OK, I give up — I think we have a sufficient workaround for this using the offset option in the Magazine elements anyway — thanks anyway.

Thanks for looking, Victoria — is there anyone else on the team you could ask?

Here’s what our IT guy said about that: “I need specific ips for them because it doesn’t do it by country (and I don’t know what ips are for what countries).” — anything you can do for me?

But what about the original ticket — you still haven’t responded since I gave you access on the 4th.

Thanks!

Nice, that’s a good step in the right direction! I added the h1 tag around it (see below), like the other, category header titles, so they look the same.

But there’s no way to show the other categories? Posts are so often in more than one category. Sorry to press on this, but if a user is browsing one category, clicks on a post, and then is taken to a page with a different category title, that’d be pretty confusing, I think.

Oh, also, this category just links to the home page — can we make it link to the archive page for that category?

Thanks again!

add_filter('avf_title_args', 'avf_title_args_mod_category', 10, 2);
function avf_title_args_mod_category($args, $id)
{
	$categories = get_the_terms(get_the_ID(), 'category');
	foreach($categories as $category) {
		$args['title'] = '<h1 class="main-title entry-title">'.$category->name.'</h1>';
	}

    return $args;
}

Just worked for me, but I have used these credentials for a few, recent tickets — maybe two of you were trying to log in at the same time…?

Sure (credentials in PC) — I have those header titles hidden with css, for single post pages — they do work on Archive pages (e.g., https://www.waternewsnetwork.com/category/education/ or see screen grab https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/f56ed5ba-d7de-42b5-b9a9-fc766663abe6/51e8181ecd261d785ddcde3181c15aca ) — If I could just show “Category: Education” or just “Education” in that strip for all posts in the Education category, that’d be perfect.

Thanks and let me know if you have any other questions!

OK, that one’s cleared now.

OK, he said he whitelisted your IP — sftp in private content (note, it’s sftp, not ftp) — thanks!!

OK, he said he couldn’t find any server configuration issues or anything, but he thinks it might have something to do with the function sti($n) being
declared twice. He dug up the error, below, and said, if you comment out that function in the child theme, the page renders. But commenting out that function doesn’t solve my problem, because then I see multiple posts in my Magazine elements (even though I have them set to only show 1 post each), and the sticky post functionality still doesn’t seem to be working.

Any clues for me, based on this new info? Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Actually, FYI, I realize the code I ended up using, above, in my Mar 7 post, still just changes the size of the Magazine thumb, which is not actually what I was looking for. What I was actually looking for is a snippet that would set the Magazine element to use the Portfolio thumb. Instead of using the code above, yes, I may as well just use the Simple Image Sizes plugin and just change the size of the Magazine thumb.

Anyway, I’m giving up on this now and just settling for the plugin solution — just wanted to note this for anyone who may be looking for the same solution I was.

Thanks anyway.

Thanks, but that code seems to break my home page — nothing loads below the nav.

OK, @Guenni007 — putting the following in my child’s function.php file and re-uploading the images at a size greater than 495×400 worked! (note: regenerating the thumbnails with the Regenerate Thumbnails by József Koller plugin did not seem to work for me/this).

I’m curious, do you know what the 10, 1 refers to in the function?

Regardless, this solved my issue / answered my question — thanks so much!!

<?php

function custom_modified_thumb_sizes( $size ){
$size[‘magazine’] = array(‘width’=>495, ‘height’=>400 );
return $size;
}
add_filter(‘avf_modify_thumb_size’, ‘custom_modified_thumb_sizes’, 10, 1 );

Thanks @guenni007, that got me to the point where the functions.php file in my child theme isn’t breaking the site ;) So now I have the following in my child theme functions.php file. As you can see, I’ve changed the magazine line to use the same 495 x 400 used by the portfolio line. It doesn’t seem to be working — am I missing some code here, or do you have any other clues for me?

(@Nikko, thanks for the plugin suggestion, but I’d rather not just change all the 710 x 375 images generated by enfold to 495 x 400 — I’d rather just change what the magazine element uses and still have that 710 x 375 size available for other uses.)
