and then remove following from your custom CSS

    .post-meta-infos {
    display: none;
}

    Best regards,
    Yigit

    thanks– getting better.
    I may have conflicting CSS.
    — I don’t see a HR between posts to separate more
    — How can I get the Title and Date meta bigger and BEFORE the image?
    — Can I control width of image and excerpt?

    Can you tell me if this code is redundant (maybe that is a problem?)

    /*===== BLOG ===*/
    .avia-mozilla .av-inner-masonry-content.site-background, .avia-safari .av-inner-masonry-content.site-background {
    -webkit-transform: translateZ(0)!important
    }

    .html_elegant-blog #top .post-entry .post-title
    .avia-content-slider .slide-entry-title {
    text-align: left;
    letter-spacing:0px;
    }

    .html_elegant-blog #top .post-entry .blog-categories {
    text-align: left;
    }

    h3.slide-entry-title.entry-title {
    margin-bottom: 0!important;
    padding-bottom: 0!important;
    }
    .slide-meta {
    display: none !important; }

    .avia-content-slider .slide-entry-excerpt {
    padding-bottom: 20px;
    }
    .avia-blog-categories-minor-meta{
    display: none;
    }
    .slide-entry-excerpt.entry-content img {
    border-radius: 0px;
    }
    .avia-content-slider .slide-image, .avia-content-slider .slide-image img {
    border-radius: 0px;
    }

    Hi,

    — I don’t see a HR between posts to separate more

    Add this css code:

    .template-blog .post-entry {
    border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
    margin-bottom: 50px;
}

    — How can I get the Title and Date meta bigger and BEFORE the image?

    Use this for the title:

    #top .flex_column .template-blog .post-title {
    font-size: 1.8em;
}

    And this one for the date: 

    .container .minor-meta {
    font-size: 1.2em;
}

    — Can I control width of image and excerpt?

    And this css code for the image and the excerpt:

    #top .fullsize .template-blog .big-preview img {
    width: 80%;
}

#top .fullsize .flex_column .template-blog .post .entry-content-wrapper>.entry-content {
    max-width: 80%;
    margin-left: 0;
}

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Fantastic.
    (Tell me if I am overstaying my welcome)
    Can I get the placement of the image between the date and the excerpt?

    TITLE
    DATE
    IMAGE
    EXCERPT

    And is this a good time to ask how to get the sidebar on this (and the single blog) page?

    Hi,

    If you have any additional questions at this time we kindly ask that you open them up in a separate thread. The longer threads get in the forum, they become more difficult to support as they tend to drift off topic and they also make it troublesome for users trying to search for solutions. Keeping threads relevant to their original inquiry ensures that we can keep better track of what has been resolved and that users can more effectively find answers to similar issues they might be experiencing. Thank you for your understanding.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
