i’ve created a “Page”, & in this page, i put a “Text Block” and under that a “Blog Post” from the builder.
this worked fine for a while; then for no reason that i’ve been able to find, ANYTHING put above or below this “Blog Post” block simple does not render to the webpage.
i cannot then edit the “Text Blocks” i had there. when i click to do so, their content is simply gone -AND- the interface doesn’t work; meaning, i cannot add any more text to it, and the Visual wysiwyg tools are gone.
now, i CAN add new blocks (images, text, columns, etc) above/below the Blog Post block, & save the edits, but they do not show on the webpage either.
so i figured it got corrupt somehow. then i simply redid the page from scratch, then deleted the corrupt page. that went along fine for a few days, then again… the same thing happened.
before i keep redoing it, i thought i should ask about this in case there’s a fix.
please note: i HAVE searched for answers, and i HAVE disabled all the plugins, and i HAVE taken out all our custom code & stylings, but none of this seems to have any affect.
here’s a screenshot to hopefully help explain what’s happening…
thanks.
Hey SyberKnight,
Thank you for using Enfold.
Did you set the “News” page as blog in the theme options? If it is set as blog, is the Enfold > Blog Layout > Blog Layout settings set to the 5th option ( Use the advance layout builder… ) ? If this setting is not set properly, the blog page will not respect the content in the advance layout builder. It’s going to use the default template which is the index.php file.
Best regards,
Ismaelhi Ismael,
thanks for your reply! apologies for my delay.i looked in the “Theme Options > Theme Options > And where do you want to display the Blog?” and it was NOT set to my news page. i’m pretty sure i had set it to be so, but i could be wrong (or perhaps i did for the first attempt & forgot for this second). so i just set that & saved.
then i went to the “Theme Options > Blog Layout > Blog Layout” and it is set to the 2nd option (Single Author, small preview pic). i changed it to the 5th options (Use advanced layout editor) per your suggestion, saved, and refreshed the news page & the layout was reset, not how we wanted with the small thumbnails on the side.
then the “duh” moment hit me – i went in to edit the news page, clicked on the blog block to get to ITS settings, & changed the “Blog Style” there to the “Single Author, small pic” option and VIOLA! the blog style is back AND our text above it is now showing.
success.
thank you for your help.
that wasn’t very intuitive – hopefully the developers might consider looking in to that process a bit more in the future.
much appreciate the quick support tho!
✌🏼okay, so i spoke too soon…
now when i go to our “Category” pages, the layout like the main news page (Single Auth, small pic) is missing. it’s just titles & excerpts without the side thumbnails.where do i go to get this layout back for the category pages?
note: these are not “pages” but instead the menu items are pointed directly to the blog categories.am i gonna have to make all the categories actual pages like i did with the main news page?
thanks.i doublely spoke too soon…
as indicated in the screenshot, the editing options are still gone.so i guess the only thing this did fix is showing the custom content on top of the blog block in the rendered page.
any ideas?
—edit—
the owner was concerned about having the “custom content here” text displayed at the top of the news page; & since i can’t get in to edit that, i just moved it to the bottom & used some custom css to hide it (display:none) temporarily. this way you can see it in the admin area still.
Hi,
am i gonna have to make all the categories actual pages like i did with the main news page?
You can change the archive (category/tag) page style by using the following filter in the functions.php file.
add_filter('avf_blog_style','avia_change_category_blog_layout', 10, 2); function avia_change_category_blog_layout($layout, $context){ if($context == 'archive') $layout = 'single-small'; return $layout; }Available style are single-small, single-big, blog-grid and multi-big. I think you’re just confuse with the settings right now.
The plugins “AddToAny Share Buttons” prevents the builder from rendering the bottom part of the page and the “Shortcodes Ultimate” breaks the editor. The theme has its own share button and probably most shortcodes or elements that you will need is already available within the advance layout builder. We deactivated the plugins temporarily. Please contact the plugin author for more info.
Best regards,
Ismaelbut… how come the editor problem was ONLY with this one News page? the plugins didn’t seem to affect any other page. is it not possible that something else was/is causing the issue?
that code for the category pages worked great – thanks!
did you “activate” the Akismet plugin?
also, there’s an update to the Shortcodes Ultimate plugin, do you think that might fix the problem if there’s a conflict with it?
Hi,
Thank you for the update. I thought you’re referring to the “Featured News” section. Still, you have to remove the previous modification then use the following filter in the functions.php file to change the thumbnail size of the “news” widget.
function ava_change_widget_thumbnail() { global $avia_config; $avia_config['widget_image_size'] = 'medium'; return $avia_config; } add_action('init', 'ava_change_widget_thumbnail');The code above will force the news widget to use the “medium” thumbnail. You may still need to regenerate the thumbnails.
Best regards,
Ismaelokay, now we’re talkin!
that bit of code did the trick for the sidebar feature news image. thank you!!!
a few followup questions tho…
– did you reset the Emma plugin? all that’s been reset, so i have to redo all those settings.
– did you “activate” the Akismet plugin? that’s not something we need.
– i did the Shortcodes plugin update & re-activated it. will let you know if the editor problem returns. i won’t reactivate the Add2Any one tho; so hopefully between these 2 changes, the editor problem won’t come back.
FYI, for future reference, in case anybody else needs this info…
the last code bit above is the answer to a different question @ https://kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-news-widget-image-size-confliction
