Hi Mike,
thank you very much!
I managed to do some changes and I think I did it succesfully and I now also understand, that the ‘Blog element’ is used to define the style for the blog page and I don’t use it for a blog post.Two questions, please:
1.
I managed to have the full post shown on the general blog (with text and a picture, not a ‘featured’ image’ only, when I use the classic editor.
With the ALB my posts are still always shown with the ‘Read more’ tag (so not shown with their full content, although I have set the pref to “full content”).
-> Is this the way it has to be or can we modify this?
If this is how it’s meant to work, I can’t use the ALB for my blog posts and e.g. cannot use the beautiful sliders in a blog post, right when I want to have the posts displayed fully, right? (It works as a single post on its own, single page.)
I have read your recommendation ,that the ‘classic editor’ works best, so I guess, that’s the answer to my questions above.2.
I have deleted all featured images (which I added for design only) and added the CSS code, that I got from Ismael further above (works!) to have my Gravatar shown in square format.
Then on my new Blog Page in the “Blog Post” element I have chosen the style ‘Multi Author shows Gravatar and featured image above’.The main reason for which I have deleted the ‘featured images’ was, that I don’T want to have them displayed with that style. So for now, I am fine, but I wonder, if I could keep that style while having a ‘featured image’ but not have it displayed. This would enable me to switch to a different style (like Grid layout) and then have the ‘featured image’ shown.
Thank you for listening!
BerndHi Mike,
this is wonderful, I say thank you for _your_ patience and support!
You can easily skip 1 and 2 below, I just wrote them to show, that I tried.
1.
I looked into the documentation, and then
– In WordPress > Settings > Reading > Post page I selected “Select” (so no selection).
– Enfold Theme Options ▸ Where Do You Want To Display The Blog I selected “test-blog-list-style”
(That’s my choice from the two test pages you have created, just that I would wish to see all post displayed full content.)
– I created a new post by dragging the layout element ‘Text Block’, added some text and then dragged the Media Element ‘Image’ below and added an image.
If I remember correct, it didn’t show up on the test-blog-list-style”. I’m a bit overstrained and frustated, that I don’t get these things.2.
I deleted that post and repeated all above, but before I went to WordPress > Settings > Reading > Post page and selected “test-blog-list-style” and also edited that ‘page’ you had created by editing the ‘Blog Post’ Layout Element and selected “Full Content” ‘Block Content Length’.
Looking at that page “test-blog-list-style” then showed all my post now fully as I wanted, but when I published the new post, it had a different style / format and also the ‘Read more’ tag.I left then, The test-post is still there for you to see.

Mike, I just bought extended support via my Themeforest account to show my appreciation for your support. It was probably not necessary for you, but it was a must for me.
I would love, if you could look into the mess I made and set all prefs to have a new blog-page meeting the “test-blog-list-style” with full content display and instruct me, what steps I have to take, to then simply add a new post by using the Advanced Layout Editor. (Do I need to insert the ‘Block Editor’ element in a new post or can I simply utilize the ‘Text Block’? Must that element be within a Layout Element like 1/1? You get the idea, that I’m at a loss.)
Or probably you simply create a test posts featuring a text and an image or slider and I will look into it later to see, how it was done.Thank you, Sir!
P.S.:
I want to keep the look and structure of my blog, regardless it is my user picture or the small featured image I use instead now.If it helps, please feel free to create a new post with a title, an example text and a picture from my library. I could then later look into it to get, what you did and what elements you had used.
Thank you, Sir!
Kind regards,
BerndHey Ismael,
thank you for your support!
I’m a bit at a loss here:
– I wasn’t aware of the ‘Blog Post Element’ and I don’t really get it’s purpose or get it to work as a blog post entry on my blog.
– I don’t use my Blog as the Frontpage. If I pick my Blog page in > Enfold > Blog Layout > “Where do you want to display the blog?” all entries are gone.
– Until now I simply went in WP > Posts > Add New and prior to Enfold I used the Classic or Default Editor and I can use the Advance Layout Editor (Editor its say, not Builder). When I use it, I have the issue mentioned in my first post, that the content is not shown, but instead the ‘Read more’ tag.
(I had ‘added’ a new post, Inserted a 1/1 element and then a text block content element in that and below a picture media element.)Right now I have set the blog layout back to my old settings and instead of the Gravatar picture, I always place a feautered image next to the entry. (Always the same picture.)
–> Ismael, probably it is less effort for you to look into my configuration, instead of communicating with slow-witted me.
I have set up an admin for you, please see the private content below for the detailsPlease know,
– that I don’t care much about using the Gravatar picture. I will always be the only author on my website and I’m fine with simply placing the ‘featured image’ next to the entry as long as is matches the blog layout.
– Of course showing this picture (same as my Gravatar automatically, would be less effort. In a perfect world I could use a local user picture, but the plug-ins I tried showed the uploaded square picture as a circled oneMy main issue here is to be able to use the ‘Advanced Layout Editor’ for new blog-posts and have those posts shown in full – just like it is now with all posts. And my assumption is, that I could use the same elements as I do on a ‘page’.
Hi Mike,
super, thank you so much!
This was one I had to see to learn, if it works, which it doesn’t with the padding I added before thanks to your help. Probably it would, if I go back to no padding, I’ll see.
However and only on a side note: There’s a slight visual glitch with the line thicker than 2px, which happens when it moves above a menu entry that has submenues: Then the line splits into a two different thick-parts. But this is not an issue and I’m not asking for your support on this. :-)Happy Easter!
Hi Mike,
awesome, thank you very much! It works and I love it.
While viewing my pages and thinking about the ‘moving line’ that follows the mouse on the menu sitting at the edge of the Full Width Slider, I had a different idea: Increasing the size of that line in px.
– If I wanted to do this, please, what would be the CSS code for that?
– And if I wanted to combine your code above with it, what would the code then look like?I hope. I’m asking not too much!
Kind regards,
BerndUpdate: I found it. Layout > Header. Thx!
Hey Ismael,
looking at the Spa demo, I hope you don’t mind my off topic question::
Where is the option to have a picture like there at the top reaching all the way to the top into the main menu area?Thank you!
BerndHi Ismael,
thank you very much! It’s great news for me, that there will be a way.
However, I will not be able to get there, I have no talent for coding. I installed the Enfold Child Theme to make different modification, for which I found the code on this board and nothing worked.
I will not ask you to navigate me through all this as I feel I would ask too much from you. So I will have a friend look into it, but to get things rolling:
May I kindly ask you to provide the code snippet we would need?Hi Ismael,
thank you so much! Could you please provide the complete path to that option to navigate me there?
I cannot find it. I went > Pages > Edit the page featuring the slider > click on the slider element > picked the tab ‘Styling’ and I do not see it.
I also looked at > Enfold > Advanced Styling > Select an element to customize , but there is no ‘Caption Positioning’ setting.Kind regards,
Bernd
