  • in reply to: Changer head visibility for all posts in a category? #475927

    Thanks, good to know. It’s only a few dozen posts, so changing by hand will only be a few minutes’ work. But if there had been an easy automatic method, it would have been worth knowing for the future.

    in reply to: Redirect category pages to latest post in each category? #436323

    Thanks Ismael.

    in reply to: Padding between and inside layout elements #434572

    Thanks Ismael.

    Darn, I’m confused again by promo boxes. They seem very useful, but I would prefer to be able to control each promo box separately – not change all promo boxes to be the same.

    Please:
    1. how do I control font-size in individual promo boxes?
    2. how do I control font-family in individual promo boxes?
    3. how do I control padding in individual promo boxes? (There is too much space separating the text from elements above or below.)
    4. how do I control the padding between text and button within individual promo boxes? (This is the MAJOR issue – I have text running on top of the button, which is terrible.)
    5. can I control the placement of the button in individual promo boxes? (It seems only possible at the right.)

    Thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply Günter. I just remembered also the advice given here to use Google inspector. I tried that a moment ago and found the correct avia element label. I’m learning.

    in reply to: How do I edit whole blog format? #405260

    Thanks for the suggestions Yigit. I slowly figured out some basic things:

    1. The title bar can be hidden for each post with Title Bar Settings while editing the post.

    2. The sidebar can be customized by creating new menus and adding them to custom sidebars; then the appropriate sidebar, like the title bar, can be chosen while editing posts, in Sidebar Setting.

    3. The number of posts shown under domain.com/blog can be fixed by creating a page “blog”, then using ALB to add an element “Blog Posts”, within which the number of posts can be set.

    There may be cleverer ways to do all these things, but they seem to work. I’m learning……

    Hey Yigit, works like a dream. THANKS so much.

    Thanks again begrafiks (and Elliott). It took me some time to get started, but I have now made progress. For a beginner it can be a gamble to invest in a premium theme because you’re not sure it will do what you want until you buy it. But Enfold is working out great and I am already recommending it to friends.

    in reply to: How to adjust category post navigation? #405247

    Oh, thanks for pointing out the plugin Andy. In the meantime, Ismael gave me this code which works perfectly:

    add_filter('avia_post_nav_settings', 'avia_post_nav_settings_mod');
    function avia_post_nav_settings_mod($settings)
    {
    	$settings['is_fullwidth']  = false;
    	$settings['same_category'] = true;
    	return $settings;
    }

    I apologize if it looks like I started two threads for one question, but Ismael’s suggestion came up in discussing the formatting of categories in general.

    Thanks to you both

    Yes, as I said above, I found that Category Post List widget works. And I eventually figured how to change the font in the sidebar menu and get the hover-over colour to change.

    Thanks for your time.

    in reply to: How to format categories (preferably with ALB) #405217

    Perfect Ismael – that code is exactly what I wanted! THANKS

    in reply to: Change font color etc in ALB elements #404848

    Thanks. I used Google Web Inspector and found avia-caption-title. I can affect the slider caption if I put this in Quick CSS:

    .avia-caption-title {
    text-transform: lowercase !important; 
    }

    But this doesn’t work:

    .avia-caption-title .awesome-avia-caption-title {
    text-transform: lowercase !important; 
    }

    (I also tried many alternatives to “.awesome-avia-caption-title”.) In other words, I can affect all caption titles, but I can’t change individual caption titles.

    in reply to: How to format categories (preferably with ALB) #404262

    Thanks. I’ve read those two links, I have created category-slug.php files for my categories, and put them in my child theme folder. I’m not sure of the next step. Can I use the Avia Layout Builder to design these templates? Or do I have to learn how to code?

    For example, when I go to a post, there are arrows at the left and right which take me to previous/following post. But those arrows are oblivious to category. How do I edit them so they stick to one category? Where are they defined? I have looked at several of the Enfold parent php’s and my hunch is that the arrows are “in” loop-index.php. But I have no idea how to start editing the code.

    It would be great if you could get me started.

    Sorry, Josue, I don’t know what you mean. If I activate Twenty Fifteen, my whole site is just a chaotic mess.

    However this widget seems to function
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-post-list-widget/
    except that the text format doesn’t look very good – I have no idea how to make it change with hover-over, for example.

    in reply to: Change font color etc in ALB elements #403768

    I finally found out that what I wanted to do was change the icon list TITLE. I found a solution from Ismael here:
    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/header-and-footer-enfold-default-style/

    .avia-icon-list .iconlist_title {
    text-transform: none;
    }

    But this solution will apply through the site. How do I use Custom CSS to change the titles of individual icon lists?

    Also, how do I do this for other elements. E.g. I have inserted an Easy Slider where I have added the Custom Css class awesome-easyslider. Under Quick CSS I have inserted:

    .avia-easy-slider. awesome-easyslider {
    text-transform: lowercase; 
    font-size: 10px; 
    text-align:center;
    }

    Which doesn’t work. Is there a general syntax for doing this kind of thing?

    in reply to: How do I edit whole blog format? #403128

    Please go to Appearance > Widgets and add widgets to your Blog Overview widget area

    I can’t see any Blog Overview widget area.

    In fact I just googled the phrase “Blog Overview widget area” and the only result for the entire internet is your message, so I have no idea what you mean.

    in reply to: How do I edit whole blog format? #402490

    I don’t know whether to wait for a reply.

    Under blog layout, it says

    “You can either chose a predefined layout or build your own blog layout with the advanced layout editor”

    But how? I’ve found several threads from the past two years, with people confused about how to use ALB to do blog layout, and I now I’m totally confused.

    I’m trying to create a page called Blog, with the permalink domain.com/blog. This seems impossible. When I try to make the permalink domain.com/blog, it won’t allow me, and turns it into domain.com/blog-2 or domain.com/blog-3.

    Please, how do I format my blog?

    in reply to: Change font color etc in ALB elements #402277

    Thanks Yigit, I stupidly didn’t see that tab. My fault.

    Here’s my other question for the third time:
    2. how do I do the same kind of changes for say an icon list? I tried .avia_iconlist.awesome-iconlist p { etc and it doesn’t work.
    How can I change the text in icon list titles? How can I prevent it from being all capitals, how can I change its colour, size etc?

    in reply to: Change font color etc in ALB elements #401168

    I just want to specify the color of the headline on my frontpage.

    No Rikard, @begrafiks’s suggestion doesn’t work. I originally followed Ismael’s advice here
    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/text-block-font-size/
    As I described in my op, I put this in Quick CSS (as Ismael recommends):
    .avia_textblock.awesome-textblock p {
    background: blue;
    padding: 10px;
    font-size: 20px;
    }
    This code works, but @begrafik’s code doesn’t work.

    So back to my original questions:
    1. how do I change font COLOR? E.g. font-color:red; doesn’t work
    2. how do I do the same kind of changes for say an ICON LIST? I tried .avia_iconlist.awesome-iconlist p { etc and it doesn’t work.

    Thanks again, I’ll work through some documentation.

    Hi begrafiks
    Thanks for replying. I have installed demos but have no idea how to make the specific frontpage that I described:
    • several boxes, each containing the latest post in a given area/topic/category
    For example, if I click on “Home v.10 Magazine”, it shows me a demo with Economy, Lifestyle, etc. Where are those things? How do I edit them? Are they categories? I have searched google, youtube, WP, and here to find explanations relating to what I would like:
    • several boxes, each containing the latest post in a given area/topic/category
    and I can find nothing (except some long pages of code).
    Any help gratefully received.
