Wait, are you saying that adding a background image in the Main Content area (in the Left Sidebar layout) does work? As far as I can tell, that option doesn’t work. And adding a right-aligned background image in the Logo Area via the option panel doesn’t seem to work either. Am I wrong about either of those things? I mean, it’s ok if they don’t work; you can just tell us, “Sorry, you’re right, those options don’t work in the Left Sidebar layout. We’ll try to either fix or remove those options in a future update,” or something like that… ;)
Your suggestion above puts a background color behind the border / menu divider lines. If you can send me css for a background image that’ll show up above / on top of the border / menu divider lines, that could work, but I couldn’t even figure out how to make your suggestion work with a background image.
Thanks again.
I don’t think that’s the issue — the background image shows in the header, footer, etc. — it just doesn’t show in the Main Content area, where I need it ;) You should easily be able to test this on your end — I think you’ll find that the theme option for adding a background image to the Main Content area doesn’t work in the Left Sidebar layout. Please let me know if I’m mistaken.
OK, so the theme option for adding a background image to the Main Content area doesn’t work in the Left Sidebar layout, correct?
But background images don’t seem to work at all in the Main Content area. The option is provided in the theme, and background images show in the General Styling preview, but they don’t show on the site.
Here’s a screen grab of the preview:

http://2fa.490.myftpupload.com/You can see the code in there, but it’s not working:
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/526deff2-94fe-4823-aa57-e4e934f4febe/df74fe614e6a94c6da306e40d719ec7aWell, I’m trying to get it to show up between the header/left column and the body area. So, I could put it in the header and use background-position to push it to the right, but then it’s behind the borders and in the middle of the mobile version header. So, ideally, it’d be at the left edge of the body area, but I think it’s getting hidden behind the body area somehow. You can see that it’s there if you squeeze the browser to tablet width (see https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/8c42c25e-f496-47af-aae0-7a8a1fe00b56/4bfdeacc9c88000eb556f3912a4b4df2 ), but it disappears in the desktop layout.
So, in other words, here’s what I’m after:

And I’m getting it in mobile/tablet view, but not in desktop.Thanks!
OK, I tried that — it’s in there now — didn’t seem to do anything… oh I see; you left the dot off the first class selector. So yeah, that turns the whole left column red (I can’t leave it like that, but I have a screen grab linked below). I’m trying to get a background image to tile vertically and align either top-right in that left column or top left in the body area. I can get it to align top left in the left column, but disappears when I go top right, and I can’t get it to show at all in the body area.
Thanks again!
http://skidrow.org/ — sorry, I figured you guys already had that from my many page references in this topic. Also, I had already sent you the url and user credentials on May 4th. Thanks.
That’s how I have it now, but it’s kind of a drag having to manually add titles to every page, and change them manually, if the page name changes. But more importantly, I can’t add titles to the category/archive pages, unless I manually create a category/archive page for every category.
If you want, we could work on just adding titles to the category pages — would that be easier? I just figured that, since it seems the theme has code to create titles for all pages in the Header Title and Breadcrumbs strip, we could maybe get that to show at the top of every body area instead.
Thanks again!
Thanks Ismael, but there are still a few couple of problems with that:
1) It still doesn’t seem to be getting down into the body area — it’s still butted up against the left edge of the browser — we can’t get it to show after the div class=container… or main class=content… tag?
2) It still doesn’t show the category title on the category/archive pages — it still just shows the title of the first post on those pages.
3) It doesn’t seem to be inside the custom-title div, so I don’t see how that selector would affect it.See this screen grab for those three issues:
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/585e37f5-8144-4a03-8107-c053accd840b/7d0cd953da6dd2d5d1d5b3a619a4cad4I’d like it to look like how I have the titles manually inserted now:
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/b9747b5c-4058-4932-843e-64bd725ec4c0/81eb14b9212f934d26915e4c77f73a6dSeems to me, whatever code you use to get the titles to show in the Header Title and Breadcrumbs strip would be the way to go — that code handles issue #2 above (getting the category/archive page titles to show.
Thanks for your continued effort on this!
Thanks, Ismael — that’s closer.
Here’s what the first function does: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/f753f1d3-cd78-4155-9a73-e8a911a5de6c/369ced36a93c0efed26d007ba74af645 — So, for one, that title’s still in a strip/row above the body area — I’m hoping to get it to show up IN the body area — in the main role=”main” area — where I currently have my manually inserted page titles.
Also, that just adds the first post title to the top of the category pages, instead of the category title: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/21482abe-ad3d-4778-810d-135a3e738cb0/f4f407c0c4673b435d51fdb2de8eec49
AND, that still duplicates the post titles on single post pages, where the title’s already automatically being added to the page: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/70600708-65c6-4309-9c78-aee2e1c2a48f/6c204c82f6d93d730de0e3174eb52853
The ava_after_main_title hook doesn’t seem to do anything at all. A hook is the same thing as a function, right? I add that in my child theme functions.php file just like the_title function, right?
Thanks!
I think maybe you were seeing a cached version from when I had Elliot’s snippet in the includes file. Again, with that snippet in there I got the excerpt and read more links on the category pages, but I would ONLY get the excerpt and read more links on the single posts, too, so I had to remove that snippet. But now I’m back to no excerpts/read more links on the category pages.

