Hey Eleina_Shinn,
Thank you for the link to your site, I see that your top bar social icons don’t have the target _blank attribute as they should, I’m not sure what is causing this, perhaps a custom script or a plugin, you could try disabling these or I wrote this script to add it back, try adding this code to the end of your child theme functions.php file in Appearance ▸ Editor:

function custom_social_target_script() { ?>
    <script>

(function($){
  $('.av_extra_header_active>.container>.social_bookmarks li').each(function(){
    $('a').attr('target','_blank');
  });
}(jQuery));
</script>
    <?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_social_target_script');

Your YouTube icon is showing for me

and each of your social icons have a mouse-over color, FB is blue and YT is red, a little different from your red so that is why the background changes some, did you want to remove the mouse-over color?
If you don’t see the YT icon please check your browser for an AD-Blocker or a FB browser add-on which would be blocking it from you.

Best regards,
Mike

Hey envapk2,
Thank you for the link to your site, I tested this solution on my demo site and it does work correctly, please check that you followed the solution correctly:
First ensure that this function is in your child theme functions.php:

add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);
function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths)
{
  $template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
      array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');

  return $paths;
}

then ensure that your child theme directory structure is: /shortcodes/section/section.php

and ensure that you edited the section.php correctly
I have linked to my test page below.

Hey Manfred,
Thank you for the link to your site, I added this to your child theme stylesheet:

#top.single-post .blog-meta {
	display: none;
}

now this will not show on single posts but will continue to show on your archives, please clear your browser cache and check.

Best regards,

Hi,
I see with Nikko’s help in portrait mode icons appears on the top, when in landscape mode icons are in the main header area at the right of the logo, and this is the best solution for mobile because in portrait there is not enough room for the social icons to be to the right of the logo.
Did you have any other questions about this?

Hi,
Thanks for the links to your test pages, and they look like they are working correctly, the first images “faith” on /test-post-daily-word-by-topic-testing-faith/ points to ▸
/category-test-faith/ and it’s first image points to the post ▸ /daily-word-god-will-provide-kingdom-learners-2/
I see from your update that you sorted out the featured image.
For the Year category, just add a number year as a second category to your posts

then use a masonry element with only the years selected:

and set the sorting options:

and this is the expected results:

Hey markus-fischer,
Please try this code in the General Styling ▸ Quick CSS field or in the WordPress ▸ Customize ▸ Additional CSS field:

ul.disc, .entry-content-wrapper ul {
  list-style: none !important; 
  margin-left: 0;
  padding-left: 0;
}

.entry-content-wrapper ul li {
  padding-left: 1em;
  text-indent: -1em;
}

.entry-content-wrapper ul li:before {
  content: "✓";
  padding-right: 5px;
  color:#000 !important; 
}

After applying the css, please clear your browser cache and check.

Hi,
Thanks for the link to your site, I tested this on Windows with FireFox 97.0b9 and the error didn’t occur, please see the screenshot in the Private Content area, I also tested on a Mac but since it didn’t already have FireFox installed the latest version for Mac was 80.0.1 which also didn’t show the error, so this must be specific to your version, please try updating.
I also tested on Chrome & Safari and both looked correct.

Hi,
This should be ok on a testing domain with your current license.
I would recommend the regular web hosting instead of Managed WordPress Hosting and not their “special” WordPress install, because as with many hosts the Managed WordPress Hosting include a customized install that forces jQuery into the footer & removes the option for you to control it yourself, it also adds so ModSec filters that can make importing demo difficult and installs a “must use” caching plugin with a lazy load option that is based on Smush which has some issues right now, so disable this option.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Sorry, I was getting my train of thought mixed up, but yes you can use the Advanced Layout Builder on your new posts instead of the Classic Editor.
As for showing the date, if we use the blog element we can use the solution above to hide everything except the date, I believe there is a similar solution for the masonry element, but covering that right now might confuse the topic.
About the categories, your flow seems to be Daily Word ALL ▸ Post, that is you have one page that lists all of your posts and links directly to it.
On the other site is a page with a grid of 6 categories ▸ that link to a “category page” ▸ that then links to the individual posts.
Which way do you want to go?
As for your last question about changing the layout of the new post, yes we can adjust it to look like your current “pages”, I’ll explain more later, let’s sort out the “flow” of your site first.

Best regards,
Mike