Here’s what I’m seeing: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s320/sh/673274c3-4014-424c-b912-6a33cf87b4b1/9532930bbf9dde6a04a63b419bb1446c
Oops, scratch that — sorry — I asked that hastily. I see now I had some custom css on .content ul that was adding some left margin, thus pushing the right side of the slideshow out of it’s div and effectively chopping off the right side of those images, including the rounded corners ;)
Thanks anyway, sorry for the false alarm!
Well, I can’t leave the live site like that, but I’ll send you the admin account in private. Thanks and let me know if you have any other questions.
Sorry, that doesn’t seem to be any different, to me — that still creates duplicate title on posts (see link below) and still no automatic titles on pages. Again, the single posts are fine — they already have titles — what I need is automated page titles and titles for the category/archive pages (the title/name of the category at the top of the page). In other words, if we could somehow bring the titles that are generated in the header “strip” (the same strip where the breadcrumbs show) into the body area, we’d be in business ;) And I do have a child theme in-place, btw.
Hey, it looks like maybe you didn’t paste the code in your response? All I see is “check if we got posts to display”,
OK, that works — thanks! I added a little fine-tuning to pull it away from the menu icon and line it up vertically with the menu icon lines:
`@media only screen and (max-width: 990px) {
.responsive.html_mobile_menu_tablet #header_main .social_bookmarks {
display: block !important;
position: absolute;
right: 22%;
top: 53%;
}
}`Hmm, I am seeing the menu and slider now — maybe it was just a cache issue or something. But I still don’t see the facebook icon — I don’t seem to have that extra menu with the icon at the bottom of the screen like you do (I’m on an iPhone 6, iOS 8.3, if that helps).
Thanks, but that only seems to add titles to single posts — I need titles on all pages and archive pages.
I think I’m looking for the same thing, here — a way to get automatic page titles, but in the body area, not in the strip with the breadcrumbs.
In other words, If I choose “Hide Both” in the Header > Header Title and Breadcrumbs option/pull-down (because I don’t want that extra strip/row in the header), I lose my automated page titles. If I still want titles on my pages, I have to manually add them to each page (e.g., http://skidrow.org/work/ ). And yes, as Kevin mentions, then I don’t have titles on my category pages (e.g., http://skidrow.org/category/affordable-housing/ )
So, is there a way to get the page titles to automatically show in the body area? Ismael’s hook looks close, except that the title would be the same for all pages, that way, right?
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.
Oh, I’m sorry — I know I tried that (Peter’s post) before, but I thought it didn’t work for me, for some reason… OH! I see what it is! Peter’s snippet doesn’t add the excerpt and read more links. BUT, that snippet combined with Elliot’s tweak to the includes file above (April 22) gives me what I’m looking for — the thumbnails and excerpt and read more links on archives pages.
Thanks guys!!
Uh oh! It looks like Elliot’s snippet in the includes file was actually conflicting with my single posts pages — instead of showing the whole post, they were just showing the excerpt and read more link. So, back to the drawing board. Can we re-open this ticket? Now I’m back to needing excerpts and read more links on my category/archive pages (e.g., http://skidrow.org/category/affordable-housing/ ).
Thanks, but that just changes the font color. I’d like to to act just like the other buttons, where the font color stays the same and the background lightens just a little. In other words, how can I keep the font color the same, but just have the background lighten a little (not turn to white)?
Yes, I’m using the “Advanced Layout Editor” option in Dashboard > Enfold > Blog Layout > Style. I need to use that method so I can maintain the sidebar submenu on the main blog page and put other things in the body area of the main blog page. The code snippet you gave me added excerpts and read more links to my archives pages, I’m just hoping we could also add thumbnails on those archives pages (e.g., http://skidrow.org/category/affordable-housing/).
I’ll send you a login in the following, private reply.
I think I’m having the same issue — my full-width buttons change to white on rollover / hover — http://879.890.myftpupload.com/programs/women-supporting-women/ — and that screencast is a broken link.
Please advise. Thanks!
Right, but when you use the blog post element, it only shows the thumbnails on the blog index — I’ve switched it back to that setting so you can see (e.g., http://skidrow.org/category/affordable-housing/). And if I use the other method, I lose the sidebar submenu and, since I handle my page titles manually, I lose the page title on the blog index.
